  • eh im proud of my loony XD

  • what no tooney jaokes lol this is funny now if only americans could take a joke we could all have good times laughing

  • TOONIE TUESDAY FTW!!!! :) 

  • the loonie was supposed to be called the woodie or voyager because the initial dies for the coin had a wooden canoe on it.

  • Canadians, Americans.............we're both in the same fuckin' continent! At least be happy that we're fighting side-by-side! Rush rules, by the way.

  • usa = canadas mexico

  • its funny, cause right now the canadian dollar is worth more than the US dollar..

  • @MrShane737 ummm, its actually not. Remember, Google is your friend ;)

  • @rossapher24 Where have you been looking? The Canadian dollar has been worth more than the American since December. Even now, 1 Canadian dollar = 1.0126 American dollars. Maybe you have them mixed up?

  • @rossapher24 i second what Pureownage1 is saying, the canadian dollar is curently 1.01 us dollars, i think you put the numbers in backwards you ignorant and cocky hick.

  • @AnarchyRuLeZ88 Nobody wants to hear you, troll. Nobody likes your kind so get back down in ur mom's basement.

  • Haters gonna hate. And I'm gonna laugh.

  • you can make fun of our loonie all you want, its worth more than your $1 bill

  • @AnarchyRuLeZ88 It's not a fact, it's your opinion. There's a difference, y'know.

  • a bill of 1 dolllar ..... = the most retarded thing ever created !

  • @AnarchyRuLeZ88 Why are you watching this then? Go ahead and troll your opinion here, just know that almost everybody here isn't gonna give a flying fuck about you.

  • he needs some loonies shoved up his ass!!

  • @SHOCKER331

    And you need to chill out and take a joke.

  • the loonie is UP!!-DUMBASS!-the american buck is DOWN!

  • @SHOCKER331

    I sincerely hope you are not serious in calling Robin Williams a dumbass and that you realise this is from years ago. If not feel free to lie and pretend you did, now that you know that Robin Williams isn't the dumbass here...

  • Was this performance in Canada? It looks like he borrowed a shirt from Ricky!

  • @fireupatree coins were way before bills so actually the correct statement would be bring back the coins get rid of the change

  • LOL! iv always wanted to punch the gold part out of a toonie!!

  • Why does it matter what our money is called or what form it comes in? In Japan its called Yen. In Europe its called a Euro. In Great Britian its called a Pound or a Pound Serlling. Like why does it matter. Everyone is just so hung up on how different Canadian and American money is, or which one is better. Honestly, it doesn't matter. In Austrlia the money is kind of rubbery, but no one says, "oh, well that's just not right." so just relax please.

  • Honestly why does it really matter, what the money is called? in Japan its called Yen. In Europe its called a Euro and in Breat Britian its called a Pound or a Pound Serlling. Like why is everyone so hung up on how Canadian and American money is different? In Australia the money is kinda rubbery. No one says, "Oh, that's not right:" Everyone should just stop worrying.

  • the loonie and toonie is just what the media calls it. its really just a $1 coin, or a $2 coin

  • needs more water bottles. 

  • stupid canadians, i blame them for everthing.....XD

  • bring back the bills get rid of all all the change!!!!

  • Is it just me or does Robin Williams have this remarkable talent to making fun of people without offending them...?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm canadian and find this very hilarious

  • He is known for his improvisational skills and impersonations

  • USA will never be able to pay us back the money they owe us. Freaging fat pudgy buggers, they are so poor

  • @juzu4me Okay, guy seriously. I'm Canadian and it's Canadians like you that give the rest of us a bad name. Stop it.

  • @marvo101Oh quit whining and move south

  • @juzu4me No I'm good, I'm just going stay here and make fun of oversensitive pricks like you. Later, Buddy!.

  • @marvo101 Telling me to be polite to our southern neighbours is making fun of me? Well you're stupid as well as a whiner. That is a sad, sad combo.

  • @juzu4me Wasn't directed towards you, I'm just saying I like making fun of oversensitive pricks. I can make fun of you if you'd like.

  • @marvo101 You sound a tad touchy yourself. Your 'roids ballooning or something?

  • Why are you geeks still fighting about this? Robin is a comedian...and in case you didn't notice, he makes fun of everyone, including his fellow Americans. Then again, you're probably a bunch of 15 year old Canadian internet commandos...

