Torch brought the lady a helmet. He's a gentleman. Anthony is a self-centered closet case.

Eh, that's not saying much.

Prince Valiant is a pimp, you take that back.

The American perception of the Canadian accent is actually imaginary. Some guy just started saying Canadians say "oot" and "aboot" and since none of you have ever seen a Canadian, everyone took this at face value. It's actually kind of absurd that the belief is as persistent as it is (although it's only encountered in America).

Yeah, sure. And next you'll be telling us your capital isn't Vancouver, and you don't live in igloos.

Maybe you can't hear it if you're used to it but it's totally there, it's just really subtle in some regions. If you watch Canadian parliament for a while you'll eventually hear some dude who sounds like a South Park character. Also notice at 2:11 she pronounces "out" as "ouoot".

Dude, I live 20 miles from "der bordeur" and yeah they ALL talk like that up dere...maybe it's that Quebec-ish skew that the rest of Canada has NOTHING in common with

What's truly bizarre is people in Blaine, Washington, five minutes across the border, say it "out", and then you cross the border, hit Vancouver, and they say "oot". I cannot understand how that works.

Accents have as much to do with identity as region, and Canadians want to differentiate themselves from Americans.

God alone knows why.

In case anyone gives a shit on a 14 year old thread: There is often a stipulation on Canadian-made television for American networks where ADR can be called on a line that sounds 'too Canadian' and the actor has to come back in and say the line with more drawl.

It's against the law in Canada to NOT read FBoFW. If you don't read at least once a week, the RCMP will haul you off never to be heard from again.
