Not long after a friend moved from the US to Toronto we were at a cocktail party here. Someone made a rather cutting joke about someone else (completely as a joke) which surprised my American friend. He said "Wow! I thought Canadians were known for being nice." I replied "No, we're known for being polite. Those are two VERY different things." 😄
He’s making fun of Canadians’ sense of “moral superiority” about our American neighbours and our pride at being known as peace keepers around the world to skillfully poke fun at us as much as he is Americans. Brilliant!
The difference is that jokes about Canada get a laugh...jokes about America can get you killed...ok maybe that's an exaggeration...at least threatened with death or unwanted sexual offers.
0:35 I once heard a quote (I forget where/who) that said "We used to listen to Politicians and laugh at Comedians. Now we listen to Comedians and laugh at Politicians."
I think this came from the States and when trump got in, it became very true that SNL didn't need to write their comedy anymore. It was discussed in newscast, youtube videos. "trustworthy ones" LOL! Yeah but this guy had a real good comedy Shtick.
@@JanewomanpowerIt’s probably from before Trump, my guess is George W. Bush era, when Jon Stewart of all people was the most trusted name in American news.
One of the best examples of Canadianism I have ever seen is The Graham Norton episode with both Ryan Reynolds and Will Smith. It's tricky to see maybe if you're an American but it's really a good example of American versus Canadian. Will Smith is kind of the ultimate example of an american - he's cocky, flashy and likes to be in the limelight. At one point they ask Ryan to tell a story and Will can't help himself and needs to be involved in the story. And I don't even know if most Americans would see it, but Ryan very strategically tells his story while also very subtly insulting Will. Or rather, letting Will insult himself. I don't think Will even notices. That's kind of the ultimate Canadian way of doing things. And Canadians will see that episode and be watching something completely different than an american simply because we see a nuance in what's going on that an american might not see. The British do it too, they just don't bother with the polite part. Ryan is a fantastic example of "Canadian". His humour is dark, sarcastic, cutting and intelligent... and yet if you ask anyone to describe him they say he's pretty, funny and just a really nice guy. 😂
I saw the episode and you are right.. I see American humour as more slapstick. Slap you in the face. Canadian humour is subversive, dry and a bit sly. Darker sometimes too. And a perfect example is that brilliant CBC show Talking to Americans with Rick Mercer. Also Codco and 22 Minutes.
@@TomHuston43 True, but not all passive-aggressiveness is conveyed by humour. There's a reason 'sorry' has so many definitions in Canada. "Sorry-not sorry" only exists in print here. Spoken, there's a 'sorry' for that. Lol Now that I think about it, there's at least a dozen ways to say 'sorry' in a not sorry way.
I have tried to explain to Tyler before about Canada's advanced passive-aggressiveness but, I don't think he was ready for it back then. So, I'll say it again here and hope he sees it. Canadian's have taken Britain's dry humour and turned it into dry politeness. A Canadian can have a conversation with an American where the American leaves with good (local) information and feeling warm and fuzzy about their interaction. Meanwhile, the Canadian and any in earshot are busting themselves laughing because they took the piss out of the American without getting caught. Canadian politeness is real and myth at the same time - all due to our mastery of passive-aggressive. With that said, it's needed in Canada to survive, due to the copious amounts of it flying around at any given time.
Oh Tyler, one of these days you need to sit down with a few Canadians who can just explain the nature of Canadian humour. When you have to exist in -30°C theres a certain passive agressive sarcasm that develops, made greater by our British history.
The biggest difference between US and Canadian humor beyond the obvious French connection is the Scottish influence; the Brits, as usual, kept the southern parts of the colonies to themselves and forced the Scots (and Irish) to forage North.
In Canada it's a routine "vibe check" to poke some fun and make sure nobody takes themselves too seriously. Like manners and wanting to help others, it's buried deep in the Canadian DNA. I assume we got this particular trait of "taking the piss" from the Brits. You may not pick up on it, but he’s mocking 🇨🇦 in our “only for us” style. That’s part of the dance, there better be some self-deprecation in your jab 😉
This is such a good way of putting it. Americans think we are subdued but they miss that what's actually happening is they're essentially being tested. If they pass we carry on and get along... if not they get a "k, have a nice day"... with an eye roll they don't catch. We are far more British than American.
My favorite thing about the fellow's delivery is that he always seems to be suffering from an EPIC ice cream headache, which makes everything he says hilarious.
We know a great deal about you. We consume a lot of your media, and we keep up well on current events. You are lovely to keep explaining American’s, but I promise Canadians already know.
Fun fact the reason Canadians celebrate thanksgiving in October instead of November because of the harvesting time. We harvest crops earlier here due to the earlier winter.
@@VacheriedevacherieAction de Grâce literally means giving thanks to God. It's just the name given to the holiday. It has no basis in religious doctrine, it's like St Jean Baptiste, the name given to the celebration of the turning of summer.
@@kana_s you are wrong, they were pagan days that the church took over in the beginning of middle-ages so, here on this continent, they were always religious days. St-Jean-Baptiste was chosen as the nation’s saint, hence why we celebrate that day. Go learn some history.
Timbits hahaha it is more than that! 😂 “Gardening only 3 months” I can’t stop laughing since the beginning. Thanks! (I would never ever listen to you in my working place! 🫣😆 You are adorable! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
my mom has mastered the fine canadian art of insulting someone and them not realising it until later because she says it so kindly. i aspire to reach her level lmao
I love this! I've been told I do this as well. They say your so sweet and kind, but you can use your words to basically tell someone to go f*** themselves, in the kindest way, and they say thank you, lol.
The first comedian here is Jeremy Hotz. He's been touring since the early 90's and his entire delivery is always just like that. I have seen him twice and people couldn't breathe, they were laughing so hard.
