This is a 10-part series that can now only be found on YouTube, but it's worth the watch - especially if you go with the full 10-episode video because then you'll get all the old ads, too. (Warning - I think some of the ads, which allegedly date back to the 70's and 80's, have been doctored. In particular, the one for Johnson Outboard Motors entitled, 'You and Your Johnson,' which was a genuine LOL moment.)
The mockumentary focuses on the lives of a remarkably slow-witted family isolated on a remote Canadian island for several generations. They speak their own peculiar dialect, subsist on potatoes, engage in forbidden practices such as 'fish-diddling' and believe their great-grandfather and founder of the island colony was a saint.
It's weird, funny and strangely Canadian in its own way. But a little goes a long way. Fortunately, the 10-episode video on YouTube has a running time of just under two hours, and that includes the ads, which should not be missed.
