Absolutely this, I was thinking exactly the same thing. This one was sinking fast, but between them they threw their shoulders back, dived in and saved it - hats off to the pair of them!
@@apb3251 The unknown reason is unfortunately a lot of 'eccentrics' in Toronto who will yell at you, as Hawke put it in his Instagram comments... most anyone who approaches you on the streets in Toronto will not have anything nice to say. Harassment, stalking, catcalling; all often substance-fuelled. The finance district is particularly a tough crowd but there is reason to be cautious in Toronto
Dungarees lady with some of the energy that the rest of Toronto seems to be missing! Meanwhile, Troy on point as always. He’s a true legend that brings it every time!
I apologize for my fellow Torontonians - we truly are a group who are paranoid of people talking to us, who fear any kind of human contact, who are over-protective, and also very untrustworthy of anyone even glancing in our general direction. We have a lot of work to do. But your bright light was needed, even if it wasn't appreciated at the time. We have to do better.
He probably did this in downtown Toronto. Like 75% of the people trying to talk to you in downtown Toronto are drug addicts, homeless people, or people with mental disabilities. They wait for people to give them attention, then they never leave them alone and can get violent. Source: I'm from Toronto and I made the mistake of giving some weirdo 10 seconds of attention, only to be followed for the next 20 minutes with the guy telling me about his ...... life? I guess. Idk.
I dont know if that comment is sarcastic or realistic, but why is that? Isnt Canada one of the best countries to live in? Isnt this beahiour more suitable for a poor/high-crime/sad country?
You just know that all those who ignored Troy will have that moment forever on their mind. Always regretting their decision to not interact and pondering upon the complexity of possibilities
Your talent is wasted on them Canadians Troy... they seem unable to appreciate your beautifully british humour. I, on the other hand, absolutely adore you, and there is nothing you can do to stop me! Come home we love you here. 😘🤜🤛❤
God these Toronto videos make me so embarrassed to be torontonian but they are accurate. No one even likes to make eye contact in the city. Most accurate part is the driver parked in the crosswalk.
That Kai/bandana comment KILLED ME! I laughed for probably 10 minutes before seeing the rest of the video! Love this - wish I had been in Toronto when you were!
Damn missed you by a matter of days. I was recently in Toronto, my first time in Canada from the UK and yeah the people weren’t that friendly or chatty, im from northern England and love to meet new people but was hard work 😢
Yup, Toronto is a town full of humorless zombies. I lived there long enough not to be surprised by these flat reactions (or non-reactions) to Troy's joyful comments. It's just sad.
Toronto clearly needs training on how to deal with the Hawke 😂😂😂. Thank God for guy in truck and dungarees lady 👍
Absolutely this, I was thinking exactly the same thing. This one was sinking fast, but between them they threw their shoulders back, dived in and saved it - hats off to the pair of them!
And the dog owner in the peach cap 😁
Everyone in Toronto is miserable af but it’s a pretty city
It’s like most places in NA terrified to make eye contact for an unknown reason

Three minutes of joy; top marks to Red-van Driver and Dungarees Lady.
That haircut could work in any of the last four decades, sheer brilliance from Troy.
That was super fun! Peach cap and overalls are great, but the fellow greeter driving the truck really put in the work.
yeah, the truck driver was epic

"Gym-fit John Oliver"! 😂
I think that wasn't exactly a compliment. 🤣

You make Londoners look positively bubbly.
Very British I must say 😅
I hope this sparks the growth of something beautiful in Toronto.

