SCTV Great White North & Babe Ruth Story

2 Classic SCTV skits from Series 4, Cycle 1, Episode #81. Aired on May 29, 1981. "Southside Fracas with Southside Johnny"

"Kanadian Korner 10: Making Doug Go (R3)" Doug is asleep so Bob tries to make him go.

Bob McKenzie - Rick Moranis; Doug McKenzie - Dave Thomas

"13 Promo: The Babe Ruth Story (R1)": The uplifting saga of one of baseball's immortal heroes, wherein Babe promises to hit a few homers for a sick kid. (Note: new voiceover and bumper for Series 4). Note: I believe this is just a "bumper" from a full sketch that aired in Season 1 (1977).

Classic! xD Why can't new comedians take after these legendary people?

[PandaMishima]

I never get tired of that sick kid Babe Ruth is trying to cheer up, and how the kid keeps increasing his demands.The hot dog bit is the topper, that's one sick little boy!

Holy Shit. It's John Candy!

I love how pissed he looks at the dad for having the hotdogs right there.

@klrietmann Seinfeld has a somewhat similar bit.

I love this skit but Babe Ruth wore 3.

[klrietmann]

Seinfeld didn't have a similar bit far as I remember, but the Kids in the Hall had a great sketch with Joe the baseball champ hitting a home run for a Dying Kid. Look up Kids in the Hall Censored Sketches.
