Compromise, consensus, macbethpkyiv. Everyone walks away from the table a little unhappy. It isn't quite what anyone wanted unless someone is holding out. Democracy?
Dad worked at ITV in the audio dept for SCTV. Said this was the funniest skit he saw. It didn't make it to the 90min NBC version but may have been on the Canadian or Europe version.
Lol dude maybe not their funniest but the concept is hysterical. What if England had sent bees over with their troops during the Revolutionary war? We'd be serving the queen now lol.
Actually, my comment was meant as a compliment. "Silly" when it's done as ascerbic dry/ironic humour, is a joy to behold, imo. It's the dry delivery of hyperbole & ridiculousness that makes me laugh. Many python skits, & the skit above, hit that note in spades for me. Anyway, cheers.
I understand its proper meaning, but I am not refering to that, I am using it as a more commen use. I can understand it being offensive if said to someone with a real dissability but I am not. If you are truly offended over a term more commonly used for "stupid" these days then I am sorry.
My GOD! I just realized that this old piece is merely a statement on America's political system! The Republican Vikings and the Democrat Beekeepers! We have been sailing east by day and west by night since our inception!
I have always heard "Vikings & Beekeepers" in Ride of the Valkyries. Now I remember why! Thanks SCTV.
Everytime I hear Ride of the Valkyries I always find myself singing "Vikings and beekeepers, Vikings and beekeepers.....etc."
Hilarious skit. Huge SCTV fan for 49 yes and can't believe this is my first time ever seeing this!
Reading the SCTV book this sketch was a logistical nightmare and they all hated doing it!
This is much more Monty Python than the regular SCTV. Very different. They must have been experimenting.
I sang "Vikings and Beekeepers" for years after I saw this!
I saw this on TV I guess 40 years ago (or a little less) - it was funny then and it's STILL funny. Awesome it is on UA-cam.
The nonstop changes in direction of dialogue was insane! Ha! Ha!
"They don't bite! They sting!!!" lost it. XD
This almost looks like a Monty Python skit (vikings and spam, vikings and beekeepers!).
Oh yes, no doubt... 😁😁😁👍👍👍
SCTV,still funny after all these years...
What do we know of these strange men and their bees?
"The Goddess of Compromise" well, that's relevant right this minute. I'll never hear Wagner without "Vikings and Beekeepers."

The cast said this skit was the most brutal of them all.
John Candy hired a bartender during this shoot, most of the cast were drunk by the time they did the final takes.
LOL
Amazing !!!!
My favourite SCTV skit

That's so bad it's funny.
It wouldn't make any difference, we had bees, too.
I can’t watch a Vikings game without saying Vikings and Beekeepers! 😂
Is it true that the boat was/is used as a parade float in Red Deer?
For about forty years now, whenever I hear Wagner's Valkyries, I sing Vikings and Beekeepers.
Captain, we need more lyrics!
One of the casualties of the syndication stripping.
Part of John Candy's mustache is missing or crawling up his cheek.
"And toss their pillowy torsos into the sea."
Brunhilda is stacked!
VIKINGS AND BEEKEEPERS !!!! ~~ VIKINGS AND BEES !!!! 😄
"THEY DON'T BITE, THEY STING!"
Genius!
Couldn't they face front of boat East at night and keep rowing West? Then switch back in morning?
THEY DON'T BITE, THEY STING!!!
THEN WE HAVE STINGERS TOO!!
Jovial clean singing spirits.
SCTV was better when it did SCTV instead of Monty Python, but I still like it. This one has the mark of Dave Thomas's writing pen on it.
It was written by Brian McConicie, not Dave
"Dat's why he's de kapten, heh heh - urrk!"
Python-esque

Hit that note in spades. A new mixed metaphor for my files!
+marz3335 while you fucking idiot
@@BrianSmith-ix3ns Why should while replace why?
Vikings and beekeepers...Vikings and beekeepers....washing their faces ....eating their lunch.
Is that Bill Pullman as the Captain? That's not Dave Thomas right?
What's Bill Pullman doing w/ SCTV?
LMAO...This is awesome
Classic one, look up grapes of mud
I wish I could find it but wasn't there a skit where martin short turned into bon jovi
"The Nutty Lab Assistant" He turns into John Cougar Melllencamp.
They couldn't fins or create a second verse.
NOT THE BEES!!
this could have worked, bringing over bees, but it's doubtful.
Killer bees have ravaged South America since being hybridised from honeybees and African bees.
@nhernandezsr - I remember it too!! LOL and for some reason I always thought it was Monty Python!
One person doesn't like vikings, bees OR bathing...
Is that Lloyd Robertson from "The National" doing the intro?
I usually like these sketches. This is dull.

Hilarious.
LOL
No.
In an hour FOOL LOL.
Well... this is quite silly.
Not as silly as self defense from fruit. Not quite as good, either.
This is like a Monty Python skit.
@teenprepper96 it's a differant style of comedy, kind of monty python like :/
Sunday school progran!
i assume you are the one dislike then, hmm?
no acctually I didnt, But I still think its stupid!
Check out the new videos?
The new videos suck! so you diminish a truly funny vid with your promo.
Meh. Not their best.
You've got to be kidding. Name a better sketch.
This made me laugh tears. Hecka good enough.
Gotta agree, this is just rather dumb.
My GOD! I just realized that this old piece is merely a statement on America's political system! The Republican Vikings and the Democrat Beekeepers! We have been sailing east by day and west by night since our inception!
This being Canadian though, actually more like the Conservatives versus the Liberals.
Bath, sing and have lunch. Ya, sounds like a female solution.
almost as weak as the fucking killer bee shit skits...and I love both SCTV and SNL equally...buy I did list the Canucks first