  • @ryan7164 shut up ya fat damn american and go fill your pants full of feces

  • I am canadian, and this is hilarious

  • Jeez, enough with the debates, we watch these videos to have a laugh, not think about the crap everyone keeps bad-mouthing at other people.

  • Americans owe Canada BILLIONS. Maybe Robbin's fat american ass could help pay that back?

  • @juzu4me And I guess one day when Canada owes America BILLIONS your fat ass will help pay that back too? Stick it back up your mouth and keep it there.

  • @bridaco why would Canada ever owe America billions? Our trade surplus with USA was 57 BILLION in '08....that is a lot of freaking money you owe us. Get your fat caboose to work and get a second job, fatty....because you owe me a lot of money

  • @bridaco u guys owe mexico money...and china 3 trillion dollars...like what kind of idiot country owes 3 trillion dollars?

  • @fabfashionista13 the wankers will never pay it back and they are to powerfull for anybody to even attempt recovery all the holy wars america is fighting in the name of liberation and so called freedom the mony has to come from somewhere.

  • @fabfashionista13 u guys owe mexico money...and china 3 trillion dollars...like what kind of idiot country owes 3 trillion dollars?

    a country with a black president LMAO omg hahahahahahahah ok there i said it. i couldn't resist. hahahahahah. jk ppl, don't kill me via internet lol

  • @hockeyplaya44 Not cool dude. Obama is awesome. he's a hell of a lot better than Bush.

  • @ThePurpleMonkeyNinja eh...they have the same polictical views, obama carried on everything that bush started. he's no different, and the nation has lost faith in him.

  • @bridaco Yeah dude, you got it backwards, the states' debt is over 8 trillion USD. Canada is like 800 billion... The US owes Canada 47 Billion... Plus, who is your number one import for gas? Oh ya, that's right, it's CANADA! So, shut up, go fill up your gas tank with the Canadian gas your country bought from us, and put more money in our wallets will ya? Thanks, I'll be enjoying my free healthcare... LOL

  • Who is Robbin Williams? The fat fucker sure aint funny like he thinks he is. He's what, 80?

  • Without Canada the USA would be sucking up to Mexico and begging them for money, oil and soldiers. Got a message for you America: just keep your smell to yourself

  • No americans say anything now cause now that canadian money is at par and we dont owe a 10000000000000000$

  • How about everyone just shut up (Canadian and American), unclench their buttcheeks, and laugh? 

  • @ryan7164 Um arguing is one of the joys of life. Fuck off.

  • @MajBlood Hurr durrr my name is MajBlood and I'm a stupid kid who likes to try and pick fights over stupid shit on the Internet.....durrrrrrr

  • @ Zardoz99 are you kidding me, there are many Canadians that are well known for their talent throughout the wotld. Celine Dionne, Mike Myers, and Jim Carey are just a few famous and talented Canadians

  • @PaddySnuffles Well you know the problem is not lack of potential from our rich resources, the problem is a lack of love and respect for Canada's potential from our own politicians. They don't really LIKE this country, so time and again the decision mad e is whatever is easy and a fast fix. There is the mentality things will go well enough if we sell short, if we sell out the Canadian Future.

  • Canada's mainstream pop bands are a joke. All real musicians know this. We had good ones in the 70's and 80's. Nickleback is Canadian, how embarassing. We have great jazz and classical musicians. I hate when bands refer to themselves as artists This usually means there crap.

  • well, pop bands by definition tend to be the cheesier blend-to-the-rest. there are some good nationally known bands though... TheArrogant Worms, Great Big Sea... but i know what you mean. : )

  • @E0N7 Nickleback is awesome.

  • 1c = penny

    5c = nickle

    10c = dime

    25c = quarter

    1$ = Loonie

    2$ = Toonie

    cash = cash

    simple.

  • too funny.

    Cultural reference to the fact that our $1 coin has a Loon bird on the tails side.

    Our $2 coin is called a... Twonie by extension.

  • METRIC is a freakin good canadian band...and there is so much more ! just look for them and youll find such great music out there

  • Canada has such a good music scene... honestly!! So down to earth and just... incredible! I can't say enough.

  • He has a Summer place on our island. Once in a while he can be seen strolling through town.

