Although he was mentioned during the Wolverine section, I'm surprised Deadpool isn't actually on the list. As he says in the movie “I'm Wade Wilson from Regina, Saskatchewan. Regina, the town that rhymes with fun.”
My son and colleagues went on a work holiday to Seattle and when people asked where they were from, they said they were from Regina, Deadpool's home town. Then they had to pull up Google maps to prove that Regina was a real place, not fictional.
Most famous Red Green quote: "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!" Always said at the end of a skit where he builds some ridiculous contraption from a bunch of garbage. Like turning your car into a bbq/smokehouse combo so by the time you get where you're going, you got some meat to eat. Always held together by 50 rolls of "the handyman's secret weapon: duct tape"
I still remember once he was singing by the campfire with Herold and I might be off on the lyrics. " A horse with a horn is a unicorn " " A horse with a man is a centaur " " A horse with wings is a Pegasus " " And a horse with a broken leg is glue "
The Green Gables house in PEI is not a replica. It's the actual house the author grew up in and the novel was based on the house and the surrounding area.
Actually the house the author grew up in is near this one, and no longer exists. You can visit it but it is just a hole in the ground now. This one was the neighbour's house.
@Ljbmd yes, her house is only the foundation. The "Green Gables" house at the heritage site was her uncle's home and the inspiration for Green Gables in the novel. I love that the gift shop/book store is still run by LMM's descendants. The list office where she worked (and wrote the novel) is there too. I also live near the filming location at Westfield Heritage Village (the train station, church, the kitchen at the beginning - maybe others I'm forgetting)
I was thinking the same thing, but I think the character was first in an American film. But Tyler should definitely check out some of the episode descriptions.
Wolverine was part of the Weapon X program, which was based in Canada. Other notable people in that program: Deadpool, Sabretooth, X-23, and a bunch of others only comic fans would know.
Ya know I never thought about it till now.. but there's a lot of them super healer mutants coming from Canada 🤔 is that a nod to the Canadian ruggedness perhaps?
@@apparentlynot1stLeonchubbs Nah.... they studied gene sequences in their experiments and there were some common traits that were seen as favorable. I'm fairly certain a bunch of those mutants owe their regenerative ability to the progam's having Logan's blood to play around with. Like how they created X-23 in the Logan movie. There were mutants in the Weapon X progam, like Maverick who is an Energy Absorber, that did not have the Healing Factor. Also, to be noted, the Weapon X program housed more than just Canadian mutants. Omega Red was from Russia. Fantomex is french I believe. They just operated out of Canada.
@@KeithDCanada Fantomex was born and raised in “the World” in England, but he experienced a fictional “France” when growing up which is why he identifies as French.
I enjoyed the episode where they had to drive a felon (perjury not dangerous) back to Canada. They end up getting a ride with some Canadians. And the driver is like, don’t worry I know just what to do. And tells the boarder guy, nothing to declare. And drives off while Frasier sputters because they very much have something to declare!
As a Canadian, it really irks me when the rest of the world stereotypically says " a boot" for about. This is almost mythical. There is a very small percentage of the Canadian population that say it like that. Now where did I put my maple syrup! 🤔
i agree to an extent... There have been a couple of times in my 30 year life where i have been told by people that i did say aboot instead of about. I think its one of those things that if you do say it by accident, you dont notice, because i never did and then i would repeat it as about and be told thats not what i said.
I hope The Littlest Hobo is in this list. If he's not then he should be. There's a place, that keeps on calling me...down the road - that's where I want to be!
Tyler around Christmas time you should really react to Bob and Dough MacKenzie's 12 days of Christmas. It's well known to every Canadian and absolutely hilarious from beginning to end.
What about Corner Gas? Yeah, Letterkenny is hugely popular in the US. I'm also surprised it's not on the list. I see other RUclipsrs often making references to it. It does have a lot of slang so it can be more difficult to understand. It's basically adults having conflicts between cliques that existed in highschool, like goths, jocks, hicks... I think Tyler would think The Red Green Show is funny. I see reruns and still admire how good the show was.
Robin Sparkles is largely based on Alanis Morissette, who, before her Jagged Little Pill transformation sang VERY 1980s style music (such as Too Hot, which was a somewhat big song) during the 1990s, and was apparently not known outside of Canada.
@@19freddy73 Which Ryan Reynolds (her ex-fiance) names as his favourite Canadian TV show in an interview he did on CBC (subject was 10 questions for Ryan Reynolds about Canada)
Yea, Wolverine mentions he's Canadian in his first on screen appearance. The guy who plays Red Green used to be on a comedy show called Smith and Smith prior to.
Red Green was a recurring segment of Smith and Smith ,also hilarious. Then created his own show and was on for several years. He even signed a contract with the Duct Tape manufacturer to use his image on their packaging.
Constable Benton Fraser, from the TV show "Due South." It just recently hit Netflix and is well worth the watch. It's a comedy drama about a Mountie who follows the murderer of his father to Chicago then gets a position at the Canadian Consulate. and helps the Chicago Police solve cases. It's a show set in the United States that plays on all the stereotypes that Americans have of Canadians, shot in Toronto, standing in for Chicago, starring mostly recognizable Canadian actors and made by a lot of Canadians.
I’m almost ready to call Tyler an honorary Canadian…. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦(he still needs to visit and experience Canadian culture first). Thoroughly enjoy his reactions to our culture and smile every time he ‘kinda feels uncomfortable’ when Canadians are insulted 😂😂…… atta’ boy Tyler 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Trailer Park Boys, yes filmed in my city of Halifax and the actor playing Bubbles does love cats in real life. He actually was a client of the Veterinary hospital I worked at, he would bring his cat Spock in annually for his shots etc.. he named him Spock because on one of his front paws his cat had a deformity with it's toes, he had 4 toes but 2 each of the toes were fused together and it looked like that gesture Spock would do with his hand saying Live long and prosper!
Had a cat like that many years ago. His name was Lucky. He was a stray who wandered into my yard one day and never left. I had to get his front feet declawed because he wasn’t able to retract them. He could still catch mice as good as any other cat though. I miss him a lot.
The house came before the novel as the setting of the novel was the house and surrounding area, the book becoming famous made the house an icon and a treasure hence the tourism
@@chainsawlady Hettie King was one of many characters in Road to Avonlea, set in the same town as Anne of Green Gables after Anne has grown up and moved away. Road to Avonlea actually had a longer run than Anne of Green Gables, with several seasons.
Bob & Doug were part of the "Second City TV" troupe. There were two Second City locations (Toronto & Chicago). The Toronto group created the TV Show. Many of the Toronto members became famous (Canadian spelling). They contributed largely to the success of Saturday Night Live. John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Martin Short, .... the list goes on
Brendon Fraser (the MUMMY films) is from BC CANADA. When SNL was launched, where half were Canadian comics. 22+ of Netflix, various TV or FILM productions are ongoing in BC alone. Every prime time evening has at least a few Canadian actors in leading roles. The Rookie, FBI, the Good Doctor, etc.
Sorry, try again. When SNL was launched, ONE was a Canadian comic. You may be confusing them with SCTV, a Canadian show, which was initially comprised of Second City actors, just as SNL's original cast are all Second City alumni. But if you check the cast, Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner are ALL American. Dan Aykroyd was the only cast member who was actually Canadian. Also, bear in mind that there were MULTIPLE Second City locations. Chicago was the original, and the one from which Lorne Michaels drew most of his cast for SNL, while SCTV mainly consists of Second City Toronto members. Rick Moranis was an initially controversial decision to join the cast of SCTV, primarily due to him not "paying his dues" by going through the Second City stage first, but when everybody saw his acting, all doubts were quashed.
