22 Times Canada Was Absolutely Fucking Ridiculous In 2016

Capybaras, angry clowns, poop cafés, and more!

1. When this was a completely real bus shelter ad in Vancouver.

2. When this teen used a hoverboard to shovel the driveway, which is either insane or genius.

3. When a guy dressed as a goalie robbed a beer store in Manitoba.

4. When Toronto opened a poop-themed café, complete with poop desserts and toilets for seats.

5. When B.C. cops found a naked man washing his junk with milk at a gas station because he'd accidentally sprayed his genitals with bear spray.

6. When clowns left a swastika made of balloons outside of an Ontario bookstore to protest its "No Clowns Allowed" sign.

7. When this Ontario plumber put the perfect advertisement on his truck.

8. When this guy in Toronto did a photo shoot with kale (among other things) to celebrate getting a vasectomy.

9. When this Ontario man put up a sign to advertise for a new girlfriend.

10. When a clever prankster changed the name of B.C.'s Rudd Park.

11. When a group of moms in B.C. was caught getting high to celebrate their kids going back to school.

12. When a Winnipeg man decorated his front window with an ever-changing display of mannequins.

13. When Smucker Foods announced they would be discontinuing Zest Mustard Pickles, and Newfoundland lost its shit.

14. When the cost of cauliflower soared because of a combination of bad weather and the U.S. exchange rate.

15. When this Alberta grocery store had the perfect response to a map that looked like a penis.

16. When all of Toronto was obsessed with two capybaras who escaped from a zoo and remained on the lam for weeks.

There are capybaras on the loose in Toronto and I don't understand why this isn't leading on all three news networks.

Man those Capybaras are STILL gone? Can we do like a human chain for a missing kid? I'd join if they'd allow me an hour of Capybara hugs

Toronto did not end up winning the NBA Championship, but it was fun to pretend for a while.
