SCTV Reunion for Show that Would Now Face PC Problems

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.

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.

I’ve just spent the last hour and a half watching SCTV clips on Youtube. Even at its best, SNL can’t hold a candle to SCTV.

I liked Tex and Edna Boil’s commercials for their various stores.

No Johnny Larue or Doctor Tongue or The Mayor.

It will just be the "4 Neat Guys"

“The Queen Haters lol”

Best song ever:) John Candy’s deadpan expression while playing the drums is priceless.

>>It was “Chump don’ want no hep...” Sheet. (Golly)<<

Thanks

But I specifically remember the original was “Nigga.” That was what made it so funny.

Funniest thing I ever saw on television: Mel's Rockpile, featuring Richard Harris singing "Macarthur's Park" (Dave Thomas, Eugene Levy).....I still laugh myself to tears every time I see that skit.

21st century fashion has left "Harry, The Guy with the Snake on His Face" far behind.

Too bad John Candy died. He could have latched on to the whole "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" movies with his own series.
