The Vancouver Canucks Version of at we still have hockey.

Recently there was a video spoofing the University of North Dakota, titled we still have hockey. It has been said that this video was might be the work of a NDSU Bison fan, I have not gotten confirmation of this.

The video was pulled almost immediately after the University of North Dakota had a ugly incident involving a UND student of Jewish decent in a UND residence hall. Kuklaskorner has a video posted with the same scene only from the 2005 German movie the Downfall, also known as In the Bunker. This time the clip spoofs the Vancouver Canuck's and their lack of success.

I am not of Jewish decent I come from a mixture of European nationalities, (Czech, Dutch, German English, Welsh and a few other I can't remember) one might say that the the Goon is a Hines 57. Personally to me their is nothing funny about Hitler, the third Reich or the Holocaust, 6+ million Jewish people died at the hands of Hitler and the third Reich. I am not a prude or someone that you would call a PC zealot but I would like to know why people think these type of spoofs are funny?

  1. It never works to explain humor to those that don't think it's funny.

  2. I do remember a movie that was simular to this one but it wasn't done from a comedic point of view.

  3. I just watched the video. While I thought the UND one was funny, this one went way over the line with the "oven" comment into not funny and in poor taste.

    That was just bringing this video back to a very unpleasant reality.

    My opinion.
