2008 Polar Bear Swim

[freeBOOTshine]

Crazy fuckers!! LOL

[takumikunzite]

Zentai lol.

[starkwill]

that is bullshit and I am OUTRAGED by your judgmental accusations..... golly (and by golly im calling you stupid people who said we live in igloos retarded monkey bumb nuckers.....)

[sportchix99]

haha i did that in 2007 when i went to b.c

[purplemist123]

how can you say that? you're retarded...if you haven't noticed we are RIGHT by you so the temperature in Vancouver is going to be pretty close to the same as the Olympic peninsula...so unless its minus 20 there - it not going to be here.

sheesh and your saying we don't have an education? your the one who probably failed geography.

[patrickbrowne12]

i live in on the rock aka (newfoundland) its so cold here u could not live 5 secs in the water

[onmyboard]

LOL "just a little"  HOLY crap that is insane

[rallymadkassam]

And after this the cold and flu index shot up from very low to exetremely high!! I wonder what could have caused that!!?? lol

[15000000th]

Holy fuck there are a fuckheads on youtube...

Canada is a great country, be it on the westside or eastside.

If people did this shit in QC (where i live), they would fucking die so props to the Vancouver ppl for doing it in weather where they wont fucking lose their nutsacks.

[bubbleteamaylee]

I drove by the polar bear swim this year... but I didn't get out of my car and go in... first year that I only just drove by. Next year I will go like usual. WOO Vancouver! :)

[bubbleteamaylee]

Wow. That's a really terrible thing to say. You are talking about a real person who had a family. I understand that you don't care, because you did not know the man... but, there are people in Vancouver who did and what you said was extremely disrespectful.

[redzion28]

I was thinking about participating in this.

[xTJMx]

Haha i know dude i am canadian born and raised i just wanted to see what ppl would say TBTV is canadian born and raised too VANCOUVER FTW!!

[whiteoprah]

Now if every single Canadian were to believe that about american's would that be fair? No...Dont make a stupid comment about us living in igloos or not being educated, every country has its traditions.

[whiteoprah]

American's are ignorant. Oh no wait, sorry, thats being judgemental, American's can only incorporate value in one thing, THE MCDONALDS VALUE MEAL.

[xTJMx]

Howcome canadians can get a internet connection from their igloos but i cant get one from my computer!!

[planetquimbogoal]

well most canadians dont live in igloos they tend to live in a "house", that is something you will never afford and as for your computer, well whoever bought it for you must have got it from value village or sumthing as it is shit if you cant connect to the internet

[purplemist123]

wow... i cannot even fathom how people from the states can actually believe that canadians live in igloos. its just sad...

good luck failing geography when you answer that the arctic circle starts and the border dumb ass

[PunchFace123]

i dont get how we live in igloos, canada is a way better country to live in. america is just a drug infested shit city, you must be pretty poor to not afford internet

[ashurlito]

who the hell do u think u are saying we live in igloos????? just because we like doing naturouse things!! doesnt mean we live in igloos! we have summer u know! we live in HOUSES god ur a fucking retard ur also very rude u shoukld HAVE NOT said that u cant get any connection from ur computer cuz ur a poor bitch

[Number1Daryl]

[Minika5]

[Renapple]

[FourStraightMen]

Slim-fitting body suits?

Film-slitting soggy boots.

[BetterPlayer]

[bunnyloveskitten]

[kooslap]

I have family out in BC that do this every year....LOL!! Shrinkage. :)

[schnarr52]

hahaha

[jettblackmac]

that would be cold

[edo1985]

I can't even stand the cold water at english bay in summer time... gosh...

[drame44]

i was there! at 15 also, brave or stupid...

[ChristopherKnittel]

Noaw that bee suum krazy whiite peeple!

[DarkEclips]

Its fuckin freezing...i know like more then half those people are going to get sick.

[jellybeen]

ooyyy i dont think i would last if i did that

[telephowned]

a guy died doing one this year.

[ScratchPatchFilms]

Ya go Vancouver!!! I would never do this however. heh.

Please click on my name to check out my new video "Teleporting Weed". I would appreciate your feedback!!! Sorry for the shameless plug, it's just hard to get exposure sometimes....and marijuana is vancouver's fav pastime heh

Scratch Patch Films

[karimadima]

yea

[purplemist123]

oh whatever you cant just make accusations like that ok?

yeah the states NEEEEVVVERRR use drugs(internet sarcasm)

[Zaeon]

This is one of the hundreds of places they do this at. They do it in my county here in Michigan, but I hate the cold, so I never go.

