As a Canadian that has been living out of country for the past 6 years I found this hilarious. My whole life I grew up thinking we didn't have accents and spoke very similar to Americans. However the longer I am away, each time I return for a visit I find we sound hilarious. I can barely stop from laughing during the first few days of a trip home. So all in all, good show eh.

I like how everyone is complaining about the accent and not about the moose as a the show's producer. Apparently moose produce shows in Canada, but they DO NOT talk with those accents!I will admit that when I was in Toronto only a few words seemed Canadian in tone and from watching the Canadian show Being Erica, filmed in Vancouver, they too sound pretty normal to me as well (minus one word). I'm guessing it's the towns in between that sounds similar enough to the way SNL exaggerated the Canadian accent? <-- Exaggeration because who wants to see an accurate portrayal of people in a comedy skit? Somewhat accurate, now that's comedy gold.As for the person who complained about how not all Canadians are friendly... really?! I wish that was the biggest problem we had in America. Can you imagine a terrorist saying "Oh, we're not going after those friendly Americans." I wish!

If only they had said the show was midwestern, not Canadian, this would have been hysterical...all Americans know about Minnesota/North Dakota so it would have been more relatable. I don't doubt that Canadians sound like that near the Great Lakes, I think people are thinking that Canadians in Vancouver/Montreal/Toronto/Quebec etc. don't sound like that, which is true of course. There were two brilliant lines: Zach's reply to the question about his mother, and Wiig's "you can go on computers." LOL.

so they are supposed to be in Winnipeg, right?
One of their first lines is "well she's up in Manitoba so she might not make it"
Um. Winnipeg is in Manitoba. Good job.and virtually no one in canada sounds like that

Canadians do not talk like that. And not all of them are nice, in fact, I know a lot of canadians that are just plain jerks. I know this is SNL and this is supposed to be funny or something, but this is just over the top and ridiculous. Personally, I find this offensive.I like laughing at my own people just as much as anybody... but this is overboard.

I like poking fun at ourselves as much as any Canadian but really this is assinine. Lorne what were you thinking? This is not funny.
