FeedThe Funniest Leaf Thing You’ll Ever See
October 28, 2010 in Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs Tags: Leaf's Dutch youtube about winning the Stanley Cup
I thought up until now Danno sending along the video of the parrot saying “Go Habs Go” was the best thing in the history of the world. But Danno, bless his heart, has really outdone himself this time, sending me this:

It’s somehow comforting to know that along with death and taxes there will always be mockery of Maple Leafs fans. All is right with the world.

Tyg, this video is just way too funny. I’m still laughing.

At some point, mocking the Leafs feels like challenging a dyslexic to a spelling bee.
October 28th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Hey Robert. Yes, like death and taxes, we mock. This video tickled my funny bone.

Dennis, it’s reported that the owner of this establishment puts the same sign up every year and is still in business…

Hey Dennis,I believe that this would cause laughter in the Maple Leaf dressing room,I just howled when I watched this.Good on Danno ,everyone needs a laugh.

Danno, when Leaf fans gather in packs to hunt you down, I’ll be at your side taking them on.

I know, Derry. I watched it three times in a row and laughed like crazy every time. I’m still laughing. And I think you’re right – even the Leafs might find it funny. Not sure about their fans, though.

More laughs. Boston 2, Toronto 0 after two.

Love it! The video, the irony of the TSN video, the loss, EVERYTHING!!!
Disclaimer: I live in Toronto (grew up dans la belle province, moved to TO 6 years ago for school). So I get the MSM coverage of the leafs that you all get, but like x100000000. Not only the local media, but a significant portion of their fan base also overreacts beyond all imagination to every win, loss, or mini streak. And being well-known as a proud and loud Habs fan, I have to suffer this foolish optimism all the more than anyone else!
So everything like this makes my life just a little bit sweeter.

That being said – my roommate (Wings fan) and I think we’re responsible for the Leafs suckage – We both moved here just after the lockout, the leafs haven’t been to the playoffs since the lockout. We didn’t live in Toronto before the lockout, the leafs always made the playoffs before the lockout… Draw the conclusions that you will!

Danny, I’m still chuckling about this video. It really tickled the old funny bone.
October 29th, 2010 at 6:15 am
Danny, were you ever up in Orillia where I grew up?

Enjoyed the fans response in Boston last night as the fans serenaded the Leaf organization with a “Thankyou Kessel ” chant. Priceless.
And now watching the video clip……nearly fell off my chair laughing. This was a great way to start my day. Thanks for the pick me up Dennis. We need it after the slow start in Sens land. JW.

The laughter is infectious, it’s very well done.
Now while the Dutch were the last successful invaders of this fair isle the language didn’t catch on so I’m unsure of what is really happening but sense that there is a rather sad story behind it all (sadder even than the Leafs).
Any idea what they’re talking about?

@ bluebayou – I found the original on youtube – it appears to be from a dutch SNL-type of show. The premise is that the interviewer is talking to victims of medical mishaps, and the Leafs fan he laughs at had botched vocal cord surgery, giving him the high voice. The Ducks fan in the audience has a similar mishap, but giving him the low croaky voice.
Much funnier with the new & improved subtitles though!
@ Dennis, nope, can’t say that I’ve ever found myself up in Orillia yet, although I do have friends from up in that neck of the woods

@ Bluebayou and Danny – It is originally from a show called In De Gloria and Danny is correct about the skit.
I think the Leafs version is lot funnier than the original — which I find a little mean-spirited now that I know what they were saying.
Here’s the clip with subtitles…
