@@RC-nq7mg We know that and its still way better then anything we have. You also aren't accounting for drug prices just compare insulin prices in US and Canada.
He’s sooo careful. Whenever he even comes close to something that might possibly offend, he self-deprecates or affects that audience voice and calls himself a jerk. And then a few sentences later he’ll come back and say, “But I love [X country],” just so that everyone’s 100% reassured.
@Shinobi FPV and what would a Canadian award look like? A plate of poutine with a full set of tires, served by a moose attired as a mountie on ice skates? Damn, I wish I could win that.
I think you’re on to something! Showing it on incoming flights before you land would not only teach people some fun things about Canada, but also, help put them in a light-hearted mood before they arrive.
@Jimmy Peeps I'm sorry but all season tires are 3 season tires...night and day difference. It's your life to take in your own hands, just don't fucking hit me when you're sliding around "mostly controlling" your car.
@Jimmy Peeps yeah, I don't know where you live, but where I live that isn't even a possibility. You need studded winter tires or stopping is just not happening.
I'm Canadian, and all I can say about poutine is that it's DEATH ON A PLATE. I love your comedy, family friendly and still funny as hell, a rare talent ❤😂❤
My 85 yr old mom was diagnosed with dementias and Alzheimer's a couple yrs ago. She LOVES Jim. (It's a daily coin toss of Heartland, Match Game, Mrs. Brown's boys or Jim Gaffigan). She sleeps soundly while HL auto plays which is good because when Jim plays, she's mom again and she laughs her ass off. She's like "stop this for a minute and get me a tea while I go to the bathroom, he's so funny I might pee my pants" Then on the way to the bathroom she stops her walker and asks have you heard this guy before?" Yes mom, almost everyday. Thank God he's funny! ☺
Saw him live in Halifax, anyone who has the opportunity and loves comedy go see Jim. He is really funny, but seriously his live act is way better than watching any clips, he is a great live act
I just love Jim Gaffigan. He doesn’t rely on anything cheap, language or theme-wise - and there are no throwaway moments in his comedy. No holes. It’s just funny straight through. This is the kind of comedy we need when we are fighting so much apathy in the world these days. I just love this, and him!
The Tim hortons bit, is hilarious (as is this entire thing!), Burt especially when he says, “don’t force your culture on us!” Bit is incredible!...I appreciate all of the research that goes into this, as a Canadian, living in the us!😄...he is spot on with this special !
I'm an American living in Canada and this had me crying with laughter. I don't understand the clam juice thing either-gak! But poutine is the bomb, baby. Especially lobster poutine!
Lived here my whole life & yet _I_ don't get the clam juice thing!😂😂😂 However, steamer clams with melted butter.... _now_ yet talking _my_ language! 🤗🇨🇦
@@roncucchi3133 - Down here we say, "Yeah, by. I's hears yas there, eh?!" You see, I speak _fluent_ "Newfinese" (even while they're drunk). Went to Cuba once & played interperter between them & the upper Canadian's for a week. Came home & needed a vacation, myself 😂😂😂😂 🤗🇨🇦
Worcestershire sauce, contained in both Bloody Marys and Caesars is a fermented anchovy sauce. Mmm enyzme broken down aged fish. It's there to add Umami (savoury) flavour. I imagine the clam juice is there to make a more complex taste along the same lines. I can't say I've heard of someone hosting a party make Caesars from scratch with clam juice or making their own clam broth, rather than pre-mixed Clamato. I have heard of bloody marys from scratch.
In the UK we use cheese instead of cheese curds and we call it cheesy gravy chips. Some people do not like cheesy gravy chips, do not trust those people.
I am born and living in the US, just one skinny river away from Canada. So I grew up watching CTV and Canadian cartoons, when I tended bar I served Bloody Caesars and Rye Whisky, love hockey and Doug and the Slugs............. Oh my god! the realization is coming over me now, eh?
Did you watch Kids in the Hall? I've spoken with Americans from US. border towns. They seem to know a lot of Canadian shows. I used to date a guy from Buffalo. He said Buffalonians kind of had more in common with Canadians than many Americans. I was working in a shop when someone from the cast of Kids in the Hall came in. He was excited to hear, but I couldn't tell him who it was because I never watched the show. 😂
@@skatingcanuck9837 I am also from Buffalo, but besides Canadian cartoons, The National and Hockey Night in Canada, I stopped watching Canadian TV when we got cable in the states. Still, I would tune in at the end of the evening though to hear "Oh Canada" the national anthem every now and then.
@@charlie-obrien An American who chose to listen to the Canadian anthem? There are some Canadians who know the lyrics of the "Star Spangled Banner".

We have a Duff's location here in Toronto which I have been meaning to try.

I'm Canadian and I never had poutine till I was in my fifties. It was absolutely delicious, but I thought I better not eat this often. Later in life I had the opportunity to eat poutine in Quebec City. I couldn't miss out on that.
Tim Horton’s donated large containers of coffee to one of our local youth soccer associations for their tournament. It was my job to go pick them up. I had never tried their coffee before, but when I did it was fantastic, now I’m hooked.