FBI is filmed in Toronto as I think Transplant is. Good Doctor is filmed in Surrey (Vancouver suburb). The shows A Million Little Things and Family Law are , I believe also filmed in Vancouver
Supernatural, the first several seasons of the X-Files, Stargate SG-1 (Not sure about Atlantis), Criminal Minds, The Flash, Once Upon a Time, House... That's just TV stuff, before even considering a couple of Marvel movies, the Deadpool movies.
@@Luca-vq8uo Every Arrowverse show was filmed in Vancouver. You mentioned Flash, but that also includes Arrow, Supergirl, Legends Of Tomorrow, and Batwoman.
@@alanlafond9705 If we attempted to list every single thing that's been filmed in Vancouver we'd be here for days. But I will admit, I forgot it was the Arrowverse, specifically. These were just off the top of my head.
The Anne of Green Gables novel is required reading in Japan. Anne is a highly revered heroine over there. When I was a kid on vacation in PEI with my family, we visited the Anne of Green Gables home the day the Japanese princess was there. She said that Japanese girls look up to Anne as their hero.
I did not know that!! This is awesome, i love this so much. I grew up in Nova Scotia, which is the closest provence to PEI. I grew up on all things Anne, books, cartoons, Tv shows, movies, and after looking up her connection to Japan i realize i have seen the anime as well.
One more that is not on the list is Winnie the Pooh, sort of. A.A. Milne wrote the Winnie the Pooh stories for his son Christoper based on his teddy bear Winnie. Christopher got the name for his bear from a real bear in the London zoo named Winnipeg, or Winnie for short. Winnipeg was a mascot for the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps when they went over from Canada to fight in WW I. They left the bear there after the war and he lived in London Zoo until he died. So, basically, Winnie the Pooh is based on the real bear Winnipeg from Canada.
Re: Bob & Doug McKenzie - they were originally conceived by accident. SCTV, a Canadian TV series, was produced for private television, but was picked up by the CBC (government-run television network). The CBC runs 2 minutes FEWER commercials per hour, so the series producers were asked to insert 2 extra minutes of new content per episode and..... since they were the stewards of Canadian television, they demanded that the 2 extra minutes be "Canadian Content". The SCTV crew thought this was ridiculous, so they came up with Bob & Doug as a bird-flip to the CBC for their ridiculous "Canadian Content" requirement. To their sheer astonishment, the Bob & Doug segments (originally "Kanadian Korner", later "The Great White North") proved to be the most popular part of the show. The show also ran briefly on NBC in the early 1980s. It also starred John Candy, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Catherine O'Hara, and Andrea Martin. The segment was so popular that it spawned a hit movie called "Strange Brew" (I highly recommend) as well as two hit music singles: "Take Off" (featuring Geddy Lee of Rush), and "Twelve Days Of Christmas" (".....and a beer.... in a tree!"). All are hysterical and all are available on RUclips.
The reason why they thought the Canadian content was ridiculous was because literally every aspect of SCTV was Canadian. It was written, produced, directed and performed by Canadians
Bob & Doug almost single-handedly popularized the stereotypes of Canadians wearing plaid jackets, saying ‘eh’ & ‘hoser’ and generally really leaned into a pile of Canadian stereotypes. Hilarious self-deprecating humour.
The band Rush had a song "Take Off" that was about Bob and Doug Mckenzie. The brothers had a part in the song, it was funny and popular at least up here lol
I definitely think Deadpool (Wade Wilson) should have been on the list, the character is Canadian and we all know the actor Ryan Reynolds is Canadian. The double hit should have given him a spot rather than just an honorable mention. I also think Don Harron's "Charlie Farquharson" should have been on the list as well. Even Americans (of my generation and older) remember him from Hee Haw.
When I was watching "The Boys" I kept thinking the setting sure seemed Canadian for being the US. Then I saw the CN Rail logo on a truck and laughed. Canada and the US are really similar for the most part, pretty interchangeable for filming locations.
So many TV shows and movies are done in Canada now. BC is really popular, I've seen the same cabin by a lake many times lol. X-Men, Supernatural, Resident Alien, etc
Most people would be surprised at how many "Hollywood" shows are filmed north of the border with Canadian crews and Canadian extras. Most provinces offer huge financial incentives to entice American productions north.
@@kevinw2592 Hatley Castle in BC. I've been there. Covered in peacocks. Well, some shots are from that location, not all of them. They used some of the outside in the movie, but I don't think the interior. (I could be wrong)
SCTV was produced by SNL producer Canadian Lorne Michaels. The How I Met Your mother charrecter Robin Sparkles was based on Alanis Morrisette from when she was just know as Alanis an a pop singer in the late 80s early 90s before becoming an alternarive musician. (Garberator is Canadian for garbage disposal machine)
Dudley Do Right was a popular cartoon in the 60's. It was made in the States and was a spin-off of the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show featuring a wise-cracking squirrel and his sidekick Moose. Anne of Green Gables is a big deal in Canada and, apparently, Japan as well. I don't think it ever became very popular in the US though, because it's basically a Canadian version of Little House on the Prairie. I've been to Nova Scotia and the Trailer Park Boys are a pretty realistic representation of many people in the Maritimes. The show is popular throughout the southern states and the Midwest because the characters are similar to many of the trailer park folks there too. Bob & Doug McKenzie and SCTV were popular in the late 70's/early 80's. Fun fact: I taught Rick Moranis's niece at Queen's University in 2006. Ironically, Wolverine, supposedly a Canadian, is played by an Australian, Hugh Jackman. Again, you seem to think that Canada is such a vastly different, very "foreign" place from the US. If you actually visited here, I think you'd be shocked to find out how similar the people are in the two countries. Also, as little as most Americans know about Canada, conversely, Canadians know as much, if not more, about the US as mist Americans do. We get all the same movies and TV shows as you do.
On the tv show SCTV, The Great White North was just one regular segment. It became so popular that a Christmas record and a movie, Strange Brew were made. Every year at Christmas you can hear their version of The 12 Days of Christmas. Priceless goofiness🎼🎶. “On the the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me…a beer.”
I think we need one for Canadian actors and actresses, and then filmed in Canada. A whole bunch more than some people think. Canada is also very popular for filming because it is much cheaper and has a lot of the desired landscaped and architecture widely available.
A better Canadian series than some of those listed is called Due South and is an RCMP movie that has a good share of Canadian humour. I don't know if it is still showing anywhere though.
There was a pretty good sitcom with Phil Hartman, Joe Rogan, Andy Dick called Newsradio- and the boss in the show was played by Dave Foley (former Kids in the Hall member- a canadian sketch comedy show) and one episode dealt with him finally having to admit to his gf that he was in fact a Canadian. good show with a great cast.
Tyler, you must check out some of Rick Mercer’s ‘Asking Americans’. Hysterical series where they crossed the border to find out what people knew about Canada. They played politicians, university students, business people. No one noticed they were being played. Pretty funny.
SCTV was really popular. It was definitely known in the States when it came out. The cast is a whose who of comedy: John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Rick Moranis.
Lucy Maude Montgomery wrote many novels about Anne of Green Gables. She would write 19 books in total. Green Gables is the actual home of Lucy Maude Montgomery that was restored. You should look into the Japanese obsession with Anne. Second Cup is a Canadian coffee chain.
