RIP Joe Flaherty. You and John rocked 1980's SCTV.
Amen to that. 😢
No one can ever take his place.
All of the cast did.
What I didn’t know he passed
@froglobster sadly. Yes, last month.
I didn't realize Joe Flaherty had passed away. 😢
Only those of us who grew up with Small Market TV can truly appreciate the satirical genius of SCTV
Yes Seattle back in the 60's 70's was a small market. We had a count on a local station on "Nightmare Theater" late at night. There must have been a lot of counts in various cities back then. I remember once when going to the Seattle center where the space needle is seeing this guy in his costume just walking around the grounds. He probably was making some public appearance there. This guy directed the childrens show JP Patches also and he sadly died at just age 55.Joe Towey was his name. Here's a clip of his introduction. I wondered if this was based on the Seattle count ua-cam.com/video/UgzUunELBqs/v-deo.htmlsi=msjIWj8-PAHKMVvw
i grew up on this sweet treasure everything from the Mckenzie brothers to Fantasy island Mr. Candy as tattoo and the car Cardova hehe just pure gold.
me too hilarious
I grew up outside Chicago. I was lucky to get it.
that is super bonzariffic m8 i grew up in Manchester Washington across from Seattle they had sctv on channel 13 kcpq oh what great funny and happy memories@@mezmerizer0266
I love that Count Floyd is a vampire that howls like a wolf.
He's trying to be as scary as possible so we don't mind paying $26.00 for the 3D glasses
Omg I didn't even think of that. 40+ year joke.
I guess u never read Bram Stoker's Dracula's Guest... where the famous Count Dracula turns into a wolf. Perhaps Count Floyd has read it?
@@JimiLaMort actually a pretty good point there. I never thought of that.
And is a vampire that wears a turtleneck. It's brilliant.
R.I.P. Joe Flaherty (1941-2024)
In lieu of flowers, please send $27.00 to receive a pair of 3D glasses.
I would, but I'm actually still waiting for mine I gave Count Floyd in 1981 😘
😆👏
I love how he looked at the 3D Glasses and just came up with a price for them on the spot.
@@azbluefox I forgot about how he can up with the price😆
Catherine O"Hara's cat transformation was more terrifying than the wolf transformation from American Werewolf In London.
It actually WAS
That movie was total garbage. This one is a classic for the ages
Not even close 🤨
Right ! She was really attractive too its jarring . ...I had to take off my 3d glasses. It scared the jeepers out of me eh?
It's what inspired the cell phone cat filter we all know and love.
My Dad and I watched SCTV back in the day. He would do the silly lean in and out 3d thing at random moments. 😂
Damn it, i miss him...
Lucky you to have a dad with a sense of humour!
💖
I used to howl with laughter watching this show with my brother. My brother’s gone, and now Joe’s gone too. Sad, but at least I have great memories of watching this brilliant show with him.
1:25 John Candy kills me with his lisp in this scene - “Would you like to see my Dinky” 😆😂🤣
Dr. Tongue's House of Cats is truly a semi-classic of the genre
*pseudo-genre
Yes, you only get to see the clips of the "movie" because Count Floyd shows it in "Monster Chiller Horror Theater" .
RIP Joe. Thank you for decades of laughter.
RIP Joe Flaherty 😢
You and John Candy will always be missed.
This is one of my favorite SCTV recurring skits. Count Floyd Rules The Night!
yesss Count Floyd rules the NIGHT!...in 3d!!!
I do miss SCTV. Their comedy program blowed up real good! John Candy as Yellowbelly never fails to crack me up.
Blowed up real good......lol nice
Sho Did 😁
I always had a thing for Catherine O'Hara. She was purrrfect.
She's not dead! I still have a thing for her. She's a brilliant character actress!
Gorgeous and really funny . Hard not to like her ...Andrea Martin was an amazing comedienne as well . Very talented
I was on a plane behind Catherine O'Hara and didn't bother her.
Meow!
Joe is funny as can be.
