This might get me flamed, but I'd like to give a nod to Canada re: sense of humor. As a Kids in the Hall and SCTV fan, I think a lot of really good stuff has come from the great white socialist north, eh.

As a Kids in the Hall and SCTV fan... SCTV was absolutely the BEST TV comedy show....EVER! And the tragedy of that show was that NBC bought that show only to PURPOSELY kill it. They were scared it would beat Saturday Night Live in the ratings so they picked up SCTV and then broadcast it about 2 A.M. where they knew it couldn't get many viewers. I'm still pissed off about that incident.

I dunno, I worked in Canada for six monthes and I'd put 'em a couple of pegs below the Germans. (I spent 16 month in Deutchland and spricht etwas Deutsch.) A blend of resentment and smoldering self-rigtheousness are not the right disposition for humor. It's hard for Canadians to brush their teeth without resenting Americans for selling them toothpaste.
