As a Canadian, I'm just glad he didn't talk about the fact that we are required to make a pilgrimage to the Moose at least once in our lives, and dance naked before it, slathered in maple syrup under a gibbous moon.

The Norwegians are getting their revenge for being forgotten as the first Europeans to find Canada

[BloodMoonDream]

As a Moose Javian, Id like everyone to know that the moose’s name is Mac and they had to build a barrier around Mac because people kept spray painting his balls blue.

Canada: I got the biggest moose statiue

Norway: Imma bout to end this kid's career.

I'm Canadian, and been to that moose in moose jaw - it's a cool city, there was these bootleg tunnels where al Capone smuggled alcohol. You pay to go on a tour there, and there's actors - it was fun!

[heatherbleu]

That T1000 version is pretty tight tho.

Just want to say outside of Saskatchewan we didn’t know this moose statue existed... but now we need a bigger and shinier one. ☝🏼

[rmarques]

This is a sad day to Canada and, therefore, the rest of the world.

[Postkassa]

As a Norwegian and half moose myself, I must say we do know which fight to pick. Fun fact, the T1000 is glazed with Canadian tears, hence the shine.

[prestonfontana]

Fact of the day: Moose Jaw residents are referred to as Moose Javians.

Source: A Saskatonian very glad that Saskatchewan, Canada is getting a shout out through Moose Jaw, lol :3

I’m a Norwegian from Saskatchewan...conflicted

[ABDIRAHMAN_A]

Who else likes how he says “meanwhile”.

[mmcat]

As a woman, I thought the 'seal you in a wall' - joke was hilarious 😂
Looking for to work for the show

I was never comfortable with that moose being built on public land. We have separation of church and state in Canada for a reason.

[addimosiondz]

I have seen the moose plenty, I am from Saskatchewan where Moose Jaw is located... It is a glorious moose, loved by many *all hail Canada's most important moose*

[tenthousandquills]

You'll never take away our anatomically correct buffalo here in Northern Canada, Norway! Only top Canadian engineers and sculptors know the dimensional secrets to those giant, metal testicles. The fact that some passersby occasionally spray paint the giant brown sack neon orange is inconsequential. It only lends to that gilded nutsack's glory. Earlton, Ontario, Canada: There's a Buffalo Attached to Those Things!

[azzazzazzaaaa]

Those damn swedes is talking about making a moose that is gonna be 154 ft tall.
So it becomes clear now that this feud has distracted us both.
And as a Norwegian I think that now we and the Canadians should put our feud aside and unite against our common enemy... Sweden!

That Eric comparison was unfair to bland, starchy, oddly shaped tubers everywhere. Someone still wants to put the potato in their mouths, after all.

[aldenheterodyne]

I love it when comedians breaks character- usually in reaction to their audience. Something about it is hilarious to me, but they should only do it maybe a few times throughout the show, and only when there was a genuine reaction from the audience.

[theColJessep]

Fun fact: The moose statues are 3 feet taller during winter.
