OK, Maybe Winnipeg Exists

[Titleist1818]

Perfectly executed video, from including two Kevin Spacey movies to ending with the Simpsons.

[Canada9990]

Number 9 north to GIMLI YEAAAAAA

[zandraplantyhose]

Haha oh god, I love how she wants to go to Winnipeg before New York.

[amethyst42]

Two references I can think of that were missed. One is in The Beverly Hillbillies, they're flying over Winnipeg, and someone suggests Ed Clampett buy the city. Also, in Murphy Brown, the team goes to a team-work workshop, and there's another team from a Winnipeg savings and loan, who gets jokes made at their expense as it was during the US S&L crises. Too bad we don't have S&Ls in Canada!

[pigjamelectric]

0:23 Never realized the Hoff had been acting so long

[JetpackMedia]

@pigjamelectric Are hassling the Hoff?

[praiseitem]

That was pretty cool, I think I seen that Simpson episode when Winnipe was mentioned.

[SpecialAgentRavage]

[AndrewRebel]

The Movie Santas Slay Mentioned Winnipeg So Did An Episode Of Magnum P.I

[aftermathmovieslite]

Hello

7 eleven ring a bell?

slurpee capital of the world!

[HitlersWetDream]

We were born here, what's your excuse.

[orville1960]

lol

[sabrina4everyourss]

I was born and raised in Winnipeg.Great City and the most friendly people you will ever meet.

[praiseitem]

I wasn't born here, but I call it home and very happy to do so. You gotta live here to get it.

[CanadianCalabo]

@sabrina4everyourss agreed, except the north side.

[tbacm]

@sabrina4everyourss you're kidding right

[phanteon198]

@sabrina4everyourss not unless you live in Jigtown...

[ajaaniajaa]

@sabrina4everyourss Even the drunk natives are friendly.

[dagnyjetties]

@ajaaniajaa Either you don't live in Winnipeg or you must live in a different Winnipeg then I do.

[ajaaniajaa]

@dagnyjetties Maybe I exaggerated that a little bit. I'll restate it: Some drunk natives are friendly. I live in North Winnipeg, by the way.

[dagnyjetties]

@ajaaniajaa Sometimes too friendly :P

[roxyusher]

They missed the Beverly Hillbillies episode when the Clampetts fly over Winnipeg

[ksfmiller]

Wasn' t there a reference on Murphy Brown?

[czwij]

royal albert arms.

[Dasyati]

There's an episode of Whose Line where they're playing "If You Know What I Mean" and Ryan Stiles says "someone had a layover in Winnipeg, if you know what I mean!"

[musiic4life]

OMG! They actually mention winnipeg in movies and tv shows??? Wow, i thought our city was like wayyyyy unknown, hah.

[SamusEric]

I got another one for you: In MadTV (The sketch show) there was a skit with Senors giving a report called "The 7 AM Report" and the senors were in Mexico getting a flu shot, they found out that Mexico had run out of them, the manager (I guess) said "Ok, there's no more Vaccinations, everyone on the bus we're going to Canada."

The last thing the Host (A Senor woman, played by Stephanie Weir) said "This concludes this episode of the 7 AM Report, next stop, WINNIPEG!"

That's a good one.

[cyfkilla]

The Newsroom does not count!

[JetpackMedia]

Oh, c'mon! Finkleman wrote and directed Airplane II! AND Grease 2. Though if there were Winnipeg references there it would have been better.

[cyfkilla]

I still stand by my comment.

[tiptiptapable]

where is the Newsroom supposed to take place in the story line? I'm guessing maybe Toronto?

[JetpackMedia]

Yes, Toronto.

[bootergonemad]

Great job on finding so many "Winnipeg" references.

[jrcasselman]

The three high rise office buildings in the Simpsons clip are near replicas of the three tallest buildings at Portage and Main.

[JCasR3]

it's true i work in downtown winnipeg and i can see the Pink one (thats actually brown) and the white one (thats grey) from my desk.... sadly if they were really in winnipeg and from that skyline view... they would be in St.Boniface which is the French district, I grew up in Winnipeg and i know they city like that back of my hand... that and it's really not that big lol

[jrcasselman]

I lived there from Sept. 1999 through Jan 2008. I do not miss it.

[BeachballOtaku]

lol thats cool. i dont know it that well. but i can honestly say i never thought i would see the words st.boniface on youtube.

[adriandeone]

I found one! well I was watching Arthur today (I was bored. I know, that's a bad excuse) but umm, it was an episode of Binky trying to rhyme. and it went along the lines;

"hey can I buy your eggs? my name is meg, and I am from Winnipeg"

something like that. it's pretty funny cause it's so cheesy!

[spreadtheawesome]

You don't need an excuse to watch Arthur! It's one of the greatest cartoons ever.

And that is funny. Viva la Winnipeg.

[Recreant456]

Don't think a series on the CBC qualifies as "Hollywood," but still think this is a cool video.

;)

[FourFingersPlusOne]

and i thought people didnt even care about winnipeg i love that city

[rypeTmato12]

[hawaii021]

[Shun101010]

i wonder if people ever mention brandon lol, even i forget about it and im in winnipeg.

[JetpackMedia]

I think Brandon is in the first line of Douglas Coupland's book, "Generation X"

[zandraplantyhose]

It actually is... but it's funny, the line is about the character flying into Brandon on a 747 when he was 17, but Brandon doesn't have a proper airport... no way would a 747 land there.

[TopazSkillMauler]

i live in winnipeg!

[chadzorz]

"Welcome to Winnipeg, we were born here, what's your excuse?" So true!!! and wtf is the Huntsman??

[theryanfawcett]

I just saw another one on the Sopranos. Tony and Bobby meet up with some French Canadians, and one of them wants his sister's ex-boyfriend offed. He's "some drummer from Winnipeg".

[dkkendall]

Nobody goes to The Huntsman.

[CromwellDamuuga]

Fantastic! Volume 2 is as enjoyable as volume 1

[JetpackMedia]

That's because Winnipeg IS a great city.

[Ryguy1450]

Hey, are there jobs for us media people? I know FCP and some AE and love to shoot films and work on a/v stuff. Anything in that realm? What's the job market like?
