    We can do anything if we do it together.
    You can say the same for Mean Girls, which was another thing I liked before it was cool to.

    Well it's not something a British person would get the humor of as easily, due to it being culturally based in a specific area in America.

    I mean, I don't get the humor of it.

    idk why i didn't think of that, but that makes sense.

    I'm Canadian and I'm capable of identifying with it.

    It did admittedly take a couple years of watching it alongside     The Simpsons and Family Guy for the humour of it to fully sink in, though.

    i would imagine Canada is culturally more similar to America than Britain is

    could be wrong, but it seems likely to me

    I've definitely had fewer "wow, America is weird" moments from Section or Barcode or Pyridrym than I have from you or Alice Luna, so...

    it's not a response i like getting when i explain Canada stuff to people, so I don't give it when I hear stuff about the States.

    there are few things i loathe more than canada stereotyping, especially from people who've never been here.

    i find cultural differences interesting

    i guess i shouldn't use words like "weird" probably, but for the record if i say that about Canada it's not a condemnation of the place or the people, it's just surprise that something i assumed would be the same was different

    yeah i mean, differences are fine, and canada's a small enough place population-wise that almost every Canadian that makes significant use of the Internet is either from Southern Ontario, Vancouver, or Quebec (and Quebec's the only one of those 3 with a significantly different culture). it just bugs me that...well...there's no way to say this without sounding goofy, so I'm going to just say it: there's a slightly nationalist meta-joke americans maintain of canada being some absurd place (which comes up every time you first mention to an american that you're canadian) and I don't like it!!

    I used to say that Mean Girls was the Monty Python and the Holy Grail for the tumblr generation; I'm not sure if the quotes are quite as widespread now but damn if they didn't used to be

    Nobody I've ever talked to was from Calgary

    Calgary, which appears eerily like Denver's Canadian twin, despite probably being less liberal

    I remember watching Mean Girls last year with Anonus, who was seeing it for the first time.

    About 20 minutes in I realized that he would probably have a very different experience than I did watching for the first time, because he'd already been bomarded with all the quotable lines for the past 10 years.

    I think the funniest part about it is how it was written by the same guys as Beavis and Butthead.  And the random Chuck Mangione.
