Just to let everyone know, Al did not produce or have any thing to do with the video playing along to the song, a Canadian thought the song needed a video and he made this. I'm sorry I've forgotten his name...but kudo's for doing that! The opening scene from Strange Brew when the lion is really laid back and won't roar, Bob says "Stick a pin in his bum"! Absolutely classic!
There's a great "tour vlog" where he tries to talk to the locals as he would south of the border, no one understood him, so he tries in a Canadian accent with greater success.
Just so you know, this is not the official video for this song. There is no official video. I made this back in 2006 and as of 5/10/2022, it has just under 10,000,000 views! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/C_TfBbR6L0M/v-deo.html
In shuffleboard, however, you're not allowed to alter the board just to get your chip or puck or whatever they call it to go a little farther. I can just see the old folks in the retirement village getting down on their hands and knees to wax and polish the board in front of their advancing tokens; but no, that is not how the game is played.
Max Von Sydow was awesome in Strange Brew. His line that always got a chuckle was, "But of course that is not true. I'm just an employee." The way he delivered that line always cracked me up.
Canadians, per capita, I argue as a southwestern USian, (Californian, New Mexican and Texan) FREAKING ROCK! RUSH. TRIUMPH. HEART. BRYAN ADAMS. APRIL WINE. THE BAND. THE GUESS WHO. JONI MITCHELL. BACHMAN TURNER OVERDRIVE. NEIL YOUNG. CELINE DION. SHANIA TWAIN. LEONARD COHEN and many many more. Whatever youse dudes and dudettes are doing up their KEEP IT UP. We adore you.
Whoa there cowboy! Although Heart spent some time in Canada as a young band signed with Canadian label Mushroom Records and recorded at Mushroom Studios, they are from Seattle/Bellevue WA. Canada cannot take credit for that one! 😉
@@gregchambers6100 The Wilson family moved to Bellevue, WA when the girls were young. Band from Seattle area. All members of original band lived in Seattle area . Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen, Mike Derosier, Howard Leese(also has a home in California) still live in the Puget Sound area. Ann moved to Florida from her long-time residence in Seattle in 2019.
Don’t forget the Trailer Park Boys. Not a musical group, but they do have a Rush connection. Ricky kidnapped Alex Lifeson, called him a drunk male prostitute, and Alex had the nerve to not pay for the “herb” that he smoked.
I seem to remember that all the Canadian characters in that movie were played by American actors, and all the American characters were played by Canadian actors
Americans know liters because sodas are sold in 2 liter bottles which is the standard for larger than single serving. Occasionally we have one liter options but are more likely to get 12 or 16 ounce servings.
In Canada, the metric/imperial dividing line is roughly under/over 50 years of age, as the conversion of metric was made primarily in the mid- to.late-1970s. Therefore, Canadians who learned measurements in school before the conversion understand miles, ounces, feet, inches etc., understand such terms as well as Americans, but those who learned measurements in school after 1980 are fully immersed into metric.
Lol, that was good! I'll have you know this American LOVES curling! I had to stay in the hospital 5 days to get my gallbladder removed during the last winter Olympics. It was a brand new hospital with 75 inch t.v.'s! Best part, well only good part, was watching curling on that big ass t.v! 🤣 It was great. 🥌🥌🥌 ♡♡♡
Rick Moranis was recently attacked in NYC. I thought at first wierd Al ripped off strangebrew opening, did not realize he was just playing the movie. LOL
Kraft original with the powder cheese... LOVE IT!!! You don't have to be canadian to love that :) oh man, Uncle Buck is one of my all time favorite comedies EVER!
If you like Weird Al, I recommend you check out Bob Rivers or Ray Stevens. They both do "comedy" music. Bob Rivers does short spoofs of popular songs and Ray Stevens gave us "The Streak".
Great Outdoors is a highly underrated movie. My favorite part is is when John Candy shoots the bear with a lampshade gun. My wife and I crack up everytime we see it. In fact we rewind it over and over just to see that part.
Actually, it's the lodge owner who shoots the bear in Great Outdoors. Candy had been running away from the bear and the bear chased him into the house.
Used to be the only way to hear Weird Al in Toronto was to listen to F.M. radio, late Sunday night. Probably CFNY. When they gave up for a while, and programmed Dr. Demento.