@@ManCub25 And it's a real shame. Alberta is so beautiful. I was born and raised in Calgary but moved to Manitoba when I was older. I feel sad that Calgary turned so American. I blame the oil business. A lot of American oil companies moved in. Americans don't value our beautiful country like we do. They want to trash the place for money.
Thanks Tyler, love Jeremy Hotz, he's pretty funny, I've seen a few of his routines through the years. Yes, we bash/roast Americans, but they do the same thing. I was talking to an American friend of mine on discord the other day and he asked me what I was having for Thanksgiving, I mentioned that we had ours 3 weeks ago and he was very confused and bewildered that we don't have Thanksgiving on the same day. Anyways, thanks for your videos, love them, keep them coming.
I'm Canadian, and I found it funny when American comedians make funny of us and vice-versa. Like you say, there is truth in those jokes and make us realize that we are not always smart.😂
I am often struck at how great comedians can make a joke that sounds critical of Canada but ends up being such a wonderful compliment...South Park is great at it.
I’m glad you found Jeremy Hotz, there’s a few clips from his Just For Laughs appearances. There’s one where he talks about the City of Tarzana that’s also hilarious.
Jeremy Hotz is a Canadian gem. He's my favourite comedian and I've seen him 7 times . He's a super nice guy too and stays after all his shows to sign stuff and take pictures.
The guy was funny. so just to reiterate most Canadians. 35- forty years old and older know all about american history such as pilgrims, et cetera and about other countries histories too.
True! I think there is a lot of things they don’t learn in school these days like for exemple, we learned Roman numbers in my time but I don’t know if it’s something they still learn today? We used to have a wider spread kind of education I think. I graduated from high school in June 1990. And my kids were born in 2001-2002 and already, i noticed that I don’t remember them learning about a lot of stuff that we did have to learn younger. But I think also they learn stuff we didn’t (thanks to new technologies)… Times are changing and we start to say what our parents used to tell us and the new generation will do the same when they grow older like many of us and it will be the same rolling stone again and again like it always been 😊 As you get older and mature you understand life and the world much better and the youngest are always gonna be the ones wanting to bust their shells and revolution the world with their « new way » of doing things thinking they are the next best thing (like we all did as teens). It’s always gonna be this trench between generations because of the level of maturity of the brain each generation is going through. So a young person is always gonna be green no matter how much knowing they have and they will always be « against » the older generation. As the older generation will always complain about the young ones beeing « know-it-all’s » without listening to us while we don’t remember that being arrogant is also part of being young. I remember when I was a teen, feeling hated by the elderly generation (in crowds, bus, etc) as I saw in their faces hatred towards « young crazy 80’s generation » and I remember feeling judged and hated just for being young and stupid. I didn’t understand at that time, now I do. Sometimes, we have to be more like youth and try new things just like youth have to listen more to the elderly since they know more about life but hey… that’s how it always been and will always be as I now see things. ✌️ Sorry for sliding away from the main subject, I got myself too much thinking while writing 😅
@@KukumEesinekapo I finished grade 12 in 1983. I was taught (and can still read), roman numerals in elementary school during the 70s. I learned more about American history in Canadian schools than contemporary Americans were being taught, and still somehow managed to be taught more about our own history besides. I don't wonder why that was.
Interest. You will read more ona topic you like than on the one you don't like. I always liked reading history as well as some math. I still read history and don't like to waste my reading time on fiction. Reality is so much nicer. These days I read a lot on ww2, because my father wasin it and never said much. I remember his history in it because every so often he would be in a conversation with someone else who was there also. But he would never talk about it to me or my siblings. So I have his payback and some other momentos that he gave my mother. I used the pay book to locate him monthly and then follow up with some books that are being written. There are still ones being written. Some important files from the British archives are only now being written about. One very important thing was kept in confidential files until 1975, and the books relating too it has only been published since 1980 or so. That one file lead me to the reason why my father died early and at a fairly young age, relatively speaking. 5000 commonwealth soldiers parished in that action, as far as I can figure out. I found the date and location and Googled it. And I have gone through most f my books and no other reference to that event was found. Yet!
I graduated high school in 1965, and went off to UNB and graduated with BSC in geology, and then worked in the mining industry, as a mining geologist and as an exploration geologist. I have always tried to read history, and try not to indulge in fiction, there is a lot more action in reality. I do enjoy sci-fi movies, but not books.
Thanksgiving is earlier in Canada because our crop season finishes earlier. We (used to) celebrate all the food we've been able to grow and stock for the coming winter. The potatoes are out of the soil, the apples are ready to drop and the pumpkins are all that's left in the fields. Around the 31 of October, snow is going to start to fall. It's gonna be time to hibernate.
I probably know more about the "pilgrims" than 80% of Americans do because our history courses in school are more about historical fact than political fantasy. A) they weren't fleeing religious persecution, they were fleeing the consequences of their persecuting of every other religious belief in England while Cromwell held power. They wanted to create a theocracy in North America. 424 years later, their descendants, evangelical Americans, are as close to succeeding at that as they've ever come. B) the first Thanksgiving was a feast held to thank the natives for saving their sorry asses from their agricultural incompetence and the famine they were suffering as a result. The following year, they attacked and slaughtered those same natives, "for the good of their heathen souls". C) the Salem witch trials. 'Nuff said. There's a reason the term "puritanical" is a euphemism for "religiously oppressive". The pilgrims were Puritans, the absolute worst of Christianity's many despicable sects. They are nothing and no one to celebrate.
You skipped the part where they went to the Netherlands after fleeing England. They couldn't survive there so fled to America, along with some Dutch that joined them. This part seems to always be left out of the story.
This. Yes. Let’s not forget all those blankets tainted with smallpox they purposely gave to Natives to kill them off-that was a cross-boarder endeavour all the white trappers everywhere in NA seemed to get in on. My Canadian history lessons told us nothing of that, but at least they never ever described the pilgrims as heroic, but as bumbling morons. It was the Native channel that cable HAD to offer with the basic package that did a documentary on smallpox-that channel taught me so much!
