In American media, [[Canada]] is a sweet, quirky and slightly backwards version of America, eh? ([[Canada Does Not Exist|Assuming it exists at all]], eh?) It's as if you took everyone from Minnesota, gave them an obsession with [[Ice Hockey|hockey]]<ref>Anyone who thinks this should be clarified to "ice hockey" will be stiffly beaten by the RCMP, with a hockey stick.</ref> (OK, ''more'' of an obsession), and made that an entire country, eh? Everybody's white (except the First Nations), eh, and everyone who isn't French has a Scottish last name, eh?

* '''The Atlantic region''': basically [[Hollywood New England|Maine]] but [[Up to Eleven|even colder]], eh? Full of flannel-wearing fishermen with funny accents falling somewhere between Irish, Scottish, and [[Pirate]], eh?

* '''[[EskimoThe LandGreat White North|The Arctic]]''', full of igloos, playful polar bears and parka-wearing Inuit, quite possibly [[Polar Bears and Penguins|penguins]], and of course cute little baby seals... at least until the polar bears and people find them. Which is awesome, eh?

Keep in mind that [['''Canada, Eh?]]''' has no West Coast (besides ''all'' of British Columbia), no Prairies (besides a fairly large hunk of the middle of the country), and certainly no punishingly hot weather (except for [[Stargate City|Vancouver]]). The hot weather stops right aboot at the border (unless it presents a passport), eh!?

Eeeeeh, Canadians [[South Park|eat nothing but Kraft Dinner]] (which is Canadian for "macaroni and cheese"), Tim Hortons, donuts, poutine,<ref>French fries with cheese curds, and enough gravy to partially melt the cheese</ref>, and <s>Canadian</s>back bacon, eh? Anglophone Canadians all speak with a stereotyped [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:West/Central_Canadian_EnglishCentral Canadian English|West/Central Canadian English]] accent, putting "eh" [[Verbal Tic|at the end of questions or affirmations]], and prominently raising the "ou" in aboot every word containing it, eh?

Our army consists of a guy with a BB gun mounted on a moose, our air force a paper airplane,<ref>And [[Too Cool to Live|the Avro Arrow]]</ref>. [[Berserk Button|Never forget]], eh!,?</ref> and our navy a guy in a canoe with a slingshot, eh?

[[Useful Notes/Canada|Useful Notes]] about ''non-fictional'' Canada now has its own page, eh?

* Kate from ''[[Sketchbook (Manga)|Sketchbook ~<nowiki>[[full color's~]]</nowiki>]]'' comes from Canada (and for some reason writes "Canada" in kanji).

* One case of Team Rocket's [[Twinkle in The Sky]] exit in ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]'' ends with them landing in an indeterminate forest zone, with two onlookers dressed for warmth. The ''dub'' goes the extra mile with their accent.

'''Rudy:''' Aw, c'mon, all Americans have guns!<br />

''(Rudy returns disappointedly to his friends.)''<br />

** A discarded version of the "Wolverine: Origins" story line had Wolverine born and spend his early life in the Southern States and move to Canada after the reveal causes tragedy in his family. It was eventually decided that his Canadian origin was at this point too integral to his fan recognition to ignore.

* An issue of ''[[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew (Comic Book)|Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]'' mentions the "Cornadian border" (Earth-C's Canada being named "Cornada", which in real life is also a [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cornada bullfighting term]).

* The ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'' series, based in a surreal video game version of [[Toronto]], averts most of these stereotypes (it should be noted the author, Bryan Lee O'Malley, is Canadian himself), except for the occasional "eh." Also, American characters' dialogue will be spelled with words like "flavor," while the Canadian cast says "flavour."

== Fan FictionWorks, Eh? ==

* The unlikely setting for Sunshine Temple's [[Fuku Fic]] ''[[The Return (Fanficfanfic)|The Return]]''.

