I was in 8th grade when their movie came out. I loved it and bought the soundrack album (vinyl) - it had Rush on it, probably the most famous Candadian rock band.
@@allanbard6048 My younger brother had the soundtrack album. It’s still on my iPod! It gets a listen a couple of times a year. It’s old, but never grows old! Classic Canadian content, eh?
Letterman was one of the best comedic hosts with his humble wit. I stopped watching SNL and fell in love with SCTV, the cast was so talented! I laughed so hard when Dave and Rick came up with THE GREAT WHITE NORTH, what a great Canadian Treasure.
I still have the LP, "The Great White North". I was a student at Buffalo State College in the earl 1980's. I, my future husband, and all my friends at the college were all nuts about Bob and Doug McKenzie!
The best character that Dave Thomas did on his SCTV show was his impression of Bob Hope. He was fantastic and it's as funny as anything I've ever seen on SCTV. He didn't do it often, but when he did, he nailed it.
For a lot of Americans, Bob and Doug represented the first time they saw characters who were distinctively Canadian. Before that, all we knew were hockey players.
I am Canadian. I watched these skits when they came out. However, I have never met any Canadians who speak and act like these two. The most used word in the Canadian vocabulary is "Sorry", not "Eh?". The British say "Eh?" far more than Canadians do.
Ya know I’d forgotten that. My dad was from Minnesota and played hockey and competed in curling. He told me that told me that was a hockey word for loser! Because of having to scrape the ice. I miss my dad, thanks for the memory ☺️
I remember these guys from high school! I’m born and raised in North Vancouver, BC, Canada! Take off eh! Ya hoser! Kalooka kooka kooka koo! Kalooka kooka kooka koo! Our national anthem!
My sister and I LOVED watching SCTV as 80s kids! It’s such a shame younger folks might not get some of those impersonations of certian dated celibrities anymore. SCTV’s improvisational style with characters and impersonations was absolute comic genius!
I don't know how I missed this! I wish the SCTV youtube channel was as good as the Letterman channel. The clips are just too short, but I'm glad it exists!
A city of over a million people that still behaves like a small town. There's stuff happening now in the core that should have been happening 25 to 30 years ago.
There was a two minute gap between the Canadian and American versions of SCTV. For more commercials. The producers said "we need something to fill and it has to be Canadian content". Thus, Bob and Dong MacKenzie were born!
Can con is garbage. Talent no matter where it is flows to the top. I hate being force fed mediocre programming because of Cancon. Not to mention my tax dollars being spent on it.
@@Henry-W-Schlemmer Ok I've seen skits with candy and Martin short I'm 45 so my experience with Canadian tv was red green on PBS If ya can't be handsome be handy And have a roll of duct tape handy Also you can't do that on television which always made me think Nickelodeon was Canadian
Far superior to SNL, especially in those days and today is just an order of magnitude better. So much creativity and variety, from incredible talent, that is still hilarious 40+ years later.
that's an important point. Look at the careers of John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Joe Flaherty. Some have passed on, but the survivors are still in action today.
I used to live in Nanaimo, eh? It’s on Vancouver Island but ain’t on their map either eh? It’s the closest place in Canada to Hawaii which is only 3500 miles away. Almost walking distance if you can walk under water like a fish. I’m a product of the Canadian educational system.
For context this would have been two years prior to Ghostbusters and the Oiler's first Stanley Cup, so many Americans were not sure exactly what they meant by "Edmonton"
Very educational for the most part I know I used to cross at Seattle first stop everyone so friendly and not reserved but when I got home after a few months what a sigh of relief everyone minding their own business stop and catch something for dinner not much traffic imagine living beside the I95 for awhile would make one nuts.
It's interesting seeing him wear a sweater since none of his successors did that. I kinda like the casual for 12:30am, I admit. 4:17 Jokes about Canada. 5:48 Inferiority complex of Canadians.
I love when Geddy Lee guested on their song and he says, “Well ten bucks is ten bucks” lol
you forgot the eh lol

Strange Brew the song was written by Dave's brother
I still have that album! No turntable, but that album is priceless to me!
Triumph, and April Wine also
@@Momcat_maggiefelinefan Get yourself a cd of it, eh? That way, you can just put it on shuffle, or repeat.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a beer.
In a tree!
Just "beer." No article.
@@gabbleratchet1890 maybe there are different versions, but I hear "a beer" in the version I listened to.
Next year, get me a chainsaw.

