Nowadays, mocking Uzbeks would be considered a hate crime. Hopefully the many SCTV clips on YouTube will never be taken down.

SCTV is one of the most quotable shows ever.

A friend and I can almost have a conversation in shorthand courtesy of various characters and sketches.

“Hey, Gyorgy!”

“I’m on break.”

They weren’t really making fun of Uzbeks. They were making fun of the Russians.

The end of SCTV basically ended comedy in Canada. Since then we got a bunch of gay comedy like Kids in the Hall.

There is zero chance that any new SCTV will ever, ever be as talented, funny, innovative as the original crew. Why?

Because, regarding the incredible talent, some are gone and some have become unfunny in their elder years.

I will treat the SCTV years with the knowledge that it was a magnificent experiment.

IMHO

Lin Ye Tang! Couldn’t do that one today!

Know a friend who actually knows Dave, his Bob Hope was uncanny!

Funniest show ever (once I got it).

The Fishin’ Musician
Bob and Doug McKenzie

Dang, that was funny, highly entertaining stuff.

It would last a nanosecond in 2018.