Don't forget to add to your list one very funny man, MIke Myers. If there's one thing we Canadians like to do, it's to make fun of ourselves. Hugh Jackman by the way is Australian, wow did he do an excellent job as Wolverine.
I’d say an honourable mention for Commander Shepard (Earthborn). Although not directly mentioned in game, the Earth Alliance Defence council is in Vancouver BC, BioWare as a company is Canadian, as well as the two voice actors who voice Male & Female Shepard.
1:12 As a note, 50% of our media in Canada has to be created in Canada. So yes there's a lot of stuff in Canada, by Canada, for Canada. 👀 3:52 Let's not forget that you guys have Mr Magoo, so Dudley Do-right is perfectly fine. 😂 5:14 There's also a Japanese anime based on Anne of Green Gables as well. 17:05 There are several coffee places around Canada besides Tim Hortons, and Starbucks. Second cup is only one of those other brands of coffee house chains. 👍 22:33 Wolverine is from Alberta.
@@TylerBucketRUclips THANKS Tyler! I think your kindness towards Canadians make you an “Honorary Canadian”! Truly, you bring smiles to so many each and every day! I hope you will be able to visit soon, as you will be received with a massive “welcome” from coast to coast! I wish you, your brother, and family a joyful MERRY CHRISTMAS!!🎄🇨🇦🎄🇺🇸🎄
FYI, Anne of Green Gables has been translated into at least 36 languages and has sold more than 50 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books worldwide.
I'm surprised that Dean and Terry from the movie FUBAR wasn't on this list, they're hilarious. Also, the movie "Death Hunt" with Charles Bronson, the story was loosely based on the actual events of the fugitive Albert Johnson aka. "The Mad Trapper" "The day after Christmas in 1931, a constable with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police went to check on a man named Albert Johnson on suspicion that he was trapping without a license. The confrontation that followed would leave a fiery standoff, an epic manhunt, and an enduring mystery.
Trailer Park Boys is a wonderful show. It's gut-busting hilarious and at the heart of it all - the show is about family, friends, and community. The first few seasons especially are some of the best tv to come out of Canada and well worth a watch. Also, the X mansion in the films is actually Hatley castle in Victoria, BC. I have family who live in Victoria and have visited it many times.
At least in the first x-men film, maybe the second as well, the mansion is absolutely the Parkwood estate in Oshawa, Ontario. It's also the setting of Billy Madison.
SCTV, was one of the funniest thing I saw. I used to watch it religiously. I am kind of shocked The beachcombers were not on the list. I think you should look into "This hour has 22 minutes". I think you are acquainted enough with Canadian culture to understand most of the shows now. Also when is you Alberta show coming out. I have enjoyed your shows, showcasing the other provinces and am very interested in your take of my beautiful home, not that Alberta is better or worse then any other province, just different.
I 2nd all you mentioned! I laugh so hard at the comedies you stated…Great taste in comedy! I too live in Alberta and laughed at the vlog where Banff, AB memes of the mountains were portrayed as being in either Saskatchewan and Ontario. Obviously, one needs to be acquainted with our geography to understand the beauty of our provinces! Stay warm in the next few days, as this cold front passes! Fortunately, we know what it is to endure these conditions…All part of being Canadian! It makes the summers all the warmer! MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your Love Ones!🎄🇨🇦🎄
You should look up Bob & Doug McKenzie's version of "12 Days of Christmas." It's a comedic version of the song that still gets radio play every Christmas season where I live.
I thought they were going to be american tv shows with canadian characters. Some are english canadians tv show. I don’t know most of them. French canadians have their own tv shows and fictional characters, so it doesn’t represent all canada 😅 Ps. You should watch the movie « bon cop, bad cop » it would help you understand the relation between both culture (french vs english) 😉
We are certainly diverse in this country…makes it all the more wonderful! I am so blessed to have parents who spent years driving all over our country, so I’ve seen nearly every province and territory! I cannot tell you how many trips we made to the glorious province of Quebec! My father also worked there for years on the hydro project that many of us are familiar with. However, your culture and the French Canadian people are extremely special! I only hope that more people visit! I also wish it was mandatory for ALL Canadians to learn the beautiful official language of French, so we were completely bilingual! I was watching the CBC Newscast last night and saw that New Brunswick is cutting the French Immersion schools…To say I was SHOCKED, is an understatement! I have family living there. I only hope that the provincial government reverses this action and continues it efforts to keep the language and culture alive! We receive such influences from the outside world to change everything to 1 standard…How boring it would be in our country, if we didn’t have all the beautiful cultures and people living within it! I am so thrilled to hear you call yourself a Canadian!☺ I wish You, your Family, and Love Ones a very JOYFUL and MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 🎄🇨🇦🎄
I don't know how old you are, I watched the English-language version of a French-Canadian series renamed He Shoots, He Scores. The translation was a bit hokey by today's standards, but I still enjoyed it. Hockey may be our national sport though we don't often see series based on the sport.
@@mayloo2137 Hi Marry Loo ~ I think you live just south of me in Calgary, if I remember correctly? I believe I saw your interactions with someone from Edmonton…it had me in “stitches” - LOL!🤣 Oh, I definitely remember both “He Shoots, He Scores” and the fantastic show “The Beachcombers”! How anyone could leave that incredible show out of the lineup is sacrilegious! I even watched the “reboot”, but still enjoy the original version! Perhaps, it’s our generation. Things were simpler back then, and as “hokey” as they are, I still enjoy them to this day! I also appreciate your love our our winter national sport: HOCKEY!!😉 Stay warm as the cold front passes! Although we are so accustomed to the cold weather, our summers are extraordinary! I think it makes all the seasons so beautiful here! I’m THRILLED to meet another CANADIAN here!☺ Wishing You and your Love Ones a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!🎄🇨🇦🎄
The actress who played Robin from "How I Met Your Mother" is Canadian. She's from Vancouver and she's actually a Canucks fan (I've seen her at a game), that's why they wrote that into the show. But she's more famous now for her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
@@denyseleonard240 I indicated that by saying Vancouver, but to make it more clear ... she's from Vancouver BC, Canada, not from Vancouver WA, United States
Second Cup is more like a Starbucks (Canadian Version). We still have Starbucks. Timmy's (Tim Horton) is more of a donut shop with coffee and it's a Canadian culture thing because Tim Horton was a hockey player and also does his camps.
@@joshuakruger9455 came for this. Growing up in Montreal there was no Tim's, just Dunkin. Or a Van Houtte if you went to the right places. Never felt like Tim's did it right after we moved.
One of my favorite poems (by Dennis Lee if I'm not mistaken): I eat my peas with honey I've done it all my life They may taste kind of funny But it keeps them on the knife
Second Cup is a coffee house franchise like Starbucks. It was started by a man who had been homeless and living on the street and he ended up creating a coffee house chain. The Red Green Show has a huge cult following in the US, but it depends where you live. Where hunting and fishing and hunting lodges are a thing, it's big. When I mention that show to certain Americans, they go bananas. Trailer Park Boys also has a cult following... it's a fake reality show. It's filmed as if these guys are filming a documentary about themselves and the trailer park where they live... gritty humour, makes fun of stereotypical trailer trash, has had some notable guest stars on it (as has Red Green). Benton Fraser in Due South deserved more than an honourable mention. Rick Moranis started out on SCTV (Second City TV), a direct rival (and frankly better show) to Saturday Night Live. Notable actors/comedians who started there were John Candy, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, and on and on. Rick was on SCTV before he was in Ghostbusters. Bob and Doug Mackenzie were so huge in the early 80s. They had the show, a movie, a Christmas album and merch merch merch. It was everywhere.
i'm surprised that sctv was only lightly touched on (rick moranis was member of the team - they included others such as dan akroyd, john candy, martin short etc.). the shows degrassi, corner gas, riverdale etc.
