Turn, Turn, Turn
My "favorite" is when drivers slam on their brakes, turn, and then flash their turn signal once or twice after the turn is completed. That's awesome.

Rick Mercer, Jann Arden, and the CN Tower
My favorite Rick Mercer adventures are when he convinces Jann Arden to put on a harness and go somewhere scary:
"Why are there lightening bolts?"

From the 10/13/09 episode of The Rick Mercer Report:
"This week on the show, I head to London, Ontario and I take part in a reenactment of The War of 1812. I don't know what I did wrong, but this time Poland won."

From the Rick Mercer Report airing October 3, 2006:
"Good evening, I'm Rick Mercer, and this is the Mercer Report. This week I kick off a brand new season with a trip out west to practice with the [Canadian Football League team] Saskatchewan Roughriders and fulfill a childhood dream of getting some x-rays done in Regina. Also on the show, I go window-washing on a sixty-eight story building. Now, I don't want to give away how it ends, but...I fall to my death. All that and a lot more on tonight's show!"

Canadian Politics, Backwards
I love Rick Mercer and his sense of humor. The only problem is that he spends most of his time talking about Canadian politics, which I know very little about. I end up learning stuff, though, by going backwards from the jokes. It's sort of like reverse engineering technology...
But sometimes he actually explains things! Here's "Everything You Wanted To Know About Canada but Were Afraid To Ask":
You can find tons of his stuff on YouTube:
Na30P4: The Movie
Missile Defense in 30 Seconds
How Parliament Works
The Throne Speech
A very educational Have and Have-Not Provinces
Finally, the very silly January Tributes