  • he lives in San Francisco though, I've seen him many times and been to him house on Halloween

  • He also has a nice home on our island as well. There was an interesting piece in our local paper about Robin a few years ago.

  • That clip was jokes, but for all the people on here talking shit about Canadian music, they can go fuck themselves... aside from the typical mainstream artists everyone knows and has mentioned on here there's so many great underground bands, or at least not-as-main-stream... Alexisonfire was awsome (still okay), Cancer Bats, The Gorgeous, The Woods Are Burning... those bands are sooo bad ass

  • thats all you could list for good canadian bands? you listed some of the worst (and also mainstream) ones and completely neglected ones like rush, neil young, and underground ones like unexpect, woods of ypres, profugus mortis, annihilator, mastery, etc.

  • I love how he uses the voice of daffy duck from LOONEY tunes XD, I love the name of our 1$ coin =]

  • Lol im American and i hate the country for the most part. Im seriously considering moveing to either Alaska (for the most part out of the states) , Canada (supposed to be relly calm there) or Germany (they havent relly gotten into a war since we owned them but...) anyway yeah I guess the problem is I love america, but i hate how its run, and most of the people in it.

  • lol, you didn't own them, we almost lost; and why are you saying you, do you really think america alone could've beat the nazi regime back in the 40's, i think not.

  • Canada, the nation of champions, better beer, better, weed, terrible televison..ok but we have canadian idol...oh wait we dont it got cancled, but we have a great economy!, no no that has gone down with the american one, but! we have a great leader....no never mind hes just a robot who's still dry humping Bush's leg like a puppy, well we do have our tim hortons... so yeah Canada the nation of Champions, and cafine addicted hockey moms..

  • lol, but its great country.

  • everyone has a different thoughts about things and were fighting over Robyn Williams making a joke on Canada.But its just a fucking loonie guys like seriously who cares lol and its Robyn Williams he makes fun of other things to....I want to say this I am Canadian

  • Try to see how OTHERS feel. You've all lived your own lives, you have viewed the world in one perspective. Take a glimpse outside all that. Please. And don't stab at each other's cultural beliefs! Goodness! We all have our ideas, our own opinions, and it hurts just as much when we get those poked at. Respect people! As the saying goes, 'What goes around comes around, that's Karma baby!' No wonder we're all in crisis! -_-

  • I for one respect all the cultural differences out there. That's diversity people! That's how science has increased, with all sorts of ideas ROOTED from other cultures.

    Think before you speak! All these biased comments just prove that we can't seem to get along no matter what. I'm sorry, but we all won't get anywhere far if we keep talking like this to each other.

  • Holy Shit, people! I can't believe half the stuff I am reading! I have read many a thing or two stereotypical thing, but this is just insane! I can't believe how people can get so worked up over one small joke. Sure, he took a crack at Canadian money, so what? Sure it was offensive, but have you actually LISTENED to half the comedians out there? It really ticks me off that we all cannot seem to take a glimpse at each other's lives, and even though I haven't been out of North America.

  • problem with America is that they all are scared from foreigners but when you look at it from another angle.. they all are foreigners themselfs, took the land from native Americans and claimed it as there own.

    I think it's the soil around there, it makes people retarted

  • why do you have to say something like this? I'm an American who loves Canada! Don't you realize that our culture is very similar?

  • Im French Canadian Newfy

    Always gotta put up with people saying "Dude Canadians are Gay 'EH?'" ONLY MOUNTIES SAY THAT! And Newfoundlanders Eat Fish Heads? And say By to refer to people or end it at a sentence... "Hay That girl is Haaawt!!!" "Naw By..!"

    ...im Pure Canadian And Newfy...I HATE HOCKEY!!! (My school never shuts up about the Cup winner) but yeah... I HATE FISH!!! So what? were a small population BUT AT LEASE WE DIDNT INVADE IRAQ OVER FALSE CLAIMS OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!

  • PEACE

  • Interesting. people on internet arguing is like winning in the special olympics. your still retarted in the end. lmao.

    i love canada...and im american. i have no quarrel. whats so bad about it? they have great beer and some good bands.

  • Yeah April Wine really sucks.

    Idiot.

  • what are you talking about?? rush rocks!!

