BOB DYLAN'S ROCKIN OUT!
Now, seriously. From TV to these boards, it seems Canada is the worlds whipping boy. We abuse our neighbor to the north so much.
Why?

I actually just made fun of Canada in "The End?" without even realizing it.
It has become like breathing in American culture, and abroad too.

And we, the Norwegians, do the same to the sweeds. Sweed jokes are some of the most common jokes in Norway, they are jokes where the sweed is portraid as stupid, the norwegian is portraid as smart, and often there is a danish person portraid as average/ok.

I think the Americans see Canada as somekind of a litte brother - someone with similar "parents" (British colonies), an ally in times of need (world wars for example), but on the same time also someone smaller with way less power and influence... But that' just the view of an outsider, and I don't really know everything about it.

I think you are right G-Man.
We make fun of Canada b/c we love them...or something like that.
To quote a show on Adult Swim: "We could go out with his friend. Although I don't know how much fun she'll be. She's dead. And Canadian."
Or the Simpsons, with Candian Graffitti:
"Follow the rules!"

Probably true. Norwegians and norwegian media often refer to Sweden as "søta bror" which is swedish and means "sweet brother"

Don't think so, the way it is going...
Cause we're the only ones who
won't throw a juvenile politically
correct fit about it.
I DON'T resent it. Cause it's comin'
from our friends, I enjoy a witty shot
from my friends. I like dishin' out
a few myself.
Edit: Except Quebec, they'll throw a tantrum.
Edit2: Maybe a very small part of newfoundland too.

Edit3: And don't ever say anything bad about Manitoba to a Manitoban. But the rest of us? Do we mind a thread picking on us? Hell, we're just happy to have the rare pleasure of the world's attention

The intention of this thread was not to be a forum for Canadian jokes, but it seems to have become that. Probably because of my Simpsons and Adult Swim quotes. Whatever.
Edit: Deleted a stupid comment that made no sense.

We Canadians Honestly hold most Americans in a state of slight contempt, we're sick and tired of you. Your like a big drunk elephant at a party and we're the mouse who lives next door. Most Canadians think of Americans as slow, self centred, arrogant, power hungry, ignorant, jingoistic, and in some cases....horribly inbred. Of course these are all sterotypes but we're going to keep them until you stop believing Canada is a vast fozen depository of beer and igaloos. But we Canadians can take a joke,
Here's one about Newfoundlanders or Newfies and there called around these neck of the woods (I'm going to get angry letters from Cornmaster now)
"Two Newfies are in a plane and are taking an approximatly 1 hour flight to Toronto when suddenly theres a loud explosion on the plane, the pilot goes on the speakers and said that they are having 'technical difficulties' and engine and will be arriving 30 mins late, a bit later another explsion on the plane is heard and the pilot goes on the speaker angain and says, we are having 'techinical difficulties' with engine #2 and they will now be an hour late conbined with the time lost with the first engine, later the 3 engine gives out and once agian the pilot goes on and says that there are problems with the 3rd engine and will now be 1h and 30min late now in total, so one newfie leans over to the other and says 'If we lose the 4th engine we're going to be 2 hours late'"
here's a general one
"An American, A Scotsman and a Canadian are driving in a car but get into a anwful accident, so then they reach the pearly gates and are surpirsed there is a $200 fee to have a second chance and go back to the land of the living, the American promptly pays up the cash and is returned unharmed beside the scene of the accident. When Interviewed and asked what he saw last he replies 'Last thing I saw was the Scormans haggling over the price and the Canadian saying his government should pay it for him"...and to conclude Canadian jokes are long winded and pointless!