We Americans do not care about what happened 300 to 400 years ago. They may have a saying that if you are ignorant of history, then you are doomed to repeat it. Well that won't happen in this modern age because of our technology. Like what's going on in Israel. American news outlets spread the lie that Israel bombed a hospital. Within a couple days the truth came out. Back to the point of that Americans don't care. It's because neither of us were alive back then. You have your historical accounts and we have ours. We will never know the whole story.
I didn't know this comedian, but I like his comedy character, like put-upon, exhausted and kind of terrified? It's pretty funny. ... and kind of how US politics makes us feel! 😜
yeah being USA neighbours can be scary, never felt so strongly since trump got in. I cried the day he won the election. no joke and my socially conscious friends around me did too. It was devastating. and i do feel for many of the american people.
@@Janewomanpower I was terrified. I continue to feel terrified as long as Trump is allowed to open his mouth and his cult followers continue to believe his lies.
YES... this is my favourite of Jeremy Hotz's comedy routines. Definitely one of the funniest Canadian comedians. I'm so excited to see your reaction to this video.
🙋♀️ Canadian here. I say y'all all the time. But I say things from around the world 🤷. Bloody hell and brilliant from Britain. I answer my kids with Da instead of yes. When they were little I'd say don't touch in french. I say gesundheit instead of bless you. We have a very rotund vocabulary up here lol 😂
@@raddadray7535 I'm also learning Greek and picking up words in Spanish, Irish, Italian and Japanese from other family members learning those languages 😅😂
Yawl: two-masted sailboat, usually rigged with one or more jibsails, a mainsail, and a mizzen. In common with the ketch, the forward (main) mast is higher than the mizzenmast, but the mizzenmast of a yawl is placed astern of the rudder post, while that of the ketch is closer amidships.
I did stand-up comedy for many years and had the privilege to work with people like Jeremy Hotz among other Canadians. I used a different stage name and don't do it anymore . Jeremy is awesome and a super nice guy. I wish him all the best.
The funniest thing I have ever read about Americans was a very good American friend of mine, telling me when Covid hit and Trump was in power, "Canadians must think they're living upstairs from a meth lab!" Absolutely broke me up!
This guy is absolutely hilarious. The way he uses his voice, movements & speaking under his breath are funny. Y’all sounds weird to most of us, yes to passive aggressiveness sometimes - and yes, to our self-depecrating HUMOUR (at times) More comedy!
I CANNOT COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE SEEN JEREMY OVER THE YEARS. THE LAST TIME WAS MARCH 2022 AND HE IS ALWAYS THE SAME FUNNY BUT GENUINELY NICE GUY BUT HE WOULD NOT ADMIT THAT. HE INTERACTS WITH HIS AUDIENCE AND STAYS AFTER FOR SOME PICS WITH HIS FANS. SHACKLETON IS ALWAYS THERE FOR THE MEET AND GREET AS WELL.
Miserable Jeremy Hotz is miserable about everything! You name it - he's miserable about it. We bask and revel in Jeremy's miserable misery to great delight. He's great!
I was there live around that time, may be a different stage not sure but it was part of the just for laughs festival. He came to kingston ontario. He is sooooo funny!!!!
If you liked this, you GOTTA react to some of Russell Peters' (also Canadian) earlier work, particularly when he talks about his family being immigrants to Canada.
Don't worry Tyler! Canadians (and Quebecers, these "Canadians" who don't consider themselves Canadian), LOOOVE Americans! They just like to pretend they don't. 😆 Oh, and yes: "Y'all" is NOT said in Canada! Never mind Québec, which speaks mostly French. -From Montreal with love
That’s a little exaggerated, “LOOOVE Americans”….well, maybe some of them, some are, ahem, nut jobs who make our nut jobs look like amateurs!,😅. However we do share a beautiful continent!
Maybe the most well known stand up comedian from Canada is Russell Peters. Jim Carrey started his career in stand up, but he hasn't done it since the early 90s. If you really want to see what Russell can do, his Comedy Now stand up is legendary. All of his classic bits are there and he's playing basically for a home audience. It's well worth your time.
The American animal is really fascinating. I'd say that we as French Canadians are tad closer in attitude and manners to Americans than the rest of Canada. We tend to be more crazy and uncivilized and yet still be friendly at the same time. It's an odd combination that we share with Americans. Also yeah your guns scare me as you have more than half of all the firearms on the planet and seem to have a spree killing with them every week or so!😮
Spree killing 😂? And many of us own a firearm because of that because there are psychos in this world nowadays as a Hispanic loving near in the west coast in my state we have a lot of firearms it not as much of the violence you see on tv or where your from it depends on the state and maybe big city.
@@AnikMonette I think this comment is meant for Adrian. I was commenting on your first paragraph. About guns I agree with you thoroughly. It happens everywhere, and many countries are far worse than the US.
Passive aggressive sarcastic satire with strong flavourings of irreverence, double meanings and nuance. We poke fun at ourselves as much as we poke fun at others as well.
He is hilarious. I went to his show about 2 years ago and then he stayed to sign things, take pictures with anyone who wanted to. Super nice guy. He had his cute little dog with him. 😊
The comedian was making as many jokes about Canada as he was about the USA. Canadians don't take themselves too seriously. Check out comedian Rick Mercer talking to our prime ministers, Chrétien, Martin, & Harper.
He forgot to mention another thing Canada is known for...... our Geese. It's true, RUN OR THEY WILL GET YOU...... Comment by a Canadian herself = ME!!! ❤😂 This was good.
The comic is a satirist. Satire is Canadian humour. Satire doesn't play well in the US. He's actually making fun of Canadians and our prim sense of superiority.
I found this hilarious, it’s all in good fun from my perspective. I’m Canadian, I have no problems with Americans. My best friend is an American. We can joke about it. Funny vid though! Thanks!
