I haven't heard this in 40 years. Brings back fond memories if the 80's. SCTV (Second City TV) was great. Thanks fir jogging my memory & tickling my funnybone 😁
Omg...eh?.lol 😂😂 From The Great White North, a Canadian comedy show from 1981, Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis play two fictional dim witted Brothers, Bob and Doug Mckenzie, who comment on various elements of Canadian life. Jokes like a movie shot in 3B.... 3 beers. Such a great poke at 12 Days of Christmas... Canadian style. A very popular show in Canada and the US. Great reaction Harri. Love your Christmas back ground. 🎅🎅Thanks Harri and Imadrummin eh? 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 🎄🎄🎅🎅❄️❄️
@agnetesorensenelbom5085 I hope you enjoyed our Canadian sense of humor, I'm not sure what Harri thought though. 🤣🤣 Have a wonderful day Agnete. 🥰🥰🎄🎄🎅🎅🤗🤗🎶🎶
I think this album is better when you are already a fan of SCTV, the comedy show that feature Bob and Doug and the Great White North from the early 80's.
Thanks so much for playing this, Harri. I still have my original disc of the McKenzie Brothers' debut album. Bob (Rick Moranis) and Doug (Dave Thomas) McKenzie are fictional brothers who were very popular in Canada in the 1980s and played by alumni of the legendary SCTV TV series, which aired in Canada first from the mid-1970s and later on NBC after The Midnight Special for 90 minutes!! for two seasons in the early 1980s. You should react to the song Great White North off the same comedy album as Rush singer/bassist Geddy Lee, another Canadian with a sense of humour, sings it. It's actually quite a catchy little ditty.
They are Canadians. I live in the US but grew up on SCTV. They are awesome! And both became big after the show... along with Eugene Levy and John Candy...
Second City Television, commonly shortened to SCTV and later known as SCTV Network and SCTV Channel, is a Canadian television sketch comedy show that ran intermittently between 1976 and 1984. It was created as an offshoot from Toronto's Second City troupe. It is an example of a Canadian show that moved successfully to U.S. television, where it aired on NBC in 1981-83. The cast was John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Harold Ramis, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Robin Duke and of course Dave Thomas (Doug) and Rick Moranis (Bob). Because of differences in airtime between Canadian and U.S. tv stations, Bob and Doug Mackenzie were created to take that extra time. And to poke fun at Canadian content regs for Canadian broadcasters, eh. The SCTV cast received the Earle Grey Award for their contribution to Canadian Broadcasting in 1995. Hari, this will give a taste of the show: ua-cam.com/video/c2EscDjpf9k/v-deo.htmlsi=hBN7rCLjKu-cGQPS (Sorry for the terrible quality but it was 1995, eh!)
This album had a single called Take Off which featured Geddy Lee from Rush on lead vocals. The song charted higher than any other track that Geddy ever sang on……..that’s insane 😂
The due(portrayed by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis) also mated a comedy movie in the 80s called Strange Brew,which also featured the distinguished actor Max Von Sydow.
Thank you. I grew up with Bob and Doug on SCTV, long before Honey I Shrunk the Kids, when variety shows were actually funny. I believe they played Canadians , but the Second City comedy troup was actually founded in Chicago, USA, and specialized in improv.
Well, actually both Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis are Canadians, as were most of the cast of SCTV which was originally created out of Second City Toronto, one of many offshoots of Second City Chicago, the originator. In 1995, the cast of SCTV were given the Earle Grey Award for their collective contribution to Canadian broadcasting (at the equivalent to the Emmy Awards in the U.S.): ua-cam.com/video/c2EscDjpf9k/v-deo.htmlsi=hBN7rCLjKu-cGQPS
These two charactures stretched this schtick into a movie. Strange Brew was the bame of it. Rick Moranis made a couple of notable movies, Ghost Busters and Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Dave Thonas has made a few B movies, still a funny guy though. Dave's brother, Ian Thomas had some hits on the Canadian charts in the 70s.. His songs have been covered by Santana, Chicago and Bette Midler.