* In ''[[XSGCOM (Fanfic)|XSGCOM]]'' Canada is described - admittedly in jest to simple-minded offworlders - as a [[Death World]]. ‘They say [[Four -Star Badass|[Sharp's]]] homeland is a frozen wasteland where the icy wind would cut you to the bone and where water only ever falls as snow, like it does here upon the mountaintops yonder... ‘It is said the forests there are full of ferocious beasts with huge teeth and claws called bears, and that you must prove yourself worthy by defeating one with a traditional weapon of his tribe they call a hockey stick’

* The persistent mentioning that shots need to contain "more Canadian content" by the director in ''[[Windigo (Film)|Windigo]]'' serves to spoof the Canadian obsession with having expressly Canadian movies to maintain their identity.

{{quote| '''Mountie played by [[Steven Wright]]''': I don't know what you're talkin' aboot.<br />

* ''[[Rumble in The Bronx]]''. The Bronx apparently has a mountain range. (It was shot in [[Vancouver]], BC.)

* ''[[The Whole Nine Yards]]'' averts this, taking place in [[Montreal]] because it was filmed there, but generally lacking in Canadian stereotypes, except for Bruce Willis's rant about how Canadians put mayonnaise on hamburgers.

* ''Taking Lives'' is an American thriller set for no particular reason in Quebec City, which you can tell because everyone speaks French from France and there's an establishing shot of the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateau_Frontenac:Chateau Frontenac|Château Frontenac]]. Having the Chateau Frontenac in Montreal is the equivalent of showing the Statue of Liberty in Washington.

* In ''[[The PresidentsPresident's Analyst]]'', when the titular individual goes on the lam, along with being stalked by the FBI, the CIA and The Phone Company, he runs afoul of the Canadian intelligence service. They are very polite about abducting him and drugging him for classified info.

* [[David Cronenberg]]'s films are often set in his hometown, [[Toronto]], which he naturally portrays quite realistically. A realistic Montreal crops up occasionally, too. His 1986 remake of ''The Fly'' is shot in the downtown core of Toronto, and several prominent stores are visible during some of the scenes (such as Toronto City Hall, and, when Brundle walks down the street eating a chocolate bar, he passes he most random places.

* ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'', set in Toronto. For more on this, see the comic book entry.

* British author Dick Francis' thriller ''The Edge'', set on a cross-Canada train trip, which is generally respectful and affectionate but also features a character who literally does say 'eh' at the end of ''every freakin' sentence''.

* ''[[The Trolls]]'' has Aunt Sally both poke fun at and provide true facts about her life growing up with their father and the rest of the family on Vancouver Island. A lot of things she mentions, like a violin-playing test that's [[Serious Business]], she claims are normal for life on the island. Early on, she jokes that people in Canada have parties all of the time, but keep it a secret because they feel like they're "ghosts" and that America has a proper culture. For the record, no one in her stories say 'eh?'.

* After the airliner hijacking at the beginning of [[Tom Clancy]]'s ''Rainbow Six'' is foiled by John Clark and his son-in-law, the plane touches down in Gander, Newfoundland, and the protagonists are met on the tarmac by a "Royal Canadian Air Force" officer. [[Dan Browned|Canada's air forces havewere not been referred to byas the "RCAF" moniker sincebetween 1968 and 2011.]]. Particularly [[egregious]] for such a military enthusiast.

== Live -Action TV, Eh? ==

* ''[[Degrassi]]'' did a self-parody of this when [[Kevin Smith (Creator)|Kevin Smith]] guest-starred, making a movie titled "Jay and Silent Bob Do Canada, Eh''. (Smith is a fan of predecessor ''[[Degrassi Junior High]]'')

* ''[[The Red Green Show]]'' both embraces and pokes fun at nearly every [[Canada, Eh?]] stereotype.

