Colin Mochries Apology to the USA

[Darkthought]

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United Stated of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.

He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we Feel your Pain.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side.

I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggresive way, which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this.

We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Thank you.

Colin Mockerie: This hour has 22 minutes.

He has got to be one of my favorite comics...I love his stuff on "Who's Line Is It Anyway?" the new and old ones. He and Ryan Stiles are great together

I miss "This hour has 22 minutes."

 

[Darkthought]

The mans ability to present the obvious in a comical way is untouched. It's hard to believe he went undiscovered for so long.

22 Minutes is sheer briliance most weeks.

Actually CBC's comedy Friday isn't half bad.. Has anyone watched "An American In Canada"? Very funny show!

 

[Medboy]

Was that a parody of the alliance party's apology to the US? Hehe.

*is reminded how much he hates the alliance party*

*is not longer feeling laughy. Is now feeling stabby*

*hates the alliance party SO MUCH!*

When I saw that apology a while back, it was credited to Rick Mercer, formerly of 22 Minutes. Does anyone know where to find the original source?

 

[Liontamr]

I don't think Rick had anything to do with it.. check out 22minutes.com and see the video clip for yourself.

That is the one thing I do miss, Mercer's 'editorials' that were shot in black and white usually in some industrial setting.

Rick's "rants" - he published a book of them. Quite good, yes.

Really?? I'll have to check it out.

When I first saw that clip on TV I thought of Rick in terms of "That's something Rick would put together" ... Especialy the part: "Hitler was different, we knew he had weapons"
