There are, of course, the obvious things that anyone can laugh at, but I wonder if non-Maritimers would really get a lot of the very subtly localized humour. You really need to either be a Maritimer (like me) or have a thorough understanding of Maritime culture to fully appreciate the TPB, I think. Thoughts?
Sprytown WHAT!
Please tell me what is soooo specifically Maritime except for the subtle accent? Zellers and Tim Horton's are not Maritime, and I get every joke in the series. So give us an example please cuz I'm not getting it.
shareI'm not a Maritimer (is that where Aqua Man is from?) and I have no troubles with the "subtle" humor. So what are you goin on about, eh?
Provehito in Altum
I'm from BC, never been further east than Manitoba and I totally get the humor. Like when Ray asked Bubbles if he wanted to come over for some "Newfoundland steak" I knew he meant baloney.

John: I call shotgun.
Cameron: I call 9 mm.
Nope, I'm American and I have no trouble with the humor. But I do watch more Canadian TV than most Americans, and I grew up pretty close to the border.
"Rock is dead! Long live Paper and Scissors!"
I live in Ontario and the only other province I've been to is Quebec and I get the humour. Though I'll be honest I caught onto the show late after my friends like it and didn't really 'get' it at first.
sharei'm from Quebec so english is my 2nd language and this show is totally amazing. maybe i might miss a couple of jokes but dont know what... you should add some exemples.
