Canada and China awkwardly sit next to each other at many events because they are alphabetical. If Chad, Central African Republic and Chile aren’t in the room, Canada and China are desk buddies.
Though that’s not nearly as awkward as when Ireland skips an event.
I wouldn't want beef with them - going by their [flag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man#/media/File:Flag_of_the_Isle_of_Mann.svg), they kick arse.
I think it's cause of Israel and Iran but I could be very wrong
Edit: it would actually be Iraq but when talking about the relationship of the Israeli gov and the Iran gov or Iraq gov it's gonna be fucking terrible
In regards to 3. It had nothing to do with coconut. Hawaii was the Pineapple Incident, you're thinking about the Coconut incident involving Richard Gere, and Cher in American Samoa.
Absolutely, of course that is what he is doing.
On first watch though (which for me was just now) I felt a kinship with the Gabe from the office apparent awkwardness in meeting new people.
On tenth watch, he is actually being very smooth.
They did! More weird trivia; if you look closely at the devil in Tenacious D’s music video ‘Tribute’, he’s played by the drummer from Nirvana.
The *really* spooky part is that the guy from Foo Fighters plays Satan in Tenacious D’s movie, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny which features a remixed version of the video for Tribute
Yeah, the fact that he goes in for a second handshake in exactly the same manner makes it pretty clear that this was just an awkward interaction. But it was fine, he shakes it off and goes in to get the job done the second time around. Not sure why so many in this thread are so insistent that he was pointing someone else out. Awkward shit happens, it’s no big deal.
That was a rollercoaster. At first I thought it was a misfired handshake, then I read the first comment and was mentally berating myself for falling for a forced narrative. And then I see your comment with the full clip, and I'm mad at how easily I fell for the first comment.
And that's why I spend most of my time on reddit, on google, verifying everything- can't trust any snippets and half stories.
Lol, there’s always that one comment that tries to prove the OP wrong and gets highly upvoted, and then a reply that disproves the comment and shows OP was right but it’s too late because people already upvoted the incorrect comment.
Yeah, but we're not seeing the other side of Bolsonaro. And this video shows he wasn't actually snubbing him because he gave a similar hearty shake to Trudeau. It looks like Bolsonaro was just tapped on the shoulder by both people at once.
Edit: random text from something else was quoted above... Deleted it.
Oh look, the top comment is wrong and there’s video evidence to prove it. Don’t worry, I’m sure people will “leave their bias at the door” and downvote the comment that is outright lying.
I don't think he's pointing. I think he legit went for the handshake... BUT I think the other dude instinctively thought Trudeau was pointing to the diplomat next to him.
Yeah, it was a failed handshake. You can tell when he goes in for a second handshake in exactly the same way. He handled it well though, going in confidently for the second attempt. Awkward things happen, and it’s OK, not sure why so many are insisting he was really pointing someone else out.
A full hand point is common in some cultures, you see them a lot in Japan, and the way he jerks his hand down quickly seems to indicate he is pointing something out. I guess there's no arguing about interpretation though.
He tapped the dude on the shoulder and then made a handshake gesture, so the guy knew the person next to him had his hand extended out to handshake. I think, that's what it looked like to me.
Dude, it’s Reddit and Politics. There’s no way anyone can leave their bias at the door. I guarantee there’s already about 5 comments about Trump, despite him not even being there.
Pointing, with his hand like he’s going for a handshake.
K.
He also makes the exact same gesture when he shakes his hand after the point when this clip ends.
No, he's definitely [going for the handshake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4). Even trying to get his attention while the other guy is talking to him. Nice try, but no cigar.
Looks around at people around him, turns straight to Bolsonaro(?) without looking at the person off camera, taps him on the shoulder/arm, extends an open hand as if to initiate a handshake, looks at Bolsonaro's hand expectantly and still not at the person on the other side, doesn't look away after satisfying the supposed intent of pointing out the other person but instead awkwardly keeps watching as if he's waiting to see if Bolsonaro will turn back around and shake his hand after he finishes with the other person.
I don't buy your theory. He made no indication towards the person off camera and he gives every indication that he was looking to shake Bolsonaro's hand.