Havent seen this set in a long time. I must say though, there IS a Canadian Knife, and as an outdorrsman, I must say it is amazing. Grohmann knives on the east coast.
If you want something very positive that Canada and the US did together. Read about Sir William Stevenson and camp X and the impact they had on the war. Truly amazing collaboration.
never seen him before but actually laughed as a dual us/canadian citizen who has spent about equal time in both places. this is so spot on. and mostly true. haha (we cant give away all the secrets)
He's a funny dude, seen him many times.. It's all stereo-types and just funny.. Canadians and Americans are like brothers! Scrap a little but always stick up for each other!. Cheers (Sorry) lol
Jeremy is quite a unique comedian. His delivery is hilarious. Tyler hasn't known him long enough to realize laughing at himself is all a part of his schtick. He's really funny. One of my favourites. Really enjoyed this thanks Tyler!
Also there are other great Canadian Comics like Howie Mandel, Jim Carrey, Leslie Nielson and John Candy, both past & present, who have a remarkable way of being subtle & hilarious!!
Canadian here, I HATE “ya’ll” 😖 the worst is when I get emails from American customers and they put it in the email. It sounds low class to me when it’s used like that. Say it to a friend in a casual setting, not in an email.
It always makes wonder how many of me they're seeing when they say "y'all" to me. Should lay off the Canadian beer, maybe. Stick to their American liquor ...
@@williamdemerchant7295 We have a friend who was born in Canada. His parents spent time during his early childhood in Louisiana. The family returned to Canada before he reached his teens and has remained here since. This friend will often use y all and eh in the same sentence. It just seems so strange to the rest of us.
I hate when Americans try to insist that it's usage is completely normal. Go to literally ANY other English speaking country in the entire world and use "Y'all" in a sentence. See what kind of looks you get.
I'd love to see you react to Jim Carrey - an un-natural act! He goes over many stereotype that people have of us Canadians, and it's hilarious and also very true 😂
Well, we are much more alike than we know… difference is we Canadians are more laidback and polite while Americans are more « in your face » but I think we have a loooooot more in common than it is said 😅 Americans talks a lot and are loud but Canadians are just differently wired so we act different but in the core, I don’t think we are that different 🙂
I think the climate has a lot to do with it. People from cold countries seem to be more confident of their ability to solve problems, because they've had a lot of practice. If you compare Canadians to the citizens of our mother countries, the UK and France, and our stepmother country, the US, Canadians are much less excitable. In the three other countries people are always thinking the sky is falling. But yes, we do have a lot in common with Americans, and many of us have relatives there, so we know they're OK, before they start joining groups, anyway.
Sorry, to me your comment ended at "Canadians are just differently wired". There's no 'but' after that. We kept WAY more European culture than Americans. They burned everything British after their rebellion and British loyalists fled to Canada, thus cementing our ties to European culture. We don't think like Americans, therefore, at the core we're different. This is why I can't Americans not learning Canadian history as well as their own. They're so intertwined there wouldn't be one without the other. And in my books, that alone makes us different enough to not be compared.
@@PaulMartin-qu5up while I understand your point, I disagree greatly. You see, I am from the French East, you see where I am going? I am not just a «frog » like other provinces kindly treat us but I am also originated from the Innus, First Nations from Labrador. I know all about beeing taken advantage of and I am sorry to not be as sympathetic to the poor English settlers being robbed 🤣 I tried to be as Canadianly polite as possible writing these words because I got very very triggered by your comment. The executioner you were yesterday makes you the victim you are today and vice versa. No one is a pure sparkling star, we all did bad to other groups. So as a native medecine woman, I have these to say and it’s very simple. There is an old and very wise Native American saying: Every time you point a finger in scorn-there are three remaining fingers pointing right back at you. We are not better than others, we are very different and from your point of view, you think you’ve been victimized but you forget that you were the first executioner in the first place. If you are not better, be quiet. Pointing fingers never helped nobody and more so when you have been so… cruel to us native people in the first place. I am too triggered to say anything else. I really thought that we as a whole, were past these nonsense bs. The world doesn’t evolve as fast as I though. The audacity is rude and disrespectful to me and you just talked like the American you so don’t want to look like. The irony is cringe
@@KukumEesinekapo Lol Where did I say anything about being a victim. All I'm saying is that Canadians and Americans are fundamentally different. In how we speak, in how we think, how we treat each other, how we interact with the rest of the world, in our education, human rights (not perfect by any stretch, but better than our neighbours to the south)... the list is near endless. No one is fundamentally better than anyone else. With that said, some make better choices and we (as a nation) have that in spades.
This guy’s style is to be insulting. Most times he’s funny but sometimes his humour is a bit much. As for y’all, we were taught to say “you all” or it was considered incorrect grammar. Each country has their own unique words. Lol

My favorite thing about the fellow's delivery is that he always seems to be suffering from an EPIC ice cream headache, which makes everything he says hilarious.
We know a great deal about you. We consume a lot of your media, and we keep up well on current events. You are lovely to keep explaining American’s, but I promise Canadians already know.
He's not really laughing, that just his style, his schtick.
Yes. I like this comedian's style. He so funny.
Yes, he is a quit comedian but he walks around on stage with a BIG schtick (just watch out when he starts swinging it)
It plays well. He seems to be laughing at the utter ridiculousness of everything. ...and there is a lot of that to go around. 😂
He's plotting his next joke.
He’s great, good comedy, but why does he have to touch his face throughout the whole thing? Couldn’t concentrate on anything else…. 😅
Canadians know A LOT about American Thanksgiving. Especially the stuff they don't want you to know about it
I know more about the U.S. than most of the citizens
Please review Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans. It is hilarious.
Yes I said the same thing
Absolutely that’s what he should check out. And he’s not making fun of Americans- they’re doing it themselves- inadvertently.
