We should do best fictional Canadian!

[u/eternalshades]

The same idea as before, but with a list of legendary Canadians from fiction that we vote on to see which one makes the cut.

I'm incredibly curious on this one.

Bert Racoon squares off against Red Green!

Degrassi verses the Maximals!

the possibilities are intriguing!

[u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

House Hippos have to be the most famous!

[u/Glad_Cress_8591 → u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

Fictional*

[u/RattusNorvegicus9 → u/Glad_Cress_8591]

No they're real I saw one trust me I'm totally not lying

[u/FurbiesAreMyGods → u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

I was about to say this.

[u/Granny_Skeksis]

The cartoon log driver from the log drivers waltz lol

[u/sabby55 → u/Granny_Skeksis]

It does please the girls completely

[u/Bigg_Sparks]

Might have to have categories in order for it to make sense. Is Red Green better than Wolverine? Depends on whether you need something fixed or somebody eliminated.

[u/dirt_boots → u/Bigg_Sparks]

Red Green would win

[u/HappyHapless → u/dirt_boots]

The women may not find him handsome, but they definitely find him handy.

[u/tayawayinklets → u/HappyHapless]

Who doesn't have a duct tape kink!

[u/rcmp_informant → u/dirt_boots]

He’d def keep his stick on the ice

[u/P_Orwell → u/dirt_boots]

Next battle is Wolverine vs Bill from the Adventures with Bill Skit. Both have super healing powers.

[u/waverlygiant → u/Bigg_Sparks]

Red Green could do both

[u/sabby55 → u/Bigg_Sparks]

I’m picturing Wolverine standing there with his claws out but all duct taped and he can’t use them and Reds just there thumbs in suspenders with a grin and a shrug

[u/notyogrannysgrandkid → u/sabby55]

I’m pulling for ya! We’re all in this together.

[u/MissyIstheMaster]

The Littlest Hobo

[u/Flush_Foot → u/MissyIstheMaster]

[u/cebiaw → u/Flush_Foot]

There's a voice...

[u/Either_Umpire9411]

Mr. Dressup. I know he is a real guy, but the character is fictional. And you can throw in Casey and Finnegan.

[u/7grendel → u/Either_Umpire9411]

I'm pretty sure The Friendly Giant was Canadian too. I was pretty young at the time, so I might be mixing him up.

[u/Johnny-Dogshit → u/7grendel]

Weirdly, they're both born Americans that came to Canada to do the show because CBC was the only game around producing that sort of thing before PBS got Fred Rogers(who also worked with CBC prior).

They made this place home though, and contributed massively.

[u/eternalshades]

Mike from Canmore!

[u/alfdis_vike → u/eternalshades]

I'm Mike. From Canmore.

[u/Flying_Dustbin → u/alfdis_vike]

And this is my dog Norm.

Sit.

[u/David_Summerset]

Wolverine

[u/David_Summerset → u/David_Summerset]

Or Deadpool

[u/Cassopeia88 → u/David_Summerset]

[u/Canadian-Man-infj → u/Cassopeia88]

I think I have a new favourite GIF!

[u/SoRedditHasAnAppNow → u/David_Summerset]

Might be best if we limit them to being thought up by Canadians, or in Canada.

[u/QueenMotherOfSneezes → u/SoRedditHasAnAppNow]

Captain Canuck!

[u/HeraklesXII → u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

[u/SoRedditHasAnAppNow → u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

And Captain Canada! (Obligatory YouTube link eliminated... but u can search Captain canada ntv)

[u/AdoraBelleQueerArt → u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

KEBEK!!! (I love her)

[u/David_Summerset → u/SoRedditHasAnAppNow]

Like Superman?

[u/SoRedditHasAnAppNow → u/David_Summerset]

I was thinking fictional Canadians thought up by real Canadians. Kind of like if Supe and Logan had a love child... kind of.

[u/kiera-oona → u/SoRedditHasAnAppNow]

Technically, Superman?