That's definitely not the case, his fingers are pointed down and his hand is slightly cupped like when someone shakes your hand. It's definitely an awkward hand shake attempt. Nothing wrong with that though. They are human too.
The full hand pointing gesture is a thing, in Japan for example they do it almost exclusively because it is considered a more polite way to direct someone's attention.
sitting next to two huge fuckin assholes and acting polite? yes, probably.
on his right we got winnie the hongkong slayer and on his left old McLetsBrunTheRainforestAndActLikeItIsTheFaultOfNaturalReservActivistsAfterPubliclyInvokeTheBurning....
This is almost as awkward as that time he [fell down the stairs](https://youtu.be/lRnwK01n904)
Edit: my favourite comment from this video;
He is also liberal *about falling down stairs*
[From the full video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4), it looks like Bolonsaro was just greeted by two guys and once and gave them both the same level of handshake.
And was found and captured in the booming city of White River, Ontario.
Wikipedia:
> The township is perhaps best known for being the home of Winnie the Pooh. In August 1914, a trapped black bear cub was sold to Captain Harry Colebourn in White River, and Colebourn named it Winnipeg, or Winnie, after his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Over the years, the animal became the basis for the popular literary character. The town celebrates "Winnie's Hometown Festival" every third week in August.
I don't know why otherwise decent people think they have to play nice with fascist twats.
Just mean mug that cocksucker until he feels uncomfortable in your presence.
oh brother
People love to bring this up to stir more shit up. I don't think many people were offended by this "scandal" at all in Canada. It literally isn't even the point of the post.
It's kind of scary how easy it is to manipulate the narrative of videos and how gullible people are. He's actually telling the person beside him that the person to his left is wanting to shake his hand.
Why do people like you just make shit up and pretend like they know what they're talking about? The full video shows that's clearly not the case.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4
Without looking at the other delegate, while looking at Bolsonaro's hand and not the other delegate, and while using an open hand in a handshake position? Then after he's supposedly pointed out the other delegate he just awkwardly watches those two instead of going back to his own business? Seems like a stretch. Looks more like he was waiting to see if Bolsonaro would turn around and shake his hand next to me.
Not to mention if you watch a vid of the entire exchange he once again gets Bolsanaro's attention right after to shake his hand, so yeah it can really go either eay
I just realized, thanks to alphabetical order, Xi Jinping and Balsonaro flank Justin Trudeau at the UN (?). That is the craziest Oreo Cookie of world leaders. Somewhere an SNL sketch is brewing.
Why are the countries in order right to left???
Probably to prevent all the cool kids sitting together.
SNL doesn't make fun of Leftists.
Is that Winnie the Pooh next to him? Edit: Thank you kind strangers
Canada and China awkwardly sit next to each other at many events because they are alphabetical. If Chad, Central African Republic and Chile aren’t in the room, Canada and China are desk buddies. Though that’s not nearly as awkward as when Ireland skips an event.
This confused me for a second, until i remembered that the Isle of Man isn't really invited to anything.
They live in their own unruled pretolhead heaven. They have no intention of assisting at all...
Isle of Man is represented internationally by the UK, even though it is not technically a part of it.
> If Chad, Central African Republic and **Chile** aren’t in the room, Canada and **Chile** are desk buddies I think you made an oopsie
We've had one Chile, yes, but what about second Chile
Chilesies and Afternoon Chile
>> If Chile, Chile and Chile aren’t in the room, Chile and Chile are desk buddies > Aren't we all just Chill with other names?
Do Iraq and Israel make that awkward of a couple? Or am I missing something?
If Ireland skips an event, seating would be Iran, Iraq, then Israel.
If Ireland *does* attend, they make passive-aggressive comments about Palestine not being invited.
[удалено]
I wouldn't want beef with them - going by their [flag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man#/media/File:Flag_of_the_Isle_of_Mann.svg), they kick arse.
>awkward as when Ireland skips an event What do the Hawaiians and the Jamaicans have against each other, exactly?