Remember his interview with GW Bush on hos opinion of Prime minister Poutine? 😅😂😅🤣
Your opening commentaries and throughout are a riot! 🤣🤣🤣. Love and laughter from Canada
Fun fact the reason Canadians celebrate thanksgiving in October instead of November because of the harvesting time. We harvest crops earlier here due to the earlier winter.
No, lol, it comes from a religious day « Action de Grâce ».
Yes, that is true ... Our crops are predominantly ready for harvest by October before the first frost.
@@VacheriedevacherieAction de Grâce literally means giving thanks to God. It's just the name given to the holiday. It has no basis in religious doctrine, it's like St Jean Baptiste, the name given to the celebration of the turning of summer.
@@kana_s you are wrong, they were pagan days that the church took over in the beginning of middle-ages so, here on this continent, they were always religious days. St-Jean-Baptiste was chosen as the nation’s saint, hence why we celebrate that day. Go learn some history.
Timbits hahaha it is more than that! 😂 “Gardening only 3 months” I can’t stop laughing since the beginning. Thanks! (I would never ever listen to you in my working place! 🫣😆
You are adorable! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
AH! Frozen Timbits! Remember them well when I used to wait for a friend to finish his shift in the back of Timmy's
my mom has mastered the fine canadian art of insulting someone and them not realising it until later because she says it so kindly. i aspire to reach her level lmao
I love this! I've been told I do this as well. They say your so sweet and kind, but you can use your words to basically tell someone to go f*** themselves, in the kindest way, and they say thank you, lol.
Don't reveal our superpower...defenses against truth are always being developed ...
@@YourHeartsDesiresTruth can do that...truth without kindness is cruelty.
My wife is like this haha she works customer service and has the ability to tell the customers to go eff themselves and they thank her for it😂
The first comedian here is Jeremy Hotz. He's been touring since the early 90's and his entire delivery is always just like that. I have seen him twice and people couldn't breathe, they were laughing so hard.
Love his comedy!!! Glad you’re getting introduced to him. ❤
Canada celebrated Thanksgiving before Americans started doing it. Ours was giving thanks for the plentiful harvest. ❤️🇨🇦
Americans do that mostly as well.
@@annsumner8570What they do mostly is shop and watch football- that’s what they give thanks for - not pilgrims with belts on their hats.
Is this correct? I thought the first Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated as a national holiday in 1879, and the first American one in 1621
Tyler, you don't need to explain "Texas" to us. Canadians know what Texas is.
Texas is just Alberta with the furnace turned up.
@@ManCub25Calgary is just awful. I live here. I know.
Right!? We have Alberta.
@@ManCub25 And it's a real shame. Alberta is so beautiful. I was born and raised in Calgary but moved to Manitoba when I was older. I feel sad that Calgary turned so American. I blame the oil business. A lot of American oil companies moved in. Americans don't value our beautiful country like we do. They want to trash the place for money.
Ya we look at Alberta and have a very good idea what Texas is
Thanks Tyler, love Jeremy Hotz, he's pretty funny, I've seen a few of his routines through the years. Yes, we bash/roast Americans, but they do the same thing. I was talking to an American friend of mine on discord the other day and he asked me what I was having for Thanksgiving, I mentioned that we had ours 3 weeks ago and he was very confused and bewildered that we don't have Thanksgiving on the same day. Anyways, thanks for your videos, love them, keep them coming.
Yeah, and until recently "Black Friday" in Canada was the day the Avro Arrow jet was cancelled...
I remember suggesting Jeremy Hotz so early on in this yt channel. So glad he’s finally getting around to it!
I'm Canadian, and I found it funny when American comedians make funny of us and vice-versa. Like you say, there is truth in those jokes and make us realize that we are not always smart.😂
I am often struck at how great comedians can make a joke that sounds critical of Canada but ends up being such a wonderful compliment...South Park is great at it.
We deserve to be proud...in a humble way...Canadian. Christian too I think.
You do realize that Canadians are American right ?
I’m glad you found Jeremy Hotz, there’s a few clips from his Just For Laughs appearances. There’s one where he talks about the City of Tarzana that’s also hilarious.
Jeremy Hotz is one of my favorite comedians. Such a funny guy.
That gardener joke was priceless
Jeremy Hotz is a Canadian gem. He's my favourite comedian and I've seen him 7 times . He's a super nice guy too and stays after all his shows to sign stuff and take pictures.
You might want to look at Rick Mercer's "Talking to Americans ".
I don't know how to reach out to you directly, but if you are wondering how to look that up, just type it ìn the search bar...
The guy was funny. so just to reiterate most Canadians. 35- forty years old and older know all about american history such as pilgrims, et cetera and about other countries histories too.
True! I think there is a lot of things they don’t learn in school these days like for exemple, we learned Roman numbers in my time but I don’t know if it’s something they still learn today? We used to have a wider spread kind of education I think.
I graduated from high school in June 1990. And my kids were born in 2001-2002 and already, i noticed that I don’t remember them learning about a lot of stuff that we did have to learn younger.
But I think also they learn stuff we didn’t (thanks to new technologies)…
Times are changing and we start to say what our parents used to tell us and the new generation will do the same when they grow older like many of us and it will be the same rolling stone again and again like it always been 😊
As you get older and mature you understand life and the world much better and the youngest are always gonna be the ones wanting to bust their shells and revolution the world with their « new way » of doing things thinking they are the next best thing (like we all did as teens). It’s always gonna be this trench between generations because of the level of maturity of the brain each generation is going through. So a young person is always gonna be green no matter how much knowing they have and they will always be « against » the older generation. As the older generation will always complain about the young ones beeing « know-it-all’s » without listening to us while we don’t remember that being arrogant is also part of being young.
I remember when I was a teen, feeling hated by the elderly generation (in crowds, bus, etc) as I saw in their faces hatred towards « young crazy 80’s generation » and I remember feeling judged and hated just for being young and stupid. I didn’t understand at that time, now I do.
Sometimes, we have to be more like youth and try new things just like youth have to listen more to the elderly since they know more about life but hey… that’s how it always been and will always be as I now see things.
