I only really came to appreciate his talent watching SCTV here on RUclips. If you haven't seen it, Death of a Salesman with Levy as Ricardo Montalban playing Willie Loman is hilarious.
*SCTV built and maintained a universe that was in fact more real than the world it portrayed.* Every time the SCTV theme started up I felt "That is THE place to be, I'd like to move there, it's my kind of world." NOTHING then and now could touch it. It's still amazing.
Wrong! Same funny. It's so obvious when someone hates on SNL that they are likely a butthurt conservative. Do you have a picture of Tim Pool in your wallet for those private times?
SCTV is what use to make TV great! Todays crap doesn't even compare to the talent on this show then! RIP big John Candy! You made me proud to be a Canadian
Catherine O'Hara has always been beautiful and hilarious! Didn't grow up watching SCTV, but it's great to watch these old episodes! Thank you for posting these!
True story: just showed the “Gypsies ptoo” sketch to a Romanian coworker thinking she might get the joke. Did she ever! and has been imitating John Candy the rest of the day every time I look at her! “Gypsies, ptoo!” And laughing and laughing! SCTV really tapped into something there!
Hilarious to see this vasectomy sketch, written and performed so long ago. The nurses chortling, the men comforting each other. Happy that SCTV is being kept alive here. Thanks!
I had a vasectomy a few months ago and riffed on this scene in the office after it was done. No one got it except one guy in his 50’s. We had a good laugh. The ironic part, for me anyhow is that the office was in Don Mills(Toronto) but also the name Eugene Levy used in that western parody they did on SCTV(Six Gun Justice.) Anyhow, in my head, it was hilarious.
one of these episodes turned me into a newt & I didn't get better, but I was always ashamed to be a part of the human whoopsiedaisymushroomcloudealybopaloserspecies
back when i was about 16 in 88 me and my best friend were super heavy metal, we had long hair and the jean vest with all the band patches and all that stuff. i use to wear this cross on a chain ear ring that hung down to my shoulder and me and our little circle wore a lot of bracelets which wasnt the norm in that scene. anyway one day my friend took me with him when he was visiting some grandmother a few cities away, she was this stern old lady from some other country "no idea where" but the second she saw us she gave us the most indignant glance and said we looked like Gypsies. we thought it was hilarious and took it as the best compliment we ever got, we joked about it for months.
@@sralyn LOL, i was in my awkward teenage stage at that time, i was 6'5" and thin as a rail. but in my twenties i was going out clubbing looking like a rock star. now im just some exhausted 50 year dude that hates looking in the mirror.
To me, Catherine O'Hara's masterpiece. I've waited for this segment for years in my patience. In my music history latin chants, only Catherine could master the gregorian chants and bring them to modern acceptance, even though those who stubbed their toes could not refrain from cussing out loud and violate their vow.
"He's gonna be another Pat Bouttete..not quite as good as him...but.." LOL. Brilliant improv line by Joe, and you can see John almost losing it, which is why they cutaway to Catherine. (FYI, Bouttete was a second or third-stringer on the Leafs at that time). Withooot a dooot, THE greatest sketch comedy show ever...eh?
I laughed harder, and more often, at this one 30 minute video than I have in 5 years of sitting through SNL. I really wish Joe Flaherty had as big as his co-stars.
As a Romany Gypsy, I found this hilarious. I don't know why they picked us. The story about God baking people in an oven is actually real but not an actual belief. Just a Santa Claus story to reassure brown kids. Also a Canadian, I once sat directly behind Katherine O'Hara at a Bob Marley concert.
I bet they had a hard time not laughing at Eugene Levy's "poet" character, because i was apoplectic. Joe Flaherty was likely the inspiration for Mike Myers character in So i married an Axe Murder. Which was awesome too!
I'm so glad to find this little trove of episodes, because it's been incredibly difficult to find anything other than the NBC edition of the show in the US, but from about '88-93 or so, I watched the Nick at Nite edition of the show, and haven't been able to find that anywhere. It seemed to be a half-hour version of all the previous shows including the NBC stuff.
@@pusher1012000 I realize that quite well. What's your point? Mine is that the good old days survived into the later 1990s at least, even though cell phones and the internet existed. (Consider also that "[I]n 1995, the Internet had a worldwide user base of less than 40 million." -The Rather Petite Internet of 1995, Pingdom.)
Catherine O’Hara played Bam Bam on Curb your Enthusiasm, Funkhouser’s wacky sister, that Jeff beds while Larry raids Marty’s fridge. One of the best episodes.
Sure you can. It's just in a somewhat different forum. From South Park to Dave Chappelle to Curb Your Enthusiasm etc etc. It's out there. Mind you nothing was as funny as SCTV
I hope the success of schitts Creek, revives sctv to show Eugene Levy,s hilarious sketches and other on that show. Way better then SNL, too political now getting stale, get back to real comedy. Eugen does hilarious take on the original movie ocean,s eleven. His Bobb Bitan, world,s worst comedian, Did Dither s and more, oh, and take off on jeopardy, or reach for the top, as As Alex Trebek, a take off on Trebek. Re Remember this show on in mid seventies. Oh, ii m sure Trebek would have laughed at Eugene losing patience. First season was best on SCTV. It started in Edmonton then went to Toronto. A gem find on RUclips, all characters were great.

