A Canadian couple found 115 stuffed animals in their walls! Were the stuffed animals being used for insulation?

You never know what you might find when you start doing work on your house. The previous owners might have hid some stuff in the walls, maybe an old bootlegger, or something left behind by construction crews. The possibilities are endless! However, you’d never expect to find what this Canadian couple discovered behind their walls. They found 115 stuffed animals!

Couple Finds 115 Stuffed Animals In Walls Of Home

Homeowner Connor Nijsse was removing old drywall during his garage renovation when he made the wild discovery. Connor tells CTV, “You can’t wrap your head around it. This is weird.” The couple pulled back more walls and found even more stuffed animals! It’s unknown who did this or why they did this but they shared the video on TikTok where it now has more than 5 million views. Could they have been used for insulation? That might make a little sense? More sense than any other possibility I feel like. You can see the video showing their discovery shared on TikTok by @c.c.woodwork below!

That’s a lot of stuffed animals! Insulation seems to make sense seeing as the areas where they are seems to have very little or no insulation compared to areas next to it that do and don’t have any stuffed animals to be found.

The couple took to social media to see if anyone recognized any of the stuffed animals from their childhood and Angela McNellan recognized a fluffy yellow duck! She reached out to the couple and said she loved her Fluffy Ducky Buddy so much growing up but all of its stuffing game out and her mom had to throw it away. Now, she has a new one. Well, new is loosely used here.

Now, the couple is determined to find homes for the discarded orphan stuffed animals. According to CTV, they’ve sent stuffed animals to strangers from the US to the UK. That’s amazing! The power of the internet. Angela tells CTV, “Honestly it feels like the Canadian spirit to me. It’s spreading joy to so many families. It’s wonderful.” Who knows how long they were in there but they are all being freed now. Hopefully they can get some real insulation in there to help keep the area warm. Those stuffed animals might have been serving a purpose. Or it could all be a long con. Who knows?

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

7 'Eh-List' Celebrity Canadians

How’s she goin’ eh? Canadians hold a special place in our hearts. That’s why you’ll frequently hear about ‘Those Crazy Canadians’ on Dave & Chuck The Freak. However, not every famous Canadian has done something worthy of making the segment. In fact, many celebrities are indeed Canadian. Here are 7 ‘Eh-List’ Celebrity Canadians that everyone knows.

Now, just because everyone knows these celebrity Canadians that have become household names doesn’t mean they know these celebs are Canadian! Of course, some will be obvious than others.

Some of the biggest names in show business are Canadians. There are musicians, actors, comedians, and athletes alike that all hail from Canada. These Canadians are our buddies, they are our guys, and they are our friends. Sorry, South Park.

I decided to do a list of 7 ‘Eh-List’ celebrity Canadians, but there are much more than 7 of them. Limiting the list to only 7 caused a few problems. That meant some big names were being left on the cutting room floor!

Here are some recognizable names of celebrities you might not have known were Canadian that didn’t make the list of 7: Keanu Reeves, Celine Dion, Michael J. Fox, the late Matthew Perry, William Shatner, Will Arnett, Neil Young, and more!

When you look at the full list, it’s actually very impressive! The funniest comedians in the game seem to be from Canada. There’s Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman, and more that we’ll talk about in a minute. Then, the world of rock and roll is no different! You’ve got Chad Kroeger, Avril Lavigne (think they mind being so close to each other on this list?), and who could forget The Barenaked Ladies? Also, I know he’s not rock but I feel like I have to mention Michael Buble because he’s Canadian and I think we’d get along very well.

Regardless, here are 7 ‘Eh-List’ celebrity Canadians!

Seth Rogen is one of my favorite people on the planet. He’s hilarious and he seems like a good dude. In other words, the ultimate Canadian! He talks about growing up in Canada a lot. He has a lot of pride for his homeland.

Honestly, if I could pick one celebrity to hangout with, I’d pick Seth. I have no doubt we’d be good friends.

Justin Bieber might not have all the traits that Canadians are known for having, like being pleasant and generally nice, but he still is Canadian! The superstar was born in London, Canada. They might not want to claim him, but it remains true.
Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey is another funny person from Canada. He was born in Newmarket, Canada. One of the funniest people of all-time, in my opinion. You can always count on Jim for a laugh.
Drake

You probably were aware that Drake is Canadian. He talks about it a lot in his music…like a lot! He’s also frequently spotted at Toronto Raptor games. Yeah, he’s Canadian.
Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling isn’t just Ken–he’s Canadian! It rhymed better in my head. Ryan proves Canadians aren’t just kind or funny…they can be sexy, too!
Pamela Anderson

Speaking of sexy Canadians, that brings us to Pamela Anderson! Yes, indeed, she is Canadian. She was born in Ladysmith, Canada. She was originally discovered at a BC Lions football game in Vancouver wearing a Labatt’s Beer t-shirt. How Canadian is that??
Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds is many things: an actor, a soccer team owner, an entrepreneur, a father, a husband, and most importantly–a Canadian. He was born in Vancouver. His father was even a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman! Very Canada.