✌️
Sorry for sliding away from the main subject, I got myself too much thinking while writing 😅
You just went down the rabbit hole. We really need to watch out for those things!😅 But, you did come back out. Congratulations🎉
@@KukumEesinekapo I finished grade 12 in 1983. I was taught (and can still read), roman numerals in elementary school during the 70s. I learned more about American history in Canadian schools than contemporary Americans were being taught, and still somehow managed to be taught more about our own history besides.
I don't wonder why that was.
Interest. You will read more ona topic you like than on the one you don't like. I always liked reading history as well as some math. I still read history and don't like to waste my reading time on fiction. Reality is so much nicer. These days I read a lot on ww2, because my father wasin it and never said much. I remember his history in it because every so often he would be in a conversation with someone else who was there also. But he would never talk about it to me or my siblings. So I have his payback and some other momentos that he gave my mother. I used the pay book to locate him monthly and then follow up with some books that are being written. There are still ones being written. Some important files from the British archives are only now being written about. One very important thing was kept in confidential files until 1975, and the books relating too it has only been published since 1980 or so. That one file lead me to the reason why my father died early and at a fairly young age, relatively speaking. 5000 commonwealth soldiers parished in that action, as far as I can figure out. I found the date and location and Googled it. And I have gone through most f my books and no other reference to that event was found. Yet!
I graduated high school in 1965, and went off to UNB and graduated with BSC in geology, and then worked in the mining industry, as a mining geologist and as an exploration geologist. I have always tried to read history, and try not to indulge in fiction, there is a lot more action in reality. I do enjoy sci-fi movies, but not books.
This is hilariously accurate and not as exaggerated as you might think 😂
For real 😂😂😂
I love him. I have seen him live twice. His laughing at his own jokes is part of his routine.
Thanksgiving is earlier in Canada because our crop season finishes earlier. We (used to) celebrate all the food we've been able to grow and stock for the coming winter. The potatoes are out of the soil, the apples are ready to drop and the pumpkins are all that's left in the fields. Around the 31 of October, snow is going to start to fall. It's gonna be time to hibernate.
I enjoyed myself watching this one - think you might do more "reacting to comedy routines about our differences" or similar, vids?
Thumbs up from me!
I probably know more about the "pilgrims" than 80% of Americans do because our history courses in school are more about historical fact than political fantasy.
A) they weren't fleeing religious persecution, they were fleeing the consequences of their persecuting of every other religious belief in England while Cromwell held power. They wanted to create a theocracy in North America. 424 years later, their descendants, evangelical Americans, are as close to succeeding at that as they've ever come.
B) the first Thanksgiving was a feast held to thank the natives for saving their sorry asses from their agricultural incompetence and the famine they were suffering as a result. The following year, they attacked and slaughtered those same natives, "for the good of their heathen souls".
C) the Salem witch trials. 'Nuff said.
There's a reason the term "puritanical" is a euphemism for "religiously oppressive". The pilgrims were Puritans, the absolute worst of Christianity's many despicable sects. They are nothing and no one to celebrate.
You skipped the part where they went to the Netherlands after fleeing England. They couldn't survive there so fled to America, along with some Dutch that joined them. This part seems to always be left out of the story.
Your comment was a perfect education for those who still believe the lies. 👍
So Hotz goes easy on them...?
Yes. Yes, he does.
This. Yes. Let’s not forget all those blankets tainted with smallpox they purposely gave to Natives to kill them off-that was a cross-boarder endeavour all the white trappers everywhere in NA seemed to get in on. My Canadian history lessons told us nothing of that, but at least they never ever described the pilgrims as heroic, but as bumbling morons. It was the Native channel that cable HAD to offer with the basic package that did a documentary on smallpox-that channel taught me so much!
We Americans do not care about what happened 300 to 400 years ago. They may have a saying that if you are ignorant of history, then you are doomed to repeat it. Well that won't happen in this modern age because of our technology. Like what's going on in Israel. American news outlets spread the lie that Israel bombed a hospital. Within a couple days the truth came out. Back to the point of that Americans don't care. It's because neither of us were alive back then. You have your historical accounts and we have ours. We will never know the whole story.
I didn't know this comedian, but I like his comedy character, like put-upon, exhausted and kind of terrified? It's pretty funny. ... and kind of how US politics makes us feel! 😜
yeah being USA neighbours can be scary, never felt so strongly since trump got in. I cried the day he won the election. no joke and my socially conscious friends around me did too. It was devastating. and i do feel for many of the american people.
@@Janewomanpower I had nightmares on election night 😪
@@Janewomanpower I was terrified. I continue to feel terrified as long as Trump is allowed to open his mouth and his cult followers continue to believe his lies.
As a Canadian, the thought of another Trump presidency is absolutely terrifying. His ignorance of important issues is not what's needed right now.

Indeed.
Truth.
Canada has its fair share of hatred, they just do it behind closed doors.
You're so right... Canadians have two pastimes. One of course is hockey,.. the other?... making fun of Americans.
YES... this is my favourite of Jeremy Hotz's comedy routines. Definitely one of the funniest Canadian comedians. I'm so excited to see your reaction to this video.
you couldn't have chosen a better Canadian comedian to react to sir ;). he is not wrong we Canadians are very good at nuanced anger.
🙋♀️ Canadian here. I say y'all all the time. But I say things from around the world 🤷. Bloody hell and brilliant from Britain. I answer my kids with Da instead of yes. When they were little I'd say don't touch in french. I say gesundheit instead of bless you. We have a very rotund vocabulary up here lol 😂
I'm not too fond of "y'all". Except when Dolly Parton says it because it suits her. Otherwise, it just sounds fake or dumb.
Depending on where you’re from in Canada but yeah
Hard to live in an urban centre in 🇨🇦 and not know a few words in 6-10 languages 😊.
