@2Beers4Rico Cheers, 2 Beers Rico. I'll buy ye a beer, and then you will be 3BeersRico LOL. Is Canada still "open" BTW. I thought it was closed now!

Does not make a blind bit of difference, but try tellig HER that. We all got to be nice to her. She's filthy rich ( filthy in general, ma man!!!),Talk aboot "Tenna Lady!" OK, Granny, ah'm comin'..?
Awesome Upload, Dude! Thanks! Ever since I've downloaded this video (using an app that I love: Applian Technology's Replay Media Catcher), I have watched it over and over also. I don't watch it when I'm drunk. Instead, I watch it while I'm high! That is when, as the lead singer says, I can afford me bloody dope! With all of the great music that SCTV turned-out, I can't believe they never produced and sold a music video collection! This song is better than "God Save The Queen" by the Sex Pistols!

Hey this is kinda ripped off. I played guitar Toronto in a punk band called Sick Friends and we played a song way too similar. "I hate the bloody Queen, her family are inbred fools. I hate the bloody Queen, I'd like to kick her in the jewels" and the riff is similar, not as fast, punchy and raw non electronic sounding.. but similar.
@videoizer That's pretty cool, actually! I assume your band was around circa 1982-83? If that's the case, there's a good chance someone connected to SCTV saw you guys and got the idea. Hey, the highest form of praise is imitation! Cheers.
i have an Eat The Rich tee shirt! and i remember this skit...made me laugh like crazy...and poor princess diana.. - its a shame that the sctv cast never remained this edgy in the rest of their careers. RIP John Candy!
Good message, even it was meant to be comical?...the degenerate queen is still alive. I wonder of it is really her? Life extension technology or clone? Who knows if that is the real murdering degenrate that you barely see around these days.
The funny thing is that the music could be passed off as a legit late '70s-early '80s punk single and people who hadn't seen it on SCTV might not realise it was a joke.
Thanks for posting. Martin Short is brilliant!!! This sketch its the funniest god damn thing!!!! I remember all the kids getting into a fight at the end.
people always reference SNL and Monty Python - other than the fact SNL was live and milked the same joke over and over, SCTV via their 'television station vehicle' found a way to tie all the skits in together - while Python had to employ Gilliam and his animation to make the transitions (not to detract at all from the brilliance of Python and Gilliam either - he is one of my fave all time directors)...
so essentially SCTV was something all it's own. The three aren't even really comparable.
OMG spot on...SO spot on...SCTV=prescient geniuses and brilliant satirists, and masters of parody...
Martin Short's character looks like Steve Coogan's effeminate punk rock "bum boy" from Saxondale...lol.
and John Candy's drummer look was just too accurate - i'd like to know if there was a specific band they were parodying, as I know they all had broad taste in music generally and were all pretty with it, so to speak.
And this was why SCTV was awesome! A handful of brilliant Canadians created an entire world that was just this side of believable. We will not see its like again.
I love this because it shows how well the show worked. Candy just kills by doing nothing at all, Short's screaming his head off and doing a good job of it, and everybody else is just meshed into there and it just works. It's just utterly beautiful. God, I miss SCTV.
On this episode, I think Mel gave a prize for the best dancers, which turned out to be an autographed photo (John Candy) from "Pre-Teen World Magazine.".
I agree with Don. This was the most HILARIOUS spoof on punk ever, and timely, as it mentioned the Falkland Islands war ( a nothing war made to order to have Britain look tough, just like our Grenada war, at the time.
More real and a better tune than so much out there! It's raw, beautifully offensive (to the Queen), and just some honest rockin' riffs. I cannot get enough of this for some reason. :>)
All amazing comics/actors and this is proof. Oh yeah, and Martin's screaming voice is great!
Inspiration for any person with performance in their DNA.
Thanks for your interesting comment. I agree with you about the rawness and offensiveness. I can not get enough of it either. The timeliness of it is critical. England had declared war on Argentina. If someone pulled tghis off today they would be interrogated for possible terrorist agitation. I feel that SCTV took things to the very edge with this spoof.
This is beyond funny, one of the best SCTV sketches! Martin Short is perfect in this,I love the shot of Mel being the only one getting into it 'Weren't they great?'. Too funny!
Is that really John Candy on the drums? This is superb, totally in agreement that this even for a parody has more depth and passion than junk like Green Day or MCR!
@guyfromnewcastle glad we sent this to ya..found a new comedy group this weekend come by my house (channel) and check it out. it's just starting up but I see promise in it with the right input..
@HuntersMoon73 - Actually, I can't think of a single member who wasn't excellent. Martin Short used to be the big draw for me in the day, but they're all just too good.
@rachel112263 Yes, not surprised to see Lawrence at a teenage dance show....he's still having some degree of difficulty getting his high school diploma :>)
I wonder, did they know this was the last episode for NBC? Could explain the anger but this has to be my favorite bit ever! Martin Short is amazing and John Candy!!!!! I feel sorry for you Lady Di having a mother-in-law like that.
I agree with the comment about SCTV being so much funnier than SNL. SNL was funny for one year (the first year), then it degenerated into an elitist leftist punkass political whoremongering humorless circle jerk of self indulgent overly repetitive vomit fest. SCTV on the other hand stayed true to basic innovative comedy that everyone could enjoy without being insulted. Martin Short, John Candy, et al rule!
Not sure why I said that. Sex pistols it was. And surely no need for the aggression, sir. But then perhaps you can't help it? Your parents must have been incapable of raising decent children. Mommy and Daddy did a bad job bringing up baby, it seems. Ah, well, don't fret, kid, it happens. Social skills can be learned after all.
In High school in the mid 90s I was in the strings doing a concert. So we had to wait in the music room waiting to be on. I got so bored I wrote out the lyrics on the Blackboard of this song. My Teacher looked at me funny ROFL Good times!
Martin Short and John Candy absolutely stole the show with The Queen Haters! Short's craziness and his punk voice and Candy's non-expressions give the segment two very humourous directions. Also, Andrea Martin does a pretty good version of Joan Jett with her choruses and facial expressions. SCTV makes SNL look pale in compairison when it comes to great humor!
I know John Candy has sadly passed away, it would a be a great tour in theory of THE QUEEN HATERS & SPINAL TAP, with THE QUEEN HATERS just thrashing all their stuff.
I remember watching this with my g/f and laughing our asses off when it was first on, we made our own song entitled "skeleton hand caressing your face" afterward, man it was like yesterday! lol! good times and thanks for posting it, I was 16 again for just a moment.
This is one of the funniest things I have EVER seen!!! Been a fan since of SCTV sice '82 and this is the first time I've seen this one! FUNNIEST SWHOW EVER!!! Brilliant beyond words!!!

