      I find it interesting that “Mama” and “No” are almost universal but there’s so much disagreement on animal noises

      Kim’s Convenience is a really good show I never hear anyone talk about. If you are looking for a comedy you can sort of casually watch give this show a chance. It has a 100% RT score for a reason.

    3. Apparently there is only one frog that says “ribbit ribbit”, which is the Pacific Tree Frog commonly found in the Western US, particularly near Hollywood and thus featured in a lot of movies as background noise.

    4. TIL that Indians and Italians have the same onomatopea for dogs, we say “Bau Bau”

    5. It is fascinating how languages can so differently interpret the same animal noises

    6. David Sedaris has a good bit on this for Roosters. Then it turns into questions about Santa Claus and gets wild.

      In French it’s “coââ coââ” for frogs and “ouaf ouaf!” for dogs

    8. i used to have a whole bit about this in Spanish class, and would play the “el pollito pio” video

      all the Spanish animal noises are different than the English ones and it blew little kids’ minds.

      the rooster says “cocorocó” and the turkey says “glu glu glu”, the dog say “guau guau” etc.

      I actually love what this segment is about.

      The “same thing” from different cultures.

      Animal noises, idioms, etc

    10. Onomatopoeia, a fantastic word that I can never remember how to spell correctly. About the only funny scene from Family Guy is when Stewie was given the French see and say toy that gave all the animal sounds in French. Stewie and Brian find themselves in the middle of nowhere and have no idea where/when, when a cow suddenly does the French onomatopoeia, and Stewie says they are obviously in France.

    11. This is why both Canadian content quotas and public broadcasting needs to be protected.

      CBC is a Gem (pun intended) that produces a fantastic array of quality entertainment, as well as relatively unbiased reporting, that isn’t and won’t be captured by the billionaire class.

      Kim’s Convenience, Schitt’s Creek, Corner Gas, etc are all excellent products of the CBC.

      The fact that the Conservative Party of Canada, the Canadian copy of the US Republication party under its current leadership, is trying to defund the CBC tells you everything you need to know about it.

    12. It has always been such a fresh fun show to watch. Almost like the Toronto version of corner gas