Right on,I do as well..I even accentuate my English at times….like you a citizen of the world.Bravo fellow Canuck.

Please do more Canadian comedy, this was hilarious! Please make longer videos!! 😅
Yawl: two-masted sailboat, usually rigged with one or more jibsails, a mainsail, and a mizzen. In common with the ketch, the forward (main) mast is higher than the mizzenmast, but the mizzenmast of a yawl is placed astern of the rudder post, while that of the ketch is closer amidships.
As a proud Canadian, I love this comedian. HIlarious, and also loving your channel as well. :) Cheers Buddy!!
Thank you Tyler. Québécois here and I love to listen your videos.
I did stand-up comedy for many years and had the privilege to work with people like Jeremy Hotz among other Canadians. I used a different stage name and don't do it anymore . Jeremy is awesome and a super nice guy. I wish him all the best.
As always, you're great, Tyler!
The funniest thing I have ever read about Americans was a very good American friend of mine, telling me when Covid hit and Trump was in power, "Canadians must think they're living upstairs from a meth lab!" Absolutely broke me up!
This guy is absolutely hilarious. The way he uses his voice, movements & speaking under his breath are funny. Y’all sounds weird to most of us, yes to passive aggressiveness sometimes - and yes, to our self-depecrating HUMOUR (at times) More comedy!
Hey Tyler, you really should do a reaction video about the Acadian's. They are my ancestors and were some of the first inhabitants of North America
Jeremy Hotz is one of my favourite comedians! I am Canadian and so proud to be one! Thx Tyler.
@Click_Profile_for_.more__info. good here just donate it
I CANNOT COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE SEEN JEREMY OVER THE YEARS. THE LAST TIME WAS MARCH 2022 AND HE IS ALWAYS THE SAME FUNNY BUT GENUINELY NICE GUY BUT HE WOULD NOT ADMIT THAT. HE INTERACTS WITH HIS AUDIENCE AND STAYS AFTER FOR SOME PICS WITH HIS FANS. SHACKLETON IS ALWAYS THERE FOR THE MEET AND GREET AS WELL.
Miserable Jeremy Hotz is miserable about everything!
You name it - he's miserable about it.
We bask and revel in Jeremy's miserable misery to great delight.
He's great!
Jeremy sounds somewhere between constipated and passing a kidney stone.
I was there live around that time, may be a different stage not sure but it was part of the just for laughs festival. He came to kingston ontario. He is sooooo funny!!!!
If you liked this, you GOTTA react to some of Russell Peters' (also Canadian) earlier work, particularly when he talks about his family being immigrants to Canada.
Don't worry Tyler! Canadians (and Quebecers, these "Canadians" who don't consider themselves Canadian), LOOOVE Americans! They just like to pretend they don't. 😆
Oh, and yes: "Y'all" is NOT said in Canada! Never mind Québec, which speaks mostly French.
-From Montreal with love
That’s a little exaggerated, “LOOOVE Americans”….well, maybe some of them, some are, ahem, nut jobs who make our nut jobs look like amateurs!,😅. However we do share a beautiful continent!
Jeremy is absolutely right when he says the U.S. is horrible.
H E double hockey sticks NO!!
Americans are not loved or respected in Canada . Quebecers are often in that group as well
Maybe the most well known stand up comedian from Canada is Russell Peters. Jim Carrey started his career in stand up, but he hasn't done it since the early 90s. If you really want to see what Russell can do, his Comedy Now stand up is legendary. All of his classic bits are there and he's playing basically for a home audience. It's well worth your time.
The American animal is really fascinating. I'd say that we as French Canadians are tad closer in attitude and manners to Americans than the rest of Canada. We tend to be more crazy and uncivilized and yet still be friendly at the same time. It's an odd combination that we share with Americans.
Also yeah your guns scare me as you have more than half of all the firearms on the planet and seem to have a spree killing with them every week or so!😮
I have held a similar opinion for many years, but I hadn't got beyond the similarity. Thanks for your clarification.
Spree killing 😂? And many of us own a firearm because of that because there are psychos in this world nowadays as a Hispanic loving near in the west coast in my state we have a lot of firearms it not as much of the violence you see on tv or where your from it depends on the state and maybe big city.

Great analogy

Saw Jeremy last time he was in Ottawa. He was hilarious
I remember Jeremy Hotz from about 25 years ago at YukYuk's in London Ontario.... he 's still killing it! Yea Jeremy!
Jeremy's a favourite of mine.👍
As a UK follower, I do ofc love all the UK stuff you do - but I would LOVE seeing more Canadian content! 😁
Hey Tyler. It’s 1 moose - 2 (or more) moose. Like sheep. 😂😂
Actually, it's meese because moose rhymes goose and goose's plural is geese
Jeremy is my all time favorite comedian. Love him!
Passive aggressive sarcastic satire with strong flavourings of irreverence, double meanings and nuance. We poke fun at ourselves as much as we poke fun at others as well.
He is hilarious. I went to his show about 2 years ago and then he stayed to sign things, take pictures with anyone who wanted to. Super nice guy. He had his cute little dog with him. 😊
The comedian was making as many jokes about Canada as he was about the USA. Canadians don't take themselves too seriously. Check out comedian Rick Mercer talking to our prime ministers, Chrétien, Martin, & Harper.
Jeremy Hotz is Canadian Gold. Love this guy. He cracks me up. 😂
He forgot to mention another thing Canada is known for...... our Geese.
It's true, RUN OR THEY WILL GET YOU......
Comment by a Canadian herself = ME!!!
❤😂
This was good.
The comic is a satirist. Satire is Canadian humour. Satire doesn't play well in the US. He's actually making fun of Canadians and our prim sense of superiority.
He was a big inspiration to me as a kid the way he can go up drop a hilarious set all the while having a nervous tick
Not too upset ?--that means that You have the right to poke at us as well. Have a nice day.