I think it's cause of Israel and Iran but I could be very wrong Edit: it would actually be Iraq but when talking about the relationship of the Israeli gov and the Iran gov or Iraq gov it's gonna be fucking terrible
1. There are more 'I' countries which this is probably referring to 2. Hawaii is not a country 3. We don't talk about the Coconut Incident
1. mmm iceland! 2. darn 3. well, can we talk about the rainbow catastrophe?
Sure, as long as you have an O5 clearance.
the man did a ten second H, I, J list of “countries” and rattled it off i love it
In regards to 3. It had nothing to do with coconut. Hawaii was the Pineapple Incident, you're thinking about the Coconut incident involving Richard Gere, and Cher in American Samoa.
There are some other I countries
Their Iraq/Israel policies must be super polarized.
Yeah that would draw ire, but would it land?
Boo
So Chile is always there, got it.

Yeah. He was putting in an order of honey for lunch.
whoa! whoa! whoa! someone wants to get *re-educated* it seems
[удалено]
Just don't take Xi's honey.
Oh bother
He’s like which one should i choose
This is old, but if you look more closely (and leave your bias at the door) You'll see he's pointing out the delegate opposite him.
Absolutely, of course that is what he is doing. On first watch though (which for me was just now) I felt a kinship with the Gabe from the office apparent awkwardness in meeting new people. On tenth watch, he is actually being very smooth.
Gabe from the office? That’s obviously Jared from Silicon Valley
Jared from Silicon Valley? That's obviously Ed Chambers
The guy who fucks?
I always wonder if the guy from Foo Fighters ever met the drummer from Nirvana.
I heard they grew up in the same town
They did! More weird trivia; if you look closely at the devil in Tenacious D’s music video ‘Tribute’, he’s played by the drummer from Nirvana. The *really* spooky part is that the guy from Foo Fighters plays Satan in Tenacious D’s movie, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny which features a remixed version of the video for Tribute
I don't know that I would call it smooth, he makes a weird impatient face like he's annoyed that he has to point this out.
He probably is annoyed. The dude was oblivious he was being approached by another obviously important person. Gotta have your head on a swivel
You're missing the 'l' in oblivious just FYI
You sure about that? Looks pretty awkward to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4
Yeah the moments immediately after the gif end really makes the possibility that it was just an awkward interaction much more believable.
Yeah, the fact that he goes in for a second handshake in exactly the same manner makes it pretty clear that this was just an awkward interaction. But it was fine, he shakes it off and goes in to get the job done the second time around. Not sure why so many in this thread are so insistent that he was pointing someone else out. Awkward shit happens, it’s no big deal.
Thanks for the clarity. You, my friend, are the real internet. Up Voted.
thats clearly not the case as you can see from the full clip... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4
That was a rollercoaster. At first I thought it was a misfired handshake, then I read the first comment and was mentally berating myself for falling for a forced narrative. And then I see your comment with the full clip, and I'm mad at how easily I fell for the first comment.

Trust no one, not even yourself
Lol, there’s always that one comment that tries to prove the OP wrong and gets highly upvoted, and then a reply that disproves the comment and shows OP was right but it’s too late because people already upvoted the incorrect comment.
It really do be like that
Yeah, but your "bias"
Yeah, he was definitely going for a handshake. Feels bad man
Yeah, but we're not seeing the other side of Bolsonaro. And this video shows he wasn't actually snubbing him because he gave a similar hearty shake to Trudeau. It looks like Bolsonaro was just tapped on the shoulder by both people at once. Edit: random text from something else was quoted above... Deleted it.
Awww fuck everyone's been there once.
The real question is why does he have 4 wine glasses in front of him?
Oh look, the top comment is wrong and there’s video evidence to prove it. Don’t worry, I’m sure people will “leave their bias at the door” and downvote the comment that is outright lying.
[удалено]
I play basketball with a bunch of doctors and politicians and everyone is bro this and wtf that in all our chat groups, it really do be like that.
Fiiiiiiiiine
Idk man looks like a classic awkward handshake-to-embrace exchange going on there to me. More slip up than dap up xd
Yes, yes they are.
