SCTV, funnier than Saturday Night Live with a way smaller budget.

Oh crap! I just realized the beginning sketch illustrated that it takes 3 polacks to turn on a TV!

Forty years later SCTV is still hysterical!

Eugene Levy was the original Borat!!

Andrea Marten is like on Lucy's level .. she's one GOAT

Catherine O'Hara looks so beautiful.

SCTV was way ahead of its time. Broaching subjects no one else would.

Levy’s eye brows are insanely funny! They have a life of their own!😂

*SCTV built and maintained a universe that was in fact more real than the world it portrayed.* Every time the SCTV theme started up I felt "That is THE place to be, I'd like to move there, it's my kind of world." NOTHING then and now could touch it. It's still amazing.

Well we all know where George Costanza got his "I was in the pool!" line

SCTV is what use to make TV great! Todays crap doesn't even compare to the talent on this show then! RIP big John Candy! You made me proud to be a Canadian

Catherine O'Hara has always been beautiful and hilarious! Didn't grow up watching SCTV, but it's great to watch these old episodes! Thank you for posting these!

Canada has provided hockey and great humor❤🙏🏼

OMG!! This stuff is hilarious!!!! 🤣 This should be converted into 4k and released all over!! Comedy gold!!

Ghostbusters academy of comedic art

I miss John Candy and Harold Ramis! They were amazingly funny.

Lived outside of Buffalo at this time. Used to pick SCTV with the antennae from Hamilton, Ontario. Best comedy ever to this day.

"I was in the pool all morning..." Legendary

9:38 --"I was swimming all morning."---John Candy....bwhahahahahahahaha......Comedic Legends, all of them. Priceless.

There’s no way this could be on TV now

Wow . I didn’t know John Candy was fluent in Leutonian.

Eugene Levy aged quite well. I think he is more handsome as an older man.

This cast is so stacked.

Harold is the cutest StethoscopistStethoscopologistElectrostethoscophotographologist ever.

Wow what a great cast. Canada was kicking ass

How have I survived all these years without my SCTV.

As a huge sctv fan, this is one of my ultimate favourites.

Okay, Plainsclothes Mountie just blew my mind - I was doubled OVER!!!!

True story: just showed the “Gypsies ptoo” sketch to a Romanian coworker thinking she might get the joke. Did she ever! and has been imitating John Candy the rest of the day every time I look at her! “Gypsies, ptoo!” And laughing and laughing! SCTV really tapped into something there!

SCTV rocked back in the day! Much better than SNL.

If you've never seen the sctvs version of "the godfather" you have to watch it !! Hands down funniest skit you will EVER see. 😂😂😂😂😂

The 70s were a different time. 😁

Holy shit Eugene is hilarious

John Candy hosting the Leutonian Hour... And from there, the Schmenge Brothers were born! 😂

SCTV the good ol' days and it's still funny lol

Every time I want to say some words of encouragement to one of my friends I simply tell them, "skate skate skate Johnny, skate down the rink!"

"where did you read about it" The watchtower"- funny as all get out, that being the Jehovah witness mag

I am still in love with Andrea Martin.

Hilarious to see this vasectomy sketch, written and performed so long ago. The nurses chortling, the men comforting each other. Happy that SCTV is being kept alive here. Thanks!

back when i was about 16 in 88 me and my best friend were super heavy metal, we had long hair and the jean vest with all the band patches and all that stuff. i use to wear this cross on a chain ear ring that hung down to my shoulder and me and our little circle wore a lot of bracelets which wasnt the norm in that scene. anyway one day my friend took me with him when he was visiting some grandmother a few cities away, she was this stern old lady from some other country "no idea where" but the second she saw us she gave us the most indignant glance and said we looked like Gypsies. we thought it was hilarious and took it as the best compliment we ever got, we joked about it for months.

"He's gonna be another Pat Bouttete..not quite as good as him...but.." LOL. Brilliant improv line by Joe, and you can see John almost losing it, which is why they cutaway to Catherine. (FYI, Bouttete was a second or third-stringer on the Leafs at that time). Withooot a dooot, THE greatest sketch comedy show ever...eh?

To me, Catherine O'Hara's masterpiece. I've waited for this segment for years in my patience. In my music history latin chants, only Catherine could master the gregorian chants and bring them to modern acceptance, even though those who stubbed their toes could not refrain from cussing out loud and violate their vow.