I found this hilarious, it’s all in good fun from my perspective. I’m Canadian, I have no problems with Americans. My best friend is an American. We can joke about it. Funny vid though! Thanks!
This is great was hoping you would get to this
Havent seen this set in a long time. I must say though, there IS a Canadian Knife, and as an outdorrsman, I must say it is amazing. Grohmann knives on the east coast.
If you want something very positive that Canada and the US did together. Read about Sir William Stevenson and camp X and the impact they had on the war. Truly amazing collaboration.
Jeremy Hotz knows how to sell his comedy. He's very gifted in comedy, especially his stigmatism stories and his Magical Misery Tour.
I love Jeremy Hotz, he’s awesome 😂
never seen him before but actually laughed as a dual us/canadian citizen who has spent about equal time in both places. this is so spot on. and mostly true. haha (we cant give away all the secrets)
He's a funny dude, seen him many times.. It's all stereo-types and just funny.. Canadians and Americans are like brothers! Scrap a little but always stick up for each other!. Cheers (Sorry) lol
Jeremy is quite a unique comedian. His delivery is hilarious. Tyler hasn't known him long enough to realize laughing at himself is all a part of his schtick. He's really funny. One of my favourites. Really enjoyed this thanks Tyler!
I love how insulted you were Tyler… just laugh!
Hey, in his defense, when people poke fun at Canadian‘s, and go to too deep, I get a little offended too lol
You've done a Canuk comedian on America, next must come an Aussie comedian on America. It must be Jim Jeffries on Freedumb.
Jim Jeffries' gun control comedy segment is hysterically funny, and poignant.
Also there are other great Canadian Comics like Howie Mandel, Jim Carrey, Leslie Nielson and John Candy, both past & present, who have a remarkable way of being subtle & hilarious!!

Canadian here, I HATE “ya’ll” 😖 the worst is when I get emails from American customers and they put it in the email. It sounds low class to me when it’s used like that. Say it to a friend in a casual setting, not in an email.
Not a fan of y'all either.
It always makes wonder how many of me they're seeing when they say "y'all" to me. Should lay off the Canadian beer, maybe. Stick to their American liquor ...
It's just the way they talk. Y'all oughta relax, eh. 😅
@@williamdemerchant7295 We have a friend who was born in Canada. His parents spent time during his early childhood in Louisiana. The family returned to Canada before he reached his teens and has remained here since. This friend will often use y all and eh in the same sentence. It just seems so strange to the rest of us.
I hate when Americans try to insist that it's usage is completely normal.
Go to literally ANY other English speaking country in the entire world and use "Y'all" in a sentence.
See what kind of looks you get.
Him at laughing himself is part of his act. He does that in all of his shows.
Canada is just playing the long game .. one day pick a country and invade ... No one will expect it! 😂😂😂
When jokes go back and forth between the 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦 it's all in fun, we love our American neighbors.
I'd love to see you react to Jim Carrey - an un-natural act! He goes over many stereotype that people have of us Canadians, and it's hilarious and also very true 😂

Well, we are much more alike than we know… difference is we Canadians are more laidback and polite while Americans are more « in your face » but I think we have a loooooot more in common than it is said 😅
Americans talks a lot and are loud but Canadians are just differently wired so we act different but in the core, I don’t think we are that different 🙂
I think the climate has a lot to do with it. People from cold countries seem to be more confident of their ability to solve problems, because they've had a lot of practice. If you compare Canadians to the citizens of our mother countries, the UK and France, and our stepmother country, the US, Canadians are much less excitable. In the three other countries people are always thinking the sky is falling. But yes, we do have a lot in common with Americans, and many of us have relatives there, so we know they're OK, before they start joining groups, anyway.
Sorry, to me your comment ended at "Canadians are just differently wired". There's no 'but' after that. We kept WAY more European culture than Americans. They burned everything British after their rebellion and British loyalists fled to Canada, thus cementing our ties to European culture. We don't think like Americans, therefore, at the core we're different.
This is why I can't Americans not learning Canadian history as well as their own. They're so intertwined there wouldn't be one without the other. And in my books, that alone makes us different enough to not be compared.
@@PaulMartin-qu5up while I understand your point, I disagree greatly. You see, I am from the French East, you see where I am going? I am not just a «frog » like other provinces kindly treat us but I am also originated from the Innus, First Nations from Labrador. I know all about beeing taken advantage of and I am sorry to not be as sympathetic to the poor English settlers being robbed 🤣
I tried to be as Canadianly polite as possible writing these words because I got very very triggered by your comment. The executioner you were yesterday makes you the victim you are today and vice versa. No one is a pure sparkling star, we all did bad to other groups. So as a native medecine woman, I have these to say and it’s very simple.
There is an old and very wise Native American saying: Every time you point a finger in scorn-there are three remaining fingers pointing right back at you.
We are not better than others, we are very different and from your point of view, you think you’ve been victimized but you forget that you were the first executioner in the first place. If you are not better, be quiet. Pointing fingers never helped nobody and more so when you have been so… cruel to us native people in the first place. I am too triggered to say anything else.
I really thought that we as a whole, were past these nonsense bs. The world doesn’t evolve as fast as I though.
The audacity is rude and disrespectful to me and you just talked like the American you so don’t want to look like. The irony is cringe
@@KukumEesinekapo Lol Where did I say anything about being a victim. All I'm saying is that Canadians and Americans are fundamentally different. In how we speak, in how we think, how we treat each other, how we interact with the rest of the world, in our education, human rights (not perfect by any stretch, but better than our neighbours to the south)... the list is near endless.
No one is fundamentally better than anyone else. With that said, some make better choices and we (as a nation) have that in spades.

His whole comedic style is giggling to himself the entire time and for whatever reason it is consistently hilarious and 100% works for him 😂
This guy’s style is to be insulting. Most times he’s funny but sometimes his humour is a bit much. As for y’all, we were taught to say “you all” or it was considered incorrect grammar. Each country has their own unique words. Lol