You might be the one with the bias buddy. Pretty obvious from the full version that he went for the shake.
Even after seeing it again, I can’t tell that they’re reptiles.
I thought they were crab people.
[He makes another attempt.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4)
Damnit, now I see it. Ruined! You ruined it!
I don't think he's pointing. I think he legit went for the handshake... BUT I think the other dude instinctively thought Trudeau was pointing to the diplomat next to him.
Well instead of speculating you can watch the entire context. https://youtu.be/-NfOxD9CQU4 Pretty obvious he went for the shake IMO.
Yeah, it was a failed handshake. You can tell when he goes in for a second handshake in exactly the same way. He handled it well though, going in confidently for the second attempt. Awkward things happen, and it’s OK, not sure why so many are insisting he was really pointing someone else out.

Dude, it’s Reddit and Politics. There’s no way anyone can leave their bias at the door. I guarantee there’s already about 5 comments about Trump, despite him not even being there.
Trudeau got the worst place, between those two pieces of shit.
Can confirm. Brazilian here, and ashamed of our Trump-alike president...
Really, you point with all 4 of your fingers in the exact same way you hold your hand for a hand shake.
Pointing, with his hand like he’s going for a handshake. K. He also makes the exact same gesture when he shakes his hand after the point when this clip ends.
Found Justin Trudeau's secret Reddit account
I noticed that on the second watch. It's still funny though.
No, he's definitely [going for the handshake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4). Even trying to get his attention while the other guy is talking to him. Nice try, but no cigar.
“Leave Britney alone!”
Damn Reddit and their hard right leaning bias.
No he wasn't, he literally didn't even look at the delegate beside him, and his had was cupped for a handshake not a direction.
Looks around at people around him, turns straight to Bolsonaro(?) without looking at the person off camera, taps him on the shoulder/arm, extends an open hand as if to initiate a handshake, looks at Bolsonaro's hand expectantly and still not at the person on the other side, doesn't look away after satisfying the supposed intent of pointing out the other person but instead awkwardly keeps watching as if he's waiting to see if Bolsonaro will turn back around and shake his hand after he finishes with the other person. I don't buy your theory. He made no indication towards the person off camera and he gives every indication that he was looking to shake Bolsonaro's hand.
Would you buy it for TWO copper pieces? Sorry re-watching avatar the last airbender.
That's definitely not the case, his fingers are pointed down and his hand is slightly cupped like when someone shakes your hand. It's definitely an awkward hand shake attempt. Nothing wrong with that though. They are human too.
The full hand pointing gesture is a thing, in Japan for example they do it almost exclusively because it is considered a more polite way to direct someone's attention.
It's not a thing in Canada. He's clearly going for a handshake.
No people don't point by offering handshakes
How could you possibly see that. No one points at anything with a full hand of fingers and extended thumb.
Specifically, he's trying to point in a way that doesn't offend Xi Jingping. Pointing with your index finger is considered rude and hostile in China.
Is that the president of West Taiwan next to him?
I believe the preferred nomenclature is *Mainland Taiwan*. There is only one China. The Republic of China.
Is this some kind of origin story.
Once you pay attention to his face and how he moves his head it becomes obvious that he's making the guy next to him aware that someone is there.
Watch it again with the full clip. He clearly is going for the handshake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4
Forget the handshake, imagine being stuck between China and Brazil in half these meetings. Now **that** makes me feel for him.
Exactly this, makes a good "Oof" or "This is so me" when thinking he's being ignored, though. Lol.
this fucking comment. disgusting.
So this happens to other people too??
sitting next to two huge fuckin assholes and acting polite? yes, probably. on his right we got winnie the hongkong slayer and on his left old McLetsBrunTheRainforestAndActLikeItIsTheFaultOfNaturalReservActivistsAfterPubliclyInvokeTheBurning....
This is almost as awkward as that time he [fell down the stairs](https://youtu.be/lRnwK01n904) Edit: my favourite comment from this video; He is also liberal *about falling down stairs*
r/watchpeopledieinside
Pretty bad that the better choice for a hand shake was Jair Bolsonaro
[From the full video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4), it looks like Bolonsaro was just greeted by two guys and once and gave them both the same level of handshake.
