Came to this after I just heard that he passed away. RIP Joe Flaherty. Now I’m looking for my Count Floyd album I bought back in ‘86. And anyone out there in SCTV land remember his cameo on Rush’s live version of “The Weapon” ? 😂
+ftsjr Yeah his Klugman is great, but I love Flaherty's Chuck Heston best of all. I love how his chuck always gets a cramp in his neck, lol... I don't know why but it somehow fits with ol' Chuck Heston, lol..
Final theory WAS a steamroller, after initial (incorrect) bulldozer theory. Quincy was always guessing until the final 5 min. Of course in the end it was simply natural causes...
Him doing the Count Floyd howl, which makes no sense because Count Floyd is dressed as a vampire not a werewolf, not knowing when to howl and with varying intensity is so funny every time. It's like he's completely off rhythm somehow.
Ive been saying it for years...Tom Green and Freddy got fingered is low-key master genius. I just realized that he referenced SCTV in that movie. Excellent.
For some reason a reverse senior moment came to my head. My son, who lives out of state texted me a clip from GQ where Quincy Jones was critical of the Beatles . It even the Quince with his accomplishments can dethrone the Beatles. So for some reason Quincy started bringing this Classic sketch up. Of course to really appreciate this is to have seen the original Quincy coroner series. Which I did. And I remember having spasms for hours from cracking up so much watching this . Superb characterizations ! I'm so grateful to see this again.RUclips rules !
RIP Joe! I like the beginning where they bring in the duck (Daffy, who's black) when are these ducks gonna learn about drugs, lol. I never watched this before, its like a new bit for me, a good bit too. Thanks.
I've been wondering for years why this segment never showed up on any of the "Shout Factory" DVD collections? There's all sorts of great SCTV skits that were never compiled. What's up with that?
I seriously doubt it's that simple (or simplistic). WB isn't Disney and they don't have a history of courtroom copyright cases. There are lots of other early SCTV segments that never made it to the collected DVD series and "Quincy: Cartoon Coroner" is just one of many tidbits that should be available for us rabid SCTV partisans. I recall lots of vignettes from SCTV's heyday that didn't show up on Shout Factory's collection so where are they?
@@ailurophile17 The Shout Factory sets collected the NBC 90-minute shows from the early to mid 1980s. None of the 70s material (the early years of SCTV) was released on those sets. When Nick at Nite broadcast re-runs of SCTV in the late 1980s, they showed syndicated versions of the show in 30 minute episodes, which included stuff from the mid to late 70s with Harold Ramis. Shout Factory also released a 3-DVD set called "SCTV: The Best of the Early Years" in 2006, but I have never seen it, so I do not know how much of the early material that these DVDs contain. Your best bet for the early shows seems to be here on You Tube. One channel (CanuckTV/ruclips.net/channel/UCsSoGF-V5KOHbSudeKAq6swvideos) has many of the half hour syndicated versions uploaded, including the early shows from the mid to late 70s. Hope this info helps.
@@russellblake6471 Russell: Well, after four years I was certainly surprised to get a response, I must say! Thanks for the info--I did purchase the DVD set of "The Early Years," hoping that some of my favorite sketches would be on it, but was disappointed in not finding the "Quincy: Cartoon Coroner" and a few others as well. I know they were shown on the broadcasts during the early and mid-80's though. I'm one of those people who actually requires a physical artifact in my possession, whether it be a record album, a 45, or in this case, a DVD. I suppose it's having a "collector's mentality" and at this stage of the game, all I can do is echo the sentiments of that famous philosopher and aver, "wottayagonnado?" Thanks anyway!
Nothing today comes anywhere close to this great humor. Joe Flaherty does a great impression of Jack Klugman.

Did not know he died R.I.P joe
SCTV was 100 years ahead of it's time.
After watching a few Quincy reruns for the first time in decades, I can tell you this is accurate.
Right into spikes mouth!🤣 spike chased him into a bread factory! But that didn’t kill him yet either!
Joe Flahrety is the most overlooked genius of SCTV
honored to be from his hometown :) hes great
He's so gorgeous 🤩

