About time you guys were sorry. Giving us all this wonderful comedy for nothing.

I was hoping for another musical tribute, but somehow I still didn't leave disappointed. Very LOL-worthy all around, and Kathleen's beaver looked really nice.

Hooray for national stereotypes!

We really should be sorry for Justin Bieber. Seriously, what were we thinking? Sorry world, our bad :(

Also, Celine Dion, but really...she's Vegas' fault now.

Ah, as if Canadian Bacon didn't do enough on the 'Sorry' front. Sorry this has already been done, and sorry that you managed to give it such a twist that it was hilarious again. And sorry that I keep saying sorry, a Michigander is just like a Canadian without Health Care, you know other than Detroit, sorry for that by the way.

Anyone else feel bad and want to apologize to Canada for not being a trending topic?

We could probably fix that, you know ;)

Really? It sounded like stereotypical New Yorker to me, with a sprinkling of "Da Super Fans" Chicago.

Also, I submit to the panel, it is difficult to maintain an accent whilst yelling.

Sorry to mention this, but is "Reduction is awkward conversational pauses" a typo?

I think they apologize for themselves. It's an implied sorry.

Was Matt's "I wanted to be a lumberjack anyhow" a Monty Python reference or am I reading to much into it? If so, I am sorry.

It's not a Monty Python reference. Both jokes are taking advantage of the same Canadian stereotype.

The why didn't you have him saying 'eh' the whole time. You should be very sorry :P

Also, the English weren't catholic, and didn't bring guilt as such. Ours is a different sorry, a sorry that goes like: 'Oh I'm terribly sorry for subjugating you for all those years, but how about we just...carry on? How about it old chap?'

Actually, Tim, speaking as one of the video's writers :) that totally is a Python reference.
The Lumberjack song's many iterations always had Michael Palin playing some job, and then later declaring that he'd always wanted to be lumberjack.
