There's something of a Cannes-worthy palme d'or in that silent pause of Pedro's when he stands there busted at the end.

and scene…

So THAT's how Pedro got his start with CBC 3, was the voice of Casey on Mr Dressup!

I was walking to work today and laughing when I realized how bloody small that room looks. Please tell me that isn't the only space you have in the Toronto building!

I think they also share a room with the CBC mail robot, but I could be wrong.

Oh Em Gee I want a mailbot!

Which reminds me John… one summer for some inexplicable reason my idiot friends I play hockey with decided that "bot" needed to be added to everything. For example, after hockey, you would take a show-bot (shower). Yes, I know… very re: tarded. Which is the reason when any friends ask if I have single friends, and they happen to be my hockey playing buddies, I tell them no.

What does this have to do with Jijou and the CBC mailbot?

The answer is Kevin Bacon.

It is 3.3 years later, I still watch this video on a regular basis.

Those last 20 seconds are no less funny than the very first time I saw it.

I laugh, HARD EVERY SINGLE TIME!
