      I agree. I have recently posted a couple of comments on different @TylerBucket video wherein I thanked him and praised him for openly dispaying his polite, open minded and non-condescending reactions and comments towards Canadians. Tyler Bucket, you are a great dude. Welcome anywhere, anytime, in Canada.

      He's honestly trying, respectful and polite enough to be on free-trial for sure. Glad to pull him a log if he showed up at my camp for a cold one. Even with their 'murican beer, I can spot a friendly guy when I see one. I am french-Canadian, and I approve Tyler for a visit.

      I'll make it real simple for you. Get your own culture and stop stealing from those who actually have one. To me, english Canadians are comparable to parasites.
      You just apparently aren't aware that most of what you call "canadian culture" has been stolen from the francophones, including the name "Canadian". What's really cringe is that all you got is eh, aboot (oh yes, you say abOOt), "chesterfield" (lol wtf), being retarded english royal family groupies and "I'm NOT american 😭", yet somehow you manage to come up with trash like this ad. Really says everything about english canadian "culture".
      Also, constantly generalizing by saying "canadians" this "canadians" that for everything is incredibly hypocritical. Of course you're going to get called out on that bullshit.

It's about what's said in that ad that only applies to the english part of Canada as it claims to be speaking for the entirety of Canada. When I say the "english part of Canada", I mean those who consider themselves as subjects of the english crown, those who conquered our ancestors and tried to assimilate them for a couple centuries (and they're still trying today as you can clearly see, all while preaching "inclusion", "diversity" and similar shit like the hypocrites they are). Speaking english doesn't make you "english" but "the english" know exactly who they are and why they're called that, which is btw what they used to be called before stealing the name "Canadian" not even a hundred years ago.

    Not a commercial, but a clip from a hockey game from years ago when the microphone of the person singing the national anthems had a malfunction at the start of the American anthem, and the Canadian crowd sang the American anthem as a group. Because most countries don't expect an another countries people to know their anthem, this clip was played on the news all over America.

    The fridge commercials were clever. They gave you all the feels. There was also an Olympic version where these fridges were in the Olympic village, and they had to unlock the fridge not just with a passport but also had to say 'I am Canadian' in five different languages. It not only was patriotic, it was a show of multiculturalism as well.

    These commercials are so nostalgic for me! I think nearly every Canadian born in the 90s or earlier will have seen most of these, especially the rant commercial. It’s iconic here. Also, you were talking about hockey in one of your last videos. Many Canadians probably recognize some of the 70s hockey footage from the anthem commercial as the 72 Canada vs Russia series - even those of us who weren’t born until long after it happened. One more thing, yes we were known for log rolling and still have one of the largest lumber industries in the world. So many fun facts and proud moments all packed into short commercials!

      Yes, the things he says are things every Canadian has heard from Americans that are stereotypes but not true. When he says he doesn't know Billy, etc from Canada, it is because when Americans meet us, they might say, "I know someone named David in [Canadian city]. Do you know them?" That city may be miles away from where we live, and they may not even know the person's last name. In my experience, the rant is about comments Americans have made to Canadians. We have heard them all.

    Yay thanks so much for finally getting around to this video. The rant is iconic, somebody jokingly said that when you become Canadian that you have to take that pledge. I love the fridge commercials, they're great, there's a bunch of them. I also love the anthem it's a great song and yes shows many clips of Canadian culture. Thanks again for another great video, keep them coming, my name is Lala and I AM CANADIAN!!!

    Canadian viewers who are much older can attest that another Canadian beer company (Carling) had the best commercials on tv. Carling Red Cap Ale had a series of ads in 1960’s with the Red Cap anthem. Every Canadian knew the words and could sing along. Red cap flags flew from campsites and car antennas. These ads are all on CZcams and will blow away Canadians that weren’t around at the time

    • @cathywithac

  • @YogZab
    @YogZab Před 11 měsíci +1

    Look up the Log Drivers' Waltz.
    It is a classic Canadian folk song I believe from the 70s, written by a couple of classic Canadian icons, Kate & Anna McGarrigle.
    (One was married to Loudon Wainwright jr. And their son is Rufus Wainwright.)
    The Log Drivers Waltz was made into a beautiful animated short movie featuring the now-iconic song.
    Much of Canada as it is today was built on logging.

    You have made my day, Tyler. Joe's Rant is always a delight (actor is Jeff Douglas), there is a version done by William Shatner.
    Have not heard The Anthem in ages. The Canada-Russia hockey series in 1972 was a huge deal for us, the country essentially stopped for each game. The first set was in Canada, the second set was in Russia. Came down to a final goal by Paul Henderson and the country went wild. It began the influx of European players into our game and vice versa.
    The Beer Fridge Ads were a delight and the one where people have to say "I am Canadian" in several languages to get the fridge to open is a favourite.
    Your Budweiser ads with the Clydesdales is the closedt you have and those are pretty great, too.
    As for log burling, that was mostly from log driving in the Eastern forests, a bit different out here in the West

    Several references to the 1972 Summit Series you may not recognize. It was a Cold War era 8 game hockey challenge - Canada vs Russia. Technically the USSR. It was 4 games in each country. An epic moment in our history where sport merged with political ideals. It was like Democracy playing against Communism to prove systematic superiority.
    It was a very heated battle. At one point in Russia soldiers surround the Canadian bench with firearms. The players had to save the event organizer Alan Eagleson from being abducted. In hindsight we should have handed him over. He was the infamous lawyer that as a player agent stole a huge amount of money from the legendary superstar Bobby Orr.
    After game four in Vancouver, Phil Esposito’s personal rant to the fans was seen as the turning point in the eventual Canadian victory. He basically gave fans shit for booing them.
    The Russian team was literally a team of Russian soldiers. They were great players and it was 1972, the height of steroid misuse, so they were juiced to the max. They prepared for months for the challenge. The Canadian team on the other hand was led to believe it would be a cake walk and showed up in September out of shape after a summer of drinking beer and fishing. They had to dig deep to pull this one out.
    To many of us, taking on the USSR one on one was one of our most defining moments as a nation. I was in sixth grade at the time. The Games in Russia were on midday but they were played live in almost every school classroom in the country.

    Also, yeah you're actually spot on about the whole "if this fridge was put in America, it'd be smashed to bits." There was a little robot that relied on others to travel the world, like a little hitchhiker, I guess as a social experiment. Made its way allll across Canada but soon as it made its way into the states, I think it was found in bits and pieces left on the side of the road very shortly afterwards. Did NOT last long AT. ALL.
    Also there's another fridge ad where it only opens if enough people can say "I am Canadian" in different languages.

I was never a beer drinker but loved these commercials overall for the patriotic feelings evoked. Back when these were being aired, Molson Canadian and Labatt's Blue were the 2 most popular beers by the general masses. Most of these commercials were aired during Hockey Night in Canada, a very popular show with a high beer drinking viewer base. 🥰🇨🇦

    @NikkiBly Před 8 měsíci +1

    Ah, the feels with these! First off, The Rant. Yeah, it's definitely funny in its own right from a comedic aspect but up here in Canada it really does evoke a huge sense of patriotism in all of us who remember this when it first came out. I don't know how to explain it, but it's a thing to have it make you feel an overwhelming amount of Canadian patriotism to the point that it gives you chills. The Anthem, if you were in your bar scene of your life when this came out (which I was, my province has a legal age of 18) then it wasn't unheard of to have this song played at the bar and you couldn't even hear the music because we would all sing along to it so loudly and proudly. It sounds crazy as I write it, but it was a legit thing and I remember those moments so fondly. Holy boats, the nostalgia in watching these is so overwhelming, ha ha.
