Canada is Sorry

[Tim]

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.

Ah. The joke never struck me that way. That's what I get for answering a question not addressed to me... : P

Thank you so much for apologizing for Avatar and James Cameron. That made my day.

No worries!
Granted, that wasn't the point of the joke, but it was still a reference.

There's an error in the VERY FIRST SENTENCE of the brochure at 3:12:

we're sorry of the imperative used in the heading of this brochure may have suggested they were not invited

The word "of" in that sentence CLEARLY should have been "if." Don't you PROOFREAD your work?

I invest SEVERAL minutes of my valuable time EVERY WEEK watching your videos. I am entitled to a better quality of work than this RECKLESS, HAPHAZARD, AND FRANKLY IRRESPONSIBLE excuse for a video.

You self-proclaimed Canadian COMEDIANS probably DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND the gravity of your offense. "After all," you're probably mumbling to yourselves right now, "we just typed one vowel where we should have typed another. That's not so bad, is it?" YES, it is so bad. The vowel you abused wasn't just any old letter. It was "I." You know what that means? Do you have ANY IDEA what you did? "I" means ME. That's right, you've not only insulted the alphabet, you've insulted me PERSONALLY.

The Slack Mesa Research Facility offers its regrets on the occasion of this unfunny and ill-advised rant.

It's ok, England forgives you.

Mommy's got you, mommy's got you. Shhhhh, it's alright.

First of all, it's "DADDY's got you" and second of all, we all know you are about 2 feet too short to be Bill.

I read this and now I think you missed a huge opportunity for "Split Decision".

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.

You SHOULD be horrible sorry for Justin Bieber. Releasing Justin Beiber into the world is like sleeping around while knowingly have syphilis.

As for Celine Dion, ... I agree with you there, she's Vegas' property now, they can have her.

[Tim]

Hah. Best typo-spotting ever!

[His_Ryanness]

Now that he mentions it, there's also a quotation mark missing later in the brochure, in the second block of text.

in which case, we admit, "nice is probably not the correct term to use

I might like to add that people in los angeles rarely ever walk, so the possibility of running into someone would be a completely new and stunning experience. Followed by litigation. Excellent video.

...Oh. I thought if I took out all the non-reddened words this post would form a secret sentence.

That would've been awesome.

Reminds me of "The Twelve ways to say 'I'm Sorry'" from my How to Be a Canadian. Good stuff.

Does it go like this?

English: I'm Sorry.
Spanish: Lo Siento.
German: Es tut mir leid, dass.
Italian: Mi dispiace.
French: RIBBIT RIBBIT RIBBIT.

The Slack Mesa Research Facility hereby apologizes for the clearly broken secret sentence.

As part of a standard quality assessment procedure, our Public Relations department used Google Translate to convert the intended secret sentence from English to Japanese and back. Regrettably, however, this test sentence was translated at a power level of 105%, resulting in a relevance cascade. In retrospect, our decision to run the test on the same day as the quarterly Absinthe & Cheese party was unwise, and we apologize.

We at the Slack Mesa Research Facility recognize that you have a choice in reckless science and forum commentary providers, and we thank you for making the wrong choice: us.

I think James and Matt dancing at the end was my favorite part

[tak197]

OMG, I just noticed Kathleen's Catholic guilt Soda cans have a dude squirting blood out of his stigmata in celebration of how awesome the soda tastes.

(How can I tell it's Kathleen's? It's a slightly crude, slightly offensive joke that I find totally funny. If she didn't draw it, she sure as hell had to have SOMETHING to do with the picture itself. You can just tell when Kathleen was involved and when she isn't.)

[Sk8sheep24]

Sorry that my country once ruled you country, unless of course you're glad that you were ruled and thus given independence as something to celebrate during July. If I offended you just then by bringing up offensive past happenings or the thought of no Canada day, I'm sorry.
Also, there was a typo on your brochure where you wrote "unless less", sorry for being so picky and pointing that out. Then again, I'm starting to think you put all these typos people are pointing out, in on purpose, just so that you could apologize for making minor unimportant errors. I'm on to you Canada... (If this is completely unjustified conspiracy theory, sorry)
Anyway, great video. Sorry for taking so long to get to the point.

Sorry to bring this up, but it almost does.

And I'm sorry that I'm so tardy in that I missed out on correcting all yer typos!

Also, the English weren't catholic

Sorry, but we are a little bit.

No, the twelve different applications and intonations of the phrase "I'm sorry". Sorry.

[wartjr2373]

Among the Canada Day specials this is not my favourite (the Heritage Minutes parody strongly retains that position) but it was entertaining. I enjoyed the written text in particular.

[Jack]

I'm really sorry for not doing this earlier! And I am sorry for being so forgetful!

I really liked this one. You guys did a really nice job.

[facelesscog]

On a serious note, I want to say thank you, LRR. I've been going through some tough crap, medically speaking, and it had me in a really foul mood today...until I watched this video. You single handedly (or multiple-handedly, seeing as how there are more than one of you) jump started my mood with this awesomely funny video. Bravo to you all, and thanks. I needed that.

[madrak_the_red]

Also, the English weren't catholic

Sorry, but we are a little bit.

A little bit, but the majority weren't. CofE ain't catholic after all (I think. I'm not very down on these things, being atheist).
(also, I'm English too, so don't worry, I'm not making some broad generalisation. Well, I am, but from INSIDE)

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the majority were. You're right, Church Of England is a form of Protestantism.
