One of the many masterpiece parodies of SCTV..made all the greater by the scenes shot on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto circa 1981. Never understand why this didn't win the People's Golden Global Choice Award...RIP Dr Tongue...y'all.
They even got Nilsson for the music. At least, I think it's him. Sounds like him, but then again, I really thought that was Pauline Kael. Inspired madness. Love it. Levy really has Hoffman's limp down. Candy is Joe Buck II. With a questionable accent. Lmao.👍😄
No one could do meta like SCTV. A 3D remake of Midnight Cowboy starring Count Floyd movie favorites Dr. Tongue and Woody Tobias Jr. in lead roles *followed by* a panel discussion of the film including New Yorker film critic “Pauline Kael?” Priceless.
Any flick that has Dr. Tongue AND Woody Tobias Jr. in it is MUST-SEE viewing AND it's in 3-D to boot...YA'LL! If there was any justice in the world "Midnight Cowboy 2" would've won a few Oscars,too!
I loved SCTV, as much as SNL. And, I'm from the U.S.A. What a great cast of talented comedic actors, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Joe Flaherty, Catherine O'Hara, Rick Moranis and the amazing, late great, John Candy. 'He blowed up, real good'. Wow, I miss this show! I hope I didn't forget anybody in that stellar cast.
Toronto was always so thrilled when it could pass as New York. This whole sketch, or the two sketches, are great. 3D House of Pancakes 🥞. What i would give to go back there again.
exactly . when i was young i thought snl was the greatest . i even go back to the mid to late 70s when it started . but around 1980s i remember catching sctv repeats or current shows(can't remember) on the tv like in the wee hours(always been a night owl) . It blew me away , it was so weird cool, and satirical and funny as all hell . i stopped watching snl . I'm still pissed utube removed Litoninian Christmas with the Schmenge Brothers and "family members" . the christmas custom of men exchanging the socks they have on ; the giant cabbage roll , the staring at the xmas tree, and so on
That was a common thing on local stations at that time, people doing multiple jobs. In Chicago, Frazier Thomas was the host of afternoon kids show _Garfield Goose_ and Sunday's _Family Classics_ (films like _Heidi_ , _A Christmas Carol_ , &tc.). He later took over _Bozo's Circus_ when Ringmaster Ned retired. SCTV skewered small town t.v. stations accurately.
Pauline Kael was an American film critic who wrote for The New Yorker from 1968 to 1991. Known for her "witty, biting, highly opinionated and sharply focused" reviews, Kael's opinions often ran contrary to those of her contemporaries.
Classic skit midnight cowboy 2 ? Eugene levy is hysterical as ratso Rizzo and John candy as Joe buck !! Far superior to snl? I remember fighting to stay awake to watch sctv i believe it was on at 1:30 am? Well worth the wait ,I've been Bing watching for two weeks!!!
Who played Pauline Kael ?! i thought her character was really good. But i can't think of any of the regulars on sctv who would look like that by even a great special effects makeup artist . I would be very grateful for replies ! Please reply with some answers !

Pauline Kael was played by Mary Charlotte Wilcox, who also wrote for the show.
I went and looked up some images, and she looks a LOT like the real Pauline Kael. Wow.
Holy cow, I really thought that was Kael, enjoying a bit of humorous self mockery. It would be a lot cooler, if it was actually her.
thank you!
@@waynej2608 Karl was like most film critics, took herself way too seriously. So I doubt she would ever allow her self to be parodied.
I swear I recall Andrea Martin also once portraying Pauline Kael in a skit -- Parkinson's symptoms and all.
Ha, that's a pretty accurate impression of Pauline Kael.

Woody Tobias Jr. legendary actor, director and one handsome fellow to boot!
“And if you were in El Paso you’d still have your accent”...priceless!
STILL better than ANYTHING on TV today!!
Clearly one of the top ten skits of all time from sctv !!!!! Love it
*It was so VERY gracious of Pauline Kael to make an appearance on this show*
Wow! When I first saw her, I actually thought it was Pauline Karl. Incredible likeness
Kael's feet wouldn't have reached the floor in that chair.
parody of a parody, a satire of a satire, pure Canadian genius, far funnier than any similar product, even SNL
Being from Toronto, I watched SCTV religiously. I still find it hilarious.

There you are! The guy who comments with “SCTV is better than SNL”.
You'll never be able to watch Midnight Cowboy the same way without seeing Woody and Dr. Tongue in the main roles
Absolute genius on every level!
I cannot stop watching midnight cowboy 2 it just cracks me up every time I see it!! People have to see this!!????
God, I only saw this once or twice 30+ years ago yet a remember almost every line!
Now that I've seen Midnight Cowboy 3D, I gotta see the SCTV Midnight Express special.
Days of the Week fan, myself …
Toronto was always so thrilled when it could pass as New York. This whole sketch, or the two sketches, are great. 3D House of Pancakes 🥞. What i would give to go back there again.
I love Woody Tobias Junior, its easy to imitate his voice and get in his character which is a !oveable suave hunchback
But here playing midnite cowboy role
Awesome LOL SCTV was the best
Love John Candy as Joe Buck. Perfect.
I wonder if anyone's ever told Floyd that vampires don't howl; they hiss.
That is better than the original midnight cowboy.
too brilliant for...words
Great thing about making a show in Canada is they didnt have to pay royalties for the music they frequently used.
Enrico (RATZO): "I happen to be in the stud business myself.."
I would watch Count Floyd every saturday at midnight!!
This is very funny and intelligent and blew SNL out of the water even with Eddie Murphy.