[OysterSnow]

Not if you are a couch/PC chair potato. The change of temperature can cause heart strokes if you aren't in good physical fitness.

[us54]

stupid

[us54]

dat is why there are no black people in the crowd. Cause it is freezing cold and yall still get in the water. Stupids. My family/friends would beat me if i ever did that

[telephowned]

there's no black people in vancouver is why. there's three major ethnic groups there, caucasian, indians, and asians.

but i'll be the first to admit that if there was black people in vancouver, they probably wouldn't be there in force.

[APBall]

YEA VAN CITY

[abortiontalk]

vancouver pride~

[xhappiebunnix]

lol ive been there cause i live in vancouver and i came out like shivering (id like too try it in ontario!) but im only 10 so its like harsh on my little body!!!But its so much fun!

[MystinTo]

Pfft, thats wussy!! Polar Bear Dip in Sudbury, ON is much colder. Good thing there are a lot of saunas there! /me waves to deddy20 for having had the courage to try that in Cochrane.

[PrinceOfPain32]

Aww dude. Peace to cochrane!

[randomnicity]

Polar Bear swim in Churchill, MB - Polar Bear capital of the world, colder yet... Crazy Canucks!

[deddy20]

lol thats not even bad I did it in Cochrane, Ontario and its 25 below and they cut the hole in the ice for you to jump into

[Metallimeister]

Idiots

[fretduster03]

who cares atheist headbanging freako

[canada17]

we do this in ontario... little place called port dover

[nikilicious87]

Crazy??? this has been a long long time canada day tradition in a town called churchill, where the polar bears ACUTALLY swim..... try that one on....

[Brandonhepz]

I think its just me but the Guy with the body suite sounds like dane cook lolz

[originaldylan]

Pacific ocean.... pfffft try the Atlantic buddy. You guys barely ever get any snow. I guess that rain can sometimes get a lil stingy you poor baby

[PASSDEJOINT]

Sweet Dude!..... i can play golf and go snowboarding in the same day.....

[purplemist123]

hah thats why they call it the greatest ciry on earth PASSDEJOINT xp

[pants4200]

ive done my own in feb

im so doing this one year though

[originaldylan]

there is also one guy smoking a cigarette, drinking a coffee and reading your comment thinking you're a jackass. Angels my dick

[slaughterhouseart]

The guy with the pink hat sound A LOT like Dane Cook.

[extremehockeyfan]

You people are fucking idiots! You will get hyperthermia and you will die if you do this! Now I am from BC and the polar bear swim should be gone now.

[Rikushix]

I am also from BC, and I think it's safe to say you're a fucking moron.

[OonaCanute]

They've been doing it for about 80 years in Vancouver, so I think it's pretty well established. Nice try, though.

[jam5796]

I live inVancouver, BC and I think Canada rocks!!

[rielism]

we do in South Western Ontario every year

[harlequinsacrifice]

yall jsut need to chill and shut the fuckup. Honestly jsut watch the video....its here for entertainment..not for a debate..so enjoy the vid instead of finding everything thats wrong with it, or making huge discusions about topics not even related to it.

[originaldylan]

but we're Canadians.... this discussion is about weather how can we shut up about it? lol

[gmodmaster5]

Damn, sorry people but i ment to say the usa Not Canada i live in canada and its a wonderful place Sorry people for my mistake

[hoochmccann]

soooooo???

[gmodmaster5]

And one more thing that bad about canada is bush. he makes usa waste thier money on a war bush started his self! But luckly if u live in canada it's fine cause no high taxes then in usa.....

[Sheendude]

Do you not know how to spell? Like honestly, get some grammar lessons,and Canada does not have bush. Which is what you said. USA messed their economy up all by themselves. The katrina incident is costing them billions.

[originaldylan]

oh god you're retarded. ever heard the pot calling the kettle black. The American economy is not messed up by the war, katrina or terrorism. It's the lending the laws set into place by the Clinton Administration making it easy for americans to borrow money easier, they spent to much and now have to pay back

[originaldylan]

and since they have so much debt they have less money to spend. Less money to spend equals less money BEING spent equals less demand for goods and services equals less sales taxes for the government and less income to businesses AKA a recession and thats whats happening now

[1337juancho1337]

faild english class?