If you can, find a copy of 'Alpocalypse' on DVD. The concert they filmed was in Toronto and he performs Canadian Idiot. The song has a great finale when the bomb blows and streamers are shot out into the audience.
If there is one thing I learned from a Finnish sketch comedy show parody of a quiz show, is that for any question, the correct answer is always "Canada".
Americans know litres because we all buy two-litre bottles of pop when we're having a pizza party or carry-in or game night or whatever. We don't buy gas or milk in litres (those are both sold in gallons), but we know roughly how much a litre is. (Basically, it's a quart, but slightly off because France didn't want any of its measurements to exactly match England's ones, so it had to be just a little bit different; and then a generation later they went and started trying to convince everyone, including England, to switch over so their measurements could all be the same after all. France is a very silly place.)
Wow! I was one of the two people to suggest this and I am just now seeing it... 5 months after you downloaded it. Sorry I have been away so long from your channel.
And to think, The Great White North sketch was created just because the CRTC told SCTV they needed more Canadian content. What do you know? Somehow that did it and for some reason, it was a hit, both in Canada and abroad.
God, this reminds me of the VERY old music video I made of this song using clips from the Canada episode of Angry Beavers back in the mid-2000s. XD Nostalgia.
This begs the question - what do guys of your generation think of the old SCTV generated characters, 'Bob & Doug McKenzie'? They were huge in the early 80s, & some of the clips in this video are from their film, 'Strange Brew'. Yeah - Rick Moranis & Dave Thomas were the creators, actors, & writers of the characters. Also, other Canadian content I'm overly familiar here in the middle of the US comes courtesy of the Red/Green Show. Is that a big deal to this day?
Red Green is the name of the main character, so there is no slash in the name of the show. Trivia points: - The main writers were Steve Smith and Rick Green, who performed Red Green and Bill Smith respectively. - For the last few seasons, the interiors were shot at the CBC Broadcast Centre in downtown Toronto, about as far as you can get from rural Ontario. - Ranger Gord, whose surname was actually Ranger, appeared in two fire towers. The first was the tree house Steve Smith built for his kids in his back yard in Hamilton. The second was a disused fire watch tower near Perry Sound, that they got permission to use from the MNR.
"Time for a pre-emptive strike" Is that saying he wants to blow up Canada? Also, he forgot to mention that they end every sentence with "Eh?". (I guess, since you only did that once, that's why he didn't joke about that.) And if he made this song now, he would have to mention Justin Bieber.
I love the great outdoors and coneheads god Dan Akroyd and what a shame we lost John Candy one of my favorite actors, and come on you can't mention Rick Moranis and John Candy without talking about Spaceballs
Hi guys, got into your videos last year at the time my partner became pregnant it's our first child watching your videos with a protein shake or two. Also a massive craving for junk food I was gaining lots more weights and she was my mum said 1 time are you expecting? Embarrassment turned to competitiveness my partner suggested we weigh in together every week of the pregnancy. All 40 weeks I gained more than she did our son was born I had gained a whopping 140lbs. I still enjoy your videos without the protein shakes just a massively increased waistline ha ha
Weird Al has another gem! 🇨🇦 He is not sorry for this parody! L🤣L I hope Weird Al writes parodies of Canadian singers. I cannot think of many. Weird Al has a canoe load of songs to use! L🤣L 🇨🇦
you kinda just proved his point that you're too polite and naive. He said he wanted to blow you up and you're completely fine with it. is canada okay? i mean, yall have mass graves that you thought you could hide and you didn't get a simple weird al song? you thought he complimented the accents. that's not what he said at all. he said YOU think your accent is so cute, not him.
Just to let everyone know, Al did not produce or have any thing to do with the video playing along to the song, a Canadian thought the song needed a video and he made this. I'm sorry I've forgotten his name...but kudo's for doing that! The opening scene from Strange Brew when the lion is really laid back and won't roar, Bob says "Stick a pin in his bum"!