Standing still to salute the lovely person on the mobility scooter was class 😁
Tough crowd, but you got through, it'll sink in, they'll be forever talking about the mythical God of greeters.
You just know that all those who ignored Troy will have that moment forever on their mind. Always regretting their decision to not interact and pondering upon the complexity of possibilities
Loving ya Troy-like tongue response.🤜🤛
Stunned into mute paralysis by the unexpected blast of charm and good greetings
2:28 "Joyous Laughter"
More like "Super villian Laughter"
what a legend
A lot of people in Canada are morbid to such compliments. Jan molby would be disgusted.
He’d do better in Vancouver!
😂
Wow, they are all so stiff and serious. That was a tough crowd!
Are you Gregor? I’ve been given wrong information. I am done 😂😂😂
The man's going to be forever mystified by that exchange 😂
The Rogers employee and overalls were the only ones up to the task. Be better Canada.
Good thing it wasnt a Bell employee
People must get mugged a lot in Canada lol
i got lost in toronto downtown once, can confirm, nearly got mugged
"You look like a gym-fit John Oliver" seems like a compliment to him but also in some way a slight at John Oliver.
we need more,,these 3 min wonders are addictive.
Your talent is wasted on them Canadians Troy... they seem unable to appreciate your beautifully british humour.
I, on the other hand, absolutely adore you, and there is nothing you can do to stop me! Come home we love you here. 😘🤜🤛❤
Fantastic Troy!
Troy not unlike a gentle west wind, pleasant and refreshing, making everyone else’s day a touch better with his favonian charm and friendly banter.
Educating our north-westerly brethren in the gentle art of Hawkisms may take some time.
Never underestimate the power of a compliment. They make us feel special.
God these Toronto videos make me so embarrassed to be torontonian but they are accurate. No one even likes to make eye contact in the city.
Most accurate part is the driver parked in the crosswalk.
You have a wonderful tempo on your walk 😂😂
He actually does though!
Those dungarees were absolutely splendid!
Always a gift of happiness..
Be kind to all you meet.
Love how he can match anyone's energy
This man is what the world needs more of ☺️
Troy hawke …changing the world for the better ❤️
Meteorological warning - peak compliment in Toronto.
Watching these videos brings a smile to my face.
So much goodwill being distributed.
If j saw Troy in Toronto I would t rush away… I’d take him to the best places to greet people!!!!
That Kai/bandana comment KILLED ME! I laughed for probably 10 minutes before seeing the rest of the video! Love this - wish I had been in Toronto when you were!
The van driver gets it
Bloody great!
In a world of negative trolling, what an absolute joy! Have the very best of days, everyone!
The van driver saved the day 🙌
How does Troy's brain work so fast
Thank you and Welcome to the colonies, you King of Greeters and Good Fellowship! We Toronto Tontos are not worthy! You stoop to conquer!
😂 amazing again!
Thanks so much for the smiles and laughter 😊❤
Interacting with Canadian NPC's 😂 they need better AI
Come back to England where you are truly appreciated. 😂
That's what I enjoy, the off the cuff keen observations, I dig it! 😁
What a legend!
your best yet Troy!
4th , story of my life
You were before me. Seems i am still bringing up the rear 😅
You can never be too careful 😂😂😂
Some of these Candians really dont get it do they?
if the guy in the truck laughed any harder he could of hurt himself
Troy is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
"Joyous laughter" 😂
Dungarees!
❤
“Gym fit John Oliver” 😂
Now I will have a wonderful day.👍😇
haha, poor girl is still trying to work out that Kai reference
Oh dear me. If I wanna know my next destination I'll just watch Hawke's
Its funny that the countries who youd think were friendly and have abit of banter(canada,Australia)were 2 of the most stuck up.
Damn they’re even more cold than Londoners
Please come to the S Lawrence Market/Esplanade!
Damn missed you by a matter of days. I was recently in Toronto, my first time in Canada from the UK and yeah the people weren’t that friendly or chatty, im from northern England and love to meet new people but was hard work 😢
I need a rotation.
👍🏼👍🏼
Please come up to Lawrence park
🤣🤣Top Shelf 🫡‼️
Question for Troy Hawk, how do I get into the Greeters Guild ?.
Ok.. am here anyway, i am not 10th 😅
Brill😊
First!
Psychology should be taught in schools.
Can you greet outside a shoppers drug mart please
So if dungarees are called overalls in Toronto, what are overalls called?
Dungarees, obviously.
You’re like a gym fit John Oliver
Are the Canadians ok??
Toronto...what happened guys? lol
Did he mean cobra kai with the bandana comment?
Apart from the van driver, most of these guys were pretty dour.
Cheer up Canada, it might never happen
Second
Don't try this in New York Troy..😮
He did - and it worked - czcams.com/video/bDxTJnkOa60/video.html
He did! And they seemed to love it czcams.com/video/bDxTJnkOa60/video.htmlsi=NouU2y71w93O1CBj
He did about 6 months ago. But it was in a park, where the punters were more relaxed and a bit more stationary.
@@silsonstevehe’s been in the same part of downtown, he’d have better luck east, west or south of there I feel.
Third lol
Troy remains at his peak, while humanity just gets more boring.
Toronto looks depressing
It is not at all. Big movie stars can wander around here. People respect privacy
Troy they just aren't in your league. And also they have 0 humor lol
All that wasted on most of them people. The odd couple responded well but the amount that just put head down and rushed past.
Rogers Dude. Your smarts are wasted on that job sir.
Yup, Toronto is a town full of humorless zombies. I lived there long enough not to be surprised by these flat reactions (or non-reactions) to Troy's joyful comments. It's just sad.
Canadians are so sad hooooooly
Good work Troy, but they don't really know how to respon🤦♂️
Send it home Troy, wasting your time being complimentary in American and Canada.
Gosh, how boring are some people. Just a bit or fun, people have become scared to interact anymore.
Wow , Canadians, what is wrong with you?! What was that? THE ABSOLUTE WORST REACTIONS BY FAR!
Canadians can come across as a bit soulless.
They have seemed to have lost their British heritage
So much ignorance.....
Are you a nonsense person lol
Torontonians don’t care
