All of those people, on parade, and all of the people behind the scenes. Maybe one of them was fat! Look at them how skinny! Compared to today that would be mostly fat/obese people.
I was working with one of the early computer scanners back in the mid-late 80s and created "Official Canadian Beer Licenses" with Bob & Doug's image, pertinent info on the front and on the back stated that "The holder of this card is hereby decreed by Canadian Parliament to taste test the following malt beverages"... Once in the ADK's of NY, my friend got proofed. so he handed over the ID the clerk looked at it, read the back, looked at the 2-4's of Moly Canadians and proceeded to ring us up ;)
Back around 1985 I was working in a direct marketing firm. Basically we sent out junk mail and circulars and coupons and stuff by mail. I worked in the computer room, so I had to print up the labels for the mail. Usually the labels would say "RESIDENT" and have an address under it. We printed tens of thousands a day of these. To break things up one day, I substituted the word HOSEHEAD instead of resident. It was supposed to be for a test run but actually got sent out to over 10000 people!
Did I mention that my boss's boss was pissed! Actually the VP of the company. I can still remember himbringing n on the carpet saying "What were you thinking?', "What the hell is Hosehead?", Do you want to lose your job?
Funny thing was, back then at $5.50 an hour, NIGHT SHIFT, I don't think they could have done much about me!
God Bles Bob & Doug McKenzie and the memories they have made!
lol It has been so long since I have watched Bob & Doug! btw - does anyone remember the CBC reporter's anme? She is so familiar and I remember watching her but can't remember her name...it will be one of those things that bugs you eh?!
The heyday of Bob and Doug were good times. Up until the 1980s, my American fishing buddies knew so little about Canada compared to how much I knew about the US. When Bob and Doug came along and for that matter SCTV, the US media started to take some interest in their friendly neighbor to the north. Bob and Doug opened a long forgotten door where our two countries shared a lot common ground.
This is Hilarious, what some people don't realize is it takes talent & experience to come up with the Improvised Material not just anyone can do it , didn't you guys hear when she said Dave Thomas has a Master's Degree in English Literature & Radio Experience & Rick Moranis has Radio & TV Experience so to pull off the Material on the fly is quite exceptional!!!!
We normally don't show our butts because it's too cold, eh? You know, like, we've learned that if you cover your butt, you won't freeze your ass off. And without an ass it's hard to sit down long enough to fry up some back bacon, eh.
I live right below Vancouver island and grew up watching Canadian tv. oh the sweet memories! I love Canada and Canadians but you're so right about the journalism. I don't think it's much different today either.
These guys rock. I'm one of the few of my generation who appreciates the humour. For some reason, every other teenager I've met thinks they make us look like idiots and hate them. They're hilarious.
Tell your friends thats the point. They created the characters in response to the CBC's request for more "identifiably Canadian content" so they created this guys to spoof the stereotypes, including the less educated, working class idea.
Of course Bob and Doug are ridiculous! But it's all in fun! Make no mistake about it, Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas are not idiots! They got a positive response from their McKenzie Brothers skits on SCTV and they ran with it! They make many people laugh. Those of you Canadians who feel offended, perhaps the McKenzie Brothers are hitting too close to home! Relax, the rest of the world still loves ya! Goo~Loo koo koo koo koo koo koo
ok... that weird noise they make, just makes us look dumb. So uncool. I'm embarrassed to own up to those guys. They can be so much more funnier than that.
Hey Hob nobber..who cares eh, like what the Americans think eh, cause we have toques, and they have no idea what that is eh..and we have the space arm eh!! and they have a beauty time with that arm up there eh! you hoser!!!
I loved watching SCTV, but hated these stupid "hoser" sketches. I thought it made Canadians look like total dimwits. People in the U.S probably thought we were actually like this. LOL
Loved SCTV the show though! Some memorable skits with John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Rick Moranis etc etc.
Yeh... I think they do believe we are like this. That we have no class and no manners. We are dimwits and back-woods, uneducated hermits in snow all year-round. But thats b/c they never learn anything about Canada and rarely travel. lol
Are you saying you agree we are all of that? Or are you in a round-about way letting us all know you don't travel much and get to know the world outside of the U.S border? Both? lol...