{{quote| '''Customs Officer''': Citizenship?<br />

'''Red''': Canadian. Need proof?<br />

** In real life, sometimes the RCMP aren't that [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Dziekanski_Taser_incident:Robert Dziekanski Taser incident|polite and upstanding]]. And during the [[Red Scare]] the RCMP did many, many things that were questionable. Such as inventing a [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_machine:Fruit machine|"Fruit Machine"]] to try to identify homosexuals, whom they felt could be blackmailed by the KGB to reveal state secrets. Yes, really.

* In ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', Rodney McKay is a brilliant Canadian scientist, arguably the smartest person on the show. While many Canadians will use "zee" instead of "zed" while mostly around Americans, McKay ''always'' uses "zed". This leads the Zero Point Module to be called "Zed-Pee-Em"--even—even, on occasion, by American characters. During an episode where the team has to travel to Canada to track someone down, McKay states that CSIS ("see-sis") is assisting in the search, much to John Sheppard's amusement.

{{quote| '''Lt. Col. Sheppard:''' C-what now? <br />

'''Dr. McKay:''' Canadian Security Intelligence Services. They're kind of like your CIA. <br />

* Mike and the 'bots of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' once had to suffer through a Canadian film called ''[[The Final Sacrifice]]'', which inspired them to write an "homage" to their northern neighbor.

{{quote| '''Tom Servo:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}4RHVoFpncgA Enough! There's been too much Canada bashing for far too long! I say no more!]<br />

{{quote| '''Tom Servo''': This is either America ten years ago or Canada today.}}

** Servo has also speculated that ''[[Space Mutiny]]'' may be Canadian-made ("it's just rife with the smell of back-bacon"). Poor Tom [[Did Not Do the Research]]; the film was actually made in [[Useful Notes/South Africa|South Africa]] during [[The Apartheid Era]], which may explain why everyone on the ship [[Unfortunate Implications|is white]].

{{quote| '''Ted:''' You guys are weird and you pronounce the word 'out', 'oot'.<br />

'''Robin:''' You guys are the world's leader in hand gun violence, your health care system is bankrupt and your country is deeply divided on almost every important issue.<br />

** They also love playing with Canadian stereotypes, such as they are. There was a whole episode on the stereotype that Canadians are afraid of the dark.

{{quote| "USA! USA! USA!"<br />

"CANADA! CANADA! CANADA!"<br />

* On ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'', Michael Eddington carries a "lucky Loonie" (one-dollar coin), which would seem to imply Canadian background. He's a lot more hardcore than the national stereotype. [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|SRSLY]]. {{spoiler|He also seems to have a kind of reactionary attitude towards the Federation, much the way some Canadian nationalists and jingoists have towards American influences.}}

* On ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'' Ethan claims to be from Canada when talking to Hurley, to which Hurley replies "Cool, I love Canada! They've got great... Uhh..." Cue Ethan's good-hearted laugh. Of course, {{spoiler|he was actually born on the island and was lying.}} Everything involving Canada was synonymous with lying, {{spoiler|except in Nathan's case, but that was to fool the audience into thinking he was lying.}}

* ''[[Red Dwarf]]'': Robert Llewellyn apparently based his performance as [[Red Dwarf (TV)|Kryten]] on a Canadian accent. Of course, Canadians claim they don't sound anything like that.

** Robert Llewellyn later admitted that what he eventually came up with was [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping|a ''bad'' Canadian accent]].

* In one episode of ''[[Malcolm in Thethe Middle]]'', the family discover their granddad's second family who live in Manitoba. Cue funny accents, a very prim-and-proper Canadian grandmother who keeps everything bottled up (as opposed to Malcolm's violent [[Ruritania|Ruritanian]]n grandmother), and a family who are essentially them but better and happier. Also, Reese loves it because he can go out shooting small animals.

* Played hilariously straight in ''[[That '70s Show]]'' when the guys travel to Canada to buy beer, and are detained by a couple of Mounties (played by [[SCTV|Joe Flaherty and Dave Thomas]]) when Fez misplaces his Green Card.