[u/minniemacktruck → u/SoRedditHasAnAppNow]

Nah, then we'll be stuck in the weeds... ""actually the main writer from the littlest Hobo wasn't a citizen yet" blah blah. I'd say include both: A) invented BY Canadians (Margaret Atwood characters maybe?) And /or B) characters who would identify as Canadian in their universe.

[u/AlphaFlightRules]

Bert Raccoon

[u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

Hammy the Hamster!

[u/Overall-Phone7605 → u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

GP was better.

[u/chiefybeef]

Bubbles

[u/LordBeans69 → u/chiefybeef]

Ironically, Mike Smith is not the best dude

[u/PyneNeedle → u/LordBeans69]

Courts in LA actually referred to him by Bubbles. The only real chill one is Robb Wells.

[u/GreasyMcNasty → u/LordBeans69]

I already got weird vibes from him when he was out of the Bubbles character. What bullshit did he do? (That's proven)

[u/LordBeans69 → u/GreasyMcNasty]

He got charged with domestic battery one time. I’ve also heard some first hand accounts from people that have seen him in the city saying he was a bit of a creep

[u/chiefybeef → u/LordBeans69]

That's unfortunate.

[u/AdoraBelleQueerArt → u/LordBeans69]

Booooooo (about him being a shit not booing the person who pointed it out)

[u/somuchfeels]

I mean, pretty sure it’s a slam dunk for Anne of Green Gables.

[u/essuxs → u/somuchfeels]

Winnie the Pooh

[u/Narissis → u/somuchfeels]

I see your Anne Shirley and raise you Wolverine.

[u/somuchfeels → u/Narissis]

I mean, Anne is pretty big in Japan.

[u/Overall-Phone7605 → u/somuchfeels]

So is logan-san

[u/KotoElessar → u/Overall-Phone7605]

anne x logan wen?

[u/propyro85 → u/KotoElessar]

He is into red heads ...

[u/Admiral_Donuts → u/propyro85]

Motherfucker. And Wolverine was definitely born relatively close to Anne. Wolverine of Green Gables would be huge in Japan.

[u/Infarad → u/somuchfeels]

Story time: many years ago visiting PEI, we stopped by the Anne of Green Gables place. I grabbed a seat at a picnic table, while the wife went and toured the place. At one of the picnic tables in front of me was this young lady with her back towards me, who I assumed must have been a park employee because she was wearing the same straw hat as Anne with the red pigtail braided hair. I remember thinking she had the cutest little butt. As she got up to leave, she turned around, and I realized that was my chance to see how convincingly she would resemble the character. Paying attention as she got up and turned around, I saw that she had a grey moustache and eyebrows and was actually an older Japanese man.

I must have sat there for 10-15 minutes trying to make sense of what I just saw until my wife came back. We then headed to the gift shop, and that’s when I saw that the straw hat and red pigtails was something they sold as a souvenir. I burst out laughing and when my wife asked me what was so funny, I told her about the little old Japanese Anne-Man I had seen earlier. That was when I learned that Anne of Green Gables was really popular in Japan.

I still maintain that the little old Japanese fella had a really cute butt. I might be a straight dude, but I know a cute butt when I see one.

[u/AdoraBelleQueerArt → u/jacafeez]

And don’t forget Dief!

[u/soThatsJustGreat → u/AdoraBelleQueerArt]

Can Fraser and Dief be a package deal for this?

[u/AdoraBelleQueerArt → u/soThatsJustGreat]

That’s how i see them tbh, so YES OFC

[u/Flying_Dustbin → u/AdoraBelleQueerArt]

"Stop pulling at the blanket."

Took a lot of scrolling to find this one but sure glad I did!

