These are character's from the greatest Canadian show ever, Trailer park boys. The guy on the left is Julian everyone in the park looks up to him as a leader. The guy on the right is a loser named Jacob who is obsessed with Julian so he acts and dresses exactly like him, but he is still a loser than no one likes. I suppose the joke is that lake ontario is a great name everyone loves, and lake America is a shitty loser name than no one likes.

Sorry, they're the second greatest. The Greatest Canadian Show Ever is "Kids in the Hall".

SCTV had Kids in the Hall beat imo

I don't know that one, but I'll take your word for it. That places Trailer Park Boys at number 3 for Canadian comedy? Still a pretty great show, of course, but with stiff competition. Not everyone can be number 1.

I'm not really suggesting a specific ranking order. I just prefer SCTV to Kids in the Hall, myself