The entire cast was amazing.
The 3D effects are ahead of their time.
The show was under appreciated.
I agree about the special effects 3D. Elbows were the unsung hero of the effects magic.
Oh, they had plenty of fans back then. If I had a choice of SCTV or SNL, it was SCTV EVERY time!
@@remaguire Yup. SNL stinks of death for long periods, (now, for example), and SCTV regularly saved the weekend comedy aficionado from deep depression, or at least ennui.
For the people who watched it was our gain those who didn’t their lose. Still hilarious to this day.
i like the way count floyd waits a millisecond then says 27 bucks...like he just made the number u that second
Years ago I met Count Floyd, I mean Joe Flaherty on a plane. He's a super nice guy!
I am super jealous. I always thought he would be very nice in person. If you can see the dvds with features you can hear him and Dave commenting. A must see for a fan.
The 3D Effects are so Lifelike.
Woa i thought kenny lauderdale was the weird anime guy. But it makes sense he might dig through a lot of vintage stuff.
Not as scary as Dr. Tongue's House of Stewardesses!!
@@cheffdonty Only bad 3D is better than bad anime!
Yes, I found the Cat Girls to be uniquely convincing! #anime #neko
That's because it's in 3D
Candy, the Count, Eugene Levy, and Catherine O'Hara. A whole lot of comic genius going on there. RIP Joe Flaherty.
It's incredible how they trained those cats to attack in such a vicious and unforgiving manner. The 3-D adds an element of reality that could cause psychological trauma to the unprepared. Great movie overall!
I agree!😸
Love the violin soundtrack.
Given the budget yes
Scarier than The Exorcist
Unfortunately it was a cat-astrophe at the cat-box office. ;-7 (sorry. this is purr-ity bad!)
Man, I miss SCTV. Thank goodness for UA-cam
"They laughed at you in London too". LMFAO
Joe Flaherty playing newscaster Floyd Robertson playing a vampire, howling like a werewolf.. too funny for words.
To be fair, most news anchors (at least in America) at that time also were hosts of either local kids shows or those late-night shows where they showed B-level horror movies.
Earl Camebert is jealous, yet again
@@tubesocksbrigade3031wasn't it Camembert, but pronounced "Cannonbear" ?
The concept is so brilliant, because the characters and skits fall into the context of the entire SCTV show being a station with a bunch of personalities.
Floyd and Earl's "banter" at the News desk was priceless 😂
Flaherty really pulled off that passive/aggressive vibe that so many can relate to ,but keep bottled up.
No one with pet allergies can escape The House Of Cats!
Always impressed with how committed Floyd Robertson was to the Count Floyd character.
huh? he was committed to ALL his characters, the studio head one for example EPIC! forgot to add. he IS the studio head character playing the count floyd character, aka the selling of the 3d glasses at rip off prices to get money for the financially troubled station. do you even get what SCTV was lol. so actually he is 100% committed to playing the station CEO character WHILE playing count floyd. u must be a gen Z. talking on things you don't really understand, bravo thx for playing go get your participation trophy./ class dismissed.
okay, boomer.@@halburd1
I doubt Halburd is a boomer. More like a Gen X or Millennial as he seems unaware or perhaps just to lazy to use a capital letter to begin a sentence. Further he uses a "U" in place of "you", "talking on things " "thx". Such phrasing and poor grammar are the hallmarks of a later and less educated generation. Yet he is correct in the substance of his comment as all the SCTV characters were totally committed@@paulcoy9060
Much more than he was to delivering the news. He always hated that job. Clearly he lived to play Count Floyd.
Ah yes, Woody Tobias Jr. My fave.
Top-tier acting from the housecats in this sketch!
But the human actors helped them. John Candy was wrestling with the cats at least as well as Martin Landau wrestled with the octopus in "Ed Wood". And Landau won the Oscar, IMO largely for that one scene. Candy never won an Oscar. The movie business is so unfair.
Only thing better is Steve Martin cat juggling.