It was no early snl . Period. But it had some good episodes
Then we came out with The Trailer Park Boys ..... and This Hour Has 22 Minutes .....
@@patpeterson2671 I have never seen the former, but the latter is very good.
Rick Moranis is not just a Canadian treasure but also a comedy nerd legend
They're not mutually exclusive. You could watch them both.
Rick's comments on Quebec vs the rest of Canada were spot on!!!
I'm from Buffalo and southern Ontario did watch our TV...
And we watched Toronto stations.
It was a cultural exchange. Lol
Still watching the the Strange Brew movie in 2022, classic.
I gotta take a leak so bad I can taste it,eh!!!
Drive in movie, huge screen, Strange Brew and friends in lawn chairs. Best times ever. Afterwards....we were all Canadian!
Let's go down to the Beer store and get a case of Elsinore beer, eh.
Classic, eh?!
Amazing how much was inspired by this. Fubar, letterkenny, hockey movies, trailer park boys
LOVE Letterkenny! These 2 guys are great too and I love the cartoon "Fugget about it"!
One of my favourite Bob & Doug skits of all time, especially the backbacon bit.
Take off, eh? I love Bob and Doug!!! I first heard it in 6th or 7th grade. Like the mid 80's.
One showing of Strange Brew at a drive in movie....we were all Canadian!
I still have the LP, "The Great White North". I was a student at Buffalo State College in the earl 1980's. I, my future husband, and all my friends at the college were all nuts about Bob and Doug McKenzie!
When I lived in Canada, I used to love these guys. It's been years. I moved back to the states for family but really miss Toronto.

He did a great Liberace too!
"My burps are giving me whiplash!" Loved you guys in Detroit and Kalamazoo.

@@stoverboo I am so "Sorry" to hear that, LOL! xD
Even the Terminator would never say "Eh?", haaaaaa! xD
Happy Holidays!
And Alan Thicke
Isn't Dudley Doo-Rite the Canadian prototype.
I bought their album back in '81. Never got tired of listening. Yeah, Letterman, Canada is full of hosers.
I was going to mention MY buying their ab, album while scrolling down here!!!!!
Me too. SCTV Canadian Geniuses.
I wrote a script with Dave Thomas in 2013. Amazing dude and exceptional writer. Still waiting for it to go to camera 😂😂😂
Rick Moranis was a comic genius the likes of we'll never see again. Before Wayne's World or Beavis n Butthead, there was Bob and Doug Mckenzie.
Is, he's still alive.
@@xHICKORYx No he passed away just a few years ago now. Ghostbusters is his masterpiece.
@@andrewbecker3700 No, he is alive.
@@xHICKORYx Harold Ramis is the guy I'm confused with.
@@andrewbecker3700 ah
Just classic!!!! The song with Getty Lee "The Great White North" is also amazing!
I wish Rick had more work, absolutely love him, and the only reason he doesn't is because he is a great person.
classic duo, I love these guys
I remember watching this movie for the first time at Thunderbird Lanes in Detroit.
Love these two, legends in their own time!!
I love this guys, Canada and its phenomenal culture! 🍁
80's gold!
A “Hoser” is the losing hockey team had to scrape the ice and hose it down..before the Zamboni came along.
Ya know I’d forgotten that. My dad was from Minnesota and played hockey and competed in curling. He told me that told me that was a hockey word for loser! Because of having to scrape the ice.
I miss my dad, thanks for the memory ☺️
Thanks for this. Always love the Mackenzie Bros
SCTV on acid... love it. Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis were hoser geniuses! Beloved for all time...
Great time to be alive!
How did we not end up with 4 or 10 McKenzie movies? Biggest crime of all time. At least we got Spaceballs.
You 2 are the best reps. for the great white north
"HEY THAT WAS NO GOAL EH! YOU WAS IN THE CREASE!"
Rick Moranis is such a chad for leaving acting to raise his kids.
I remember these guys from high school! I’m born and raised in North Vancouver, BC, Canada! Take off eh! Ya hoser! Kalooka kooka kooka koo! Kalooka kooka kooka koo! Our national anthem!