* A similar situation occurred on ''[[Frasier]]'', when during a road trip the group crosses the border into Canada, much to Daphne's horror -- shehorror—she doesn't have her green card yet.

{{quote| '''Jimmy:''' You poor misguided Canadian bastard.}}

* ''[[Jeopardy (TV)|Jeopardy!]]'''s emcee, Alex Trebek, was born in Ontario, and never hesitates to throw in an "eh?" or some other Canahen he comes in.

* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'': A sketch from early 2011 depicts "Celebrity Scoop", a fictional Canadian entertainment news show based in Winnipeg. The hosts are so nice that they miss the entire point of this kind of show.

{{quote| '''Edna Ledouf''': First up in the gossip world, Celebrity Scoop has received some red-hot photos of Ryan Philippe and Amanda Seyfried canoodling.<br />

'''Thomas''': Yeah, yeah, that's right, you know. But we're not gonna show 'em, you know, 'cause that's private. }}

* An episode of ''[[Corner Gas (TV)|Corner Gas]]'' involves an American tourist accidentally arriving in Dog River. One towns person (Hank) instantly goes on the defensive and mocks the American for supposedly believing stereotypes about Canada. The American turns out to be very well versed in Canadian politics, and any stereotypes that do come up turn out to be true (such as Lacy knowing his friend from Toronto).

* One game on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line Is It Anyway]],'' "Foreign Film Dub," involves two of the actors [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign|faking a foreign language]] while the other two "translate" for them. One time, the "foreign language" given to them to fake and translate was "Canadian." In addition to the "film" being entitled "Oot 'n' Aboot," the "Canadian" language as faked consisted of nothing but the word "eh," interspersed with words like "hoser," and various hockey-related terms.=

* In ''[[NCIS (TV)|NCIS]]'', McGee is up at the border working with the Mounties on a joint operation, and when seen in the background they're wearing the scarlet tunics, and obviously traveled on horseback.

* Nadia, From the ''[[Bitchin' Kitchen (TV)|Bitchin Kitchen]]'' DOES finish most of her sentences with "eh", though it's more of an Italian thing than Canadian.

{{quote| '''Worms''': We've got rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and... water!}}

** By the way, that's Jian Ghomeshi with the longest hair (known to much of Canada now as the previous host of the program ''Q'' on CBC Radio).

* [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Weird Al]]'s]] song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Jybmtvcxw Canadian Idiot] parodies the stereotypes.

* "Take Off" by Bob & Doug McKenzie (like, those hosers from ''[[SCTV]]'''s "Great White North", eh?) with guest vocals from Geddy Lee of Rush.<ref>He produced the album.</ref> Ten bucks is ten bucks, eh?

* [[Five Iron Frenzy]]'s "Oh, Canada" mentions lumberjacks, Mounties, [[Misplaced Wildlife|yaks]], lemmings, venison slurpees, milk in bags, and [[William Shatner]].

* The Canadian rock band [[The Tragically Hip]], with their notable hits, such as "Little Bones", "Wheat Kings", "Queen of the Furrows", "Bobcaygeon" (actually named that because it was the only town they could think of to rhyme with "constellation"), "Courage (For Hugh MacLennan)", and "Three Pistols" (which starts with the line "Tom Thomson came paddlin' past"). Popular in Canada, too - their farewell concert ''preempted live Olympic Games coverage.''

* Canadian band [[The Birthday Massacre]] talked about this in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PTq9a8WgYI this fanmail video], where they were asked: 1, do they speak with a Canadian accent, and 2, is saying 'eh' at the end of every sentence a regional thing. They answered that 1, they don't think that they speak with a Canadian accent, but in Canada nobody cares if you have an American accent, whereas in America they've been teased for their accents and saying stuff like 'aboot' for 'about' and 'soary' for 'sorry', and 2, it's not a regional thing but more a polite thing, indicating that it's the other person's turn to talk.

