Long Live Bob and Doug !!!

Andrea Martin, Joe Flaherty, and Harold Ramis (who had already left at that time) are actually the only SCTV cast members who were U.S. citizens and not Canadians.

@@omegaseamaster1550 Long Live "Strange Brew" & Ian Thomas (Dave "Doug McKenzie" Thomas' brother).

@@canaisyoung3601 Believe it or not, Ramis was Canadian-born (the other 2 were not).

me too 52 love those guys

53, and loving it just as much, if not even more so! I went to Florida about 15 yrs ago. I was down there with 2 other ladies from the States. The parking lot wasn't too busy. I turned to my American friends and told them I could find another Canadian in less than 20 seconds... I let out the first part of the Mackenzie theme song... I got an immediate response of the second half of the call.. Met up with them.. Made some new friends

@@Justtc So awesome! Coo Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo...?

@@PeterNordBushcraft coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo. (I may have lost count. lol)

56 .. great memories filled the 60s, 70s and 80s ... television was awesome. Good-day

We lived in northern MN when I was a kid and the only TV station we picked up was the CBC out of Winnipeg. I swear, they'd show Bugs Bunny cartoons before Hockey Night In Canada. Great memories. My sister and I knew O Canada before we knew the Star Spangled Banner.

@@pauljohnson3340 this comment makes me proud to be canadian... im from saskatchewan canada. this was and will always be the best sketchs

@@evanfries5567 same, eh!

And probably got drunk, since they had beer there and it was most likely real.

It wasn't "Rick & Dave" you hosehead, it's Bob & Doug, eh.

Isn't that a waste of film and set time? Why not just do that sort of thing elsewhere, and create a script that way?

@@scottdoesntmatter4409 1. It's tape. 2. The lack of a script was the whole point. 3. Who died & made you associate producer?

@@RatPfink66 Who died and made YOU the arbiter of all that is the internet? Idiot.

In the 1983? Just sayin'. Is that like a Kanadian kar, eh?

@@andrewfrankovic6821 "Kanadian Kar"? WTF? Just sayin'...

@@billybandyk0720 Ya know, eh? Wheelin' 'round in the 1983, blowin' people up. HOO WEE!

@@andrewfrankovic6821 KOOL!!!!! Thanks 4 the clarification. BTW, Andy; WINNER, WINNER!!!!! LIQUID MFin' DINNER!!!!! U know WTF I'm alluding 2 (i.e.: BEER!!!!!).

@@billybandyk0720 HOOO WEEE!!! You blowed up real good.

I agree totally!

certainly anything recently

@@unfortunatebeam true, the 1st 4-5 yrs were funny. Then it went dry for about 10 years then dried up and sucks swamp water now.

Yeah the first years were funny, also some of the Eddie Murphy stuff, the late 80/early 90s period were the best imo, the late 90s were ok, basically from Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon onward it went downhill and never came back. It's kind of annoying actually that they don't just cancel it.

I mean SNL basically ripped them off all the time

Just because you put "Strange Brew," in Parentheses, does not mean you are Lying.

@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 LOL! How many times have I stolen THAT line!

@@mikearchibald744 The title cut from Dave's brother (Ian Thomas; best known 4 "Painted Ladies") is also XTRMLY UNDERR8D!!!!! BTW; "I I GOTTA TAKE A LEAK SO BAD I CAN TASTE IT!!!!!".

@@billybandyk0720 I'm not a musical elitist but a LOT of canadian music from the eighties is seriously underrated. Poor Ian included:)

Set to the script of hamlet!

They're not specifically mocking their producers. By the Canadian content law (CanCon) they are required to include a minimum amount of Canadian-based and created content per episode. Since they were being forced to do so by a regulatory commission, they decided to mock them by shoving an overtly Canadian caricature down their throat. And it became one of the best things to come out of SCTV; and that's saying something. The producers were thankfully forced to comply.

Every Canadian show had to do it. _Forever Knight_ showed recurring moody footage of the Canadian National Tower. _Due South_ had Constable Benton Frasier act especially Canadian ("Oh Dear Ray...") while constantly wearing his red serge RCMP uniform. _How I Met Your Mother_ had Robyn (Cobie Smulders) get outed as a Canadian ("Ya want Summer Teeth?").

Jim F liberal govt

Ermmm, that's not quite true. The very first Bob and Doug skit came to be because they didn't have enough content. The whole show was Canadian SCTV.. These guys and everyone at Second City know how to improvise... So they threw together the set and their baby was created. Since the parent storyline is that of a television station (SCTV), well that's just the perfect platform to protest current (at the time, new) changes..

@@Justtc I like the other story better.

oh ya eh.

Amelia Doubleyou I would do that if I was a teacher.

Wonder if they stopped once Nunavut became a province.