I take it you don't watch a lot of PBS, they were the ones who showed Red Green, Anne of Green Gables, not to mention the DeGrassi franchise in the USA. Anne of Green Gables is considered to be "The great Canadian novel", it's popularity is World-wide (It's a true Canadian cultural idol and extremely popular in Japan) it was made into an American movie as far back as 1934 (The studio forced the lead actress to change her name to Anne Shirley), but, the best known version is the 1985 Canadian TV series, starring Megan Follows.
You need to look into SCTV (Second city television). Many of the best comedy actors in the US came from their! John Candy, Eugene Levi, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. It was a powerhouse of comedy.
I have to say that I never read the book, but being the father of three daughters I did see the series on tv. It certainly wasn't my first choice to watch on tv at the time. I must say I found the series to be quite entertaining and kept my interest. At the end of the series I couldn't help but think Anne of Green Gables is a captivating story and nobody was killed. Unusual at the time.
By the way I really appreciate the fact that you're American and you're taking the time to learn about our culture cause so many Americans are very very misinformed are just not informed at all and have no idea that we're a progressive country with high education and many resources And many more things.
Great choices, Tyler. I enjoy your channel and your educational approach to the topics. If I could suggest a choice for Part 2, please check out a tv series from the ‘80s about a lone dog who travels the country and saves people from sticky situations. And it’s not a cartoon either. The dog is a trained stunt dog and is the central character of the show. It’s called “the littlest Hobo”.
I think that, being more aware of Canadians and Canadian culture now than you used to be, you are more likely now to spot Canadian references in movies, television shows, etc. (like remembering that Wolverine says he's Canadian after being admonished that " Your country needs you!").
If you are familiar with Trailer Park Boys, the actor who plays J-Roc had his own talk show for teens in the late 90's, Jonovision. And he co-hosted a teen news show, Street Cents.
I grew up watching Steve Smith on TV. From his sketch show Smith & Smith with his wife, where a Red Green type recurring character first took shape. Then a short lived sitcom Me & Max. Max is the name of one of their sons, irl. Then there was a sketch show. I don’t remember the name of that, but one of the women on that one went on to become the younger aunt on Road to Avonlea. A series based on a short story of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Then came Red Green.
Robin from How I Met Your Mother was based on Alanis morrissette and her teen pop princess status here in Canada before she released Jagged Little Pill.
@tyler - You should do a full react to "Strange Brew" the movie version of Bob and Doug McKenzie. Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis came up with the characters while on SCTV, because at the time, there had to be a certain amount of "Canadian Content" on TV, and SCTV (a comedy skit show) had to show that. They were annoyed by this, and decided to make the most over the top Canadian show possible.
No, they were already existing Canadian stereotypes before Bob and Doug. That is why they were used as part of their personalities, because they were parodying Canadian stereotypes. And while I was never personally familiar with the "hoser" thing growing up, having been introduced to that stereotype by Bob and Doug, the "eh" stereotype was one I had been using since before Bob and Doug started parodying it.
I was watching Due South before coming here - it's recently been added to Canadian Netflix. "I'm Constable Benton Fraser. I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father, and for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture remained, attached as liaison with the Canadian consulate."
I can't believe the Due South didn't get on the list, but I guess it is pretty old now...I loved that show...Also, SCTV was TV gold - it's old now, but it is still very funny.
You should do a video about American films and shows filmed in Canada. You might be surprised just how many are filmed where I live in Hamilton and Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal
It’s embarrassing to whoever complied this list that Anne is so far down the list. She is known around the world unlike a good half of these. As usual though, Tyler, great reaction!
Canadians notoriously LOVE self-depricating humour, ie we who remember dear Dudley DoRight (dating myself, lol) adore him and regard him as an unintentional national hero...lol ;)
Cobie Smulders the actress you portrays Robin on How I Met Your Mother is Canadian and helps write the Canadiana for her character. Canadian TV to watch: Kids in the Hall SCTV
i'm surprised that u haven't had offers from canadians, especially from capital cities, for u to come on a vacation so u can check out the different places.
Although he was mentioned during the Wolverine section, I'm surprised Deadpool isn't actually on the list. As he says in the movie “I'm Wade Wilson from Regina, Saskatchewan. Regina, the town that rhymes with fun.”
There was talk about putting up a Deadpool statue here in Regina 😄
@@Zlata1313 That would be amazing!
My son and colleagues went on a work holiday to Seattle and when people asked where they were from, they said they were from Regina, Deadpool's home town. Then they had to pull up Google maps to prove that Regina was a real place, not fictional.
@@maryanneslater9675 😅😅
Deadpool makes a lot more Canadian references than Wolverine and the character is WAY more popular than most of the list. Even in Canada.
Most famous Red Green quote: "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!"
Always said at the end of a skit where he builds some ridiculous contraption from a bunch of garbage. Like turning your car into a bbq/smokehouse combo so by the time you get where you're going, you got some meat to eat.
Always held together by 50 rolls of "the handyman's secret weapon: duct tape"
I also like the man prayer :'' I'm a man but I can change...''
@@fedodosto3162 if I have to, I guess. I'm a woman, and I know that quote. It helps to live in Canada where that show was very popular.
I love Red Green.
Don't forget adventures with Bill
I still remember once he was singing by the campfire with Herold and I might be off on the lyrics.
" A horse with a horn is a unicorn "
" A horse with a man is a centaur "
" A horse with wings is a Pegasus "
" And a horse with a broken leg is glue "
The Green Gables house in PEI is not a replica. It's the actual house the author grew up in and the novel was based on the house and the surrounding area.
Actually the house the author grew up in is near this one, and no longer exists. You can visit it but it is just a hole in the ground now. This one was the neighbour's house.
I already told him that.
But I think you said it first. 😜
I've been to the house, but, never having read the book, had no idea what all the fuss is about.
Canadian here. When we visited the house, over 30 yrs ago, it was said to be Lucy's uncle's house.
@Ljbmd yes, her house is only the foundation. The "Green Gables" house at the heritage site was her uncle's home and the inspiration for Green Gables in the novel. I love that the gift shop/book store is still run by LMM's descendants. The list office where she worked (and wrote the novel) is there too. I also live near the filming location at Westfield Heritage Village (the train station, church, the kitchen at the beginning - maybe others I'm forgetting)
I am very sad you weren't introduced to our crime solving doggie and outstanding Canadian The Littlest Hobo
I was thinking of The Littlest Hobo when Tyler reacted to the video on Canada's Wonderland because they filmed an episode there.
Yes! He was the best pupper ever! Although I do like Rex in Hudson and Rex as well.
I was thinking the same thing, but I think the character was first in an American film. But Tyler should definitely check out some of the episode descriptions.
OMG I forgot about him! I used to watch that show at my grandparents' house.
@@kathytoy5055 damn now I have the theme song stuck in my head!
You should put up a Go Fund Me and then vlog a trip to Canada. I'm sure it would be very successful.
Agree!
Agree. And your viewers would probably give you guided tours all across the country.
I’m sure we can find a Canadian government grant to help him on a tour.
He's got a free place to crash in Mtl
Can stay with us in Ontario, Mom's in New Brunswick and nephew's in British Columbia! Come on up, Tyler! We'd love to show you around!
