Need Some Jokes About Americans From Canadian Perspective
I am giving a speech at a function soon and everyone knows me as 'The Canadian'- they want me to talk about the relationship between Canadians and Americans and I can find thousands of jokes about Canada, but hardly any about Americans from a 'Canadian' point of view. Anyone know jokes/colloquialisms that would be good (somewhat clean) for a speech? It will be for a charitable benefit and the audience will be all adults, many retired athletes who have a great sense of humour. Anything would be appreciated as it's the only thing I am missing. Thanks! You can PM the jokes if you want.

You dont need to tell jokes. Just give facts.

Discuss the state of the USD, health care system, housing crisis, falling real estate values, unemployment rates etc. and you'll be fine. Just go look at what Americans were saying about Canadians 8 years ago and reverse the two countries.
Also, bring up the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Those are always comical topics.

I think discussing obesity rates would be a good ice-breaker.

I need something light hearted and humorous- teasing Americans for things, like they tease me about moose meat, saying 'eh', hockey, beer, being too cold, etc.

By a show of hands, how many of you have crippling medical bills?
If you're Canadian, you don't understand this question.

Why did the American cross the road?
To invade the other side!

How do you get 50 Canadians out of a swimming pool?
...ask them politely.

Explain to them how other countries participate in the Olympics, since they do not broadcast any other athletes that arent American.

The Americans are losing the longest game of Hide and go seek ever, with Osama bin Laden.
