Uzbeks!
If you are a fan of perhaps the best comedy show on television, SCTV, you probably already have a smile on your face. Uzbeks were part of the hilarious SCTV universe from Canada that would be considered taboo today in our overly PC culture because they were parodied as being a drunken, shiftless people. Back when SCTV was broadcast during the years 1976 to 1984 the references to Uzbeks caused not a whiff of protest which says something about how times have changed.
David Menzies of Rebel Media in Canada explains why SCTV was so popular and, sadly, why many of today's SJW snowflakes would be incapable of tolerating it.

I liked Count Floyd’s monster chiller horror theater. There was one episode where he watched Dr. Tongues 3D house of stewardesses. I always get a laugh out of John Candy, and Eugene Levy.
Couldn’t make “Airplane!” today.
Also not History of the World, etc.
Couldn’t make a million of ‘em.
Collectivism is here, fun GONE.
I don’t know.
No Johnny Larue or Doctor Tongue or The Mayor.
Animal House, Porky’s and a whole host of great, raunchy comedies from the 70s and 80s.
And when the going got tough, Guy Caballero jumped up from his wheelchair and made a run for it. Remember the promo for Perry Como’s “Still Alive” show? He sang lying down, the microphone perched on a pillow near his head.
Ha! If they think SCTV is bad just try those old Dean Martin Roasts you can find on YouTube. Or Sanford and Son. Lol!
Far better than Saturday Night ever was.
Funniest comedy show on television with an excellent cast. All were great. From their outstanding impressions to their self created characters. I couldn’t choose one over the other, but as an ensemble, they were fantastic and surpass anything today.

Two words: “Blazing Saddles.”
>>“Ah, stewardess..? I speak jive..!”<<
If you have a VHS version go to the 2nd discussion when the guy is sick.
The last words Barbara Billingly says is “Nigga do wan’ no hep, Nigga don’ get no hep.”
In EVERY incarnation in the last 20+ years that has been edited to “Sucka” (or “Chump” - I can’t recall which).
