[nephythis]

creepy they predicted/invented the iPod.

[garycalgary]

no wonder people hated the CBC in the younger days......

[qabramq]

i completely forgot about this one until it started. then i was in hysterics.

[El135o]

ooo, look at all the Jewish-sounding store names! Je suis desolee ...

It's like Benny Hill--you couldn't get away with it on TV today. There are too many militant young'uns about trying to control what makes us giggle ...

[kiaser111]

unconteur, OMG usually the rest of us in CANADA are LUMPED under the same name ENGLISH PIG DOG SCUM! I do not feel I am pleased with having to pay more money for things out-side of Gaybec to make you french feel superior ! A French navy commander said recently at a NATO meeting "All we do at these meetings is speak ENGLISH you should all learn a secound language" A Dutch commander remaked " if it was not for the ENGLISH all of us would be speaking GERMAN as a secound language " so PISS OFF FROG

What's with all the -berg names in the last 3s? I'm not sure I love what that is driving at in an NFB film. Otherwise, this is a total gem.

[NavinJohnson90]

You saying Jewish people can't own stores? You goddamn sexist

[unconteur]

oh my god, I'm just surprised they actually pointed out variants in francophone accents. Usually we're just all slumped under the same name : French.

I don't know if I'm pleased or displeased with this bid, it's an ambiguous feeling :P

[wilce]

LOL I haven't seen this one in ages. I miss the days when the NFB would just toss stuff like this in the middle of commercial breaks whenever they felt like it.

[pomomatthew]

This is true comedy. I love commercial parodies because they manage to give you 30 seconds back in humour that the commercial it likely mocked originally took away.