Thank you for putting these on youtube. You have really helped me get through this wretched pandemic. I love your stuff on us, it is so hilarious ( Canadian here)
Actually, he's right on about planning activities for bad weather. When I lived in northern Canada we'd dig down about 6' into the snow, build a circle with a bench around the inside wall, build a fire, and enjoy a lunch out. I don't remember having 'snow' days even that dreadful year we had 49 below.
@5:13... Jim nails an impeccable French Canadian accent. Wow! Right out of the Gaspé Peninsula in the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of eastern Quebec.
Canadian Tire is actually appropriately named. It has a big automotive section and they're a mechanic. So what makes them unique is that you can bring your car in to be fixed, and then go and buy let's say, a blender, a new pillow, a lawn chair, a bag of chips and a house plant all while you're waiting until your car is ready to go. lol ♡
Having lived in remote northern communities in Canada due to my late husband's work as a provincial cop, we were thrilled when the town had a Canadian Tire! Pre internet, it was a remote persons shopping paradise, AND they could order you things like a vacuum that would arrive in 8weeks when a delivery truck cane through! Hence our brand loyalty!
As a Canadian ... high five. So funny. A gentle ribbing of our culture. Plus ... no swearing! I have become so tired of really funny comedians who feel that every element of the English language: noun, verb adjective, adverb ... everything except the definite and indefinite article can be substituted by the “f” word. Jim does not need to rely on using off colour language to be funny. And a funny take on Canada. He gets it!
Its called Canadian tire because the original guy bought a tire/rubber company in Hamilton the business was going under and he started selling other stuff too
After living in Canada for 11 years and now being back in Sweden i do miss having the occasional Poutine and chuckwagon fries. And i loved Timie's can someone get me a Xtra Large Double double
My aunt and my mother had a cafe in Castleford,Idaho who served french fries and if wanted would put brown gravy over the fries. This was in about 1954-55. It was a popular item and was ordered a lot.
OMFG - I had the Closed Captions turned on because I am watching this at work (as I forgot my earbuds at home), and the closed caption said @7:34 "...Calgary which has the finest CLANS.." (instead of "clams") After Alberta being compared to Texas, all I could think was "You're so right"
A couple of years ago I chatted with a Dunkin' senior manager in Florida. He said that down there they try to have one store for about every 45,000 people. He also said that where I live (metro Boston) it's more like one store for every 5,000 people.
You are more knowlegeable about Canada than most comedians and I appreciate the humour because your jokes are not all the traditional jokes about Canada. You are hilarious!
In Montréal, there's a restaurant called "La Banquise" who serves ONLY poutine. They have more than 20 varieties and are open 24/7. We also have a fast food CHAIN called "Poutinerie" that specializes in poutine.
I mademit point to go to La Banquise when I went to Montréal for Île Sonique some years ago. Got seated right away just before lunch, by the time we left the lineup was very long down the block. Fantastic poutine, one of those with a couple steamy's is perfection.
Jim Gaffigan really has Canadians figured out. I spent a couple of years there as an American. They liked to to complain about America to me. I sometimes thought, “Hey, I’m an American right here in front of you, and I’m not so bad, am I?” Then after complaining they would offer to give me a ride home and buy me coffee. I eventually figured out their bark was much worse than their bite. Most Canadians have a really good sense of humor, they are willing to laugh at themselves. I think it is a national strength for them.
Clam juice and Clamato juice are in every store in Maine! I use clam juice for my clam chowder it's sold in small glass bottles on the bottom shelf usually. Sometimes it's in the middle. We also have a dirty martini that is made with a Lobster Claw and clam juice.
This was hilarious. It’s so funny when someone from another country makes jokes about things we are so used to. Very rarely do I hear Canadian Tire jokes...but Jim..you got exactly what they are...well done!
Hate to break it to you Jim, but I remember Goodyear tire stores here in the states that used to sell appliances. One side of the "showroom" had tires, and the other side refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines. I only ever seem to remember Goodyear stores doing that. And I wouldn't be surprised if there are still places, especially in the South...in small towns, where tires and appliances, especially window A/C units, are sold side by side.
@@bigdaddycountry7 I have lived in the Northeast and in a few towns in the South. The area I live in now is served by a Co-op, but I don't remember any power company selling appliances. Western Auto stores used to sell tires and appliances, too, along with things like bicycles....at least that's how I remember them as a kid.
Poutine was created in Centre-du-Québec region simulteanously in two cities: Drummondville and Warwick. There's a debate as to where it was first created. The region has a lot dairy farms and a producer of cheddar cheese curds at the time. I knew the Drummondville guy who claimed invented it: Mr.Jean-Paul Roy owner of the Roy Jucep restaurant. He used to play gold with my granddad. He told me people would eat cheese curds right next to a "frite sauce" ( french frie with gravy sauce), some clients would mix the two together. They started asking the restaurant to premix everything and sell it. If I remember it well, they called the cook "Ti-Pout" and that's where the name came from.
Sadly, to this day there is a raging war between those two cities where dozens of people die every year fighting over who invented poutine first. They hold a memorial after Thanksgiving...
