FInally - I FOUND IT!!! Nobody believed me about this. Pure gold

still better than anything on TV today!!

Yosh was a true renaissance man. Clarinetist, beautiful singing voice, light on his feet and such a presence on stage. Riveting!

This show was absolute Comedy GOLD... Just Genius .. brings back such good Memories ... more comforting than some good Cabbage Rolls and Coffee..

What an event!! Candles of the world, Melonville's busiest intersection and a week of cabbage rolls and coffee. it just doesn't get any more glamorous! Lucky ladies!

I'm not from Leutonia, but i identify as someone whom is. The 8 people who dislike this video am probably from Plutonia, Plutonia always been a very poor country & jealous of our success in Leutonia. Leutonian women are best looking in all europe & our football team is best in world. Our national dish is cabbage rolls & coffee & our national bird is the beaver. Our flag is a puking vulture on yellow field. Come to Leutonia & see glorious revolutionary tire fire of 1937, still going strong!

The Candles of the World Show was stunning.

Brilliant! There were cable access channels in Chicago at that time where this would have played as news.

Amazing how these guys could stay in character

"Leets hear it for Stan schmenge!" ... "ok thats enough"

The way Miss E-Zee parking hiked her dress up!

Thanks for posting thisI havent seen it since it ffirst aired in 1983 and ive been looking for it on KZfaq..That part where Candy dances the polka with each of the contestants while Levy takes an accordian solo kills me.

I still think about that cabbage head candle 40 years later!

Having lived in Chicago, I've been to many of these.

If you didn't grow up in Ontario during the late 70's to 80's you're missing out on a whole 'nother level of irony here. If you do remember Walter Ostanek's Polka Time on tv tho, SCTV completely captures the low production values & sauerkraut-&-accordion perfection.

I'm pulling for Miss Glass Fixtures.

Cabbage rolls and coffee for a whole week ? Now we are talking about something. I feel like dancin after eating my cabbage rolls and coffee.

"End ve'd like to t'ank Mrs Vilve Yatchke for de cabbage rolls-" "End de coffee!"

And there are the two losers who will just go home... God I miss SCTV and the brilliance of that show.

Next year I hope to have my daughter enter this pageant and be a runner up

I spent a week in Leutonia last year. They have running water now and indoor toilets are right around the corner.

Filmed on location from a Woolworth parking lot in Edmonton!

Loved it. Again! Seen it so many times!! There's no ridicule in this portrayal. We can just love them.

You know you're in the home of someone from Leutonia when you see the cabbage candles.

I never noticed that Stan pronounces his surname slightly different that Josh. They do this in every skit.

John Candy and Eugene Levy, you guys were the absolute best.☕️

It is hard to say "No" to anything from the Old Country like this.

Truly a great Victory Walk!

Stan’s sideways glances are priceless.

Stan especially is really "on" in this-- he really was Mr Showbiz.

Reminds me of Berwyn Illinois

When I saw Miss Glass Fixtures (?),cleaning the toilet, this memory, came flooding back. Five stars, even if nuthin' blowed up real good....Thanks for posting. :D

Why didn't they show the petal plucking race? That's been the center piece of the Miss; Leutonia Pageant since its inception.

Thanks for sharing these!! Brilliant!!!

went to Leutonia last summer. The cabbage rolls and cofee were em em god.

Serious housecleaning as the Talent Competition. Keep smiling girls!

Growing up in Calgary and going to vist my Ukrainian relatives in Edmonton you cannot imagine how funny this was at the time ! It's like if you lived in Chicago and went to Fargo, which may be a little unfair to Edmonton but not by much! Sorry.

Took me SOOOOOOO many years to find this. I couldn't find it in any of the compilations. Nobody believed it when I tried to describe it - nah, that never happened! "A pretty girl is like a melody"

Lawrence Welk would approve 🤣

These guys really got into their characters. You can’t do any of this today.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever uploaded this! I was a major SCTV fan back in the day and the Happy Wanderers were perhaps my favorites, but I don't remember this one. It's great (however you say that in Leutonian 😉)!