@@anonfrank546 They took the Christmas with the Schmenges off?! Bastards!
Eddie Murphy's overrated.
different kinds of shows
No dislikes...as it should be!
"I'm all from EL Paso Texas y'all"
Without hesitation, my favorite.
I don't think I have ever seen this one before. SCTV was the best.
Was Count Floyd actually newsman Floyd Robertson doing a side-gig? I’ve always hoped so, makes the premise even funnier for me.
Yeah, it was indicated in another skit, lol.
Yes! Floyd did both gigs, which indeed does make it funnier!
Man, this show is hilarious!
yes it's the same Floyd
@D z Is that out here on youtube? I must see that!

The funniest bits on SCTV to me were Count Floyd and Ed Grimmly !! I wish that Count Floyd were an actual TV Show today.
John did you know many of us loved you? No, I'm not crying😢
"you carry yourself with diggity"
i still can't listen to no diggity by backstreet without thinking of this :)
Omggggg… John Candy and Eugene Levi!!!! I am dying here!!!!!😂😂😂😂
If you were in El Paso you'd still have your accent!
ass: And of course, "Y'all", short for "you all," is a plural, not a singular as he uses it in the skit.
Nothing recreates the New York City of 'Midnight Cowboy' like a Mr. Submarine in the background (4:45). 😁
Fantastic.
Midnight Cowbow 2 is probably the greatest remake in Hollywood history, only outdone by Bobby Bitman's On the Waterfront...Again!.
Pauline Kael was a fan, clearly.
Good ole Pauline Kael.
It is funny when they are in the TV interview and they start their bickering.

When I order a mixed drink (or make one myself) I often catch myself sotto voce saying "HOWDY YAWLLL, I'LL HAB A THEBBEN AND THEBBEN, YAWLLLL."
"Which one of YUNZ is Pauline Kael?"
Love the Pittsburgh accent from the Pittsburgh Midget!
"Which one of younz is Pauline Kael?" HAHAHA--the Pittsburgh Midget.

They’re walking down the street and it’s Yonge Street Toronto 😅 Mr Submarine!
Terrific
gold per the norm …
Does it get any better than this eh?!
YA ALL!!
I wish there was a commentary track on this.
"How-WOOO!.. That means 'Time's UP!'".. Joe Flaherty!.. Count Floyd!..
Greatest howling vampire ever.
AWOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!!!
I wonder what the real Pauline Kael thought of this?
"Buck's" Texas accent sounded a lot like a Schmenge Brother.
That Woody Tobias JR, was a brutally handsome dude.
Wolf calls were popular in the late seventies,early eighties,for some reason.
Classic skit midnight cowboy 2 ? Eugene levy is hysterical as ratso Rizzo and John candy as Joe buck !! Far superior to snl? I remember fighting to stay awake to watch sctv i believe it was on at 1:30 am? Well worth the wait ,I've been Bing watching for two weeks!!!
I still want to believe that that was Pauline Kael.
Route 28 through Sharpsburg during rush hour LOL
#PittsburghProblems
Let's Go Pens! 🏒🐧
Eugene Levy forever.
These guys are fucking genius.
Top 100 shows ... correction top 20
He's still great, though!
“Which one of you’ns is Pauline Kael?” 😆😆😆
Howdy y'all
So funny!
Who played Pauline Kael ?! i thought her character was really good. But i can't think of any of the regulars on sctv who would look like that by even a great special effects makeup artist . I would be very grateful for replies ! Please reply with some answers !
That's Mary Charlotte Wilcox. She played an array of characters on SCTV.
I think Dr Tongue sounds like comic book guy.
“Y’all!”
Dig-it-knee
Johnny Carson did a wicked William F. Buckley believe it or nuts. In one of those skits.
Joe Flaherty nailed William F. Buckley. I mean imitating him of course.
An' didja' catch, Doc Tongue's 'House of a Steaming Pile of Rutabagas' ...no?
Y'awl!
Digitnee
If only it HAD ended the 3D gimmick we wouldn't be paying $18
Improper use of "y'all."
Is there a proper use?
It's the perfect use of it.
It wouldn't be funny if he used it correctly. That is what humor is, you do it wrong, and everyone knows it's wrong.
William F Buckley was a CIA agent right up until his death, and prolly beyond, lol. True Story.
he looks a little like john candy. rip
Joe Flaherty's Count Floyd is a takeoff on director Paul Thomas Anderson's Father Ernie's Count Ghoulardie tv show.
Pauline Kael-Streep is right on top in that illicit relationship... not that there's anything oh so wrong with that
I like a lot of these SCTV episodes but this one seems very weak. Especially Candy.
It's brilliant in it's own way.
Ah, I think it's great. And I also like the original film, in a huge way. Wonderful parody.
Just thinking the same thing. One too many 3D episodes.