* [[Darkthrone]], with their stirring anthem [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnLxun1gdz8 Canadian Metal]. This song caused some controversy among Canadian metalheads when it was first released, as for some it is hard to tell if it was meant as mockery or a genuine tribute. In interviews from around the same time they clarified that yes, they actually really like a lot of Canadian metal bands, and the lyrics are taken from song titles of classic Canadian metal bands.

* The band [[Great Big Sea]] likes to highlight their Canadian origins - fully half of their songs reference Newfoundland (specifically, St. John's) or other areas in Canada, or else are old British drinking/sailing songs with the lyrics redone to reflect Canadian sensibilities. (Played straight, too - no tongue-in-cheek.)

* Vancouver based folk-rock band [[Spirit of the West]] exemplified the 'soary' ideal in their song "Far Too Canadian". They also celebrated the Canadian-Scot heritage in "The Old Sod", and touched upon canadian life in many other songs.

{{quote| Hello, I'm MC Canadian-Stereotype<br />

I'm aboot to get started so let me get off the ice<br />

But I don't want any trouble and I am always polite<br />

* In a story line in ''[[Peanuts]]'', Charlie Brown runs away, but Sally finds him camping out on his pitcher's mound. When she asks him why he didn't go someplace farther from home, such as Canada, he tells her he was afraid of getting hit by a hockey puck.

* Oddly enough, [[Professional Wrestling]] completely averts this trope (well, ''almost'' completely; after all, [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] did have a [[Heel]] mountie in full dress uniform for a while; ironically, WWE wasn't allowed to use him in Canada at all), even though they embrace every single other stereotypical ethnic trope out there. This may be because half the wrestlers in North America (at least the well-known ones) are from either Canada or Texas. In fact, professional wrestling may be the only form of popular fictional entertainment where Canadians can be portrayed as jerks or outright evil.

* Canadians tend to have their own stereotype within [[Professional Wrestling]] involving superior in-ring skill and charisma ranging between "average" and "a wet slab of concrete." This is likely due to the fact that most notable Canadian wrestlers came from the infamous [[Training Fromfrom Hell|Hart family Dungeon]] whose graduates tended to fall into this stereotype. Notable exceptions include [[Edge]] and [[Christian]], who are from Ontario, and Chris Jericho, who did train with the Harts but is simply a straight-up subversion.

** A donation of $10 USD will get you a Mr. Accessory, often abbreviated to "Mr. A". $10 Canadian, on the other hand, will net you a "Mr. Eh?" which gives a bonuses to your stats based on the current exchange rate between the Canadian and American Dollars. Sadly, the KoL people have said that in the event that the Canadian Dollar is worth more than the American one (as it briefly was infor recenta couple of years), the bonuses granted by the Mr. Eh? will not exceed those granted by the Mr. A.

* The Judge's brother in ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' is Canadian, or at least has a Canadian accent. He occasionally replaces his 'u's with 'oo's or uses the stereotypical 'eh' and is also a fan of hockey. The first time he shows up, he calls Phoenix a hoser. Mia's inner monologue comments that he sounds Canadian, if the player couldn't tell from the (text only) context. This is because the Judge's brother trained at a law school in Canada.

* ''[[Sailor Moon: Another Story]]'' had a chapter where Sailor Jupiter goes to Canada to find Nephrite's Hi Stone, which is at the top of the Protection God's Tree.

* ''[[Punch -Out!!]]'' has Bear Hugger, shown above. He's a woodsman from Salmon Arm, British Columbia, who drinks maple syrup, chops down trees, plays hockey, and hugs bears. When not being trained by one. He talks like a stereotypical Canadian in the Wii game, often saying "eh" and calling Little Mac a hoser. [[Self-Deprecation|Incidentally, that installment was developed by Canadian developer Next Level Games.]]

