Besides the "Better Off Ted outtakes" (comment on another comment), this also brought to mind Chappelle's Show "Player Haters Ball", Letterkenny ("chirps", etc.), and The Inbetweeners. I'm sure there are others rattling around in my head I'm forgetting ...

- motohagiography 3y agoChirping is a rural tradition and sport, and a very, very refined Canadian art. Other than Letterkenny, it doesn't appear in our media culture because people from the city are usually not equipped to survive the wreckage. You really have to be gentle with them because they can carry the insult for life. The only people I have heard who come close to the levels of Canadian chirpery were from Texas, and even they were from at least a few hours clear of Austin. The art is in never actually destroying the bridge, but you get points for nuking it into glass.