Once dated a Canadian gal, and she was a fan of Weird Al. She thought this song was hilarious, and confirms that some of what's said is true.
Just so you know, this is not the official video for this song. There is no official video. I made this back in 2006 and as of 5/10/2022, it has just under 10,000,000 views! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/C_TfBbR6L0M/v-deo.html
Sept. 25th is Weird Al Day here in Tulsa, OK. It's where he filmed much of UHF.
Hold on a minute, isn't curling just man-sized shuffle board?
It takes stones to curl...
Have you ever heard the song, "Curl" by Jonathan Coulton? The video by someone named sinara is the best version.
It's like shuffle board on ice.
In shuffleboard, however, you're not allowed to alter the board just to get your chip or puck or whatever they call it to go a little farther. I can just see the old folks in the retirement village getting down on their hands and knees to wax and polish the board in front of their advancing tokens; but no, that is not how the game is played.
So far I’ve seen exactly three movies with Rick Moranis in them: _Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II,_ and _Spaceballs._
Max Von Sydow was awesome in Strange Brew. His line that always got a chuckle was, "But of course that is not true. I'm just an employee."
The way he delivered that line always cracked me up.

Canadian Bacon with John Candy was hilarious.
Omg! I LOVE that movie! 😂
I seem to remember that all the Canadian characters in that movie were played by American actors, and all the American characters were played by Canadian actors
Idiots or not, it makes me sad I'm not Canadian.
The weirdest thing about that movie is that the director, writer, & producer was Michael Moore.
@@KelsaRavenlock I did not know that and wouldn't have guessed.
As a Canadian... I am not offended or opposed to this song. Weird Al is just being himself. He makes his living on parodies. Al Rocks .

Well we still spell it differently... we write "litre" ;)
Dan Akroyd steals the show at the end of Gross Point Blank. The last actor I would expect to play a hitman but he pulled it off.
The Great Outdoors was great movie (RIP John Candy).
One of the best! 👍
Canada sure does have alot of talent ! Great reaction guys... Canada Rocks!!!!!!
“Tell me what kind of freaks are that polite?” 😊😂❤🇨🇦

It's actually is a fun sport. I remember we took up curling for a couple weeks in highschool, and we had a lot of fun.
@@Nikki7B Good practice for sweeping.
Rick Moranis was recently attacked in NYC. I thought at first wierd Al ripped off strangebrew opening, did not realize he was just playing the movie. LOL
Yeah I heard about that -Adam
I had never seen the video, and instantly recognized the MGM logo from Strange Brew. I facking LOVE that movie!
We actually do use liters for water and soda bottles. It's one of the very few metric measurements that are actually common here in the U.S.
The most common being millimeters, usually sold in brass increments of 9, 10, and 5.56 hahaha
Everything I know about Canada I learned from 3 sources, "Strange Brew", The Trailer Park Boys, and, Letterkenny.
Kraft original with the powder cheese... LOVE IT!!! You don't have to be canadian to love that :) oh man, Uncle Buck is one of my all time favorite comedies EVER!
@A S All the fanciest Dijon ketchups!
Coneheads was a great movie, I watch it every time it's on TV.
If you like Weird Al, I recommend you check out Bob Rivers or Ray Stevens. They both do "comedy" music. Bob Rivers does short spoofs of popular songs and Ray Stevens gave us "The Streak".
Two of Dan Aykroyd's best performances, were both dramas: (1) The Arrow (about the Avro Arrow), and (2) Driving Miss Daisy.
ever see My Girl?
LOVE WEIRD AL. He has some great originals too... not all polka either :P Great reaction neighbors.
Remember Dave Thomas, too!

Oh Yeah, Coneheads was awesome, love it.
"Hey hoser, this chocolate milk's four month's old"
Most of that video was clips from Strange Brew.. which is an excellent SCTV movie.
Rick Moranis was in the news in New York recently. Someone walked up to him on the street and punched him in the face. Totally random.
Why him? Weird.
If there is one thing I learned from a Finnish sketch comedy show parody of a quiz show, is that for any question, the correct answer is always "Canada".
Weird Al: *sings about Canada*

Thank YOU for having a sense of humor. There are too few of us in the world today!
“Total waste of ordinance” 😂🖤
And they are not even insulted by the song because alot of the stuff is true
