  A brief history of Canadian Comedy

  Canada is known for a few things: Poutine, Hockey, Politeness, Beer and Comedy {Ed note: Also formerly known for progressive environmental policy}. In fact, Canadians take great pride in seeing Canucks' comedic creations take off in the States and there have indeed been a few pieces of filmed entertainment which built cult-like audiences of Americans.

  In case you've been in lock-up for the past year, here's a Review of Countdown to Liquor Day and the Trailer: Along with these reprobates from Nova Scotia, here are a few ideas to shake your brain, but you will be graded on originality as well as awesomeness so put on your thinking toque and choose wisely.

  [/caption] Kids in the Hall - Nerdcore comedy troupe taught you the joys of squishing heads, cross-dressing and Brain Candy. Now the Kids are returning to CBC with Death Comes to Town, plus 2 Kids (Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald) are in development for a TV show about a 80s New Wave band reuniting in current times

  SCTV - Like Saturday Night Live except without the cheesy guest hosts who usually stink up the place. This fictional TV network's shows launched careers of Martin Short, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, Joe Flatherty ... if you don't know who these guys are, you're disqualified - PS Hey SNL, you're welcome for Mike Myers and Dan Ackroyd

  Bob and Doug - It's worth noting among the classic sketches from SCTV was Bob and Doug McKenzie - originally made to fill time and make fun of stereotypes, these affable hosers made the classic movie Strange Brew and became the most famous Canadian ambassadors until Jason Priestly & Michael J Fox took over - guess the torch now goes to Seth Rogen and Ryan Reynolds

  Canadian Bacon - Before Michael Moore was a super-famous documentary lightning rod, he made an odd-ball comedy with a who's-who of Canadians and those who want to be. Joining Mssrs. Candy and Ackroyd were Alan Alda as the US President reluctantly seeking a new enemy and Carla from Cheers as a gun-lovin renegade cop. ]

  The Beachcombers - Not exactly a comedy but once you see Greek-Canadian leading man Bruno Gerussi's chest hair and medalion, you'll be laughing. He was the everyday hero in small town coastal town of Gibsons - Not saying Northern Exposure was a rip off, just that it is oddly similar and not as good. Note: Still huuuge in Germany - as big as the Hoff anyhow

  Degrassi Junior High - Saved by the Bell/90210 but in a pleasant after-school special kinda way - overshadowed by 21 Jump Street which was almost entirely Canadian except for whatshisname ... Depp something .. ahh he'll never amount to anything

  Bonus: This Hour has 22 Minutes/Rick Mercer Report - While fascainated by the glamour and infidelity of US politics, the northerners also enjoy reflecting their own civil situations in Daily Show-like format - cynical = yes, funny = usually.

  Need more? Rumors say that Canadians Jim Carrey, William Shatner and James Cameron are pooling their money to actually buy the entire country - stay tuned for details. And, for the record we have formally voted Celine Dion off the island and the Canadian government has apologized for Bryan Adams on numerous occasions. Finally Terrance and Phillip of South Park fame are still roaming the frozen north in relative anonymity.

  Just in time for Christmas, Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day releases on DVD December 22nd, 2009. 
  
  In this final installment of the Trailer Park Boys franchise, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are about to get out of jail, and this time, Julian vows to go straight, even open a legit business. Soon the Boys will all be rich. At least that's what they've told the parole board. But when they arrive back at the park, they find it's not the same old Sunnyvale - and it's not the same old Jim Lahey, Trailer Park Supervisor. Lahey's a new man, hasn't had a drink for two years. And he has plans - BIG PLANS - for Sunnyvale. But unfortunately for Lahey, Julian stands in his way. With his big plans for Sunnyvale going down the toilet, his relationship with Randy broken down, and the Boys being back in the park, the stress becomes too much for him to bear. For Jim Lahey, the countdown to liquor day is on. Meanwhile, Julian's having problems of his own and the Boys are forced to resort to doing what they know best - breaking the law. Lahey's descent into the liquor coupled with the Boys descent into crime puts them all on a collision course to mayhem and destruction.