Forty years later SCTV is still hysterical!
I’VE HEARD OF SOME OF THESE PEOPLE!
Levy’s eye brows are insanely funny! They have a life of their own!😂
Yup. No one working today can come even close to this guy. So hilarious!
I only really came to appreciate his talent watching SCTV here on RUclips. If you haven't seen it, Death of a Salesman with Levy as Ricardo Montalban playing Willie Loman is hilarious.
HOW R YAAAHHHH?!? 🥸
Andrea Marten is like on Lucy's level .. she's one GOAT
thats not very nice--she doesnt look anything like a goat,eh!
SCTV was way ahead of its time. Broaching subjects no one else would.
That's cuz they had nice broaches!
Eugene Levy was the original Borat!!
HOW R YAAAHHHH?!? 🥸
*SCTV built and maintained a universe that was in fact more real than the world it portrayed.*

My father was obsessed. How lucky I was to watch these comedy geniuses and enjoy their humour years later.
❤
In 1982 I went to the SCTV Diner in Toronto! It was my FAV show back then!
Viva Melonville!
SCTV, funnier than Saturday Night Live with a way smaller budget.
I’m so grateful for whoever made these available on the good ol you tube
Wrong! Same funny. It's so obvious when someone hates on SNL that they are likely a butthurt conservative. Do you have a picture of Tim Pool in your wallet for those private times?
@@Marshall_Stacks Snap out of it, conservatives don't watch SNL, SCTV WAS WAY BETTER!🤬🤬
Thank you, exact same comment that gets posted on every single SCTV video.
you mean it's the snl of Canada. 2nd rate, low budget snl, but still equally or more funny.
Oh crap! I just realized the beginning sketch illustrated that it takes 3 polacks to turn on a TV!
ya that one hurt lol
That joke kills me
Reminds me of the one about how many Polacks it takes to pop corn? Five. One to hold the pan and four to shake the stove.
Catherine O'Hara looks so beautiful.
And she ages like fine wine.👍
Still is.
Yup! Cathy is sexy in a FUNNY way! 🥰
SCTV is what use to make TV great! Todays crap doesn't even compare to the talent on this show then! RIP big John Candy! You made me proud to be a Canadian
Have you seen their version of Heave It At Beaver? It's hilarious! Ward is an alcoholic who pours scotch on his corn flakes!
This is shit dry humour that boomers enjoy the stuff 10 years ago is way better than this garbage
Well we all know where George Costanza got his "I was in the pool!" line
Larry David
HEY HEY HEY YAH!
OMG!! This stuff is hilarious!!!! 🤣
This should be converted into 4k and released all over!! Comedy gold!!
Lived outside of Buffalo at this time. Used to pick SCTV with the antennae from Hamilton, Ontario. Best comedy ever to this day.
Catherine O'Hara has always been beautiful and hilarious!
Didn't grow up watching SCTV, but it's great to watch these old episodes! Thank you for posting these!
Canada has provided hockey and great humor❤🙏🏼
Yea, they'll need a lot of it since Truedumb has taken control....

As a huge sctv fan, this is one of my ultimate favourites.

Maybe she was laughing at an idiot who doesn''t know Romanians are not Gypsies...
Romanian or Romani? ('Course, she could be both.)
@@dixonpinfold2582 My Gramps was Romanian and cousin of Johnny Weissmuller! (Tarzan)
There’s no way this could be on TV now
thats lame
it should be.....enough of those who can't find humor in being who we are. Laugh at ourselves is healthy
If John Candy was spitting at white people it would be on Jimmy Kimmel and be a smash
I miss John Candy and Harold Ramis! They were amazingly funny.
"I was in the pool all morning..." Legendary
Hilarious to see this vasectomy sketch, written and performed so long ago. The nurses chortling, the men comforting each other. Happy that SCTV is being kept alive here. Thanks!

Wow what a great cast. Canada was kicking ass
Eugene Levy aged quite well. I think he is more handsome as an older man.

😂😂😂
"Johnny's Home" - rotf! Levy's facial expressions are always hilarious!
SCTV the good ol' days and it's still funny lol
If you've never seen the sctvs version of "the godfather" you have to watch it !! Hands down funniest skit you will EVER see. 😂😂😂😂😂
Every time I want to say some words of encouragement to one of my friends I simply tell them, "skate skate skate Johnny, skate down the rink!"
Ha, ha, ha, funny
How have I survived all these years without my SCTV.
This cast is so stacked.
I had to go to the emergency room... I busted a gut after watching this episode of SCTV... I'm better now.

That’s not saying much. SNL is not a comedy show.
The 70s were a different time. 😁
So were the 1240s.
One of the best tv comedy shows.
Loved SCTV, and it’s still hilarious decades later.
EXCELLENT, from a time when we could laugh at ourselves.
the best TV comedy ever!
As a Romany Gypsy, I found this hilarious. I don't know why they picked us. The story about God baking people in an oven is actually real but not an actual belief. Just a Santa Claus story to reassure brown kids. Also a Canadian, I once sat directly behind Katherine O'Hara at a Bob Marley concert.
There definitely needs to be more sketch shows. Joe Flaherty is def one my favs. Candy ofc also but that’s without saying.
I NAMED MY CAT FLOYD, after Count Floyd!
"Johnny, pass the vegetables". I just laughed beer out my nose. EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Joe Flaherty was brilliant
And beautiful
So funny, so smart, so well done. Gold, Jerry.....gold!
