there must be something in the water in
the great white north Canada Wow
must have been cold welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
Canadian comedians
check out the Flies what is that was
that weed on there one great nice flag
number 10 Seth Rogen kicking off our
list is one of canada’s best young
comedians since his Freaks and Geeks
days Rogen wrote for DES Ali G show
before showing a wider audience what he
could do in the 40 year old virgin you
just took me the nuts no look do a
little fleshy patch rear nuts used to be
it was knocked up super bad and
pineapple Express that made him a
household name showed off his deadpan
sarcasm and held up the Vancouver STONER
stereotype number 9 Russell Peters Oh
somebody brought a kid good job huh good
job
this Brampton born stand-up is one of
the funniest and most successful on the
circuit Canadian or not anyone can
relate to his routines but Canadians
especially connect to his unique racial
experiences so somebody going to get a
hurt real bad he also opened for Charlie
Sheen on the Canadian leg of his violent
torpedo of truth tour they can’t all be
hits number eight Martin Short this
Hamilton Ontario native began on the
legendary Canadian sketch comedy show
sctv and has made us laugh ever since
the situation yeah baby you gotta chill
the fuck out you might say well
douchebags characters like Edie grimly
followed him to Saturday Night Live
where he became a formidable
impersonator Hugh jiminy glick and great
stage performances and you’ve got a star
in your hands memorable roles in three
amigos Mars Attacks and father of the
bride reminded us he’s one of the
funniest Canadians around number seven
Norma Donald you either love him or you
hate him born in Quebec City MacDonald
would have ranked higher if he didn’t
make jokes about renouncing his home
country while his celebrity
impersonations on SNL weren’t exactly
dead-on they were entertaining as
yeah I found this backstage Jeff
oversized that funny no it’s not Jerry
it’s funny funny because it’s that
bigger than ya controversy is this guy’s
middle lame and while that gets him into
trouble he’s still alive and kick’n I’ve
never seen so many dead hookers in all
my life
number six Phil Hartman is released from
Great Britain to Somalia intercepted by
World War born in Brantford Ontario
Hartman’s first foray into comedy came
when he and Paul Reubens created the
characters pee-wee Herman and captain
Carl Hartman eventually took his
unmistakable voice and impersonations to
SNL where he flourished fun swing baby
platinum you may remember him from such
brilliant Simpsons roles as Troy McClure
and Lionel Hutz I’m Troy McClure and
I’ll leave you with what we all came
here to see hardcore nudity in addition
to movie and TV roles of plenty
including a show with fellow funny
Canuck Dave Foley you’re from Canada
Wisconsin act Wisconsin cool the Badger
State the nation’s Dairyland
great country out there number five
Leslie Nielsen surely you can’t be
serious
I am serious and don’t call me sugar
most remember the Saskatchewan born
actor is a hilarious comedian but he
actually started in drama good thing he
made the switch or we wouldn’t have the
memorable naked gun series by the way I
faked every organ Nielsen actually
became the king of spoofs with his first
comedic turn in airplane this woman has
to be gotten to a hospital hospital what
is it it’s a big building with patients
but that’s not important right now but
his most Canadian role came when he
portrayed a retired curling champ in men
with brooms number four John Candy this
lovable Torontonian used impressive
impersonations and hilarious characters
to win fans on SCTV
a breakout role in splash made room for
side-splitting comedies like Spaceballs
Cool Runnings Uncle Buck and of course
Canadian bacon new creams are so sneaky
his name is even on the Canadian
Football League’s Grey Cup as former
part owner of the Toronto Argonauts you
can’t get more Canuck than that number
three Mike Meyers I’m so full of
anticipation that my jet
sucked up into my body Kevin Wayne
Campbell Austin Powers Shrek he’s done
it all after growing up in Scarborough
Ontario Myers built an SNL cast of
characters that included Linda Richmond
host of coffee talk and dieter host of
sprockets but it was the pairing of
Wayne and Garth that skyrocketed him to
film fame I’m sorry I know it’s your mom
but I’m afraid she’s a babe
and only a Canadian would have hockey
plays such a huge role in a movie
number two Dan Aykroyd there’s no other
pair of Czech brothers who Cruise and
swing so successfully in tight slacks
this Ottawa born blues brother prospered
on SNL with original characters like two
wild and crazy guys and Beldar conehead
you have stimulated me let us return to
the sick chamber immediately of course
his unparalleled writing skills and
memorable catchphrase didn’t hurt either
Jane you ignorant slut comedies like the
great outdoors and ghost busters
solidified Aykroyd spot on this list and
while he was in a movie called my fellow
Americans will let that go since he was
also in Canadian bacon number one Jim
Carrey coming in at number one is the
man nicknamed rubber face mmm you are
one pathetic loser his stand-up routines
poked fun at Canada but this Newmarket
Ontario boy earned his stripes as the
white guy on in living color
his slapstick talent made him a star in
a Sven Shura the mask Dumb and Dumber
and Bruce Almighty but Jim Carrey tops
this list simply because he got famous
for talking out of his butt thank you
for all your cooperation by the way do
you have a mint
perhaps some Binaca with so many
hilarious comedians coming out of Canada
we’re sure we’ve missed a few who’s your
favorite
