My take on that schtick is Stan’s linguistic clumsiness. Most native English speakers would emphasize the first name (Stan) with less emphasis on Schmenge, to differentiate from his brother, who’s already stated their last name.
@klmullins65 Also don't forget the tradition of taking off of the shoes, because "HE is the VISITOR"! I do believe this is also a universal custom, except in cultures where shoes are not worn or shoes are forbidden!
I'm Bulgarian-American, not too familiar with a lot of the traditions there, but every time I learn of one it reminds me of this skit. I just learned that we are supposed to bake bread and put a coin in it and see who gets the coin. Dental insurance not included.
So charming. My Wife's parents immigrated to Seattle from Norway in the 1950's and started their Family. Eventually their Parents and her Moms Brother and family settled in the same Seattle Neighborhood. Being from Europe their customs were a little different than ours here, and they dressed more formally than Americans do now on most occasions. I even learned to play the Accordion that my Aunt had given me years before and would inflict a few Polka's and Christmas songs on them at get togethers!
Thanks for sharing my great grandfather came from Norway leaving family there 10 years ago we reconnected with them. His two sons and one daughter moved to Spokane WA. His oldest daughter, my grandmother, stayed in Minnesota.
3:21 They do have the most beautiful artificial trees in Leutonia as you can see in this footage. Cabbage rolls and coffee and artificial trees. Life in Leutonia is truly magical. =)
This was/is my favorite late night comedy show of all time. Every Saturday night as a kid in the 70’s being able to stay up late and watch SNL (when it was actually funny) then SCTV was the best night of the week!
Makes me nostalgic for an innocence and goodness maybe in traditional ethnic families, maybe they were sending them up but you got the feeling the actors loved them too
If you grew up in Chicago in the 50's and 60's, you could hear this same type of accent from many Slavic people, especially from Poland. I know this is a satirical skit, but it rings true in so many ways. There were Polish tv and radio shows, especially polka variety shows on channel 32. I watched some of everything.
YES, that is truly the case. When you said it must be "Epic", I totally Agree. And the name should be spelt : Mrs. Vilve Yachke . This generation of ladies of Mrs. Vilve Yachke, they are all great Artisans. Practically all Lutonian women are would be Artisans. And Mrs. Vilve Yachke truly perfected the ART of cabbage rolls!

For further reinforcing the fact that Mrs. Vilve Yachke is truly one of the Greatest woman Artisan, and even is the Top Artisan, beating out also all the Men Artisan, especially when it came to the Cabbage Rolls. I am so happy that you, a Leutonian would come here to give her such great PRAISE! Glory Be to You Vlad! It is a great honor to know a person who knew her great Artisan food so well!

I feel so filled with Happiness and Joy to hear such great respect ! I have tears of the JOY when I hear such beautiful Praise VLAD! Thanks so much! And remember, in Leutonian culture, they do the Christmas, Especially for the Children!
I had a great-uncle who got drunk every Christmas, but his tradition every year was to trip and fall into the tree and knock it over in a crowded living room. He was Hungarian-American, rather than Leutonian, though- must have been a slightly different ethnic practice.
I love the outdoor Christmas lights. You used to be able to buy one Christmas bulb that blinked and put that bulb on a straight burning set of lights. So you could mix randomly blinking lights and non-blinking lights on the same string.. I don’t know why they stopped making them. It was fun to see one or two blinking lights on out door lights.
Ok seriously I think what makes me laugh is this seriously is NOT too far off from some actual hilarious European traditions. My Czech friend for example told me they would keep a carp in the bathtub feed it bread, until Christmas where grandpa would club it and they would have it fir dinner. Lol. No shade either to Europeans cause some North American traditions are silly too.
Well, the tub wasn't tradition as much as the carp. The tub was probably the only place to keep the carp till Christmas. I'm part Italian, and we have the feast of seven fishes Christmas Eve. And my grandfather used to make baccala, salt cod, at Easter, for dinner Holy Saturday. That has to be soaked for a couple of days, to soak out the salt before cooking it. So he used the bathtub. Fortunately, he had expanded the house and there was more than one bathtub, eventually! 😄
@@theBaron0530 your grandfather was a brave guy soaking the baccalà indoors. I never knew anyone who didn't keep it outside in a washtub. My father said that in his old neighborhood, there was more pollution in the week before Christmas than the steel mills cranked out during the entire year.