We loved Second City TV an the McKenzie Brothers were a hilarious segment.
I liked how in the Movie Brother Bear the two Moose which were voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas acted like Bob and Doug Mckenzie.
That was so fantastic!
@@kathyd456wow, so they are not really brothers in real life?
@@nancyhey1012 Hi, no, just co-stars on SCTV many, many years back. Lots of fun stuff on there.
I don't know how I missed this! I wish the SCTV youtube channel was as good as the Letterman channel. The clips are just too short, but I'm glad it exists!
I had a cable installer who was one of these guys. From Newfoundland. I love them, still funny after all these years. Eh?
Watching this 40+ years later in Edmonton hits different.
Yes, we do want to bad-mouth Edmonton, says a guy from Calgary. Nice last name, BTW.
Seen them filming an episode out in front of the ITV studios one day!
Condolences from the left coast.
A city of over a million people that still behaves like a small town. There's stuff happening now in the core that should have been happening 25 to 30 years ago.
I lived in Edmonton back when SCTV was taped at ITV/Allard Studios. Now I'm in Nanaimo, which also got a mention here. Cool beans.
Great interview!
I love these guys.
Great comedy duo
Before Wayne's World, there were the McKenzie Brothers, the Hosers. Take off to the great white north! Courtesy of Geddy Lee.
Mike Myers definetly was inspired by Bob and Doug
Blows my mind this aired the year I was born!
OMG-- love these guys.
"Hey! Hey over here! Over here for doughnuts!"
'I can't believe he drank it all!!'
This was created because Canada wanted more Canadian content? I love that. When I think of Canada I definitely think about these guys! 😂
CanCon is still a contentious issue for some.
There was a two minute gap between the Canadian and American versions of SCTV. For more commercials. The producers said "we need something to fill and it has to be Canadian content". Thus, Bob and Dong MacKenzie were born!
@@michaelrmurphy2734 yes, it was meant to be the two most exaggerated Canadian characters they could come up with.
Can con is garbage. Talent no matter where it is flows to the top. I hate being force fed mediocre programming because of Cancon. Not to mention my tax dollars being spent on it.
now those are some true hosers eh😂
I so miss Bob and Doug. RIP
I spent a year in Edmonton one week.
I spent a week in Edmonton on one Sunday afternoon. 🤣
Oh man how great! I had never seen this before!
I wish they'd get together and do a reunion skit or something....
We have the Great White North album with the 'You are the Guest' sleeve...
Same
Always loved these guys. I’ll be a hoser for them.
I miss the old letterman, he was the best, My uncle told me about these 2 hosiers, there hilarious.
My mom lived in near the Canadian border in maine everyone sounded like they were asking me a question
@@Henry-W-Schlemmer
Who?
And I mean that cause I don't know
Was she in strange brew that is the only thing I remember the Mackenzie brothers in
@@Henry-W-Schlemmer
Ok
I've seen skits with candy and Martin short
I'm 45 so my experience with Canadian tv was red green on PBS
If ya can't be handsome be handy
And have a roll of duct tape handy
Also you can't do that on television which always made me think Nickelodeon was Canadian
Oh the memories....
Some people think Minnesota is southern Canada. Oh Yah, you betcha!!
Uff dah!
...better translated: Baja Ontario...
Canada can have it.
♥️♥️♥️♥️ always loved watching strange Brew
Great routine!
If you dislike this video you are a hoser, eh!
"There are no diversions in Edmonton."
David reminds me of Sgt. Preston.
Far superior to SNL, especially in those days and today is just an order of magnitude better.
So much creativity and variety, from incredible talent, that is still hilarious 40+ years later.
that's an important point. Look at the careers of John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Joe Flaherty. Some have passed on, but the survivors are still in action today.
Ah no way
They missed the great lakes, PEI, Newfoundland, lol
Ahhhh, the good old dehs!
“The lower 48”🤣🤣🤣
Gordon Lightfoot sings every song ever written!
It would have been funny to have Dave be the guest on their little show in the first clip
Four pounds of back bacon
Three French toast
Two turtlenecks
And a beer in a tree!
So obviously, this is before Strange Brew?
"There’s no way I’m gonna crash this. This is a beer truck, eh?"
This is a 10 speed. That's just a 5 speed x 2
Strange Brew.....GREATEST Movie Ever !
You got to be kidding. A big disappointment
@@jerrywoods4066
Well, maybe it wasn't the GREATEST, but I enjoyed it. 🤣😂🤣😂
@@paulziegler737 👌
these guys should get together and make a podcast like this.
Heroes of Canada 🇨🇦 and drinking Molson Canadian

I can't believe that Dave is talking to Seymour Krelborn and the founder of Wendy's Hamburgers!
Legends
Saw them live.
I spent 6 weeks in airline training at Flight Safety in Downsview; It was a cultural change for this Flori-Duh boy, but I still liked the city.....
Dave Thomas did a pretty good impression of Liberace on SNL's Guy Talk.
His Bob Hope was great too.
My brother worked on Strange Brew. I just bought an Elsinore brewery T shirt. Classic.
Any stories?
He was more post production but we/he scored a bunch of stickers then.@@brendalg4
Sctv roster is legendary
We Floridians ♥ our Canucks
You do?! I'm stunned! (Cdn here)
If you think the “Rick” guy looks familiar… that is “Dark Helmet” from “Space Balls”.
Hilarious hosers!
Beauty segment eh!
I have an Elsinore Brewery t-shirt. I get comments from people all of the time.
I love it.
CanCon works !!
Red Green, Tragicially Hip anyone ?
Until just now watching the interview segment, I never realized that Bob was Rick Moranis. Do I feel like a hoser or what?
You should eh
Take off, eh?
