I have to do a skit in my french class.. and I'm supposed to be a stereotypical Canadian. Now I know a lot of you would have a better idea than me as to what a stereotypical Canadian is like... PLEASE
pleaseeeee (yeah, i know stereotypes arent cool, but unfortunately no one will understand the skit unless we make it SUPER obvious who we're supposed to be)
well i know canadians are crazy for pountine...and like to say "hosers", and "eh?"...and they are proud of their mounties, bacon, and hockey! thats all i can think of right now
Snowsuits; "Mack Jackets" which are those plaid jackets that lumberjacks wear; Lumberjacks; Poutine; Maple Syrup; Winter/Igloos; Aboot [but you can't do that in french]; ummmmm-the loonie
haha.. i should just carry some maple syrup around even though it has nothing to do with my skit. awesome.
Is it a French Canadian you're supposed to be? Bleach blonde hair, fake tan (preferably brownish skin that looks like you've smeared gravy browning on yourself), pack of smokes tucked into your T-shirt sleeve (turn up the end like you roll up jeans, tuck smokes into band that forms), short miniskirt, gum, try to look like a 60 year old dressing like a 13 year old. Find a picture of "JoJo Simard" to get an idea. If you're a guy, fringed leather jacket, Deep Purple T-shirt, jeans, permed mullet and moustache, smokes as above. Find a picture of "Doug Henning"
What to carry depends on whether you're supposed to be a French Canadian, an Ontarian, a Maritimer or a West Coaster. FRENCH CANADIAN - see above ONTARIAN - http://www.thedenial.com/tuque/handsome.jpg MARITIMER - Carry around a large jug of rum, talk in an exaggerated Irish brogue, listen to tons of fiddle music and complain about your welfare cheque. ALBERTAN - Think Texan, but polite. Gun, WWJD T-shirt, http://www.valleyskeptic.com/stephen_harper_village_peop.jpg WEST COASTER - hippie clothes, free the whales, enormous joint. Speak Mandarin.
i'm a girl.. and i dont think the miniskirt will work cause I'm presenting the winter weather report.. but thanks! oh, and yeah, preferably french canadian.. though beyond the language, i dont really know the difference..
Holy CHRIST OK Quebecers are TOTALLY different from the rest of like, reality. RE: and i dont think the miniskirt will work cause I'm presenting the winter weather report.. Oh, yes, it will.
dude, how would i know the difference? i live in Idaho. I'm lucky I know what an African American looks like. A miniskirt in winter? .. umm but.. theres snow? are you sure?
ahha stephen harper --ralph kein is much funnier http://static.flickr.com/22/25741946_53a00add0c_o.jpg this is when he was mayor... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Klein ahha "let those eastern bastards freeze in the dark"
Okay, Quebecois French is totally different from French. French weather report would be like "Dans la region de l'Alsace-Lorraine, il pleut, et, a Paris, il va etre tres beau, des temperatures de 35 degrees, beaucoup de soleil, n'oubliez pas votre creme solaire." Quebec: "Ben crisse c'est un temps d'chien la-bas, tabarnouette. Et a Paris, y'aura fuckol de pluie, allez suntanner mon pitoune." The makeup/look CLASSIC French Canadian - fake tan, attempting to look half her age. And here's how to dress, thanks to Mitsou And how to speak (remember, through your NOSE, like you're blocked up. Instead of toi, moi it's moue, toue (accent aigu on the e)) http://www.notam02.no/~hcholm/altlang/ht/Quebecois.html For maximum comic effect, have a smoke lit and be eating french fries covered with gravy and melted cheese.
Oh and wear a Quebecois Flag..... http://www.flagline.com/countries/images/ca-quebec.jpg Sing "Gens du Pays" at the end of the skit Ah hell with it, submit yr script we'll get er funny and realistic.
Oh, and the bad weather --- blame it on the Federal Government. "Grace a Rene Levesque (at this point, cross yourself) il va etre beau a Beauharnois, mais grace au federal, ca fait un temps de chien a Matane, ben crisse tabanak de ciboire."
RE: whats "fuckol"? Pronounced "f*ck - all " - means "nothing" same in English "I tried hitting the switch and got f**k all"