* In ''[[The Adventures of Sam and& Max: Freelance Police (Video Game)|Sam and Max: The Bright Side of the Moon]]'' Sybil gets the job as the Queen of Canada, she gives a 100 billion Canadian dollar bills with the images of Celine Dion.

* In ''[[Anachronox (Video Game)|Anachronox]]'', the Canadian Dollar became the standard currency ''of the galaxy'' due to "a freak of galactic economics".

* Although there has never been a Canadian ''[[Street Fighter]]'' ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]'' has Sasquatch the Canadian born big foot monster from the Rocky Mountains, complete with snowman buddies and Lumberjack like stature.

* This is how the Bumpties from ''[[Paper Mario: theThe Thousand -Year Door]]'' speak, with "you betchas" thrown in.

* [[MAGISAMAG-ISA]] -- In—In this comic, a [http://mag-isa.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/119674 school shooting occurs in an unnamed school in Toronto].

* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' has had guest appearances by the comically sinister Rogue Canadian Scientists (in a [[Shout -Out]] to Wolverine's backstory in the X-Men) as well as the Saskatchewanian Sasquatch from Saskatoon.

* Calamities of Nature comments on how [https://web.archive.org/web/20130523031932/http://www.calamitiesofnature.com/archive/?c=198 Canadian currency shamelessly copies American currency].

* In ''[[Antihero for Hire]]'', the Canadians have conquered a decent portion of America in the backstory,. andWith thegenetically onlyengineered dinosaurs. The first Canadian seenmet sowas fara islocal superhero looking basicallylike a walkinghuman tank. Also, apparently ''chainsaw dinosaur jousting'' is a national sport or something. Put simply, don't mess with Canada in AntiheroforhireAntihero for Hire.

* [[Subnormality (Webcomic)|Subnormality]] may not explicitly be set in Canada, but there are enough maple leaves and hockey references imply that it is.

* [[Bibliography (web comic)|Bibliography]] is set in the fictional town Tiltstone, in Canada. So far, it seems to be averting most of the stereotypes.

* Captain Canada! at [[Super -Hero School|Whateley Academy]] in the [[Whateley Universe]] pretty much runs on this trope whenever he tries to psyche himself up to use his powers. The other Canadian students ''hate'' him for this.

* ''[[Loading Ready Run]]'' does a Canada Day special once per year. Some specials will be in-jokes directed at their countrymen, but others play on Canadian stereotypes for laughs:

* [[Memetic Mutation|In Canada, milk comes in bags.]] (N.B.: True, but only in Eastern Canada (excluding Newfoundland) and not to the exclusion of cartons; milk can be purchased in bags in many places, including some localities stateside.) (Actually, I used to get milk in a bag in BC. I freaked out when I couldn't get it that way after moving to the Prairies. Didn't know what to do with a carton. Seemed so much more wasteful.) (Cartons are recyclable at the bottle depot now!)

* All the hosts of ''[[Video Games Awesome (Web Video)|Video Games Awesome]]'' are Canadians, and so love anything set in said country. Their fanbase, in turn, loves teasing them about it.

* [[Phelous]]. In his early ''[[Mortal Komedy]]'' videos, characters frequently spoke of having to travel to "Oatworld."

* Andrew in ''[[Sailor Moon Abridged]]'' speaks with a stereotype Canadian accent and ends every sentence with "eh?", although he denies being Canadian. (He's North Mexican)

* [[EPICMEALTIME (Web Video)|EPICMEALTIME]] takes place in Canada. In fact, Muscle Glasses' dad ''is'' a lumberjack.

* Derek the Bard of ''[[Warning! Readers' Advisory]]'' is from Canada, and points it out in the episode where he mentions "[[World War Z|World War Zed]]ed".

* [[Yogscast Sips (Let's Play)|Sips]] from the [[Yogscast (Let's Play)|Yogscast]] is from Canada. You can occasionally hear him slip in an "eh?" in his videos.

* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' once did a self-parody, calling turkey basters "Canadian Squirt Guns".