I just heard Joe Flaherty passed away
R.I.P Joe. Thanks for the laughs❤
I used to watch SCTV, it would come on at 11:00 pm on Sat. Night, and then find myself watching through till the end, then switching over, for the end of Saturday night live. We never thought so many people from SCTV would end up on SNL. 😲🐼🧐🤓🤡
Bruno should have had his own show. Clear discrimination against the handicapped by Caballero.
But Guy was handicapped! How dare you ! That's discrimination itself !
@@terenceflanagan1225 I think he just did that for respect, personally.
Classic John Candy. God I miss him.
Me TOO !
Same!
me too m8, a true legend forever him and also Mr. Harold Ramis too.
He is one of those guys everyone liked I think.
oh gosh yes in everything he did even in severl of john Candy's movies too hehe even in the Kung Fu uuuu scene in going berserk i still laugh so hard at that one, one of my fave movies as a kid too it also had Eugene Levy in it.@@mikepalmer2219
You know that line, "it never gets old!" The very first thing that never got old was those Monster Chiller Horror Theatre 3D gags. That shite never... ever... gets old! So stupid and so effin great.
Mad props to them for using real cats in this sketch!
what is wrong with you. they were not real cats. they are women turned into cats. did you even watch this?
@@halburd1😂 You got to hand it to him. He sure had a way with the women. Too bad they turned on him. 😂
Cats had to wonder..."What is this guy doing?" 😂
@@DaNinja60: ...turned on him rather than turned him on, eh?
😏
Back then a real cat was cheaper.
RIP Joe. We'll miss you.
Those cats were really pretty relaxed! I bet they were John Candy’s and Eugene Levy’s kitties!
The first joke was always that a vampire was howling like a werewolf
I’m watching some of my favorite SCTV skits with Joe Flaherty. He was epic as Count Floyd. SCTV was the funniest show on television, and Joe is brilliant here, as is the rest of the cast.
Dr. Tongue and Woody Tobias,Jr. : One of Horror's ALL-TIME great duos,right up there with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing!
RIP Joe Flaherty, the Count counts!
I remember discovering this on late night TV back in the day - so hilarious
This show was so good, I miss this show and all the cast, especially John Candy!🥺💕
RIP Joe Flaherty. Great comedy performer and writer. Love that he's a Pittsburgh native
Still one of the best comedy shows ever!!!
15 or 51 its still funny for me!
The way he does the "woo" just cracks me up every time.
He could've let it go with just one Woo, or two. But, a true artist he was, he knew, he had to woo all the way through. Wooooooo.
I wonder if everyone brought their cats to work for this sketch.
“Twenty….seven! Twenty seven bucks!” That little detail makes the Count such lower rent, lol.
Loved Count Floyd, and this was my favorite sketch. "Bruno, release the cats!!!"
Love Bruno with the 3d close-up.
God Bless John Candy. Miss him.
For some reason, I find SCTV much funnier now than I did back when I watched it on TV as a teenager in the early 80's.
I bet you are smarter now.
I get all of it now . I didn't actually get that there are repeat characters like flloyd / newscaster etc . I was pretty young when it aired though like 15. To 17? I still got most of it and it's incredibly funny regardless
that bit about seeing his dinky always cracks me up
"They laughed at you in London too" LOL
Ever time I see a modern movie with obvious “look at our cool 3d effects” moments, I think of Dr Tongue.
I miss John Candy- but boy was Joe Flaherty equally funny- count Floyd had me coming back every weekend- so weird and funny
Can you imagine what those cats were thinking? "What is this guy doing? I'm not doing anything!" 😂
They were thinking out me down, asshole.
Good lord. I saw most of the first few runs of SCTV on TV. Somehow I missed this incredible display of horrifying trained cats.
Loved Joe Flaherty as Count Floyd. It was the amazing effects like going towards and away from the camera that was truly scary. That and the umm... 27 bucks! Yes, 27 dollars you had to send to Count Floyd for the 3-D glasses.