Hahahaha right! That’s what I was thinking. I’m from Bellingham Massachusetts and from Woonsocket to Bellingham just on social street alone there’s about four Dunkin stores

In Montréal, there's a restaurant called "La Banquise" who serves ONLY poutine. They have more than 20 varieties and are open 24/7.
We also have a fast food CHAIN called "Poutinerie" that specializes in poutine.
What about Ashton?
@@EricChoiniere J'adore Ashton. A chaque fois que je passe par Québec, je m'y arrête.
@@simonrancourt7834 En 6e année, le voyage de fin d'année scolaire était à Québec. Mes amis ont vu Mario Dumont à un Ashton
I mademit point to go to La Banquise when I went to Montréal for Île Sonique some years ago. Got seated right away just before lunch, by the time we left the lineup was very long down the block. Fantastic poutine, one of those with a couple steamy's is perfection.
Waited in line at La Banquise for probably 30 minutes. It was worth it. Spectacular Poutine. My GF was previously anti poutine. That changed her.
Great stuff! Some of the best Canada jokes.
This comic is always on the nose for every area he does a gig. 😁
Thanks for making me Laugh again Gaffigan !!
Fries with beef gravy are a staple in England although they usually dip em. Milk curds mixed in definitely a Canadian twist.
This one brought laughter tears to my eyes! Well done, Jim!
Jim Gaffigan really has Canadians figured out. I spent a couple of years there as an American. They liked to to complain about America to me. I sometimes thought, “Hey, I’m an American right here in front of you, and I’m not so bad, am I?” Then after complaining they would offer to give me a ride home and buy me coffee. I eventually figured out their bark was much worse than their bite. Most Canadians have a really good sense of humor, they are willing to laugh at themselves. I think it is a national strength for them.
if you go to waterloo, there is a tiny model village for driver training or something, and it has a model tim hortons...
Does Napoleon work the Drive Through?
You the best Jimmy. Much love from the Okanagan valley :) 🚣♀️🍑🍎🍷🏖🏞⛰🏔🗻
I think it's a RIOT how when Jim is describing something, he morphs into a Mafia Boss!!!!
0:56 The way you say it makes it sound a lot like John Goodman lol
Do a gardening series. Would love to hear some tips.
"Let's get Gardening!!"
I seriously second that idea 👌
3rd it 😆 it'd be hi.larry.us.👏
4th it. Crack that whip(per snipper)
Clam juice and Clamato juice are in every store in Maine! I use clam juice for my clam chowder it's sold in small glass bottles on the bottom shelf usually. Sometimes it's in the middle. We also have a dirty martini that is made with a Lobster Claw and clam juice.
Seeing as Motts Clamato is made in the US, have to admit that I’m surprised it isn’t more readily available
Sooooooo funny! We Canadians love to laugh at ourselves.
This was hilarious. It’s so funny when someone from another country makes jokes about things we are so used to. Very rarely do I hear Canadian Tire jokes...but Jim..you got exactly what they are...well done!
Sir you are an absolute delight to listen too,funny as heck
Hate to break it to you Jim, but I remember Goodyear tire stores here in the states that used to sell appliances. One side of the "showroom" had tires, and the other side refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines. I only ever seem to remember Goodyear stores doing that. And I wouldn't be surprised if there are still places, especially in the South...in small towns, where tires and appliances, especially window A/C units, are sold side by side.
Back home the power company sold appliances where you went to pay the bill
@@bigdaddycountry7
I have lived in the Northeast and in a few towns in the South. The area I live in now is served by a Co-op, but I don't remember any power company selling appliances.
Western Auto stores used to sell tires and appliances, too, along with things like bicycles....at least that's how I remember them as a kid.
@@howardkerr8174 Alabama Power does, or at least they did. I moved 3 yrs ago. Mostly big appliances
Jim Gaffigan is genius and joy!
Poutine was created in Centre-du-Québec region simulteanously in two cities: Drummondville and Warwick. There's a debate as to where it was first created. The region has a lot dairy farms and a producer of cheddar cheese curds at the time. I knew the Drummondville guy who claimed invented it: Mr.Jean-Paul Roy owner of the Roy Jucep restaurant. He used to play gold with my granddad. He told me people would eat cheese curds right next to a "frite sauce" ( french frie with gravy sauce), some clients would mix the two together. They started asking the restaurant to premix everything and sell it. If I remember it well, they called the cook "Ti-Pout" and that's where the name came from.
Non c’est moi qui l’a inventé
Sadly, to this day there is a raging war between those two cities where dozens of people die every year fighting over who invented poutine first. They hold a memorial after Thanksgiving...
I’m in stitches here... 🤣😂
"In America, we don't have Dunkin Donuts on every block." Clearly, you have not been to Rhode Island.
Hahahaha right! That’s what I was thinking. I’m from Bellingham Massachusetts and from Woonsocket to Bellingham just on social street alone there’s about four Dunkin stores
Or to Logan Airport.
Or CT...
Or Massachusetts! Clearly!
maine too the Dunkins ran all the Tim Hortons back to Canada 🇨🇦
