Who Else Loves Bobby Bitman and Sammy Maudlin? And Skip.
This might be my favorite SCTV sketch of all time. Except Sammy Maudlin didn't do his classic laugh in this one where bangs his hands in between his thighs.
I used to stay up late on Saturday nights to catch SCTV because it was on later than SNL..Johnny LaRue with his crane shots, Dr Tongue, Count Floyd, Edith Prickly, The McKenzie Bros,Guy Caballero...when they spoofed the Godfather and had Mr Ed's head in the bed with the real guy from the Godfather screaming as Mr Ed told him Johnny Pavoratti better get that part is one of my all time almost died laughing moments..I got all the youngsters in my family to watch all of them and they love them too...brilliant comedy.
I miss John Candy too. There will never be another.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite SCTV episode is when they were taken over by the Russian television station, CCCP1.
ReplyDeleteThat and any episode with The Tubes as musical guest.
Man, SCTV ruled.
ReplyDeleteEarl - I read that the Tubes were totally unknown before appearing on SCTV
ReplyDeleteGene Levy looks like an extra from Scarface, haha.
ReplyDeleteLets not forget Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas as the Mackenzie Brothers eh.