I'm still waiting for my 3-D glasses that I sent my $27 for 40 years ago. I'm starting to think it was a scam and Count Floyd is living it up on a private island right now laughing at all of us for being gullible.
😂
SCTV always had a bizarre quality to it’s comedy. It may have been not having a studio audience or canned laughter that made their skits strangely funny.
R.I.P To A Great Actor Comedian Joe Flaherty,We Will Miss You 😢
SCTV rocked! Very creative comedy. I enjoyed it more than Saturday Night Live.
R.I.P. Joe Flaherty. You will be missed, Count Floyd. 😢
Forever in our hearts, Joe. 🧛♂
Any horror movie skit with cats in it has me. I am simple crazy cat guy.
That was scarier than a Hammer Horror!
My Cat, George hissed and clawed at the screen!
🐈⬛😉
I took a comedy course at Humber College in Toronto about 20 years ago & Joe Flaherty was the sketch comedy mentor/advisor/coach. He's a really sincere & humble guy - I was in the stand-up troupe, so didn't get a chance to work with him directly but did chat with him briefly. He's really friendly & a real comic genius. I think Canada rubbed off on him, cause he seemed more Canadian than American (not sure if that's a compliment 😁)
As an American im not offended eh. What little time I had in Canada with distant relatives i really miss . Great country
Rest in Peace, Joe
I would like to see the unedited footage of John Candy wrestling with the cats.
Back in the 70's we had Klara Kackle's Creepy Cauldron out of South Bend. Yes, a real show. This isn't too far off the mark! Great memories of SCTV and those late night horror cheesefests too!
I remember that show Beyond Our Control ...was that based in South Bend?
I think so. Beyond Our Control was low budget genius. Those kids were doing stuff pre-SNL and some of it was pretty damn funny! Nice to know I'm not the only one who remembers that show!!
Haha, I would watch that in a heartbeat! @BassRck50
Count Floyed the howling vampire. That's funny. Even as a kid that was funny.
And now, he's a 2021 inductee into the Horror Host Hall of Fame!
Dinky nearly took an eye out! I love that they used real cats!!
Would you like to see my Dinky? How 'bout a hot rum and Coke?
I love Bruno laying there dead with the kitten.
Oh my, what an awesome cast.
All of them are excellent performers and very creative.
I guess because I was a kid when this came out I didn't notice how freaking hot Catherine O'Hara was.
lol I was thinking the exact same thing.
Kinda why I can't watch her in _Schitt's Creek_ now. She looks like Cruella DeVille.
@@chrisjohnston4445 If she reads this I hope that you feel like sh*t
Don't worry, I was noticing enough for both of us.
I was like 15? I noticed but it REALLY hit me years ago watching in the 90s ? I was like Jesus shes gorgeous..I always remembered how funny she was ...but it totally didn't hit until then
I recall a time in my youth when I went to see a 3D movie at a theater. I really couldn't see what was so special about it... probably because the right lens had fallen out of the glasses and didn't notice it until the movie was almost over.
Yeah they definitely need both of them to work, but the effect of the older ones were not much.
these 3D effects were way ahead of their time
Youngsters and non-film buffs may not get SCTVs joke. In order to clearly demonstrate (and justify the movie theater admission price) 3D movies in the 1950s way too often (and clumsily) showed forward-backward movement of characters AND objects flying into the camera!
@@hlcepeda I remember those creaky old 3-D movies from the golden age of 2010, always trying to poke me in the eye with something
@@atomicdancer Those weren't so clumsily obvious and cheesy as the early ones.
That was so scary! I need to change my kitty litter now.
I'd pay good money to see movies like that.
No cats were harmed in the making of this skit! 🐱
I forget how great a show this was. And the talent that came out of it was/is extraordinary!
watched every episode growing up
it made me laugh so much
..people today probly wouldn't get half of it..but if ya grew up in the 80s..you should most definately..
on that note ..watch john candy as "grizzly abrams"
John was also part of the duo who gave film reviews. " A good movie,they blowed up good ! " Haha.So much talent came from there al la SNL and more.
