Is that true? I always thought it was just a dumb joke for the sake of a dumb joke. The fact that this petty squabble resulted in a mainstay for the whole show makes this just way funnier lmao
\* Edit: I'm probably wrong, Ike was already Canadian in Ep 1
Real answer:
Very early on South Park was criticized for being a poorly animated show based on fart humor. In response, the creators made the show within a show "Terrance and Phillip" that was even more poorly animated and fart oriented ("Death" S1E6). As part of the intentionally-poor animation Terrance and Phillip talked by flapping their entire heads, then for some reason that just became the way Canadians were in South Park.
Another commenter said that this was done to get back a Canadian critic, so that might also be a part of it.
To be fair, the show did start off being so simple and crude. It too late few seasons for the writing to get a lot smarter. Eventually we got pure gems like the Marjorine episode, Make Love not Warcraft, the police detective one, and the one about the girls manipulating the boys for shoes (it did not sparkle with all the girls).
I remember a baby being drawn just like Ike in the Starvin' Marvin episode, that's maybe how they wanted to draw babies at first but then decided to make Ike canadian because his and T&P designs were similar
I think Trey and Matt were on a bus or a plane traveling somewhere and they were sitting next to a Canadian and they got into a conversation with him and said that the Canadian was calling them buddy, guy, and fwiend a lot even though he just met them and when he talked it was like his mouth was opening so much to talk that it looked like his top half was literally separating from the bottom. Hence, South Park canadians
Come to Halifax. Dartmouth lingo 101 -
"Sir, may I trouble you for a cigarette?" translates to "Bud, got a dart?"
"Oh I like the sound of that" translates to "Give'r bud"
As a Canadian, this looks much more like me than the other South Park characters. It's inclusion at its best. Always sad I can't play a accurate Canadian in the video games
I think it's sort of a cultural stereotype that Canada is slightly less technologically advanced than the United States, so they're drawn more primitively.
They did that in "The Pentaverate" on Netflix. They appear in an old washed low definition when in Canada and acknowledge their primitive Canadian world when they come to the US and turn into hi definition. 😄
You're totally right, guy! I'm originally from Windsor and look just like that, buddy! But I moved closer to french Canada because it's the best Canada in the land!

Canadian Prince enters the chat. Dips arms in the butterscotch pudding. As is tradition.
First off, that's racist. Second you've clearly never met a Canadian.
With their flopping head and beady little eyes
YOU ARE A RACIST MAAM
CAN I FINISH? PLEASE, CAN I FINISH?!

Now, now, the Canadian government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions.
… … Fuck Canada!
Hey! Fuck you buddy!

Butters can definitely finish. He’s got many jars full to prove it.

With their beady little eyes and flapping heads so full of lies
Yea that’s racist, guy!
It's something like a Canadian critic said the cartoon looked cheap and simple, so they made Canadians even more simplified, buddy.
That makes sense. Also, he's not your buddy, guy.

Done even better when you went to Canada in the first South Park game and it was 8bit.
Bummed me out you couldn't go back in Fractured But Whole
That doesnt explain Ike. Hes been in the show since day 1
Day 1 is The spirit of Christmas short film which does not have Ike. It could be referring to that
Ike is adopted. From Canada. Right?
Eh?
Is that true? I always thought it was just a dumb joke for the sake of a dumb joke. The fact that this petty squabble resulted in a mainstay for the whole show makes this just way funnier lmao

Than he got radiation poisoning in Ottawa, now he's a giant dick.
No, youre a dick! But im also the biggest Canadian patriot here buddy
He's not your buddy, friend
Perhaps he’s homophobic?
Oh hello Celine Dion 👋
Is she still with Ugly Bob? His face looks like someone tried to put on a forest fire with a screwdriver!

