I was wondering what everyone thought of Canadian comedy is it the same as American in your opinion? We here a lot about the difference between American and British comedy. I like to think of Canadian comedy as a blend of American and British comedy.

Anyway here is a sample of 2 of my favorite Canadian shows I'd like to hear your opinions.

Corner Gas
  

The Jon Dore Show
  
In this clip Jon goes on a quest to rid himself his fear of bats.

If I have ever seen Canadian comedy, I wouldn't have known it's origin. I probably haven't seen Canadian comedy shows or anything. Probably heard some stand-up though.

SCTV was distinct.  Any time I hear a Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis quote, I immediately know it's Canadian in origin.  Same with Corner Gas.

I dont see a big difference between Canadian and American Comedy.
Unless its stand up comedy.

I think it's odd, but I've only seen a skit done by a group of HS students. I didn't get it and I don't want to get it.

Corner Gas has some good jokes.  I prefer American comedy, though.
