RMR: Rick with the Navy

Rick joins the navy... for a day. (originally aired: January 15, 2008)

[@gingerr8015]

I love how our navy has time to mess around with Rick lol

[@superskiier50]

+Ginger Ruparts they don't have much else to do now.

[@williamcollins2020]

Haven't laughed so hard in a while. My Canadian "brothers" transferred me the same way when I did my exchange tour with them back in the 90's from one ship to another. Lends a whole new meaning to "hanging around"

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Rick once again basically no fear in a bit of a scary activity! Also 5:34 when the Calgary is turning away, awesome!

[@dlo111]

I want his job, he definitely has the best one in Canada.

[@ericagavel7285]

What did one Canadian Navy ship say to the other Navy ship? Awhhh friggit you'll never get it! #joke

[@skyebird3933]

Love Rick's nervous giggle. Lol.

[@oneunknownday]

Rick Mercer timed this episode perfectly before Canada had no navy.

[@mcaddicts]

We have a navy, might not be the size of the US or royal navy but we still have one. Blame Harper he was great at protecting our security by cutting the military budget.

[@superskiier50]

+mcaddicts and misallocating much of what was given to the military.

[@oneunknownday]

+GunMonk Dont mind the veterans getting more money, but cmon Trudeau just pledged 2.65 billion over five years for climate change efforts in undeveloped nations. What about our security, China today just said they wish to use our Northwest Passage.

[@mcaddicts]

Trudeau won't buy the military any new equipment but neither did Harper. What happened to his marine corps? Conservatives, liberals it doesn't matter they will both neglect the military.

[@mcaddicts]

Hope won't win a war. Plus the Rangers are reservist. Both parties have horrible records on funding the military. Because Canada would rather give out welfare then focus on the military. Forget this stupid American Left vs Right, they both suck.

[@UltraGwyl]

I just realized they probably did the man-overboard rescue drill because Rick is going to do the transfer

[@wayneduff3699]

I have been aboard the Calgary, twice. Finest ship in the Navy. Awesome crew, awesome ship.

[@MapleBalls]

Thanks for all the good years of service. RIP.

[@phant0]

Why is that ever time Rick does something with the military he invariably ends up dangling from somewhere?

[@seansky2721]

Rick Mercer just kills me! He must have the best Job in the World!

[@xbman1]

We still have a navy. Small fleet of fishing boats.

[@beau2tie]

And by the way, "mate" for Canadian people is "friend".

[@ChrisHosmar]

If you use your eyes, you can CLEARLY see that he said "grade one," not "one grade." I know this because the number 1 is written after the word grade.

[@LinxFox]

They should have made rick sing for his dinner.

[@jfpelletier296]

That ship is no more, the HMCS Protecteur burned out!

[@alansohn855]

MV Asterix now.

[@Dwerden93]

Thanks for the info buddy

[@gaelwynmackwyn]

Called staying in the shot.

[@TheFailBros]

When our only ships are from the Cold War

[@jacob.f9412]

TheFailBros have you not seen our new ship building program

[@judgedredd8657]

our best coast navy! CFB Esquimalt FTW!

[@generalducktape]

Never Again Volunteer Yourself

[@Dwerden93]

Did you really just call me a clown?

[@hotelbastard7853]

Navy girls are cute. And so 'R the green ones.

[@TheShiraz92]

I want to join rcn as officer what are its requirments ?

[@aidanbegovic9584]

You have to be a canadian citizen,have a 4-year college/University degree,fluent in atleast 1 of Canada's official languages,be physically and mentally fit and pass BMOQ

[@TheShiraz92]

@@aidanbegovic9584 oh my thank you

[@Allstar6057]

Yes it is. SORRY.

[@beau2tie]

No one. People either say in "grade one" or in"first grade". No one says "grade first".

[@gerardpower674]

That's a Newfie saying grade one by thundrin

[@aviguy7]

haha He didn't even say "one grade", he said grade 1 (as in grade one)?? :P

[@oliviahmacollng141]

hmm shame that is i think the British navy could learn a ting or 2 from the Canadian navy on this case i'm on the Canadian navy's side#Canadian navy rocks the seven seas

[@mcnairbr16387]

Why would the Canadian Navy ever be fighting against the Royal or US Navy ?

[@nutlover3609]

Canada has a navy?

[@crunchwrapsupreme9372]

NutLover360 you’re a fuckin idiot

In 1960 we had the 4th largest navy on earth funny man

[@antiochsfinest5787]

He didn't do the most important job on board. He didn't go to the boiler/engine room and be a stoker for a watch. I guess that is what happens when you go to sea on a ship run by Bos'uns.

[@vladtepes97]

why isn't he addressing the officers by their rank?!!

[@TheitaniofRome]

he tries to make people uncomfortable.

[@vladtepes97]

TheitaniofRome it's been my observation that he tries to make them comfortable, especially the ones he's trying to honour. it's the ones he's trying to ridicule that better watch out.

[@cheese1234589]

Chris R Because he is not in the service

[@GeraltinWoW]

Hows paying for healthcare treating yah?

[@raedenjay]

@andrewm153351 no

[@Hiei2k7]

uh huh. I hate Canada because i'm an American? because I envy Canada? Nah, not really. I just find Rick Mercer entertaining.

[@MrSistermaryelephant]

I'm pooping as I type this

[@RampantFury925]

That's great?

[@zepourriable]

That's pretty awesome

[@platbear9103]

thicc

[@stephen3500]

If you were smart enough to read the context of the comment it said grade 1 not "one grade" if you were smart enough to try and come up with an answer you could have at least read the way it was written. They would say they are in grade one. Everyone has a different way of perceiving the English language. Also, is it the American way to shoot anyone you talk to?

[@Funnybriton]

I get all the gay jokes now lmao

[@wafflewaffle90]

really? you can't read, too? it's grade one. not "one grade". I mean... seriously?