[jamaicasky]

We have HIGH taxes in canada. on everything we buy its about 15%. we pay both Goods and Services and Provincial Services Tax.we have to pay for all the medical services, welfare, and tons of other things like fancy gardens, statues, memorial parks etc that our govt officials decide to build with our money. So yes, we have HIGH taxes prob higher than usa.

[hoochmccann]

yeah we have high taxes but at least we get free healthcare :P

[Termiduggler]

Technically we do not have free health care. Like jamaicasky said above, "...we pay both Goods and Services and Provincial Services Tax.we have to pay for all the medical services...".

And apparently, I'm not the one coming up with this, but Welfare may be taken away around 5 years from now because it's costing the government too much money, and too many people are frauding it by getting a welfare cheque while working under the table.

[OonaCanute]

I've lived in both the US and Canada and I paid far more for healthcare while in the States. It may not be free, but it's way cheaper.

[originaldylan]

our healthcare sucks.... we still have long ass lines to wait and long delays for things we need. Of course we're bettr than the Americans but apparently so are about 100 other countries

[hoochmccann]

know who has best healthcare? Norway :P

[originaldylan]

I'm not 200% sure if it's them but I know they're in the top 10

[fretduster03]

its 12% idiot and dont sound so smart on almost about everything you said.and yeah we'e getting free healthcare!

[originaldylan]

GST is down to 5% now isn't it? That or like 5.5. In Alberta I think they have no provincial sales tax

[obsessedwithgoku]

well both of us will be crap because our econemies or falling. I'm sorry, I'm leaving north america.

[mandababee]

for all the people who get angry at the fact that we have a polar bear swim... just cuz their province is "colder"

Why does that make you better? o_O you're just too awesome to handle! Cuz you get more snow :)

[hoochmccann]

wait colder? are you saying bc is colder then say Ontario or Quebec or any maritime province??? if so your wrong

[rikkko]

only white peoples

[hoochmccann]

thats a surprise seeing as its Vancouver(at least half the population is not Caucasian). Probly cause they cant handle the shrinkage :P

[curtisw2007]

WEIRD

[PowerofTenth]

Holy crap, everyone just chill, no one cares who's province is colder alright? No ones cares that you think America is better, we Vancouver people are just having a freaking swim event in the cold, nothing else.

[bstopard]

Maybe because Van is so temperate, this vid should be renamed 'panda' or 'Koala bear swim' to avoid confusion? Would be more inclusive to the 'far east'community as well.

[gmodmaster5]

WELL to all of u usa sucks dog shit

[Sn0wyl33k]

i always, if i see a pile of dog shit i put an american flag in it!

[BulletHitstheBone]

the guy in the pink toque sounds like dane cook

[bawangrebus]

for the first time i see the title, i thought they release some polar bears, but actually it were peoples swam onto the sea.. it's looks fun.. since they dont have it here.. T.T

[rpophessagr2]

Americans do it too.

[originaldylan]

true... the midwest gets really bad winters and I saw some ppl doing it in Wisconsin and Minnesota

[Kachaloo]

hahaha.. I love Canadians. Sweet, nice and down to the earth.

Greetings from an Afghan.

[marcolantern]

Sarcasm? Lake Winnipeg gets pretty damn cold

[DavieWestmacott]

damn i didnt see myself, it wasnt even that cold this year it was great i was in for like 2 mins

[acidglow]

Now that is cold

[theguythatcould]

Quebec!!!! and all the other Provinces and Territories!

[alexanderbam]

EAST SIDE!

[antennasbc]

What a bunch of pussies. Vancouver polar bear swim!! HA HA!! Try it in the other provinces that actually get winter. SHEESH.

[canadianeh24]

i know eh? whats it get down to over there 10.... 15 degrees? cant even see there breath

[jimbojones40]

:P lol

[DavieWestmacott]

yea but in other provinces so few people do it, in vancouver literally thousands of people do, so its just a bigger event

[originaldylan]

We do it here in upper and lower canada... with that temperature it's called spring

[cococolakid]

LOL!! i live in Calgary! YEA!!!!