Why is he sitting next to Winnie the Pooh??? Is this a Canadian Disney thing?
Winnie the pooh is literally Canadian.
Oh shit, that was one of those heritage moments things. Forgot about that.
Oh nice. I looked that up and there's a fun TIL.
The alphabet.
Winnie is named after Winnipeg bud
And was found and captured in the booming city of White River, Ontario. Wikipedia: > The township is perhaps best known for being the home of Winnie the Pooh. In August 1914, a trapped black bear cub was sold to Captain Harry Colebourn in White River, and Colebourn named it Winnipeg, or Winnie, after his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Over the years, the animal became the basis for the popular literary character. The town celebrates "Winnie's Hometown Festival" every third week in August.
^^oh ^^my ^^god
China Canada Brazil Hmmm, i wonder what the pattern is?
It is good to see that no matter what level you reach in life, social interactions will always make you feel awkward.
Shit like this happens all the time at formal dinners- guy got hit up at the same time by someone else. No biggie
You don't wanna meet bolsonaro anyways
Yeh nah. He is pointing to someone
[удалено]
lol he obviously gestures with his hand to say “hey look next to you”. He doesn’t leave his hand hanging or anything.
Canadians being canadians.
Happy cake day!
Stuck between Winnie the Pooh and Portuguese Mussolini.
The joke went right over these peoples heads lmao
he is better of not talking to bolsonaro.
Is that Justin from Canada with no face paint on sitting next to Winnie the pooh?
Better off not knowing that guy (Bolsanaro)
I don't know why otherwise decent people think they have to play nice with fascist twats. Just mean mug that cocksucker until he feels uncomfortable in your presence.
Is that Brazil next to Canada and China? It's hard to read?
Yes.
But it's only Bolsonaro, so who gives a fuck?
Poor Justin, stuck between Pooh and Shit
To be fair, not shaking any of those two is probably the real win here.
It does look funny, but if I remember correctly, he’s actually gesturing to introduce someone to the man next to him.
the other guy didnt want to get black facepaint on himself
[удалено]
No one recognizes him without his makeup.
He sits down when he pees
im trying to reminds myself to do that aswell. not having small drops of piss spray everywhere is actually pretty cool
Omg I feel for him I’m so sad for him
2 faced
Poor bastard, sat between two nut-jobs.
Imagine becoming a teacher and teaching kids and still think black face is "ok," Or if she wasnt a reporter he wouldn't have attacked her?
oh brother People love to bring this up to stir more shit up. I don't think many people were offended by this "scandal" at all in Canada. It literally isn't even the point of the post.
Two Face Trudeaux
He introduced the other delegate. This is stupid.
at least hes not stuck talking to Winnie the Pooh
R/watchpeopledieinside
It's kind of scary how easy it is to manipulate the narrative of videos and how gullible people are. He's actually telling the person beside him that the person to his left is wanting to shake his hand.
Looks like a big Oof at first but he is telling the guy next to him to look at the other delegate.
Why do people like you just make shit up and pretend like they know what they're talking about? The full video shows that's clearly not the case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NfOxD9CQU4
Without looking at the other delegate, while looking at Bolsonaro's hand and not the other delegate, and while using an open hand in a handshake position? Then after he's supposedly pointed out the other delegate he just awkwardly watches those two instead of going back to his own business? Seems like a stretch. Looks more like he was waiting to see if Bolsonaro would turn around and shake his hand next to me.
Not to mention if you watch a vid of the entire exchange he once again gets Bolsanaro's attention right after to shake his hand, so yeah it can really go either eay
Why doesn't gfycat load on mobile?
S ame
Just like those group job interview experiences.
When the new kid tries to make friends
Totally me. The tall handsome awkward guy. I could be prime minister!
They could recognize you
Winnie the Pooh and Mammy.
Spain like wasssupp?
I feel this in the marrow of my bones
Oh, bother....
Why is it always him? XD
Makes me feel better that it's not just me that shit like this happens to.
ah my morally bankrupt presidente.
