Default Mid-Winter Chuckle

Now deep in the heart of winter perhaps we Canadians can share a bit of introspective humour with the rest. Below are three clips from Montreal’s comedy duo ‘Bowser & Blue’.
Whether you’re freezing in Toronto, covered by a sheet of ice in Kentucky, or fighting fires with your perspiration in Australia, perhaps we could all use a mid-winter chuckle.

I’m Glad I Live In Canada


Canadian Culture


Listen for Lightfoot reference at 1:16

Praise To The Colo-Rectal Surgeon


(nothing dirty but those with delicate sensibilities may wish to pass)

Bowser & Blue have another skit poking fun at our bilingual culture. In comparing the English language to the French, Rick Blue claims that English is better because the words are easier to enunciate to which George Bowser replies “Gordon Lightfoot hasn’t enunciated in some forty years!” ….and follows with a short imitation of Gord singing. - Couldn’t find a clip of that skit.

I think that I can remember hearing some of their material on the old Doctor Demento Show some time back. They could really make a person sit up & take notice.