Yeah, but keeping the carp in the tub isn't the tradition, eating it for dinner Christmas Eve is. It's like the Italian custom of the Feast of Seven Fishes, a seafood dinner for Christmas Eve. And you have to park the fish somewhere till then.
Can you imagine the stink... smelly socks, BO with all that plaid polyester and 15 pounds of cabbage cooking... 😆😆😆 Well, it wasn't all that different because we had the 7 fish on Christmas eve with the whole house smelling like baccalà and burnt oil, plus all the men would light up huge air polluting cigars after dinner. At least they kept their shoes on. 😉

Some Leutonian Facts Part 3: The Happy Wanderers were Jimi Hendrix's favorite Polka band. Not many people know that Jimi was slated to contribute several guitar solos to the album that Yosh and Stan were recording in 1970,right before Jimi's death. What a loss!
From the Article on : The "Schwarznegger Vegetable Soup Diet!" The former seven-time Mr. Olympia has previously said he follows a mostly vegan diet, and his last meal of the day is always a big bowl of vegetable soup. Schwarzenegger shared the basic recipe in his newsletter for the "very delicious but light" dinner. It includes olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper, chickpeas, broth, plain low-fat yogurt, and fresh herbs. The recipe also calls for garlic, onion, zucchini, and spinach, although he has previously said you can use your favorite veggies or whatever you have on hand. Schwarzenegger has said he'll add a drizzle of pumpkin seed oil as well.
Since Arnold is from Austria, that means he is close to Leutonia SO, I believe he got this vegetable soup from "Mrs. Vilve Yachke!" He got Mrs. Vilve Yachke's recipe for the Leutonian Vegetable Soup

Some Leutonian Facts Part 6: In Leutonian culture, great respect is given to the Artisans, especially women Artisans, because the women are usually more skilled than men in the Artisan space, so hence one of the most famous Artisan woman in Leutonia is Mrs. Vilve Yachke. And the common way to give great praise to Artisans is to give Thanks. SO here is a famous saying in Leutonia to the greatest Artisan of these times< the phrase is :: "And once again, thank you to Mrs. Vilve Yachke for the cabbage rolls and the coffee..."
This is one of the greats phrases of Artisan Respect in the Leutonian Culture! I just wish to educate the peoples of the internet the cultural ways of Leutonia!
Who made all of the cabbage rolls? I guess we will never meet the Mrs. Vilve Yachke. She is always uncredited. Lots of new t-shirts I see on eBay from SCTV just in time for the season
Here are some more facts that I have found out: Some Leutonian Facts Part 7 : For the "Melchek" one needs to have a Christmas budgies . BUT where did Leutonians get the budgies? This is not very well known even in Leutonia. But recent investigations into this, has revealed this FACT:: The company run by Tex & Edna Boil, made a fortune smuggling budgies into Leutonia! The government of Leutonia is currently conducting investigations into this, at the moment the government has "No Comment" to the media, as it is still conducting the investigation.
Sort of generic Eastern European-Slovak, Slovene, though yes, "Leutonia" evokes the Baltic states. On the old half-hour series, they did a sketch about a Leutonian female athlete visiting Canada. John Candy played her. They showed her seeing all the things that we have in the West, that people living under Communist rule didn't have. When they took her to a shoe store, and offered her stylish shoes, she fell in love with the shoe measurement device and wanted to take a pair of those instead.
Also Lets not forget the tradition of taking off of the shoes, because "HE is the VISITOR". First Yash takes off his shoes, because "He is the VISITOR".