I the episode where Count Floyd actually interviews Eugene Levy's deformed hunched back character. He actually looks exactly the same in real life, except he wears a nice suit.
I wonder of Flaherty ever got anyone actually sending him 27 bucks.
I always liked how with every episode of Monster Chiller Horror Theater the price of the 3D Glasses varied in price.
I know huh? 🤔🙄
Who knew you could do so much with Star Trek sound effects, a Truman Capote impersonation, and "Manos: The Hands of Fate" - oh, and 3D! RIP Joe and John - you both were tops!
What's wild is that some movies were about this desperate. The Uncanny and Eye of the Cat (long before the Stephen King anthology Cat's Eye) offered cats as some sort of spooky theme, and 1973's Sssssss was about a mad scientist turning Dirk Benedict into a snake.
And there's a Ray Milland classic from the same time period called "Frogs "
@@matthewgray469 it also has a young Sam Elliot before his hair turned grey.
And what about rene cardonas night of 1000 cats?
Sssss was a cool movie. Lol.
😂 lol that really brings me back so funny what a treasure John Candy was 😢
Great transformation scene near the beginning... Plus all of the 3D special effects 😉
As a kid , Count Floyd broke me up and still does! Joe Flaherty was so brilliant
Rest in peace Joe. You had us in stitches on SCTV back in the 80s when cable was still in its infancy and entertaining.
One of my favourite sketches. Monster chiller horror theatre. In 3D no less! ROFL. Awooo!
I like the rope handle on the coffin lid,
that's really scary
3:19 - Candy actually captured Vincent Price's mannerisms really well when he did that instant drop of his smile before shoving the guest list into the camera. This is obviously a parody of "House of Wax", but that's one horror classic I haven't gotten to see yet - did they really overplay the 3-D gags like that?
Not quite this bad, but they do have a gratuitous paddle-ball guy who's only there to show off the 3D.
Also, in 3D films in the Medieval, pirate, or sandals-and-sorcery genres, they'd always have waves of arrows, spears, thrown knives, and other missiles coming at the viewer; the 3D effect made most people naturally recoil in their seats.
thalia: Yea, there was always stuff in those movies that were only in there to show off the 3-d. Which was much cruder than the 3-d of today, where you don't have to do that because everything is 3-d all the time.
Missing 'Return of the Creature' made for 3-D to type this.
Creature from the Black Lagoon now in Sea World
@@roberthaworth9097 Yes kind of like in BRAVEHEART when they chargein one confrontation and they pull the spears up almost the last moment.I was in the second row. Yeah I leaned back.Lol Twice.Took my wife 2nd time.
A vampire that howls like a wolf!😂 🧛♂️
Terrifying and funny! 3-D! 😬
Joe Flaherty as Count Floyd sounds like Martin Landau doing "East European" on Mission: Impossible.
Or Landau doing Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood.
It seemed like ALL of Landau's accents in "Mission: Impossible," from Spanish to German to Armenian to Russian and beyond, all of them sounded exactly ALIKE to my ears. Lol. (Albeit, I love that show, which I've just gotten into watching, and he was great in it as Rollin Hand.)
THAT 3-D IS REALLY SCARY
These were great. I’m a fan of early 70s horror. This sketch was one of SCTV’s best.
in 2021, Nobody gets the joke at 5:07 where he says the 3d glasses are 27 bucks lol But the rest was gold!
Count Floyd never disappointed my brothers and I when we were kids! 🤣🤣🤣
A potion that turns people to cats ? Thats no horror show. Thats a dream coming true.
human devolution=Planet of the Cats...Purrvinna on earth
Human Devolution=The Planet of the Cats...Purrvana on earth
Hilarious!
A potion that turns people to _Cats_
This was actually a scary episode.
the 3D effect is very scary. terrifying
Oh i forgot how great these people were !!!
Thank you Joe for the great childhood memories.