For non-Canadians, a "toque" is that knitted winter cap or head covering. The characters in this were from an ongoing series of comedy skits on SCTV. There was also a movie, full of Canadian in-jokes, called "Strange Brew". Further... The "hoser" on the left is Rick Moranis who you have seen in Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989), Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Spaceballs (1987), Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989, and its 1992 and 1997 sequels), and Parenthood (1989), among others. The other is Dave Thomas (No not the "Wendy's" Dave) who you might have seen in Stripes (1981), Sesame Street Presents: Follow that Bird (1985), Love at Stake (1987), Moving (1988), Coneheads (1993) and Rat Race (2001). He provided the voice of Tuke in Brother Bear (2003), and Brother Bear 2 (2006), and is also known for playing Russell Norton in the TV series Grace Under Fire (1993-1998). Both are Canadian.
The McKenzie Brothers were the CBC’s answer to the Canadian government’s mandate that all networks air a minimum amount of hours that were strictly Canadian in nature. This was to combat what they deemed too much American media influence. The McKenzie Brothers were basically every ridiculous Canadian stereotype. If you ever branch out into movie reviews, they did a movie in the early ‘80s called Strange Brew. Good stuff!
My dear friend Dee-Jay. 🥰🥰🥰Just to put a smile on your face by these Canadian hosers is what it's all about and hopefully brought wonderful memories as well. ❤❤❤
You're welcome. I'm not Canadian but I sure love them. I find the song so funny because they could not keep up with the track. That alone is sooooo funny. Glad you enjoyed!!!!😀🥰✌✌
These guys were cast members on SCTV. They are Canadian as was the show. Doug and Bob are the character’s names not their actual names. They actually are Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas.
The thing that cracks me up the most is the timing and trying to keep up with the song track. It's a constant struggle to do with these hosers. Yeah, it ranks up there with Stairway To Heaven. To all of my hoser friends up in Canada and all over, Happiest Holidays, eh!!!🎄🎄🎄
Very funny would love to see you do a reaction to rudolph the red nosed reindeer by the fab four who are an emmy award winging beatles tribute band its such a great great cover you would four sure like it a lot. Really love your videos
Watch the very amusing and goofy movie Strange Brew (still free on youtube I believe) and the McKenzie brothers comic vibe will make more sense, I gather. Beer plays a prominent role in the movie to the point of almost being another character. A lot of good laughs in there. Merry Christmas.
I knew them (their characters as The McKenzie Bros) from the movie Strange Brew 1983) i still have it on vhs altho its not been played glfor an eternity! I later found their albums, but idk they had a tv comedy Show or series until just now from reading the comments! I assume from where this is taken from, of course I recognize Rick Moranis, grew up watching his movies and loving him, not familiar with the other guy except from the STRANGE BREW movie, great classic comedy, great guys!❤️👍 Just found where Strange Brew is free to watch on YT, what a surprise!!
Boy is my face red! Plus I'm totally weirded out that you've already done Life During Wartime. Hm. That certainly threads the eye of the needle of coincidence. 🤔😅
Hi Harri. I strongly recommend "The Twelve Days of Christmas" by Foster Brooks & "The Twelve Gifts of Christmas" by Allan Sherman. Merry Christmas to you & your family. --- Bill (From Mt. Holly, NJ)
These guys are Canadians Rick morranis and Dave Thomas sctv cast with John candy Eugene Levy Catherine O'Hara, Ghostbusters honey I shrunk the kids Spaceballs is one of my favorites
You can't have a reaction to something you don't know nothing about. If you had been a Canadian growing up in the 80s like me, you're reaction would be 😂. But props for choosing something about Canada! Not USA 😂😂😂.

Now that you heard this, you need to hear "Santa Claus and his old lady" by Cheech and chong
You had to be there.
Bob & Doug!!! They are Canadian icons! Bob is also known as Rick Moranis of Ghostbusters and a ton of other movies!
The whole Bob & Doug Mckenzie Great White North comedy album is hilarious. I was 15 when I first heard it. Take Off, eh!!!

This one brings back such wonderful memories. Thank you Harri and Imadrummin. 💞
Yes Diane, that's what its about. Wonderful memories and smiles.😀😀😀
SCTV was where John Candy, and Martin Short got their start.
The word "eh" gives ul Canadians. Hearing this song in around 1980 made me laugh ao hard. A beer in a tree...
Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas from SCTV, Canadians.
I used to love these guys. They’re hilarious. Thanks Imadrummin and Harri 🎄✌️
Glad it made you smile Debbie. You deserve it my friend.😀😀😀