  • wow man youre actually retarted

    neil young, leonard cohen, joni mitchell, bto, the guess who, and lets not forget THE BAND are all fucking canadian...even today the joel plaskett emergency are alright

    but rush does suck...neil peart couldn't hold a candle to the average jazz drummer

  • The Guess Who are so old, everyone else you've mentioned is pretty boring in my opinion. "Joni Mitchell concert?? Leonard Cohen?? Oh yeah!  My parents are going to those shows!!!" Neil Young is great, but he's one guy. He doesn't really have a band behind him that actually matters.

    I'll even admit, Our Lady Peace was great til they changed producers and guitarists back in the early 00's. I used to love them as a pre-teen.

    I have no favourite bands that are Canadian.

  • rush doesnt suck what so ever

  • @NegATivebOOzE and they have pigs ass parts as bacon =D and nothing wrong ever happens (or at least you dont hear about it) so that gives you a palce to go =D Canada FTW

  • @NegATivebOOzE haha the top musicians in the states are Drake and Justin Beiber, both Canadian. You big fat monsters love everything about us.

  • @juzu4me There is nothing to be proud in that statement. Both are media grubbing whores. They don't know a damn thing about real music. Cheers from Alberta, have a good one.

  • Robbin Williams is a comedic genious but this is just a comedic sketch... nothing to be taken seriously. The unfortunate thing is reading the comments that people make. It is also unfair to hear Americans post cruel and vile comments about their neighbors (being Canadians). We may not have the same currency or the same culture but we are respected in the world and we are PROUD of that. Rather than attacking each other with useless words we should be more respectful to one another.

  • my goodness.... people its a joke, he's a comedian, its what he does. Get over it!!

  • Out (Canadian) money is monopoly money.. i don't know why but i really like the feeling of American bills in my hands, gives you sense of REAL bills...

  • REAL bills? Canada has REAL bills, how do you think i pay for internet?

    Yours are all green and smelly

  • Really? That's weird. American money looks fake to me. It's all the same colour. It's like cheap mass-produced board-game money. All those $1 bills get mixed up with the real money too. Why make bills for such a small amount of money? Plus make them the same colour as the other bills? It makes no sense. What's "out money"? Then there's the weird Masonic symbolism. What are they trying to say by a pyramid with an eye on top?

  • omg I completely agree with you, with our money[canadian] at least we know which bill we are pulling out to pay with. I have nothing against America. I love the country but to think they made fun of our money. We just find ways to make everything easier. Shouldnt we just be freaking neighbourly and stop picking on each other. And YES I KNOW! It was a bloody joke, but I hear this stuff from my American friends and it drives me absolutely nuts when they make fun of it.

  • wow you need to chill... im canadian and i think, for that reason, i found this 10x funnier.

  • hahahahaha, same here! I wouldn't have found it as funny if I wasn't Canadian :P

  • Lol yeah im american and it can be a royal P.I.T.A. at times. I wish our money was more colorful, and with more pictures. although from what i understand your currency is a bit more complicated aside from the colors. You got a 2$ coin (of which i am the proud owner of one) !!!!!

  • Canadian money is very similar to American money. The coins are the same size and have the same nicknames. Other than having a $1 and $2 coin, not much else is different as far as understanding how it works goes. I don't like how American money all looks the same. When I'm in the U.S. I'm always afraid I'll accidentally give away more money than intended due to mistaking a $1 bill for a $20 or whatever. Here it's easy. $5 is blue, $10 is purple, $20 is green, $50 is red, $100 is brown...

  • is that like monopoly

  • I've done that, actually. In Europe, the colors as well as sizes help ensure that you are giving a five note rather than a ten. Canada's money is really beautiful... in my opinion. American money is getting there... slowly but surely. By the time it looks good, it probably won't be worth the ink and paper that makes it...

  • @BayviewFinch Agreed. It makes it so confusing in movies when they wave American money around - how the hell are we supposed to know how much they're hholding? Referring to their Presidents doesn't help either - after all,, no one knows which President is in what note except for themselves. :P

  • a toonie lol

  • You have got to be high. At this point calling Canada a second rate world player compared to America? Yeah America has done great things for the environment and foriegn relations. Let me ask you a question, which of the two countries has threatened a war that would wipe out the worlds entire populus in the last 60 years? Secondly Canada and the U.S. DO NOT have the same culture. It's about the similar as Britian and the US are. Silliest post I've read today. Go wash your ignorance off.

