To really get the full effect you need to see the whole SCTV show. Promos like this are funny all on their own but there was always an arc about the goings on at the station. This is like watching Family Guy but only the cutaways.
And he didn’t skip a beat. He is a legend. I laughed so hard with my brother watching his movies when we were kids. The great outdoors, uncle buck….planes,trains, and automobiles was funny too, but once I got older, it became my favourite.
Candy was the only celebrity’s death that actually made me cry ever. I was a kid but still since then I didn’t care enough about any celebrity to cry if they passed away. Still is one of the best comedic actors ever.
@@amyishere67 They used to pull 12m viewers, now they pull 4m. The only thing keeping them going is Pfizer and other drug companies over-purchasing the commercials.
I probably saw this when it came out. My bros. and I were big SCTV fans. We loved the cheap effects and low budget production. Cheaper and cheesier the better.
OMG, I can't believe I'm just seeing this for the first time. Lived in Stowe, VT in the early 70s and spent summer vacays at PEI with the family in our Shasta camper. I caught a lobster that came too close to shore by pushing it ashore with a piece of driftwood and mom made chowder out of it. Yep, pretty sure there were local taters in it.
My wife and I had so much fun watching SCTV when we were college students. We’d cuddle up to watch SNL, and SCTV came on right after. Sometimes she’d be really tired and start passing out, but she always made me promise to wake her up for the McKenzie Brothers😄Good times!
That, my friend, is some world class acting skill on display. How many others could blend leading man good looks, exciting action that looks like it had to be CGI with dialogue that would make William Shakespeare jealous?
From Dr. Tongue's 'House of Horrors' to the 'Shmenge Brothers', SCTV just wouldn't have been what it was without John Candy...not to mention "Uncle Buck" or "Canadian Bacon". You are remembered sir.
I remember this from back in the day. SCTV was brilliant! Johnny Carson and Conan O'Brien LOVED SCTV! And I can see Prince Edward Island from my window now. Its a wonderful place!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣SCTV was a great show and in many ways way ahead of it’s time. Small wonder many of those players went on to huge fame and stardom. Very talented group.👍👍👍👍
Despite his faults, Johnny LaRue was the hardest working person at SCTV. I think he produced and/or starred in most of their series. And _Polynesiantown_ deserved that crane shot.
I worked in PEI in the late 80's, near the ferry there was a roadside serve yourself potatoe stand.... leave cash in a box , make your own change and take your potatoes .
Don’t remember this from sctv. Was such a funny show that we got to enjoy here in my country 🇨🇦And John Candy was amazing. He played so many great characters. He left us too early.
I remember when John Candy did this work out on SCTV. We was smoking a cigarette while opening a fridge explaining how it would keep you in shape. It was awesome.
Magnum PEI was my favorite show growing up. The thing about Magnum, other than his prowess with the pretty young ladies, was his keen sense of right and wrong and his work ethic which included Shoot Now and ask questions later. Of course, after a rough day of being a Detective, Magnum spent his evenings Pillaging and Deflowering the Young Ladies in the neighborhood. What a guy !
Oh, how I miss watching SCTV after the evening news before going to bed. It was a nice wat to end the day, no matter what may have occurred. The world misses you John Candy, I miss you. R.I.P.
I came for the silly SCTV to SNL comparisons which seem to populate these comment sections. Completely different formats with a deep cross border family relationship. Anybody who actually grew up with both appreciated both, and would know something about this. That said, it's tough to compete with the greatest TV comedy in history. Can you imagine humor in the US without Canada's massive input? We wouldn't have SCTV or SNL... or John Candy, et al. We'd only have an obscure Second City troupe in Chicago without any Canadians -- and a bunch of unfunny stand ups making jokes about women drivers trying to land roles on awful sitcoms.
I’m from PEI and live next to a potato farm , I can confirm this actually is how we deal with poachers .👍🏻🇨🇦🍻

John Candy was one of Canadas greatest gifts to the world (there are quite a few). R.I.P. Big fella. You are still missed sorely after 29 years.
There were quite a few. And continue to be. I say this as a yank.
I sure miss him. Dewey Oxburger is often quoted on Pizza 🍕 nights in my house.

Watched SCTV as a teen back in the1980s and this is hilarious. Loved their ribbing of Canadian culture and John Candy was always funny.

Have you watched "Roy's food repair"? Candy does in one skit what SNL wishes they could do in an entire show.

I can only give it one thumbs up. RIP John Candy. Planes trains and automobiles one of my top 3 movies.
"My dogs are barkin"😂
Agreed, & for me then cameos in Home Alone, JFK, & National Lampoon's Vacation. Someday I'll buy Uncle Buck, etc.
I enjoyed the pipi long stocking skit
Delirious and The Great Outdoors. Luckily for us, he made a lot of great movies.
So simple and low budget... but it's John Candy so it's funnier than any fancy big budget comedy show today.
I probably saw this when it came out. My bros. and I were big SCTV fans. We loved the cheap effects and low budget production. Cheaper and cheesier the better.
And it's all thanks to the president and owner of "the SCTV family," Guy Cabellero.

Easier to hit the target if they're still 🤠
Why does he drop, roll, aim, then get up? ...lol
😂 @ the gun going off when Candy wasn't pointing it 😂😂
Wow. That guy looked exactly like John Candy.
Steve Roman!
I think if Tom Selleck saw this he'd be laughing his ass off.
Miss John Candy. One of my favorite comedians.
Shouldn’t that be: Mr. John Candy. 😂
I'm from Chicago and didn't understand this clip until I moved to Maine 5 years ago. I am on the floor laughing!!
I love this era of comedy, they weren't afraid to be weird and have fun. Miss you John Candy.
OMG I want to know what happened... Did the Potato Smuggler get caught? Did Magnum PEI ever get up?? So many questions
So many great skits on SCTV. John Candy was a gift to the world.

This sketch continues to live rent free in my head.
It made me sad. When I realized the actor was John Candy. I grew up watching him with my parents. Great comedian and actor.
Who else thinks John candy was Canada’s greatest actor?
Even JC started with amateur home video comedy. This should be inspiration to all those interested in becoming a star.

Love it, but I had to google the pei reference. Thanks John.

I miss when the CBC had quality programs, like this show and The Eh Team.😉
Who can forget _Bon Oui Alors!_
It’s so uncomfortably Canadian. I can’t stop laughing. Miss you Mr. Candy.
A great combo with The Rowdyman! Best episode of SCTV!
what a legend and with that aw shucks attitude it him to be a perfect joy to watch
I have no idea why the algorithm recommended this for me, but I’m sure glad it did!
Watching "Avonlea" as a kid made me think Prince Edward Island was a more serene scene...this sketch implies it has lots of council estates.
