Welcome to the home of Claymation-style Political Satire.

I’m Matthew Thomas Gillespie, a filmmaker and Post-Production Supervisor who decided the news was too depressing, so I turned it into a musical. This channel features "Handmade claymation-style" parodies that tackle everything from US Elections to Canadian Trade Wars.

Featuring:

The "Orange Trump Blob" Saga

Canadian Clapbacks & Musical Anthems

Satirical takes on the Epstein List, Project 2025, and more.

If you like Bad Lip Reading or The Daily Show but wish they had more clay textures and beavers, you’re in the right place.

🚨 BREAKING: CANADIAN AIRSPACE UNDER SIEGE!

⏰ PREMIERES TOMORROW
Sunday, February 8th • 9:00 AM EST

WELCOME TO YOUR MANDATORY ONBOARDING

📋 The Situation Briefing:
The Gulfstream Gambit: President Trump threatened a 50% tariff on all Canadian aircraft and the "decertification" of Bombardier jets after claiming Canada "wrongfully, illegally" blocked U.S. Gulfstream G500, G600, G700, and G800 jets from certification.

The Real Story: The dispute centers on fuel icing system testing requirements - the FAA gave Gulfstream time-limited exemptions until end of 2026, but Transport Canada requires full testing completion. Trump claims Canada is "prohibiting" Gulfstream sales.

The Nuclear Option: Trump previously threatened a 100% general tariff on ALL Canadian goods if Ottawa moves forward with its recent trade deal with China (which reduced EV tariffs in exchange for lower taxes on Canadian canola and agricultural products).

Arctic Ambitions: Trump's National Security Strategy explicitly aims to "establish or expand access in strategically important locations" and "control key transit routes." The Northwest Passage—which Canada claims as internal waters but the U.S. considers an international strait—is squarely in the crosshairs.

Defense Failure: Due to a massive Rogers outage, national defense orders are delayed by 4 business days, leaving our skies vulnerable.

Headline: CLASSIFIED: Operation Hans Off! Log Update

New evidence has come to light regarding the latest mission. I've processed the surveillance frames and the truth is out there... or at least, it’s hovering right behind the whale and icebergs. Did anyone catch it?

I'm heading into uncharted territory for the next cartoon. Are you ready for some other-worldly help?

Keep your eyes on the skies (and the clay). More updates coming soon!

Headline: 🚨 CLASSIFIED FOOTAGE: The Greenland Invasion 🚨

I found the "Lost Chapter" of Operation: HANS OFF! and it changes everything.

While the Beavers were holding the line at Hans Island, Trump was making a move on Greenland. First he tried to buy them off. Then... he threatened to INVADE!

He thought he could bully the North. He didn't know we have a biological weapon that doesn't negotiate.

It is time to release the Cobra Chickens. 🦢☠️

Unleashed TONIGHT!

Polite Mode: Officially OFF. 🚫🧤

YOU ASKED FOR THIS IN THE COMMENTS (FOR SOME REASON). 🫎☕

After months of you guys flooding the comments with "Merch when?", I finally gave in. The Nasty Canadians Shop is officially open.

And yes, to the person who asked if they can drink their morning double-double from a mug that literally says "NASTY" on it... now you can. It’s perfect for letting your co-workers know exactly what kind of vibe you're bringing to the Zoom call.

🎁 Apology Gift: Use code NASTY15 for 15% OFF. It’s the most polite way I can say "Thanks for the support."

Here are a few pieces of concept art that led to Operation: HANS OFF! My vision of "Cobra Chicken" lol.

This is my way of processing the negative "noise" and turning mixed emotions into something tangible. For me, art isn't just about the final product. It's about the hours spent blocking out the negativity and building something a bit more hopeful (and a lot more musical). Thank you for being part of this crazy journey. It means the world to share this outlet with you all! xo
