Like Absolutely fabulous and crappy improv gameshows, they started the whole freaking improv craze. The weakest link is another great example. So is survivor, another CRAPTASTIC game show from England. And one more thing: Canada always and I mean ALWAYS gives America hockey players with superhuuman, nay, god like, abilities. Canada is just so damn nice to America and everyone in general.

"Englanders(most of 'em,anyway) are annoying and enjoy silly not funny shows like any show with a brit with a thick accent in it. Eh, do you see what i mean here, Eh. a canadian accent is funny and quaint, while most other accents are annoying. One more thing Canada, USA's neighbor to thenorth has going for!"

Not that i get offended by your un-offensive insults but...your Canadian...nuff said.

Statikkk, could you be a bit more close-minded and bigoted? Things have been pretty quiet on the forums, and I think we need to get a good flame war going, but no one seems to really be taking offense. I don't think it would take too much more effort on your part to really piss some people off; it seems to come naturally to you.

Do you want to know what America seems to think of the Queen Mother's death?

This was on the Muppets Website, for crying out loud!

Now, to nitpick Statikk...

I don't know what improv is, but I assume you mean ad libbing, which is the best and oldest sort of comedy there is in existance. The best comedians are the ones that are given a subject and can make good jokes about it.

All gameshows are garbage, I'll give you that.

As for Absolutely Fabulous, you obviously haven't paid attention...it is titularly correct.

You seem to be defending the English by insulting them. Or is it the other way around?

Could you give me an example of a show that is silly but not funny? Apart from the latest Simpsons episodes?

So you're defending these people with thick accents by insulting more people with thick accents, then going on to insult everyone in the world who doesn't have a Canadian accent. Not a good move, since there are an aweful lot of people here that don't have a Canadian accent, and they don't necessarily get rid of their anger through wit, either.

We just have Royalty without the frigging.

I dont get that Muppet joke...is it supposed to be complimentry or insulting?

Yes, but it has the major disadvantage that it is full of Canadians...

Canada has yet to produce one televisual work of comedy good enough to cross the Atlantic. The USA itself had only had three (Cheers, Frasier, and Seinfeld). And yet England has produced too many works of comedic genius to count. You can't disagree with the figures...

If you like, we could play "Count the crappy shows that spawned from North America"... Or "Count the number of proffessional hockey players that anyone with a brain cell in their head gives a damn about"...

Yes, and I bet your Racial Slurs are vital to prolonging that image, yes?

i was really sad when i heard the news especially since i am part british.

oh well at least she be back with her husband, a widow no more.


Fare thee well...:(

Alrighty, thou who has mocked the great game of Lord Stanley(A cool brit, their is always an excetpion) and made me incite the name of thy gret pale skinned Uber God of hockey, the one, the only WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE GRETZKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey's pretty god, dontcha think EY!!!!! Hockey is cool. soccer isn't 'Nuff said. Also, not to leave out other demigods, a shout out to Paul coffey, Dreydan, The dominator, Hull, maurice the rocket, Modano, sakic, forsberg and Wa is in order.Apologies to the many illuminaries I didn't mention.

And how do I use racial slurs Danny. Is damn a racial slur?

How about these:

So sux is a racial slur? Can only brits suck? What about beaners, water rats, chinks, gooks, ghosts, spics, spades, dago jagoffs, japs, russkys and fishbellies, can't they suck? and brit is a slur? I must be missing something. If you object so vehemently to theword brit I will write great britainite every time I mention someone from Great Britain.

You're pathetic.

Don't play innocent; even you're not as much of a moron as you're pretending to be. You said bad things about British people. That is a racial slur. It doesn't take a British person to work that out...

Hey, sorry about saying all of that stuff about britain. but britain does some crappy stuff, like america. So Great Britain is a race, right? No. i think you mean anglo saxon. I am anglo saxon, so why would I racially slur myself.

Don't act stupid. Saying nasty things about the British is as much of a Racial Slur as saying nasty things about the French, or the Mexicans, or any other country.

Tsk tsk tsk. I leave the forums for three days, and look what it all dissolves into. Does it... yes, it does, deserve another tsk, indeed.

Okay, way too many entries to quote individually, so here is my outlook on basically everything important that has been said-

1- Britain and the US are like best friends in highschool- we scuffle and fight sometimes, but it's all in good fun, and when there's something important going on (both world wars, etc), we look out for eachother. That's what's important, not who can make the wittiest comedies (Britain) or who builds better economic cars (US).

2- Canada is like the US's little brother- we do respect you guys, even though we don't show it very well, and are usually happy to have you along on our various adventures to the middle east and such. Yes, you guys have the monopoly on producing good hockey players (congrats on the olympics, you deserve it), but they all come down here for the money, so it's hard to say.

3- What do you mean, Canada hasn't produced a good trans-atlantic comedy program? Kids in the Hall was wildly popular in Norway and Germany when it was still on CBS here. I don't know if it ever got very big in the UK, but you aren't the only nation in europe, remember?

4- Uh, it's spelled Roy, not Wa. Patrick Roy. Prounounced Wa, but spelled Roy. He's Quebecquois, which is another international conflict in and of itself, so I'll avoid it for now.

5- That muppet joke about the queen mum was just a simple pun, and it was used on an old episode of the muppet show, about twenty years ago, so don't take it too personally.

6- British comedies crappy? Hello!? Go buy the DVD of Fawlty Towers, right now! NOW! It's the funniest show ever to flicker across a television screen, no hands down. And, of course, like all the greatest shows of all time, there are only about 12 episodes.

