I sure do miss his humour. RIP Johnny  La Rue.

[TheDrLighthouse]

This is the best comedy skit ever. Nobody has topped this in 35 years.

[STEVEMOR909]

Poor John, I have a feeling all that eating, cigarettes, and perhaps alcohol was really his undoing!

[FloydRobertson]

Did he just take the finished product out of 500 degree oven with no mitts on?

[Prorokini1]

@ChimeraHunter3025 I didn't notice that. But I did notice that the finished product looks a lot less messy than the one we saw him preparing. Just like in real cooking shows.

[ChimeraHunter3025]

I love how the finished one looks like the cat logo from his cat food.

[Prorokini1]

I wonder if they used actual cat food for the skit. I'm a cat person, but the canned stuff is yucky. And fairly expensive, too. Spam is cheaper…and probably processed in the same plant.

@GothChilde6969 Beauty, eh? Well explained. And nobody said it better than Geddy Lee, eh?

[RMeingast]

Funny... Some might say in poor taste in 2011, but it's comedy... Not meant to be taken as an insult to the poor...

Classic comedy... RIP John Candy...

[RyanLies]

Theres a Charlie Sheen version too xDD

[TheDrLighthouse]

I hadn't seen this since I was 14. Best skit ever. Changed my overall outlook on life as a teen.

[donatospoony]

Classic

[siulungkevin]

@GothChilde6969 "Rick Moranis NEVER said 'hose off", he said 'take off' ": you have a point that Levy & Moranis did indeed say 'take off', but it's debatable that they never said 'hose off'. Whatever... I'd love to be able to see those classic pre-NBC SCTV episodes again in order to find out but I now live in Hong Kong so I can't access the Comedy Network here or other Canadian channels where they're regularly shown. Nor have they been released yet on DVD (unlike the NBC-era episodes)...

[siulungkevin]

@GothChilde6969 "CRTC policies were MORE lenient back in the 70s and 80s than they were today": yr ignorance is pathetic... in an interview on the Shout Factory SCTV DVDs, the cast makes clear that the Great White North sketch was spawned by Levy & Moranis in order to satisfy CRTC regulations back then that required a certain % of every episode to be "inherently Canadian" in nature. That requirement no longer exists today so the 'bunch of happy crappy' is all yr own dude. Now go grow a brain-eh?

[GothChilde6969]

@siulungkevin OH and by the way, Rick Morranis NEVER said "hose off" you mean "take off" as in "why don't you go take off eh?" or the simpler version "take off eh?"

[GothChilde6969]

@GothChilde6969 *are* today.

[GothChilde6969]

@siulungkevin Actually, Hose Off means "go get drunk" but is used in the same context as "Shove off" or "fuck off" yet meaning a different thing entirely.

I was wrong, I am sorry.

I'll go get hosed, but only so long as you remain the hoser.

AND by the way, Canadian Television bureau policies were MORE lenient back in the 70s and 80s than they were TODAY. so all that happy crappy is just a bunch of happy crappy.

[siulungkevin]

@GothChilde6969 >"You call someone a hoser, you don't tell them to hose off. it means they are too drunk": 'hose off' has nothing to do with someone being drunk u twat. Levy/Moranis used it as a euphemism on the Great White North for "fuck off" which back in the 70s and 80s would never be allowed on the networks. It was also was used to emphasize (sarcastically) the "Canadianess" of the GWN in order to satisfy the silly Canadian content requirement of the CRTC. Now go learn about SCTV, eh? :>

[Jamiesyme999]

@Jamiesyme999 **of his** LOL

[Jamiesyme999]

John candy was ahead time

[mrhand18]

i loved this guy he was my favorite comedian.

[GothChilde6969]

@siulungkevin You call someone a hoser, you don't tell them to hose off. it means they are too drunk. which I am not. go learn yer canadian slang, eh?

[siulungkevin]

@GothChilde6969 >you don't know much about Canadian comedy television shows, then: only the few worth watching dude... which, btw, does include your aforementioned Kids in the Hall... and yes, they were certainly unfettered by PC, and yes, their show ran into the early 90s so, yes, congratulations, you have a point that "non-PC material" was being put out on Canadian TV into the Nineties as well. Now hose off, eh? :>

[GothChilde6969]

@siulungkevin you don't know much about Canadian comedy television shows, then.

Go look up kids in the hall, Red Green Show, Hot Box and The Owl And The Man and you'll see what I'm talking about, eh?

[Herbuliss]

Me To....He was a Gift... H.

[Mp3TagExpress]

Freakin' halarious! Damn... why can't other comedians (in all their seriousness) do what this man accomplished?