* In ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'' episode ''Test of Time'', [[Cloudcuckoolander|Billy]], [[Heroic Sociopath|Mandy]], and [[Black and Nerdy|Irwin]] are studying book reports. Mandy had ''Drums of the American Revolution'', Irwin had ''The Canadian Revolution'', and Billy had ''A Not-So-Brief History of Time''. While Billy was goofing off and not studying at all, Irwin called him on the phone 3 times. The first time, Billy was eating pie and Irwin was dressed as a Mountie. The second time, Billy was watching a monster truck show and Irwin was dressed as a lumberjack. The third time, Billy was taking a bath, and Irwin, oddly enough, instead of wearing an outfit stereotyping Canadian culture, wore a Little Bo Peep outfit.

{{quote| '''Billy''': Do you know what language they speak in Canada?}}

** In "The Secret Snake Club", Lake Ontario was the home of the legendary 8 &nbsp;km long snake Shnissugah, who would protect the nerds from bullies by swallowing them whole. {{spoiler|It turns out that Shnissugah isn't as mighty as the Secret Snake Club thought as it is 8 ''cm'' long, and can't eat the cool kids because Shnissugah says they're full of "trans-fatty acids".}}

* When [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Meatwad]] enlists himself, Frylock, and Master Shake in the Marines, Frylock refuses and goes to Canada, which leads to a ''[[Saw]]'' parody where he is captured by a man in a hockey mask inside a barn with "CANADA" painted on it. The motto was "Come for the crepes, stay for the curling."

{{quote| '''Shake:''' They should focus more on the natural beauty instead of the horror.}}

* From ''[[Dan Vs.]]'' "Canada":

{{quote| '''Dan''': Here's what I know about Canada. [[Anthropomorphic Personification|England and France had a baby out of wedlock, and that baby was Canada]]. Now, as for Canadians, first, they drink maple syrup directly out of the bottle. Second, most canadians are at least [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-bear]].<br />

'''Chris''': I don't think they're actually half-bear, Dan.<br />

'''Dan''': What do you know about it?<br />

'''Chris''': A little bit, actually.<br />

'''Dan''': Okay, Prime Minister, you tell me.<br />

'''Chris''': Canadians thrive in cold climates. They live in the shadow of a massive glacier, blissfully unaware of the horrific fate that would befall them, should the glacier ever collapse. [...] You could put a Canadian in a line up with a bunch normal people, and you wouldn't be able to tell. You have to wait until they drop "eh" or an "aboot," or (this is a good one) they say "sor-y."<br />

* ''Bob and Margaret'' (a cartoon series made in Canada), originally set in London, moved to Toronto during a corporate switch to air the show on [[Can West]]CanWest Global networks. The rather neurotic and stereotypically British titular couple began a new [[Fish Out of Water]] life with the "colonists". Canadian characters on the show are portrayed as varied individuals, some who exhibit these Canadian tropes and many who subvert them. Bob also learns that Indo-Canadians are just as plentiful, and make as good a take-away curry, as Anglo-Indians.

** "I know we don't call as often as we should, and we aren't as well behaved as our goody-two-shoes brother Canada - who by the way has never had a girlfriend... I'm just saying."<br />** Homer, when asked if the family can visit Canada:

{{quote| "Canada? Why should we leave America to visit America junior?"}}

** This is followed by the Simpsons visiting Toronto. They are seen on a bus with an RCMP officer, a hockey player, and a Sasquatch.

* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'':

''Our yaks are really large''<br />

''And they smell like rotting beef carcasses''<br />

''And we have to clean up after them''<br />

''And our saddle sores are the best''<br />

''We proudly wear womens' clothing''<br />

''And searing sand blows up our skirts''<br />

''And the buzzards they soar overhead''<br />

''And poisonous snakes will devour us whole''<br />

''Our bones will bleach in the Sun''<br />

* The ''[[Histeria (Animation)|Histeria!]]'' episode "North America" gives half its focus to Canada in the form of the Kid Chorus singing a song about it, a countdown of the 5 greatest people in Canadian history (with Wayne Gretzky taking both #5 and #1), and Loud Kiddington doing a Cal Worthington-type ad for the Gold Rush and then playing a Mountie who has to get rid of some Native Americans.

* ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'', the "Yukon Yutz" episode.

* The ''[[DuckDuckTales Tales(1987)]]'' episode "Ducky Mountain High" is set in the Great North Woods and parodies many of the region's stereotypes, especially with the local Beagle Boys.

* Ezekiel from ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'' is a walking example oof this. Thick accent and all, eh.

** Canadian references are found all through the Total Drama series, particularly in locale-specific ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]''. Also found in ''6teen'', or really any cartoon from maker ''[[Fresh TV]]''.

* In an episode ofthe ''[[Kim Possible]]'' episode "Job Unfair", a top secret Canadian spy {{spoiler|who's actually Joe the Janitor introduced earlier}} ends his explanation speech with "eh", but it's delivery makes it sound like it's mocking the trope.

* The Blizzarians in ''[[Storm Hawks (Animation)|Storm Hawks]]''. "Who needs all that dirt and rock when you can have nice, cold snow, eh?" The show was made in Canada, so it was probably tongue-in-cheek.

* One of [[Ricky Sprocket: Showbiz Boy|Ricky Sprocket]]'s friends has a Canadian accent.

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Snails in the duo of unicorns Snips & Snails is a good, slightly more subtle example. He speaks at first with a lightened version of the stereotypical accent, to the point where it's ambiguous whether it's a Northeast American one or Stereotypical Canada, Eh? one. Confirmed finally when he in one scene adds the 'Eh?' to one of his sentences in frustration. (Possibly an inside joke as the show is produced in Vancouver)

* [[King of the Hill]] had a family of [[Jerkass]] Canadians who were rude and inconsiderate to everyone. [[Unfortunate Implications|The episode was filled with insults to Canada as the americans were reveling in how better the US was at everything.]] Also Boomhauer hooked up with a french Canadian [[Sarcasm Mode|because they're everywhere in canada, didn't you know?]]

* In an episode of ''[[El Tigre]]'', White Pantera gets depressed and can do nothing but lie on the couch and watch "Canadian soap operas". ("Don't talk to me abootabout love!")

{{quote| ''"Canada gets a bad rap these days, with many Americans looking down on them as our pussier, slightly-British neighbors to the North, but anybody who's ever watched footage of the 1970's Philadelphia Flyers teams knows that Canadians can be some seriously hardcore motherfuckers who would just as soon cold-cock you in the chops as slash you between the legs with a goalie stick. These crazy bastards have an underappreciated history of badassery, and nowadays we don't really respect the fact that Canadians can be hard-drinking, hard-fighting, lumber-jacking motherfuckers who destroy all who oppose them in a flurry of bare knuckles, bizarre accents, and the Metric System."''}}

* Ever heard an angry frenchFrench canadianCanadian [[Foreign Cuss Word|swearing in frenchFrench?]] Even if the words themselves are beyond your grasp, the emotion and passion in their delivery will make it impossible to miss their intent. To expand, English swearing basically has "fuck", "shit", and a few variantionsvariations of "damn" which express generic anger. French Canadian has pretty much ''the entire Church vocabulary'' bastardized to sound ''[[Black Speech|terrifying]]''. "Fuck" is actually a fairly mild word in comparison - francophone children who use it are rarely corrected by their parents. Note that this is also a completely different system of swearing to that from France, which generally sounds ''mildly comical'' to French Canadian ears.

* When [[Michael J. Fox]] joined the Screen Actors Guild, the name "Michael Fox" was already taken. He considered using his real middle initial, "A," but he thought it might remind people that he's Canadian (Micheal "Eh?" Fox) so he went with a "J" instead.