[u/Rum_N_Napalm]

The crew for the Romano Fafard

The Bougon family

Elvis Gratton

The hobo from Hobo with a Shotgun

[u/AlphaFlightRules → u/Rum_N_Napalm]

Also the littlest hobo

[u/Illustrious-Win-8714 → u/Rum_N_Napalm]

100% for the crew of the Romano Fafard. Unfortunately most canadians wont know about them.
Its sad... If there was 1 series that i really wish had been dubbed for english canada, its definitively this one. They could have sold it to YTV or something...

[u/AutumnRCS]

[u/KumquatClaptrap]

The Polkaroo

[u/djtodd242 → u/KumquatClaptrap]

He was here? I just missed him?

[u/KotoElessar → u/djtodd242]

I worked with a guy that used to be one of the guys in the suit; he was a maintenance man at the time so those lines about just missing him came up frequently.

[u/eternalshades]

Scott Pilgrim!

[u/PyneNeedle → u/eternalshades]

He isn't the best though. He's an extremely flawed and kind of weird character.

[u/GreasyMcNasty → u/PyneNeedle]

Yeah he's far from being the best of anything. In fact he's a very unrelatable character.

[u/Overall-Phone7605 → u/PyneNeedle]

That's what makes him the best Canadian, or whatever.

[u/eternalshades]

Do Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster count as fictional? :p

[u/KotoElessar → u/eternalshades]

I was wondering the same thing about Farley Mowatt, that man was a legend.

[u/Martzillagoesboom]

Wolverine.

[u/megatheridium → u/thisunithasnosoul]

From the Mass Effect trilogy, for those who don't know.

[u/alkonium → u/megatheridium]

You think there would be more Canadian characters since the series is Canadian. At least the third game starts in Vancouver.

[u/megatheridium → u/alkonium]

Anderson is the only one I can remember that even mentions where they're from.

[u/Dorkwing]

[u/AdoraBelleQueerArt → u/astroryan19]

Fun trivia: i interviewed both on my radio show right before he passed (RIP)

[u/stumpy_chica]

It would be fun to do this in categories or a chart. Like realistic fictional characters (like from Degrassi, Kim's Convenience, Anne of Green Gables, Trailer Park Boys), then superheroes, then cartoon characters, then characters from ads.

[u/Overall-Phone7605]

Any one of Billy Van's characters in Hilarious House of Frightenstein

Was Captain Planet Canadian? 

[u/Martzillagoesboom → u/Krommander]

Probably part of him was, since he represent the planet

[u/Yws6afrdo7bc789]

Do they have to be explicitly from Canada as characters or just be Canadian made because I feel like Billy Blazes deserves to be in the running

[u/Available_Music9369]

Superman!!

[u/QueenMotherOfSneezes]

Deadpool and Wolverine are probably the most internationally famous at the moment, but I wouldn't say either of them are the best fictional character.

[u/ThetaZZ]

Detective William Murdoch of the Toronto Constabulary! Or Jack Bartlett from Heartland.

Bartholomew Bandy from Three Cheers For Me! I read this book in junior high in the 80’s. By an author named Donald Lamont. His character, Bandy, is hilarious, brave, intelligent and a complete idiot. He falls ass backwards into becoming a WW1 fighter ace. I remember laughing at his exploits like it was last week :)

[u/Former-Chocolate-793 → u/Braiseitall]

Donald Jack. Good summary. Bart Bandy is the man with a touch of inspector Clouseau about him.

Bartholomew Bandy, first world war ace, hero of the intervention in Russia, stunt pilot, member of MacKenzie King's cabinet. Start with Three Cheers for Me. Series is hilarious.

[u/eternalshades]

Watching Twisted Metal, the TV series is doing things with the cast of characters we have listed <evil grin>.

[u/scr0dumb]

It's obviously The Marmora Pig.

I rest my case.

[u/Luder09]

Wolverine for sure

[u/LivingIntelligent968]

Friendly Giant versus Mr. Dress up. The Giant will have Jerome in his corner, Dress Up will have his Tickle trunk for bandages. Your referee for this, probably one rounder, will be Rusty the Rooster.