Quincy was an amazing t v doctor. He diagnosed Sylvester's flattened condition in matter of seconds.
I love the original Quincy and I love this. SCTV is genius.
Dave Thomas sitting there with newspaper comics and says we're up to our Necks in cases 😂😂
Quincy done blowed up! Blowed up real good! The Farm Film Report guys would be ecstatic!
Brian Reddish he blowed up real good
Ooo-wee!
Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol
Hurock😅😅😅
I love how Dave Thomas just listens.
Lord almighty this is genius. I loved this as a kid and it's still hilarious.
SCTV, or Quincy?
Definitely sctv is a fantastic show in general! This episode is great for sure!
Both!
Thank you for this!!! One of Joe Flaherty's great moments on SCTV !
they all had a lot of great moments. immensely talented and funny
Hilarious! My guts are killing me. Flaherty nailed the rant!
At the end Quincy surmises the case was HYSTERICAL 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sure Dave had a time keeping a straight face during the explanation.
Wow. I had forgotten about this great sketch! SCTV was ahead of their time.
Joe Flaherty did a great Jack Klugman.
+ftsjr Best Jack Klugman impression out there!
+ftsjr Yeah his Klugman is great, but I love Flaherty's Chuck Heston best of all. I love how his chuck always gets a cramp in his neck, lol... I don't know why but it somehow fits with ol' Chuck Heston, lol..
I'm guessing he is the ONLY one who does Klugman:)
His Kirk Douglas on "What's My Shoe Size" is even more amazing, I think he does the whole thing with his teeth clenched.
He also does a great Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Mud.
it should be illegal to be this talented.
Or beautiful
Quincy: "Boss, I could kiss ya!" *starts to lean forward*
Boss: *backs away in horror*
I LOL'd.
If I was boss I'd happily accept. 😘
@@sralyn Lolol!
sheer... unadulterated... comedic... genius !!!
Perfect demonstration of cartoon physics
The non-stop 2 minute rant summary of the case that begins at 00:02:40 is top-form Flaherty.
Great Klugman impression! But I think they meant to write steamroller, not bulldozer.
Final theory WAS a steamroller, after initial (incorrect) bulldozer theory. Quincy was always guessing until the final 5 min. Of course in the end it was simply natural causes...
The concept is off the charts!
Anything Flaherty was in was always good. This is superb.
I know, right?
Him doing the Count Floyd howl, which makes no sense because Count Floyd is dressed as a vampire not a werewolf, not knowing when to howl and with varying intensity is so funny every time. It's like he's completely off rhythm somehow.
PLEASE tell me this is one single take with no edits...even if you have to lie.
Damn, Joe's of the best.
I remember watching Quincy dead on I've watched this 5 times i love it!!!!
I loved Quincy and Joe flarety nailed it😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great send up of so-so show. Props to Joe for endurance during the wrap up!
they made the effort to have Dave Thomas look like Quincy's boss 😅
i just realized how he's making faces to resemble jack klugman!
Blowed up real good at the end, didn’t he? Wait. Wrong sketch.
Yeah, I was surprised they didn't bring those boys in at the end.
@@bradencampbell464 That did happen in the Zontar episode. The farmers were hiding behind the couch.
@Ross Kerr I think i remember the episode, it's just been a while. Did they have cabbage leaves behind their heads, or did they manage to avoid that?
@@bradencampbell464 No, they avoided that. God, I loved that episode.
@Ross Kerr ah, good. Funny, of all the characters that would manage to evade capture ...
Jesus how did he not pass out mid rant. Impressive .
The only makeup they did was tweek Flaherty's eyebrows a little. The rest is just his facial expressions!
Man, Sylvester was lucky to survive after being chopped into 20 slices then wrapped in cellophane.
RIP Joe Flaherty
Ive been saying it for years...Tom Green and Freddy got fingered is low-key master genius. I just realized that he referenced SCTV in that movie. Excellent.
This is Joe’s best performance Ive seen, awesome job sir!
Lmao 🤣
Omg!! these people are the funniest people in history!!!! 🤣
That seen was crazy when he's explaining how he died flarety was out of breath!!! I was dieing
I noticed Quincy kept referring to a bulldozer until the final reveal when he mentions a steamroller...of course 😉
@Nature and Physics no
That cat was 97 years old. I've seen cats go through worse than that!!
Brings back a lot of memories. Quincy lol
Joe nailed Quincy dead on!!!!
RIP JOE ! God, he looks so much like Quincy
You have to watch quincy to really enjoy this skit 😂😂
Classic Flaherty!
Loved this show ! I remember back then getting baked just in time to watch this. Same thing with the Muppet show. PIIIIIGS IIIIN SPAAAAAACE !!!! LOL
LOL...sure was a fun way to watch those awesome shows....made them awesomer...if that's a word...lol ;D
This show was the ultimate to get blazed for!
Quincy slyvester was 97 years old😂😂😂😂
There's a lot of Pacino in that Klugman impression.
You’re out of order!
OMG is this hilarious!
Spot on Quincy parody. Hattip to the makeup team!

Klugman Lives!!!!!!!!!
This is priceless.
That's All Quincy like that's all folks LOL
A-be-bi,a-be-bi d-d-d-dat's all J-jack Klugman .
RIP Joe! I like the beginning where they bring in the duck (Daffy, who's black) when are these ducks gonna learn about drugs, lol. I never watched this before, its like a new bit for me, a good bit too. Thanks.
This is fantastic!!!!
RIP Joe Flahrety!
JPF, RIP. 😞
If you like this find the "Harvey" parody
The original Quincy, Jack Klugman's son Adam Klugman directed a commercial that me and my mom were in for Mark Hass's re-election campaign.
The opening line is hilarious
He was so good in freaks and geeks. Too bad wasn't on longer .
Yup
That's a pretty good Jack Klugman
Spike confessed, but he didn't tell the whole story. Spike is an unreliable witness.
Genius!
I’d like to think Joe is performing his own autopsy in heaven
Just genius!
It wasn't a heart attack, it was moida !
Joe Flaherty was wonderful on SCTV.
Sabastian?
God: Joe Flaherty, why should I let you into My Heaven?
JF: I was Quincy, Cartoon Coroner.
God: I'm sending you...South of Heaven.
A weally, weally doornail flat poody tat?.... Did de Tweety boid do dat?
Let it go Quinc
just awesome
Now I know where they got the idea for Roger Rabbit.
Hilarious!!!! Lol
RIP Joe!

hilarious
Joe Flahrety is the best!
Not only a great impression of Jack Klugman-their shared Jewishness maybe helps?-But "a prototype of Who Framed Rodger Rabbit".
@sey yed yeah, "Flaherty" sounds pretty Irish.
@@RonJohn63Especially when you consider his real last name is "O'Flaherty". That's Irish Irish.

How Dave Thomas kept a straight face, I dunno.
Baby boomers grew up with all those cartoon tropes, but I wonder if kids today(or even millennials)would get this?
Spike's doghouse is a parody of Snoopy's doghouse.
Way funnier than SNL

copyright problems. Warner Bros owns tweety and sylvester characters. that's why.
I doubt it's due to copyright problems. Satire is protected freedom of speech.