  • I like to think of Canada as the future Switzerland of the Western Hemisphere - cool, polite and prosperous, without ANY real economic dependency on OR liability from the USA.

    We'll still mail you nice chocolates at Christmas!

  • Hell yeah dude

  • @TubeFreakJonas Ah, from your mouth to God's ears! ;D

  • @TubeFreakJonas yeah,Canada is paradise....

  • @TubeFreakJonas This comment rocks! I worship you.

  • @robertjohnson487 We do not share the same culture. We believe in peacekeeping, and multiculturalism you believe in controlling everyone &making them conform. We speak 2 languages, you speak 1. We beat your asses in 1812 & burned down your White House while led by a drunk. So who's 2nd rate? The whole world hates your interfering, why would you want to do more of it? We separated because we didnt want to be Americans. WE STILL DON'T, now more than ever.

  • We don't call our money the loonie. The loonie is our $1 coin and we gave it that nickname since there is a loon on the front of it.

  • yes he makes it sound the the Toonie doesn't exist

  • @gome88 poor forgotten toonie. :P

  • Your skills of remembering your history can be impressive, but can you do it someplace else?

  • hahaha it's funny cause it's true!!!! haha our Loonie! hehe

  • Spelt the name wrong. How do you manage that?

  • That was actually pretty funny I don't think it was meant to be offensive

  • i think the canadians should get the hint and realize that the americans are joking. Americans, stop telling mean jokes. There, y'all kiss and make up now.

  • actually, us canadians can laugh at ourselves better than americans, who take everything seriously.

  • hell yeah lol we are fucking retarded most of time!! but at least we know it!!

  • Now... Let's wait for someone to come and reply here saying how they don't take everything seriously. o.o Completely disregarding the above comments. XD

  • You country does not control the issuance of currency!!! Even though the Bank of Canada is owned by the people; we still allow Private Bankers to lend us our money supply!!! Wonder why throughout the 90's your Social Programs were cut??? Its a general looting of the system folks. Its about disinheriting your private property from right under you. watch?v=O8Zl1Wax8MI

  • yeah like we actually wanna take a pause from watching a fun comedian to watch some boring 10 minute video, which is only part 1 of something. tell it to someone who gives a flying fuck.

  • And that ... Is how a Nation loses her Liberty.

  • Canada is an infinitely better run and organised county than the US. I'm an Australian and we all know it over here... You guys don't need to compete with them because you have the capability to sit back, comfortable in that knowledge. There really is no competition....

    No offense meant to anyone!

  • this is attributed to the character of most Canadians; not necessarily that there is no problems. The US is filled with those that would betray their own nation for money. Besides the US has 10 times as many people as does Canada and therefor the dynamics of corruption and the sociopolitical spectrum changes. The US has to content with many varieties of peoples and backgrounds not to mention political views. Dont forget that Canada has been subdued and therefor no harm comes to her.

  • The US is different. The US started out by nationalizing the creation of credit and of rebelling againsed Britain and creating a Libertarian Nation whose money is Gold and Silver. Canada was never like that and simply cowered before Britain. That is why Canada fought the first world war with Britain while the US never intervened. America was a true Republic (as was Rome) before outside, forces took control of America from within. Treasonous Elements.

  • heres something i bet you didn't know canada was beginning to have much greater military force than the states until the u.s got nervous and said don,t worry about spending to much money on your military we will watch out for you but Canada's military remains better trained just under funded because of this

  • we didnt cower, we had many rebellions, and when i way many i mean MANY, all failed, we were slaughtered, eventually, it got to the point nobody could fight, the reason you americans won your independance is becuase of the french had them distracted, so you could turn and shoot them in the backs, also, we had independant parlaiment during the first world war, we went to protect our french ancestry

  • Comment removed

  • The true fight was againsed Banking Oligarchs who wanted to make the Central Banks of Canada and the US Private. We have since lost that fight as you can see with Obama enabling the looting of the US Treasury at the expense of the innocent US Citizens. The G20 has met over the weekend to discuss a Global Currency to be created. Can you say banking holiday and subsequent devaluation of world currencies????

  • what does that have anything to do with what i just said?

  • Name some of those rebellions. Are they in your history books?