Wolverine was part of the Weapon X program, which was based in Canada. Other notable people in that program: Deadpool, Sabretooth, X-23, and a bunch of others only comic fans would know.
Ya know I never thought about it till now.. but there's a lot of them super healer mutants coming from Canada 🤔 is that a nod to the Canadian ruggedness perhaps?
@@apparentlynot1stLeonchubbs nah. Just universal healthcare
@@laxrocks123mine even better 👌
@@apparentlynot1stLeonchubbs Nah.... they studied gene sequences in their experiments and there were some common traits that were seen as favorable. I'm fairly certain a bunch of those mutants owe their regenerative ability to the progam's having Logan's blood to play around with. Like how they created X-23 in the Logan movie. There were mutants in the Weapon X progam, like Maverick who is an Energy Absorber, that did not have the Healing Factor.
Also, to be noted, the Weapon X program housed more than just Canadian mutants. Omega Red was from Russia. Fantomex is french I believe. They just operated out of Canada.
@@KeithDCanada Fantomex was born and raised in “the World” in England, but he experienced a fictional “France” when growing up which is why he identifies as French.
Tyler. You would probably like the Due South series because it is a show entirely based on American perceptions of stereotypical Canadians.
Yeah I just commented on that too. Quite the oversight.
I loved Due South, but I have to admit, the insistence that his husky dog was a wolf was a bit irritating.
I enjoyed the episode where they had to drive a felon (perjury not dangerous) back to Canada. They end up getting a ride with some Canadians. And the driver is like, don’t worry I know just what to do. And tells the boarder guy, nothing to declare. And drives off while Frasier sputters because they very much have something to declare!
For me it was that whale tail buick.
I totally agree.
Edit: Eh 😉
As a Canadian, it really irks me when the rest of the world stereotypically says " a boot" for about. This is almost mythical. There is a very small percentage of the Canadian population that say it like that. Now where did I put my maple syrup! 🤔
I think you left it in the canoe with the beaver, toque, and extra plaid shirts.
She’s actually Canadian .
I think she does it for a joke 😂
I totally agree with you , it irritates me as well
i agree to an extent... There have been a couple of times in my 30 year life where i have been told by people that i did say aboot instead of about.
I think its one of those things that if you do say it by accident, you dont notice, because i never did and then i would repeat it as about and be told thats not what i said.
I tend to say a-boat not a-boot
What irks me are people calling a ROOF a RUF/rough.
I cant.
I hope The Littlest Hobo is in this list. If he's not then he should be. There's a place, that keeps on calling me...down the road - that's where I want to be!
every stop i make, i make a new friend. turn around and i'm gone again.
Maybe tomorrow I'll want to settle down ...
… until tomorrow I’ll just keep moving on.
You could easily do a full episode on SCTV and it's star studded cast or Kids in the Hall. Both AMAZING comedy troops with crazy talent.
It's true about SCTV (except for Americans Joe Flaherty, Andrea Martin, and Harold Ramis).
The Frantics are another comedy troupe
Half of Canada's comedy actors are SCTV alumnus. 2/3s of the small part characters in Home Alone worked on SCTV.
Tyler around Christmas time you should really react to Bob and Dough MacKenzie's 12 days of Christmas. It's well known to every Canadian and absolutely hilarious from beginning to end.
ruclips.net/video/sEbUtpPQihM/видео.html
Yes, good call!
I think they did the voices of the moose for the movie Brother Bear. Love that movie
@@GoBlueGirl78 I had it on cassette. Your father must be around my age, 58. Old before my time.
@@Snoodles294 Same actors yes! Those boys are true Canadian icons.
I'd be tempted to add the boys from Letterkenny to this list. such a good Canadian show.
* and girls
What about Corner Gas?
Yeah, Letterkenny is hugely popular in the US. I'm also surprised it's not on the list. I see other RUclipsrs often making references to it. It does have a lot of slang so it can be more difficult to understand. It's basically adults having conflicts between cliques that existed in highschool, like goths, jocks, hicks...
I think Tyler would think The Red Green Show is funny. I see reruns and still admire how good the show was.
Yeah, snd Corner Gas and Murdoch
And maybe Republic of Doyle. That had great characters.
Robin Sparkles is largely based on Alanis Morissette, who, before her Jagged Little Pill transformation sang VERY 1980s style music (such as Too Hot, which was a somewhat big song) during the 1990s, and was apparently not known outside of Canada.
Seriously, Tyler. You have to see her back then.
Formerly known as simply "Alanis". Huge in Quebec compared to any other Province.
Alanis was also on a Canadian comedy show called You Can't Do That On Television
@@19freddy73
Which Ryan Reynolds (her ex-fiance) names as his favourite Canadian TV show in an interview he did on CBC (subject was 10 questions for Ryan Reynolds about Canada)
Yea, Wolverine mentions he's Canadian in his first on screen appearance.
The guy who plays Red Green used to be on a comedy show called Smith and Smith prior to.
Hugh Jackman is actually Australian playing a Canadian in the series.
Red Green was a recurring segment of Smith and Smith ,also hilarious. Then created his own show and was on for several years. He even signed a contract with the Duct Tape manufacturer to use his image on their packaging.
@@MrBonners Not just a few years, but a whopping 15 seasons of The Red Green Show.
I liked Smith and Smith back in the day
Yes he and his wife had a variety show!
Constable Benton Fraser, from the TV show "Due South." It just recently hit Netflix and is well worth the watch. It's a comedy drama about a Mountie who follows the murderer of his father to Chicago then gets a position at the Canadian Consulate. and helps the Chicago Police solve cases. It's a show set in the United States that plays on all the stereotypes that Americans have of Canadians, shot in Toronto, standing in for Chicago, starring mostly recognizable Canadian actors and made by a lot of Canadians.
I absolutely love Due South. I have seen every episode more than once.
That's an old show , just airing on Netflix?
@@TonyWilliams-f8y - Correct.
I’m almost ready to call Tyler an honorary Canadian…. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦(he still needs to visit and experience Canadian culture first).
Thoroughly enjoy his reactions to our culture and smile every time he ‘kinda feels uncomfortable’ when Canadians are insulted 😂😂…… atta’ boy Tyler 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
But....does he like Rush ?????
HahahahahahahahahahahahahahHahahahahHajahahahahahahajahahahahauauahahahahahhahahahahahaha!
Someone else may have mentioned this, but the Disney movie Turning Red is set in Canada and the main character, Mei Lee, is Canadian.
Oh, yes! Excellent movie and yes, very Canadian.
Trailer Park Boys, yes filmed in my city of Halifax and the actor playing Bubbles does love cats in real life. He actually was a client of the Veterinary hospital I worked at, he would bring his cat Spock in annually for his shots etc.. he named him Spock because on one of his front paws his cat had a deformity with it's toes, he had 4 toes but 2 each of the toes were fused together and it looked like that gesture Spock would do with his hand saying Live long and prosper!
Had a cat like that many years ago. His name was Lucky. He was a stray who wandered into my yard one day and never left. I had to get his front feet declawed because he wasn’t able to retract them. He could still catch mice as good as any other cat though. I miss him a lot.
The house came before the novel as the setting of the novel was the house and surrounding area, the book becoming famous made the house an icon and a treasure hence the tourism
wasn't there a spinoff? something about hattie king?
@@chainsawlady road to avonlea is all I can find when I try to look it up. Is that what you're thinking about?
Thanks for the clarification
@@chainsawlady Hettie King was one of many characters in Road to Avonlea, set in the same town as Anne of Green Gables after Anne has grown up and moved away. Road to Avonlea actually had a longer run than Anne of Green Gables, with several seasons.