Genius. Levy soooooooooo underrated. Miss John candy.

I miss John Candy, and this show!

Yosh is so light on his feet!

Thanks for sharing!

I really dig stan's swinging accordion I wish they did a full recording of the song!

I would like a Leutonian mail order bride.

Indeed. They say the poem Of Cabbages and Kings was inspired by the Shmenge Brothers.

The saddest thing is that I really liked the accordion solo...how can I be helped?

Yosh and Stan Schmenge remind me of Steve Martin's and Dan Aykroyd's characters on "Saturday Night Live" -- Georg and Yortuk Festruk, the "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" from Czechoslovakia.

I can almost taste the homemade cabbage rolls and coffee.

candles of the world...

Love it, love it, love it.

3:56 Not gonna rinse the dish?

A four way tie! 😃😃😃

"It is Leutonian tradition that the women are happy in their (domestic) work!"

Hysterical!

There is something so endearing about the Schmenge Brothers!

I caught a reed when he threw it in the audience, that man could blow a clarinet like nobody's buisness

Leutonian tradition that women are happy in their work !

The sponsors names on the sashes cracks me up. My vote is for Miss E-Zee Parking.

Can’t be beat!

I gotta visit Leutonia one of these days. The women are absolute babes!

Those two were absolutely nuts! Lol

Brilliant fun this stuff.

Who else could it... be...the hosts of Miss Leutonia pageant but the Shmenge Brothers.

I thought oh they’re really going for it with a tie for 3rd Runner Up - no one would see that coming.

Megan Smith played Miss E-Zee Parking. She was on a CBC Radio comedy show called "The Norm". Rosemary Dunsmore played the blonde "loser" who was eliminated in the first round.

I vote for Ms. Eee Z Parking.

I'll take Miss Lighting & Roofing!

I love the depiction of eastern Europeans, warts and bad teeth.

hahah so goofy i freakin love it

Like an epidemic or something, with the four of them LOL

Leutonia....it’s on the dark-side of the Carpathians. 🐼

But it turned out that the winner had posed for Leutonian Playboy, and was disqualified LOL

I’m a bit disappointed that Linsk Minyak didn’t make an appearance.

What happened to Miss Wash Your Wool?

I got a kick out of this. The women in the skit looked like they were having a good time. The fourth runner up reminded me a bit of Madge Blake, who had a great sense of humor.

I would take these women over these 304s today!!

The royal duties!

How many episodes do you have taped?

Miss E Zee Park is my favrit. This pretty woman is happy wanderer of Spain Madrid. La mujer es bonita, si.

this is so stupidly funny

Distant relatives of the Sid Dithers family ??

Miss "EZ parking" has a double-meaning. If you know what I mean Stan?

Who is that Miss E-Zee Parking? Gorgeous!

Hilarious!

I got to ask, is there a Leutonia? Anybody know, anybody, anybody..? I heard it was the first of the Warsaw Pact nations to break away simply because the Russians forgot it was there in the first place, but I don't know where it is.

look at all the NBC peacocks on the platforms

1:18-1:35 appears to be the inspiration for Borat.

Like an epidemic, or something...omg

We love to look at the women! Oh boy!

Even in the neighbour country -Plutonia - there are beautiful girls. Some have got 6 Fingers on each hand, or 1 eye on the forehead. But all beauties, who don't need to hide. Love women with moustaches!

poor 4th runner up

9:23 like an epidemic?

Can't beat the cabbage rolls and coffee, ya. There are the losers, who just go home. But at least they got fed lol

the tall one doesn't even have high heels on . when i was younger it never bothered dating a tall females or having taller girl friends than me and I was 5'9" not exactly short back in the day . i find it strange, maybe sort of an insecurity thing that it seems most males want a female partner who is shorter than them

🎵 A pretty girl is just like a pretty tool.🎶

"Miss E-ZEE parking" Really?

Donald was in the audience, looking for his next wife.