7- Improv comedy can be good. Whose Line is it Anyway, the show I'm pretty sure you guys are talking about, WAS good for the thirteen or so seasons it was hosted by Clive Anderson, first in the UK and then in Hollywood, but once it got turned over the Drew Carey and ABC, and they stopped having a balance of British and American performers, it went to pot. That was always the beauty of it- too many americans was goofy and immature, too many brits was wordy and boring, but a good mix of two and two- like Ryan Stiles and Brad Sherwood (US) teamed up with Jocie Lawrence and Caroline Quenton (UK), or, my personal favorites, Mike McShane and Greg Proops (US) with Tony Slattery and Steve Frost (UK), was incredible. Plus, once again, Canada proves itself just as worthy, with Collin Mochrie! When it all worked, it was a thing of comic genius.

8- Yes, game shows are pretty crappy

9- To be a racial slur, one must be commenting on a race. "British" is not a race, it is a nationality. An anti british generalization would be more of an ethnic slur, or, even more precisely, a prejudicial nationality statement. See how stupid and banal I can make this? WhooooooOOOOoooo, fun.

And 10- When anybody dies, it's important to mourn if you need to, if the person was important to you and you require time and expression to help deal with the loss, and it's equally important to honor other's rights to mourn, even if you yourself are not going to. When Ex presidents die here, we mourn, and I'm sure others might think we go a little over the top, but they respect our loss, give us space and time, and the world moves on.

Quite...but Americans still hate Canada...HAR-HAR-HAR!! (Immaturity!!)

That statement is completely and utterly untrue.

Which is why i put 'HAR-HAR-HAR (Immaturity)'

Doug...did you know that over 75% of Americans were fat?

What is with all the fat comments, Jacob. I don't seem to get the connection between this topic and fatness. The analogy with U.S. and Britain as highschoolers is right on the money, Big D. (You know who you are:)) some british comedy is good, like the original whose line comparde to the american version. colin mockery is the SHIT! I only wish both whose lines would utilize Greg proops a little more!

I'm just seeing if Doug takes that seriously, as he does with everything else i put.

How was I to know that "HAR-HAR-HAR (Immaturity)" meant that you were making a joke rather than expressing your delight in your own bigotry? If you persist in speaking a language that no one else understands, your fate is that you will be misunderstood.

I will hereafter ignore you, which is the treatment that your rambling and incoherent -- not to mention frequently nasty -- posts deserve.

Since i dont know your true age i will put YOUR behavior down to you being a immature 10 year old. Of course, the use of language defeat that un-calculated prediction and therefore i have to conclude your a stuck up adult who judges someone through the OBVIOUS snide comments they make. I would also like to point out to you that not even Stadikk commented on the Canadian remark...just goes to show, people call Stad but...heh...we have you there aswell.

*Drips with Snide and Bitterness*

(That was just incase you thought i was being aggressive...which i wasn't.)

Also, it is kinda hard to put tones of voice on a read-only forum. Otherwise you would have noted my non-serious remark about the Canadians. Sure, the Americans have digs at them for humour...which i quite funny. But still...thats only 90% of the Yanks...im sure the other 10% enjoy the Canadians...erm...company?

EDIT: Also, im not a bigot thankyou very much. It's not my fault you have to have Dan come and translate most of the things i say for you, and state what i actually mean by them.

Everyone is a bigot in their own unique right, you can't lambaste someone without thinking to yourselves how bad YOU really are. for example, when Norton speaks about immigration in american History X, I was not terrified at his views so much as how i found myself nodding in agreement, amazed at how elequently one can make such a distasteful arguement. Their are two sides to every story, you know, and we pick the one most palatable. In affect, our ability to judge without baggage is nonexsistant.

Japanese and German cars outperform both British and American ones...

Faulty Towers, Monty Python, Blackadder, Black Books, Father Ted (Irish is almost British), Big Train, Smack the Pony, Have I Get News For You, Trigger Happy TV, If I Ruled the World, not to mention our fantastic radio comedies like I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, the News Quiz, Just a Minute, the Motion Show, the Now Show, etc...

The list goes on and on... ;)

You and your goddamned dictionary...

***

Chris, stop trying to provoke Doug.
Doug, stop being provoked by Chris.

I honestly believe that I am not a Bigot. You can tell me I'm fooling myself, but the only people I am prejudiced against are Prejudiced People...

Sheesh, and this was supposed to be a brief (or not-so brief, but you get the idea) topic just to express a little sorrow at the queen Mum's death. Why do you lot have to turn everything into an argument?

Yeah, because you're such a great ambassador to your country, Stattik. *rolls eyes*

We're getting back to the "x is better that y" arguments, here. Can we all just shut up, now?

No way! Y is way better than x!

Your probably a peace-ful soul and for that i pity you...but please...dont tell us to calm down. I, for one, feast off the aggression of others.

You seem to have had a lil typo. I believe you mean:

'Doug, stop trying to provoke Chris also'

And i aint trying to provoke him. But from now on, im going to point out what my tone of voice is when i say...ahem:

"Doug...i really do adore you. Infact, i love you."

(Sarcasm...unless your some Ryan Phillippe/Sarah Michelle Geller look-a-like.)

Speak for your ****ing self!

You: Bigot
Hitler: Bigot
Member of BNP, NF, KKK, etc: Bigot
Me: Not bigot
Dan: Not bigot
Any other reasonable person: Not bigot

Now, I'm not trying to compare you to Hitler ... Much


Speaking of Hitler, there's an idiot in my English class who thinks Hitler was a good person/idolises him. I want a sytem in place which stops children being made evil by bad carers.

Although Hitler was a bastard he was a great leader. He was basically looking out for the Germans and trying to help them in the long run. Thats why he wanted a Aeryn race, so they would all be 'Pure' and any impurities (Non-Aeryns.) would be stamped out as it were. Hitler was a bastard thought...unfortunatly he shot himself before us brits got a hold of him...since we did most of the fighting:D.