@@raelynteaguewrites Anne of GG was a mini series, that's why Avonlea lasted longer. They did an Emily of New Moon TV series as well.
Bob & Doug were part of the "Second City TV" troupe. There were two Second City locations (Toronto & Chicago). The Toronto group created the TV Show. Many of the Toronto members became famous (Canadian spelling). They contributed largely to the success of Saturday Night Live. John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Martin Short, .... the list goes on
I believe Gilda Radner was from Detroit.
@@ThePowergoats yup she wasn't Canadian
I seem to recall Bob and Doug had a couch on the side of the Oscar's one year too.
@@ThePowergoats She was American, but was on SCTV, before being on SNL.
Probably.... but she worked at 2nd city in Toronto
Brendon Fraser (the MUMMY films) is from BC CANADA. When SNL was launched, where half were Canadian comics. 22+ of Netflix, various TV or FILM productions are ongoing in BC alone. Every prime time evening has at least a few Canadian actors in leading roles. The Rookie, FBI, the Good Doctor, etc.
Sorry, try again. When SNL was launched, ONE was a Canadian comic. You may be confusing them with SCTV, a Canadian show, which was initially comprised of Second City actors, just as SNL's original cast are all Second City alumni.
But if you check the cast, Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner are ALL American. Dan Aykroyd was the only cast member who was actually Canadian.
Also, bear in mind that there were MULTIPLE Second City locations. Chicago was the original, and the one from which Lorne Michaels drew most of his cast for SNL, while SCTV mainly consists of Second City Toronto members. Rick Moranis was an initially controversial decision to join the cast of SCTV, primarily due to him not "paying his dues" by going through the Second City stage first, but when everybody saw his acting, all doubts were quashed.
FBI is filmed in Toronto as I think Transplant is. Good Doctor is filmed in Surrey (Vancouver suburb). The shows A Million Little Things and Family Law are , I believe also filmed in Vancouver
Supernatural, the first several seasons of the X-Files, Stargate SG-1 (Not sure about Atlantis), Criminal Minds, The Flash, Once Upon a Time, House... That's just TV stuff, before even considering a couple of Marvel movies, the Deadpool movies.
@@Luca-vq8uo Every Arrowverse show was filmed in Vancouver. You mentioned Flash, but that also includes Arrow, Supergirl, Legends Of Tomorrow, and Batwoman.
@@alanlafond9705 If we attempted to list every single thing that's been filmed in Vancouver we'd be here for days. But I will admit, I forgot it was the Arrowverse, specifically. These were just off the top of my head.
The Anne of Green Gables novel is required reading in Japan. Anne is a highly revered heroine over there. When I was a kid on vacation in PEI with my family, we visited the Anne of Green Gables home the day the Japanese princess was there. She said that Japanese girls look up to Anne as their hero.
That's so cool!
I did not know that!!
This is awesome, i love this so much. I grew up in Nova Scotia, which is the closest provence to PEI. I grew up on all things Anne, books, cartoons, Tv shows, movies, and after looking up her connection to Japan i realize i have seen the anime as well.
One more that is not on the list is Winnie the Pooh, sort of.
A.A. Milne wrote the Winnie the Pooh stories for his son Christoper based on his teddy bear Winnie. Christopher got the name for his bear from a real bear in the London zoo named Winnipeg, or Winnie for short. Winnipeg was a mascot for the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps when they went over from Canada to fight in WW I. They left the bear there after the war and he lived in London Zoo until he died.
So, basically, Winnie the Pooh is based on the real bear Winnipeg from Canada.
The bear was from White River Ontario, to be a bit more specific
@@schoowoolovesbooboo2170 And there is a statue in White River of Winnie..
@mikematson6323 interesting! I've been in white river, never saw if. Gonna look for it next time.
Re: Bob & Doug McKenzie - they were originally conceived by accident. SCTV, a Canadian TV series, was produced for private television, but was picked up by the CBC (government-run television network). The CBC runs 2 minutes FEWER commercials per hour, so the series producers were asked to insert 2 extra minutes of new content per episode and..... since they were the stewards of Canadian television, they demanded that the 2 extra minutes be "Canadian Content".
The SCTV crew thought this was ridiculous, so they came up with Bob & Doug as a bird-flip to the CBC for their ridiculous "Canadian Content" requirement. To their sheer astonishment, the Bob & Doug segments (originally "Kanadian Korner", later "The Great White North") proved to be the most popular part of the show. The show also ran briefly on NBC in the early 1980s. It also starred John Candy, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Catherine O'Hara, and Andrea Martin.
The segment was so popular that it spawned a hit movie called "Strange Brew" (I highly recommend) as well as two hit music singles: "Take Off" (featuring Geddy Lee of Rush), and "Twelve Days Of Christmas" (".....and a beer.... in a tree!"). All are hysterical and all are available on RUclips.
The reason why they thought the Canadian content was ridiculous was because literally every aspect of SCTV was Canadian. It was written, produced, directed and performed by Canadians
Bob & Doug almost single-handedly popularized the stereotypes of Canadians wearing plaid jackets, saying ‘eh’ & ‘hoser’ and generally really leaned into a pile of Canadian stereotypes. Hilarious self-deprecating humour.
The band Rush had a song "Take Off" that was about Bob and Doug Mckenzie. The brothers had a part in the song, it was funny and popular at least up here lol
It’s a beauty way to go!
Bob and Doug Mackenzie are pretty much where every Canadian stereotype comes from, I'm sure you'd like the show.
And a beer... in a tree!
I definitely think Deadpool (Wade Wilson) should have been on the list, the character is Canadian and we all know the actor Ryan Reynolds is Canadian. The double hit should have given him a spot rather than just an honorable mention.
I also think Don Harron's "Charlie Farquharson" should have been on the list as well. Even Americans (of my generation and older) remember him from Hee Haw.
tbf, the list was made before the Deadpool movies came out. Though, I suppose they could have gone off the comics.
When I was watching "The Boys" I kept thinking the setting sure seemed Canadian for being the US. Then I saw the CN Rail logo on a truck and laughed. Canada and the US are really similar for the most part, pretty interchangeable for filming locations.
The Boys is filmed in Toronto!
So many TV shows and movies are done in Canada now. BC is really popular, I've seen the same cabin by a lake many times lol. X-Men, Supernatural, Resident Alien, etc
Most people would be surprised at how many "Hollywood" shows are filmed north of the border with Canadian crews and Canadian extras. Most provinces offer huge financial incentives to entice American productions north.
The X-Men mansion is somewhere in Canada too
@@kevinw2592 Hatley Castle in BC. I've been there. Covered in peacocks. Well, some shots are from that location, not all of them. They used some of the outside in the movie, but I don't think the interior. (I could be wrong)
SCTV was produced by SNL producer Canadian Lorne Michaels.
The How I Met Your mother charrecter Robin Sparkles was based on Alanis Morrisette from when she was just know as Alanis an a pop singer in the late 80s early 90s before becoming an alternarive musician. (Garberator is Canadian for garbage disposal machine)
Dudley Do Right was a popular cartoon in the 60's. It was made in the States and was a spin-off of the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show featuring a wise-cracking squirrel and his sidekick Moose. Anne of Green Gables is a big deal in Canada and, apparently, Japan as well. I don't think it ever became very popular in the US though, because it's basically a Canadian version of Little House on the Prairie. I've been to Nova Scotia and the Trailer Park Boys are a pretty realistic representation of many people in the Maritimes. The show is popular throughout the southern states and the Midwest because the characters are similar to many of the trailer park folks there too. Bob & Doug McKenzie and SCTV were popular in the late 70's/early 80's. Fun fact: I taught Rick Moranis's niece at Queen's University in 2006. Ironically, Wolverine, supposedly a Canadian, is played by an Australian, Hugh Jackman.
