Let My Love Open the Dore
Attention unsuspecting American audience: Meet the newest hilarious Canadian personality that you will soon steal and pretend like he has always been your own (i.e. pay him a living wage for his talent.)
His name is Jon Dore, and I predict he will be the next Kid in the Hall to invade your shores.
The premise of his show is that in each episode he deals with a situation (such as trying to quit smoking, or being tested for infertility) and interviews real people along the way in his quest to solve the issue. But this ain't like no Borat-like make-fun-of-people-who-don't-know-you're-making-fun-of-their-racism bullshit. It's much more post-modern than that. Oh, you'd better believe it.
He does say stupid things, but it mostly just makes him look like the idiot. Plus, the people he interviews are well aware that this is a joke.
I know, it doesn't sound like it would be funny, but it is. To prove it, here is Jon interviewing a pharmacist about STDs: (not particularly safe for work)
And just to temp you further, here is one of my favourite interviews so far:
(And, by the way, if you don't want to just crumble potato chips and Oreos over this adorable child and eat him with a bowl of ice cream, you have no soul. Seriously, if you don't agree... I think you should leave. Now.)
It's odd, but these are probably the two clips that have the least amount of swearing and objectionable material in them that I could possibly have posted. But if you like swearing and objectionable humour, along with a healthy dose of blasphemy and poop jokes, than this is the show for you*! (I'm looking at YOU Comedy Central.)
Well, that's pretty much it. The Jon Dore Television Show. Coming soon to a cable network near you**!
You're welcome, America.
*If you'd like to see more of this show, just go on YouTube and put in "Jon Dore" and you'll see loads of them. However, they're just clips, not full shows, so some of the gags won't work for you since there are call backs from earlier in the show.
**Of course, I mean an American cable network. It's already on the Canadian Comedy Network, but that doesn't really count, now does it?
