Very few places have bars open this late.

 

Most of NYS doesn't' have bars open this late.  I grew up in Gowanda, NY.   On Saturday nights, if you were downtown a little after 2 am, you could watch the mass migration of bar patrons across the bridge from Catt County to Erie County ... unless you were old enough to be part of the exodus yourself.

This thing, or very similar iterations of this thing, has been making the rounds for at least 20 years.

 

 

 

I would guess shortly after March 2000.  It's a borderline illiterate ripoff of Molson's "I Am Canadian" ads.

 

"The Rant"Edit

In March 2000, using nationalism as a platform, the ad starred a man named Joe: an average Canadian, standing in a movie theatre, with a cinema screen behind him showing different images relating to Canadian culture. Joe proceeds to give a speech about what is it to be a Canadian and what it is not to be a Canadian, making particular efforts to distinguish himself both from common Canadian stereotypes of Americans ("I believe in peacekeeping, not policing") and common American stereotypes of Canadians ("I don't live in an igloo," "I say 'about,' not 'aboot'").

The grammar, punctuation & drunken rambling of it all does not paint a bright picture of those from Buffalo 🤣

 

Well, it WAS ripped off from a Canadian beer ad, which suits Buffalo's status as an honorary Canadian city.