Again, you seem to think that Canada is such a vastly different, very "foreign" place from the US. If you actually visited here, I think you'd be shocked to find out how similar the people are in the two countries. Also, as little as most Americans know about Canada, conversely, Canadians know as much, if not more, about the US as mist Americans do. We get all the same movies and TV shows as you do.
On the tv show SCTV, The Great White North was just one regular segment. It became so popular that a Christmas record and a movie, Strange Brew were made. Every year at Christmas you can hear their version of The 12 Days of Christmas. Priceless goofiness🎼🎶. “On the the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me…a beer.”
Dont forget the aminated movie where Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas are the stars.. 2 moose brothers
Dave Thomas later played (in Grace Under Fire) Grace's (Brett Butler's) next door neighbour.
Another Canadian connection - illustrator Joe Shuster, co-creator of Superman, was born in Toronto.
Bus loads of Japanese tourists visit Green Gables and watch the stage play, see the house, and buy up the Anne souvenirs. They love her character. ❤
I think we need one for Canadian actors and actresses, and then filmed in Canada. A whole bunch more than some people think. Canada is also very popular for filming because it is much cheaper and has a lot of the desired landscaped and architecture widely available.
A better Canadian series than some of those listed is called Due South and is an RCMP movie that has a good share of Canadian humour. I don't know if it is still showing anywhere though.
There was a pretty good sitcom with Phil Hartman, Joe Rogan, Andy Dick called Newsradio- and the boss in the show was played by Dave Foley (former Kids in the Hall member- a canadian sketch comedy show) and one episode dealt with him finally having to admit to his gf that he was in fact a Canadian. good show with a great cast.
Tyler, you must check out some of Rick Mercer’s ‘Asking Americans’. Hysterical series where they crossed the border to find out what people knew about Canada. They played politicians, university students, business people. No one noticed they were being played. Pretty funny.
"Talking to Americans", but yes.
SCTV was really popular. It was definitely known in the States when it came out. The cast is a whose who of comedy: John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Rick Moranis.
Lorne Micheals also got his start with them.
Lucy Maude Montgomery wrote many novels about Anne of Green Gables. She would write 19 books in total. Green Gables is the actual home of Lucy Maude Montgomery that was restored. You should look into the Japanese obsession with Anne. Second Cup is a Canadian coffee chain.
Don't forget to add to your list one very funny man, MIke Myers. If there's one thing we Canadians like to do, it's to make fun of ourselves. Hugh Jackman by the way is Australian, wow did he do an excellent job as Wolverine.
This is a list of Canadian CHARACTERS not actors. Mike Myers is Canadian, but are any of the characters he plays Canadian?
I’d say an honourable mention for Commander Shepard (Earthborn). Although not directly mentioned in game, the Earth Alliance Defence council is in Vancouver BC, BioWare as a company is Canadian, as well as the two voice actors who voice Male & Female Shepard.

FYI, Anne of Green Gables has been translated into at least 36 languages and has sold more than 50 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books worldwide.
Tyler gets things wrong 99% of the time, Dudley do right was shown on American tv in the 1970s.
I'm surprised that Dean and Terry from the movie FUBAR wasn't on this list, they're hilarious. Also, the movie "Death Hunt" with Charles Bronson, the story was loosely based on the actual events of the fugitive Albert Johnson aka. "The Mad Trapper"
"The day after Christmas in 1931, a constable with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police went to check on a man named Albert Johnson on suspicion that he was trapping without a license. The confrontation that followed would leave a fiery standoff, an epic manhunt, and an enduring mystery.
Tyler, you do every 'typical average American' proud with your openness to learning about Canadian culture. Thanks from this typical average Canadian!
Oh ya, you gotta watch the Trailer Park Boys!!
Trailer Park Boys is a wonderful show. It's gut-busting hilarious and at the heart of it all - the show is about family, friends, and community. The first few seasons especially are some of the best tv to come out of Canada and well worth a watch.
Also, the X mansion in the films is actually Hatley castle in Victoria, BC. I have family who live in Victoria and have visited it many times.
and casa loma in toronto
At least in the first x-men film, maybe the second as well, the mansion is absolutely the Parkwood estate in Oshawa, Ontario. It's also the setting of Billy Madison.
They did not rebuild it. It is the house of the author of the book. The book was based on that house
SCTV, was one of the funniest thing I saw. I used to watch it religiously. I am kind of shocked The beachcombers were not on the list. I think you should look into "This hour has 22 minutes". I think you are acquainted enough with Canadian culture to understand most of the shows now. Also when is you Alberta show coming out. I have enjoyed your shows, showcasing the other provinces and am very interested in your take of my beautiful home, not that Alberta is better or worse then any other province, just different.
I 2nd all you mentioned! I laugh so hard at the comedies you stated…Great taste in comedy! I too live in Alberta and laughed at the vlog where Banff, AB memes of the mountains were portrayed as being in either Saskatchewan and Ontario. Obviously, one needs to be acquainted with our geography to understand the beauty of our provinces!
Stay warm in the next few days, as this cold front passes! Fortunately, we know what it is to endure these conditions…All part of being Canadian! It makes the summers all the warmer!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your Love Ones!🎄🇨🇦🎄

Ps. You should watch the movie « bon cop, bad cop » it would help you understand the relation between both culture (french vs english) 😉
Vary true, that was a great movie, totally explains a lot about us Canadians lol
We are certainly diverse in this country…makes it all the more wonderful! I am so blessed to have parents who spent years driving all over our country, so I’ve seen nearly every province and territory! I cannot tell you how many trips we made to the glorious province of Quebec! My father also worked there for years on the hydro project that many of us are familiar with. However, your culture and the French Canadian people are extremely special! I only hope that more people visit! I also wish it was mandatory for ALL Canadians to learn the beautiful official language of French, so we were completely bilingual! I was watching the CBC Newscast last night and saw that New Brunswick is cutting the French Immersion schools…To say I was SHOCKED, is an understatement! I have family living there. I only hope that the provincial government reverses this action and continues it efforts to keep the language and culture alive! We receive such influences from the outside world to change everything to 1 standard…How boring it would be in our country, if we didn’t have all the beautiful cultures and people living within it! I am so thrilled to hear you call yourself a Canadian!☺

I don't know how old you are, I watched the English-language version of a French-Canadian series renamed He Shoots, He Scores. The translation was a bit hokey by today's standards, but I still enjoyed it. Hockey may be our national sport though we don't often see series based on the sport.
@@mayloo2137 Hi Marry Loo ~ I think you live just south of me in Calgary, if I remember correctly? I believe I saw your interactions with someone from Edmonton…it had me in “stitches” - LOL!🤣
Oh, I definitely remember both “He Shoots, He Scores” and the fantastic show “The Beachcombers”! How anyone could leave that incredible show out of the lineup is sacrilegious! I even watched the “reboot”, but still enjoy the original version! Perhaps, it’s our generation. Things were simpler back then, and as “hokey” as they are, I still enjoy them to this day!

The actress who played Robin from "How I Met Your Mother" is Canadian. She's from Vancouver and she's actually a Canucks fan (I've seen her at a game), that's why they wrote that into the show. But she's more famous now for her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Paul Gross in" Due South" is a Canadian playing a mountie in Chigago. He's a film producer now. Very funny serie.