[originaldylan]

I love Calgary. Spent a year there and got snowed on and sunburnt almost every month

[lonewolf2852]

Lol. We Canucks are crazy! :D

[GenghisJoe]

"Any shrinkage?"

"a Bit"

"No comment for me"

LOL

[aznbb0i]

rofl......sux to be on the east coast :P

[internetbud15]

aznbb0i... vancouvers on the westcoast dumbass

[aznbb0i]

lol relax dude, i know Vancouver is on the weascoast. I'm just saying everyone here is raggin on vancouver peeps being "pussys" and how damn cold it is on the east..so it must suck to be on the east :P

[RamzaOwns]

no...it must suck to be on the west...must be freakin hot in vancouver during summer

[originaldylan]

lol not really. Vancouver has pretty good summers, Victoria too

[RamzaOwns]

certainly hotter than ontario...and thats bad enough for me

[hoochmccann]

vanvouvers not as hot as say toronto in the summer. not by a longshot and but its warmer in the winter here(personaly i like snow so i like ontario more)

[RamzaOwns]

vancouver is next to a body of water...

and i dont live in toronto anyways

[originaldylan]

yeah I know with all the non-labour jobs and healthcare, established schools and cities, we're just bastards aren't we?

Perhaps when I give up on life (pretty soon probably) I'll move to BC and smoke weed all day while I plant tree's for minimum wage

[originaldylan]

swimming in vancouver is cold???

Try that shit in Toronto, Winnipeg or Montreal without the warm chinook winds you wimps

[SEVERN4]

Well if you want you can come over here and see how cold it is for yourself, I don't see how were wimps when were the only ones doing it at least unlike all those other "colder" Provinces. Don't call us wimps when you cant do it yourselves

[originaldylan]

We do do it in the other provinces jackass... watch CBC outside of your own town. We've been doing it in Quebec and the maritimes for years

[MaiFlowers]

I did it, it was so cold but pretty fun.

[jewishlilboy]

that a new sport or somethin?

[mystiquesword]

no. HELL no! its been going on for years!

[JamesWorldStudios]

its to make donations for homeless or some other helpful cause

[carbonbluegt]

8-) "Polar bear swim" and "Vancouver" do not belong in the same sentence.

[heeheex2]

i was gonna go to that but then i was like wayyy to cold

[jacobean]

lol that's the whole point

[heeheex2]

lol i know :P

[dakurv]

you pussies , come to Quebec we have to dig a hole in the ice to get in the water :)

[CrazyycclowN]

i read on my wii that someone died, heart attack, right?

[skamaster48]

retards

[cclapew]

I heard it was a heart attack

[fptp01]

NO COSTUMES FOR ME YAY ME!

[Revelations12]

lol k

[Hinata123345]

i went last year and the water was freaking Antarctica cold. and the rain didnt help but it was still really FUN! i wanted to go this year but no one wanted to go with me.T_T

[Marquis0Vulpes82]

Umm. No. This would not be for me. The shrinkage alone is enough to scare me off. I'm from Cowtown, so you would think I'd be used to the cold, but I'm not -I have an allergy to cold (it causes shrinkage). We can talk at summer time.

[Swaybe]

Next year I want to do that!

[Darkheart101]

I always wanted to do that lol

[JimmyChiffels]

lol.. Im Canadian and.. Wtf??

[dydob]

tahts retarded

[kurd26]

what an experience..GOOOOO VANCOUVER!

[dustinagar]

polar bear swim in vancouver is kinda funny... its not cold here at all...

[xSouIReaper]

[PwnNubtarzz]

Attention, seeking people who can spell. Get a life!

[PwnNubtarzz]

Hurray vancouver

[123duckface]

Hooray Canuck people!

peace

[intternet]

i dont get it .. they jump in there... to c if there penis shrinks?

[armyhernandez]

its making me cold just thinking about it. i didn't do it this year, i just sat across the water with a hot coffee and watched.

[iSplode]

When I was in scouts, in Calgary, my group carved a hole in the lake and jumped with the stampeders... We got a lot of attention, but by the second year it became way too commercial. I hate polar jumps anyways. I go into shock when I hit the water.

[mommymcmom]

most of these idiots don't need to worry about shrinkage because they don't a penis or a brain to begin with.

[armyhernandez]

shut up clown

[mommymcmom]

you are the ones acting like retards and you call me a clown.
