SNL skit suggestion: the Mackenzie Brothers reunite for a discussion about Sarah, hockey, and Phila

[Bozita]

The idea came to me after watching the Flyers/Rangers pre-game show live.

1. Good one

[Captiosus]

2. Pssst...

That was SCTV, not SNL.

My god does that ever make me feel like an old fart. :(

[Faygo Kid]

7. You're not an old fart. But so what if it was SCTV, it's perfect for SNL.

We need more Canadian humor.

[Bozita]

10. More Canadian beer too, eh.

[rurallib]

11. some canadian health care system.

[Faygo Kid]

12. You betcha

[Bozita]

16. The Brewers Retail shops in Ont. are destinations unto themselves.

Viva la selection!

It reminds me of the twelfth floor of J. L. Hudsons at Christmas time.

[Faygo Kid]

21. Or the Ford Rotunda. That was Christmas.

[Forkboy]

15. Keep your stick on the ice.

22. Isn't "keep your stick on the ice" from the Red Green show on PBS???

Very funny show.

[Forkboy]

24. Yep, it is.

And yep, the show is very funny. :)

[eShirl]

8. guest hosts?

[Berry Cool]

9. Actually, they were guest hosts once, at the height of their popularity.

Maybe they could bring 'em back. I suspect they'd enjoy that.

[Faygo Kid]

3. I love it!! That would kill me with hilarity.

Highly recommended.

Eh?

[skooooo]

4. SNL is a rerun tonight, isn't it??

That's what it says on my tv schedule -- anyone know differently?

[DesertRat]

17. Yes, rerun tonight. nt

[AzNick]

5. How about a slap shot homage to Paul Newman?

With Todd Palin as the Goalie and Paul Newman turning skating around the cage calling Sarah a lesbian.

"I know! I know! Because I slept with her!"

[Bluebear]

6. Take off, Sarah, ya Hoser.

13. I Drank a 6 Pack With The Mackenzie Brothers in the 80s

In Seattle at a couple of radio station proms they were at.

.....and up until I saw Honey I Shrunk The Kids I did not realize I was drinking with Rick Moranis....

[Bozita]

18. More, please.

[hfojvt]

14. that skit would totally hose

[sarcasmo]

19. Bob and Doug that would be great.

Koooooukooooookooo, or something like that.

[Bozita]

20. For those unfamiliar with the Mackenzie Bros, here's a CBC News story on 'em, eh!

The anchor is Barbara Frum, mother of David.

[Orsino]

23. "'Cause the earth is only, like, six thousand years old."

"Aw, take off, man; stop lyin'."

[ThoughtCriminal]

25. I would like to see the Mooses (Meese?)

from "Brother Bear" comment on Sarah.

[SidDithers]

26. That skit started because of show-length differences...

between the US and Canadian broadcasts of SCTV. The Canadian broadcasts weren't allowed as much commercial time as the American broadcasts, so additional material was needed to fill the extra time, to be broadcast in Canada only. Moranis and Thomas came up with skit that played on all the Canadian stereotypes they could think of. They used to film it after hours, usually after a few wobbly pops, and basically made it all up as they went. It was only later, once the appeal of the characters became obvious, that they were added to the "main" part of the show, and put on the air for US audiences too.

SCTV was the shit :)