Second Cup is more like a Starbucks (Canadian Version). We still have Starbucks. Timmy's (Tim Horton) is more of a donut shop with coffee and it's a Canadian culture thing because Tim Horton was a hockey player and also does his camps.
Timmy's is the only joint with bearable prices.

Second Cup is a coffee house franchise like Starbucks. It was started by a man who had been homeless and living on the street and he ended up creating a coffee house chain. The Red Green Show has a huge cult following in the US, but it depends where you live. Where hunting and fishing and hunting lodges are a thing, it's big. When I mention that show to certain Americans, they go bananas.
Trailer Park Boys also has a cult following... it's a fake reality show. It's filmed as if these guys are filming a documentary about themselves and the trailer park where they live... gritty humour, makes fun of stereotypical trailer trash, has had some notable guest stars on it (as has Red Green). Benton Fraser in Due South deserved more than an honourable mention.
Rick Moranis started out on SCTV (Second City TV), a direct rival (and frankly better show) to Saturday Night Live. Notable actors/comedians who started there were John Candy, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, and on and on. Rick was on SCTV before he was in Ghostbusters. Bob and Doug Mackenzie were so huge in the early 80s. They had the show, a movie, a Christmas album and merch merch merch. It was everywhere.
Strange Brew is so funny! I showed my son it several years ago when he was 12-14 yrs old and he wanted to watch it again lol
if they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. -Red Green
i'm surprised that sctv was only lightly touched on (rick moranis was member of the team - they included others such as dan akroyd, john candy, martin short etc.). the shows degrassi, corner gas, riverdale etc.
list of canadian actors - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_actors
@@chainsawlady Yes but "this" video was aboot Fictional Canadian characters.
I take it you don't watch a lot of PBS, they were the ones who showed Red Green, Anne of Green Gables, not to mention the DeGrassi franchise in the USA. Anne of Green Gables is considered to be "The great Canadian novel", it's popularity is World-wide (It's a true Canadian cultural idol and extremely popular in Japan) it was made into an American movie as far back as 1934 (The studio forced the lead actress to change her name to Anne Shirley), but, the best known version is the 1985 Canadian TV series, starring Megan Follows.
I'm surprised that they didn't mention "Anne with an E". It didn't stick to the books as close as I would have liked though.
You need to look into SCTV (Second city television). Many of the best comedy actors in the US came from their! John Candy, Eugene Levi, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. It was a powerhouse of comedy.
I have to say that I never read the book, but being the father of three daughters I did see the series on tv. It certainly wasn't my first choice to watch on tv at the time. I must say I found the series to be quite entertaining and kept my interest. At the end of the series I couldn't help but think Anne of Green Gables is a captivating story and nobody was killed. Unusual at the time.
Halifax explosion reaction please!❤
You know it's gonna be good, when you see Benton Fraser at the very beginning. ❤
By the way I really appreciate the fact that you're American and you're taking the time to learn about our culture cause so many Americans are very very misinformed are just not informed at all and have no idea that we're a progressive country with high education and many resources And many more things.
You know how you can tell Wolverine and Deadpool are both Canadian heroes? Their superpower is healthcare
Great choices, Tyler. I enjoy your channel and your educational approach to the topics.
If I could suggest a choice for Part 2, please check out a tv series from the ‘80s about a lone dog who travels the country and saves people from sticky situations. And it’s not a cartoon either. The dog is a trained stunt dog and is the central character of the show. It’s called “the littlest Hobo”.
Dude they mention Toronto about 15 times in Scott Pilgrim.
And it rains loonies and toonies.
I think that, being more aware of Canadians and Canadian culture now than you used to be, you are more likely now to spot Canadian references in movies, television shows, etc. (like remembering that Wolverine says he's Canadian after being admonished that " Your country needs you!").
ahh man you gotta watch some Red Green.
Wolverine is from Cold Lake, Alberta!
If you are familiar with Trailer Park Boys, the actor who plays J-Roc had his own talk show for teens in the late 90's, Jonovision. And he co-hosted a teen news show, Street Cents.
I grew up watching Steve Smith on TV. From his sketch show Smith & Smith with his wife, where a Red Green type recurring character first took shape. Then a short lived sitcom Me & Max. Max is the name of one of their sons, irl. Then there was a sketch show. I don’t remember the name of that, but one of the women on that one went on to become the younger aunt on Road to Avonlea. A series based on a short story of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Then came Red Green.
Robin from How I Met Your Mother was based on Alanis morrissette and her teen pop princess status here in Canada before she released Jagged Little Pill.
Exactly...I was just looking for a video of when she was on Electric Circus
Cobie Smulders is also a Canadian playing a Canadian
@tyler - You should do a full react to "Strange Brew" the movie version of Bob and Doug McKenzie.
Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis came up with the characters while on SCTV, because at the time, there had to be a certain amount of "Canadian Content" on TV, and SCTV (a comedy skit show) had to show that. They were annoyed by this, and decided to make the most over the top Canadian show possible.
" Bob and Doug" are where the " Eh!? " and " Hoser " (dufus) became famous stereotype Canadian things.
No, they were already existing Canadian stereotypes before Bob and Doug. That is why they were used as part of their personalities, because they were parodying Canadian stereotypes. And while I was never personally familiar with the "hoser" thing growing up, having been introduced to that stereotype by Bob and Doug, the "eh" stereotype was one I had been using since before Bob and Doug started parodying it.
@@alanlafond9705 as I said, they brought the stereotypes to fame. never said they invented the stereotypes.
the beach combers - set in vancouver was a big hit
God bless Bruno Gerussi and the rest of that fine cast. And don't forget Molly's Reach.
You should do one about the best Canadian rock bands such as Rush, Rush, Rush and Rush.
Ahem... Tragically Hip.
I was watching Due South before coming here - it's recently been added to Canadian Netflix. "I'm Constable Benton Fraser. I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father, and for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture remained, attached as liaison with the Canadian consulate."
What about Schitt’s Creek. A huge hit in both Canada and U S
Look up , the 12 days of Christmas by Bob and Doug.
I can't believe the Due South didn't get on the list, but I guess it is pretty old now...I loved that show...Also, SCTV was TV gold - it's old now, but it is still very funny.
You can watch Due South now on Netflix. They don't include the pilot episode but you can find that on youtube.
Due South was mentioned briefly in passing as an Honorable Mention but I agree it should have made the main list.
Myers & Moranes were also on SNL and did skits just like their movie. (This was before the movie)
You should do a video about American films and shows filmed in Canada. You might be surprised just how many are filmed where I live in Hamilton and Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal
Many in Calgary & area
Vancouver and the island are used for so much!
It’s embarrassing to whoever complied this list that Anne is so far down the list. She is known around the world unlike a good half of these.
As usual though, Tyler, great reaction!
2nd Cup is kinda like Starbucks- a little bit more swanky than Timmie's.
Canadians notoriously LOVE self-depricating humour, ie we who remember dear Dudley DoRight (dating myself, lol) adore him and regard him as an unintentional national hero...lol ;)
Cobie Smulders the actress you portrays Robin on How I Met Your Mother is Canadian and helps write the Canadiana for her character.
Canadian TV to watch:
Kids in the Hall
SCTV
Also in The Avengers.
5:35 - I started laughing immediately when Anne came up, having already seen your video about P.E.I.
i'm surprised that u haven't had offers from canadians, especially from capital cities, for u to come on a vacation so u can check out the different places.