  • the biggest rebellion was in 1837, men of french and english rallied at the words by joseph louis papineau and john macenzie as they were ready to march on york and why the fuck is an american trying to give me a history lesson on my own country? fuckface, anyways, the rebbels were pushedback away from york, but as that happened, the troops were drawn from toronto, the rebels marched on toronto, they retreated, as those taking cover were thought to be dead, a good standing force was left,

  • fighting the returned british royalists, they eventualy holed themselves in a church, where the british fired cannons, and burned them out, as they burned, the rebels tried to make good of their vows to defend their right to independance, they killed the brits trying to burn the church, but eventually it was set to torch and they parished, joseph papineau was arrested and deported to america, where he planned the next rebellion

  • in upper canada, more tension was building as the british exacted their rule without parlaiment's consent, the governer general had absolute rule, an oligarchy that seeded for the rebellions of the years to come. papineau returned to canada with much support, they were to make a final stand, where he laid his life, forming the province of quebec for the french canadian people, newspapers also fueled the rebbelions, giving ppl new ideas, those were burned, and writers deported and killed

  • by the late 19th century, we had our independance from the british, constant fenian (irish trying to exact revenge on british rule in canada, for the atrocities they had comitted on the home-land), raids, no support from britain, the british decided to give the legeslative assembly rule in canada, where john a macdonald took power as the prime minister, ruling for 18 years in a democratic society, but i could be wrong, you're american, you americans always know best

  • @Joeleole Yeah, and I`m sure you haven`t been to either country to have the right to form that opinion.

  • @Joeleole Also, New Zealand is better run and organized country than Australia. I mean, I`m American, and we all know it here.

  • @oceangust Haaahahaahahaahahaahhhahahahah­ahahahaa AAAAHHhahahahahahahahhahahahaa­h!!!!

  • @Joeleole You're a faggot.

  • @oceangust New Zealand is the Mexico to Australia's America.....nuff said

  • @Joeleole I love you.....and I'm a dude...

  • loonies and twonies rock my life!

  • @jubejubexox yes - although, why is it they always seem to vanish whey you need bus change? lol

  • if i say im in canuckastan will you invade us?

  • I don't know about you guys, but it sounds like the end of the world, to me :D

  • Ya that's it. We also skate to work in July while fighting off polar bears and angry penguins.

  • and maple syrup avalanches

  • LOL nice one man!

  • what's with all the bitching about canadians and americans?

    plllzzz... take a joke ppl im canadian, i think think this is hilarious. (and quite true) ;)

  • THANK YOU!!!!

  • @MandoGuerrero2 with our mighty Timbits. ;)

  • @PaddySnuffles You CANNOT beat our Timmies :D

  • find something better to do

    because right now canada is top 5 best country, and where is the usa?

  • Canadians move to the US to take your good jobs, plus they pay better because they know Canadians aren't lazy. Give me 'socialist' medicine any day, my god what would happen if you got a sliver or stubbed your toe, fuck you'd have to take out a loan before a doctor could see you. I believe most americans who move here do so to get away from people like you. Plus our igloos are very modern.

  • 2 years ago I tore a ligament in my foot. I waited maybe 30 mins to get an x-ray, then got free drugs and free physio for 3 months. My dad needed arthroscopic surgery on his knee last year, went in and got it done in 4 months - again all 'free'. Hey, lets see that 20 bucks buy something big like a transplant or cancer treatment. Maybe you do have it good, but what about the guy next door to you? Right... who cares about him. That's pretty gay actually.

  • Oh my God im arguing with a kid. Well someday when you grow up and start paying taxes you will realize that its not free. You pay out the ass in taxes and then get less than great health care because the government is running it. Im already taxed enough as it is I don't need the government taxing me more. The US population is 300,000,000 the Canadian population is around 60 million or so. Do the math. We also have about 30 million illegals whos gonna pay for it. NOT ME I have a family.

  • Completely disregard the quotations around 'free'. I know we pay taxes jackass that's why I put them there. You pay taxes too, where does your money go to? Oh yeah, to fight terrorism. # of people that die annually from terrorism - 1,200 globally. American budget - trillions. Seeing as you're so good at math I'll just say that over 500 thousand die from cancer a year. Sounds like a scam to me. And ignore that the population of Canada is just over 30 million. Yeah, who's calling who dumb.