"Johnny's Home" - rotf! Levy's facial expressions are always hilarious!

5 stars...better than anything on TV today.....

A gypsy once stole my canned peaches. Prove me wrong.

I had to go to the emergency room... I busted a gut after watching this episode of SCTV... I'm better now.

The Hitler moustache on Eugene Levy🤣🤣🤣🤣

Joe Flaherty was brilliant

Turn around and face me. I am facing you! LMFAO

"I was swimming all morning" hahahahaa

"Johnny, pass the vegetables". I just laughed beer out my nose. EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

"Pass the vegetable" lol i'm using this on my sister haha

I laughed harder, and more often, at this one 30 minute video than I have in 5 years of sitting through SNL. I really wish Joe Flaherty had as big as his co-stars.

I'm so glad to find this little trove of episodes, because it's been incredibly difficult to find anything other than the NBC edition of the show in the US, but from about '88-93 or so, I watched the Nick at Nite edition of the show, and haven't been able to find that anywhere. It seemed to be a half-hour version of all the previous shows including the NBC stuff.

Bring back SCTV!

the best TV comedy ever!

Oh my goodness , “Those darned Canadians !!!”

EXCELLENT, from a time when we could laugh at ourselves.

Loved SCTV, and it’s still hilarious decades later.

We're going to be alright you creep...Eh?😂😂😂

One of the best tv comedy shows.

This John Candy Character is interesting, 3:52 i see were Bill Hader got his Italian Talkshow - Idea from that he does on SNL. :-D

Always thought Catherine O'Hara was super hot.

This show was so epic miss the good old days no cell phones and no internet

There definitely needs to be more sketch shows. Joe Flaherty is def one my favs. Candy ofc also but that’s without saying.

"valve job. So simple a dentist could do it" !!!!!!!!!

" I AM facing you !"

I bet they had a hard time not laughing at Eugene Levy's "poet" character, because i was apoplectic. Joe Flaherty was likely the inspiration for Mike Myers character in So i married an Axe Murder. Which was awesome too!

What a stacked cast

DAMN. I really needed this today.

Wow plenty of origins here. Leutonians (Schmenges) Mckenzies, Real Good, and even count floyds laugh, Bobby bittmans laugh, Edith prickles laugh

Lmao, what is happening! I love this ultimate stream of 70s consciousness

As a Romany Gypsy, I found this hilarious. I don't know why they picked us. The story about God baking people in an oven is actually real but not an actual belief. Just a Santa Claus story to reassure brown kids. Also a Canadian, I once sat directly behind Katherine O'Hara at a Bob Marley concert.

The best is still the best ever.

They were all brilliant.

The best comedy sitcom ever produced. The actors were all amazing comedians !

God, I miss this show and all the cast. Better than SNL.

The fly landing on her face is hysterical! 😅

That's how we used to change the channel before we had remotes

Skate johnny skate. He shoots he scores !! 😂

Man I remember this show its jokes I used to watch it when I was very young. Brings back memories.

Aww crap!! All I needed was B-9.

I forgot how good these sketches were. Thanks for posting.

I saw the boom mic in the Doctors Office Sketch lol

I am facing you, I couldn’t stop laughing.

8:36 cameo by Mike Fun fact!: “Gypsies” come from Egyptian. It’s also were the term “gipped (ripped off/ cheated/ bamboozled)” comes from.

This is the best!

The cast of SCTV were hilarious! Every one equally funny! This was real comedy!

“I am facing you”😅

Your a hockey playing fool Johnny . Another Pat Boutete. Lol

Bea! Bea! Ya can'nae leave yer Angus, Bea!

if you watch all the episodes, you KNOW that other shows have used (SNL, Seinfeld) some of their material and shall we say, "updated" it....pure genius

Canada’s answer to Monty Python 🤪

Sctv John candy as hockey player

RIP Joe Flaherty😑

I love SCTV REST IN PEACE ALL OF THE PEOPLE DISCOVERED BECAUSE OF SCTV!!

amazing amount of talent here - everyone in the troop

Use to watch them all the time really funny

So funny, so smart, so well done. Gold, Jerry.....gold!

I grew up watching this stuff man i was like 15 years old sitting on the couch smoking a joint at mom and dad's everybody was asleep and SCTV would come on late at night and i'd sit there higher than a kite laughing my ass off