And a beer!!

In a tree😆🍺🌲

Right?

+solar clapson No, Bob and Doug were on SCTV before it was on NBC. First appearance was Sept 19, 1980. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_and_Doug_McKenzie

Well said. Mine is pretty close to yours. 17 or so, late-night PBS, watched on a rudimentary TV, laughing hard, watching SNL and thinking "How is this funny?"

Yeah we aren't far from Toronto.

we started watching on PBS BEFORE NBC run (about 1977-78) so by the time Network 90 came on on Fridays, we had been fans for years!

What a great story! Great Mom!

mark ledgerwood same but in England

I totally agree. 👍🏾🇨🇦

Pass me a beer.

@@thewaryears 🍺

Loved them, still have their album somewhere. At 3:48 we see why the skit began. Due to Canadian government rules Moranis and Thomas simply put all the bad Canadian stereotypes together into two brothers to satisfy Canadian content rules.

Well, SCTV was good because they had a combination of real talent and good writers for a longer period. It was the beginning for a lot of talent like Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, and John Candy. Howard Ramis was a writer on the show.

I think two of the members were on both shows. Martin Short and Robin Duke.

@@SidneyBroadshead *Harold, not Howard

@@nehemiahmarcus308 Also Tony Rosato, plus lots of other SCTV alumni were frequent SNL guest hosts. But don't forget veterans of Second City (the live comedy sketch group that SCTV came from) who went on to SNL. There was the original Second City troupe from Toronto, and then the spin-off group from Chicago. Gilda Radner and many others got their start on Second City.

@@guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272 Very true; especially the L8, GR8 Detroit, MI native Gilda Radner. I only mention Detroit bc that's where I'm also from. W/that said, I've always had an affinity 4 Canadian culture (especially on the musical front; Dave's brother Ian Thomas is a major musical idol of mine).

“It’s a jelly”

Just like Obama

80's 90's movies ....Justin Treaudeau said 'there is no Canadian Culture". What a complete jack@$$!!! Has he ever had a Beaver Tail, or scated on the Canal ? Has he ever been to Parliament Hill ? Has he ever heard of a Pow Wow or seen a Native dance ? What about the Tipi and The Igloo ? Has he ever been to Vancouver and smelled pot in the air ? Has he ever seen the 4:20 celebrations ? Has he ever heard a Newfie speak or listened to CBC ? What about David Zazuki or Champlain ? Has he ever been to the Calgary Stampede ? .....on and on and on

Fuckin a, I hope these goofs get a soaker on their way to hockey.

They're just salty that their back bacon & beer recipe failed.

Take off, eh?

Take off

take off!!!

***** Although I have to say, that the audience sounds like there's something wrong with them. (No offense, but are they stupid or something?)

Moreover, they're Harmless human beings. I admire that quality more than any other ~

***** Moranis and Thomas definitely hold a place among the greats. As for the audience, I don't know. I guess they're, ya know, hoseheads or something.

@@0okamino Nah; the audience's full of knobs, eh?

YESSSS EH????!!!!

They are both shit-faced, as far as I can tell, especially Rick.

Well, this was always the last sketch that was filmed during episode production and there was hardly anyone in the studio except for Thomas, Moranis, and the cameraman. Plus they had a lot of cartons of Canadian beer...

Fuck off, then TAKE OFF, eh?

There are now sixteen hosers. TAKE OFF, EH?

20 hoseheads now eh

27 hoseheads now. They can take off. Good day, eh?

Terry Evans ......27 Hose heads can take off ya hozers , eh

Resistance is futile, eh?

Wow, you blue my mind. Today?

Wait this isn't how they speak?

In all honesty, based on all the Amurkin tourists I've dealt with and all the Amurkins I've seen questioned on TV about the world they live on? Most are heinously ignorant about not just Canada but the world.

@@angelsphere You think it's a Canadian stereotype that Americans are installing looking and ignorant? That's just quantifiable fact.

I think the cliche comes from Newfoundland. I know somewhere in Canada they actually speak like that. I know that there is a place in America where they speak like that, I think it’s Minnesota. I’ve never been to either place but I’ve heard about it. Idk I was raised in Ontario and was born in Nova Scotia. My mom went to Newfoundland and said they talked like that.

Some Canadians do speak like that. Being an ex-Minnesotan there are tons who speak like that there as well, eh!

@8:45: They invented the true crime podcast, too😝

Those thieving knobs, eh.

+SonOfTamriel Hahah I never notice that. Too funny

You mean Waynes world is an American version of this Also Mike Myers is Canadian and from Second city

BATCOOKIE What happened there when he popped it? 😉

Lol. You're supposed to squeeze it and see what happens. Florida is a grower, not a "show"-er😆😆