I agree with the comment about SCTV being so much funnier than SNL. SNL was funny for one year (the first year), then it degenerated into an elitist leftist punkass political whoremongering humorless circle jerk of self indulgent overly repetitive vomit fest. SCTV on the other hand stayed true to basic innovative comedy that everyone could enjoy without being insulted. Martin Short, John Candy, et al rule!

This looks like a take off of "God save the queen" by the clash. :D I like this one even better.

Not sure why I said that. Sex pistols it was. And surely no need for the aggression, sir. But then perhaps you can't help it? Your parents must have been incapable of raising decent children. Mommy and Daddy did a bad job bringing up baby, it seems. Ah, well, don't fret, kid, it happens. Social skills can be learned after all.

Even throughout my questionable upbringing, I knew that the Clash didn't write "God Save the Queen".

In High school in the mid 90s I was in the strings doing a concert. So we had to wait in the music room waiting to be on. I got so bored I wrote out the lyrics on the Blackboard of this song. My Teacher looked at me funny ROFL Good times!

Martin Short and John Candy absolutely stole the show with The Queen Haters! Short's craziness and his punk voice and Candy's non-expressions give the segment two very humourous directions. Also, Andrea Martin does a pretty good version of Joan Jett with her choruses and facial expressions. SCTV makes SNL look pale in compairison when it comes to great humor!

I know John Candy has sadly passed away, it would a be a great tour in theory of THE QUEEN HATERS & SPINAL TAP, with THE QUEEN HATERS just thrashing all their stuff.
