The most common stereotype of people from the great white north land of UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} is that they are [[NiceGuy nice]], polite, and [[ApologizesALot apologetic to a fault]], with American works depicting Canada as a QuirkyNeighborCountry (with [[CanadaEh its own trope]]).

* Franchise/MarvelComics:

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' titled "Uh Oh, Canada", in which a Canadian couple house-swaps with Boomhauer, depicts said Canadian neighbors as this. They are [[BitchInSheepsClothing incredibly rude and condescending]], constantly talking down on Hank and company in a very smug and [[PassiveAggressiveKombat passive-aggressive manner]], and the husband, in particular, has an extreme case of UsefulNotes/MisplacedNationalism that makes Hank's patriotism look downright sensible. When they leave, [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing everyone in the neighborhood is glad to see them go]].

Not these people. Some Canadians brush off the pleasantries, have no time to talk ''aboot'' the weather or any other small talk. In fact, they're just as cold as their weather, and don't give two craps about politeness, their apologies have [[BackhandedApology a snarky tone]] to them, more so when interacting with their Yankee neighbors, Heaven forbid if they're {{mistaken|Nationality}} for their Yankee neighbors, and they are TheDreaded in the likes of [[CanadianEqualsHockeyFan ice hockey]] or [[UsefulNotes/CanucksWithChinooks warfare]] by their rivals. Double points if they're from [[FrenchJerk Quebec]][[note]]Usually downplayed in French media when French-Canadians show up, as the accent sounds inherently silly rather than crass to metropolitan French speakers.[[/note]] or Alberta, as both tend to be stereotyped as a LowerClassLout region similarly to America's DeepSouth.

* Musical comedy duo MacLean & MacLean are quite possibly the dirtiest example of this trope. Even Gary & Blair themselves have stated their foul-mouthed and often borderline offensive lyrics are the reason they couldn't get any singles on the radio. Indeed their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=194DM8mIYSA music]] takes the piss out of many, even for the 70's, taboo and DudeNotFunny subjects such as suicide, various life-altering medical conditions, even Mao Zedong's death. It's telling the MacLean brothers refer to their genre of comedy as 'Toilet Rock'.

* ''VideoGame/FarCry6'': Sean [=McKa=]y, AKA "The ''Yanqui''", the [[TokenMinority only non-Yaran]] of the main villains, is a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive greedy businessman]] who works for [[BigBad Anton]] [[TheGeneralissimo Castillo]] by shipping [[CureForCancer Viviro]] out of [[BananaRepublic Yara]] for him (when he's not being an ArmsDealer instead). Despite his nickname, [=McKay=] is [[MistakenNationality actually from Canada, not America]], but he's not polite or friendly, and if anything, [[MoreDespicableMinion he's even more evil than Anton himself]]. A FatBastard of a SmugSnake, and a shameless opportunist to boot, he's prone to casually swearing, displays traces of [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain bigotry]] (making snide comments about ponchos to the Yaran Dani, calling [[LaResistance Libertad]] "[[MaliciousMisnaming Libertards]]", and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking interrupting and talking over his own ally Admiral Ana Benitez]]), and according to background notes, he [[AbusiveParents abuses his daughters]] and [[DomesticAbuse his wife]] ''and'' [[PedoHunt raped and impregnated a pre-teen Yaran girl]]. To make things worse, [=McKay=] is the one who develops the [=PG240X=] (the "[[PoisonIsEvil Poison]]" used to grow Viviro) into chemical weapons, which he infamously uses to [[HeroKiller kill]] [[spoiler:Jonron and El Tigre]], and he [[KickTheDog afterwards asks if his victim's brains melted out of their nostrils and ears when they died]]. Possibly the only quality of [=McKay=]'s that comes even remotely close to redeeming is that [[CardCarryingVillain he knows he's a monster, and doesn't try to hide it]], as we see in this dialogue between him and [[TheHero Dani Rojas]]:

* ''Series/{{Letterkenny}}'': In the small Ontario town of Letterkenny, the main characters, made up of farmers, drug addicts, and hockey players, are constantly "chirping" at each other with colorful insults when they aren't all-out brawling. See the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rSBmOgpcDE first scene]] of the first episode for a prime example.

Not these people. Some Canadians brush off the pleasantries, have no time to talk ''aboot'' the weather or any other small talk. In fact, they're just as cold as their weather, and don't give two craps about politeness, their apologies have [[BackhandedApology a snarky tone]] to them, more so when interacting with their Yankee neighbors, Heaven forbid if they're {{mistaken|Nationality}} for their Yankee neighbors, and they are TheDreaded in their elements in the likes of [[CanadianEqualsHockeyFan ice hockey]] or [[UsefulNotes/CanucksWithChinooks warfare]] by their rivals.

Of course, being a rude Canadian doesn't necessarily mean evil; they can be honest and can see the bullcrap, with a genuinely nice or AffablyEvil Canadian being a {{foil}} to the character.

** Terrence and Phillip are a foul-mouthed, irreverent Canadian comedy duo who the four main boys adore.
** Their female counterparts the Queef Sisters equally vulgar, though it's only the male gender that takes offense to their brand of comedy.

* Downplayed with Robin Scherbatsky of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''. Coming from being [[RaisedAsTheOppositeGender raised as a boy]] and her disillusionment of being a {{teen idol}} in the vein of Music/AlanisMorissette, she is [[SugarAndIcePersonality cold and aloof]], has no time or care for flattery, gets annoyed when she is made fun of her Canadian background, focuses more on her career over romance, is TheLadette of the gang, a GunNut, and constantly screams at the bubbly and nice Patrice. Yet this demeanor makes Ted completely head over heels for her throughout the series.

Despite his nickname, [=McKay=] is [[MistakenNationality actually from Canada, not America]], but he's not polite or friendly, and if anything, [[MoreDespicableMinion he's even more evil than Anton himself]].

* LetsPlay/ProtonJon has garnered a reputation for himself of not only being a Canadian content creator, as LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} loves to point out over on ''LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys'', but also for having a very noticeable HairTriggerTemper over how [[BornUnlucky unlucky]] he gets.

* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'': Bandit Keith [[{{fauxreigner pretends to be American]], but is later revealed to actually be Canadian. Either way, he's a rude bully and a jerk.