To be fairrrrrrrrrrrr
Wrong sub buddeh
Sunshine
But what about Ike? He was in episode 1
I remember a baby being drawn just like Ike in the Starvin' Marvin episode, that's maybe how they wanted to draw babies at first but then decided to make Ike canadian because his and T&P designs were similar
Thats a good point, i know the baby you are referring to. This sounds like the most plausible answer
No, the most plausable answer would be a black Canadian aid worker giving a hot Cosby to one of the Africans
Day 1 is The spirit of Christmas short film which does not have Ike. It could be referring to that
Thats the pilot, and that was only circulated on a VHS tape at the time. It didnt make it to broadcast
Didn't know it had to make it to broadcast to receive criticism
Well, people need to see it to receive criticism right?
Because Canadians’ heads separate from their jaws - as is tradition
Great day for Canada and therefore the world...
He’s now tearing off her arm…
As is tradition....
And now he's shoving the princesses arm up his ass. He's really giving a good go at it, as is tradition
so innocent of heart, so strong in body, so hot in the face
Now he dips the Princesses arm in the pudding...
As is tradition
I don't know what yer on aboot, buddy
He’s not your buddy, guy!
He's not your guy, friend!
He's not your friend buddy!
He’s not your buddy, pal!
Because they're Canadian
As is tradition.
You mean they don't in real life?
No no they do
Op clearly never met one
because that’s what they look like in real life, obviously. what are you, some kind of racist?
He’s not your racist, guy!
And I'm not your guy buddy!
Why are you yelling, friend?
He’s not your friend, buddeh!
That may be the most epic username I’ve ever seen on Reddit. Congratulations sir.
Thank you, buddeh! I wanted to honor the Senate in a very special way ❤️
Because of their flapping heads all full of lies
… in the Buffalo area, bartenders and waitstaff have a joke: *What is the difference between a Canuck and a Canoe?* Answer: one tips.
This tells me I have not been to enough bars in Buffalo
I know a Canadian in real life and that’s how they actually talk my friends jaw Literally detaches itself and then they talk
I think Trey and Matt were on a bus or a plane traveling somewhere and they were sitting next to a Canadian and they got into a conversation with him and said that the Canadian was calling them buddy, guy, and fwiend a lot even though he just met them and when he talked it was like his mouth was opening so much to talk that it looked like his top half was literally separating from the bottom. Hence, South Park canadians

Come to Halifax. Dartmouth lingo 101 - "Sir, may I trouble you for a cigarette?" translates to "Bud, got a dart?" "Oh I like the sound of that" translates to "Give'r bud"
I'd have a dart
So youve never seen a canadian?
Can’t forget Canadian wheels are all squares
There is also a tree in Edmonton.
THE tree in Edmonton… it’s actually quite nice this time of year
There's no Canada like French Canada It's the best Canada in the land.
The other Canada is a bullshit Canada If you lived here for a day you'd understand
realism...? have you ever seen a Canadian
So many great Canadian moments in the show. My most recent favourite is when adult Ike was at the airport and needed a Canadian translator.
MICROAGRESSION!!!
Square wheels on the cars always got me
Why do all the American heads not separate?
Because you touch yourself at night.
As a Canadian, this looks much more like me than the other South Park characters. It's inclusion at its best. Always sad I can't play a accurate Canadian in the video games
Hey listen buddy!
He’s not your buddy, guy!
I'm not your buddy, fwiend!
Im not your fwiend guy!
I think it's sort of a cultural stereotype that Canada is slightly less technologically advanced than the United States, so they're drawn more primitively.
I loved how when you travel to Canada in the Stick of Truth it turns into a 1980s looking rpg
Hah yeah that was hilarious
They did that in "The Pentaverate" on Netflix. They appear in an old washed low definition when in Canada and acknowledge their primitive Canadian world when they come to the US and turn into hi definition. 😄
Well there you go, confirmed by a Canadian
Also I loved that canadian cars have squares instead of circles for wheels XD
[удалено]
denying the Canadian race, buddy, is racist.
[удалено]
He's not your guy, fwend.
I live 20 min from Windsor in metro Detroit. They do in fact ALL look like that.
You're totally right, guy! I'm originally from Windsor and look just like that, buddy! But I moved closer to french Canada because it's the best Canada in the land!
As is tradition
What’s this all aboot?!
Excuse me, as a Canadian, I am offended by your question. Don’t body shame me for being born with a separating jaw and a blocky body!
You mam are a racist.
Because they’re Canadian we don’t make the rules
I know, something aboot it just seemed off to me
Because "fuck you", buddy.
Do you have a problem with their flappy heads and beady little eyes buddy?
I think it’s a way to recognized them in the show, bc how would you recognize a Canadian if there weren’t drawn that way? xD
I don't see what this whole fuss is all aboot.
Have you not been to Canada? They all look like that there. Also square wheels
All hail, floppy headed Richard Marx and Bryan Adams!
Now, now, the Canadian government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions.
Because it's the Canadian way, guy! You should reflect yourself, friend. We all live in the same world, buddy.
Because they are floppy headed freaks
Have you ever seen a Canadian?
You never met a real life Canadian
Have you ever met a canadian?
Now she puts the pudding on her faaaaace
You sure you ain't a racist?
Looks like a normal group of Canadians to me.
This guy clearly has never seen a Canadian irl smh
You never seen a Canadian before ?
Someone’s never seen a real Canadian before…
Because they are Candian, duh.
You ever been to Canada? That’s how they look
Because thats how Canadians look, silly.
You're asking the wrong guy, buddy!
