I was always partial to "Do It Yourself Dentistry", with Harold Ramus...AND the "Leave it to Beaver" parody..."life sucks; yeah but so do you, Beaver!"
Ok..ya had to be there! So glad the dvd is being released. Yay!
I'll always love John Candy's bit as Johnny LaRue doing Evelyn Wood's Speed Drinking commercial. With SNL and SCTV, the 70's ruled for great ensemble comedy.
dan always loved Joe Flaherty's Pittsburgh references

Eugene Levy slumping under the table, with coke-bottle glasses on, asking "San Frensisky? Did someone say San Frensisky?"
-Lola Hetherington (Catherine O'Hara) on the Sammy Maudlin Show: "I want to bear your children!" "Haw haw haw!"...
Andrea Martin at the piano as -- can't get her name -- the country singer, based on Patsy Cline's "I'mm sorry....so sorry..that I made you sad...
Except Martin's take goes "I'm happy....so happy...to have made you happy too!
Eyes well up with tears; "MA MAAAAA!", back of wrist pressed to her forhead (meanwhile the party swirls all around her. One more repeat and she runs from the room.
"Time with Libby Wolfowitz" (Martin) when guests came to kvetch on a gaudy set of pillows and silks. (And there is no way this "interview" is going to stray from the subject of Libby...)
Tommy Shanks, the Mayor of Melonville (Candy): Fireside scene opens with Mayor in a cardigan, a comfortable ottoman and a pipe. Beside him is his stuffed dog.
"Hi," goes. "I'm, Tommy Shanks...Mayor, of Melonville," smiling in to the camera for way too long. "Y'know, that contract for repairing, the sidewalk in front of our nine-unit Restful Hills Home, is still on the table...heh heh, well, as long as Granny doesn't end up on the table, ghuhuishushuhu ["snoprt!"]...." Big suck on the pipe. "Well, that's about all. G'night!" He waves to the camera.
Music up and fade to black.
Keepers, all of them!
ps for totally dead-pan humour rent Cannibal Girls,[1973] with Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin. It's a low0budge Canadian effort made in a satellite town of Toronto. We thought it was fascinating/hilarious from the get-go, but a couple more viewing s has revealed gut-hurting seriously-presented tossaways like when the first stop at the "recommended" motel and step out into the streaky snow, leaden sky hanging just above the tacky 50's Motel. Martin, who has never been "this far north" with her beloved before, hooks her arm into his and wonders -- as the wind picks up: "Has it always been this beautiful?"
Dir by Ivan Reitman (before he did Ghostbusters)...written by almost-then SCTV regulars.
Play it for your parents/friends, making no comment before or during. After, you can open it up for them, like the quite frightening sceen when they try and escape the Cannibal Girls and the Chevy dies. Wind is howling. Ignition tried RURURU RU*sput* Ruu...behind them they know the CG are honing in. Andrea, wanting desperately to help, eyes wide in fright suggests in a little voice: "Maybe the tires are flat?

I don't know of any Patsy Cline song like that. Might you mean Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry" with these words?
I'm sorry, so sorry That I was such a fool I didn't know Love could be so cruel Oh oh oh oh uh-oh oh yes You tell me mistakes Are part of being young But that don't right The wrong that's been done (I'm sorry) I'm sorry (So sorry) So sorry Please accept my apology But love is blind And I was to blind to see.

" She does it, the whole town knows she does it" My fave is still"Edith Prickly at the Mellonville Baths" or John Candy as Divine in "Peter Pan" Betsy

No it's a spoof of Connie Francis, or a commercial for her greatest hits album that ran in the 70s.

Yeah, Sid Dithers! Remember "The Jazz Singer" when he's disappointed his son Al Jarreau won't become a jazz singer, he'd rather be a cantor at Temple?

Look for her in Chris Guest's next movie!

Her show "You!" Ha - and her new man-bashing play: "I'm Taking My Own Head and Screwing it On Right"

Yer right. I still mix up Brenda and Patsy songs. Gotta buy me a couple of CDs and get things straight.

Her co-star, of course, was Sue Bopper-Simpson, widow of the late great Big Bopper--another great Catherine O'Hara performance.
I hope the DVD isn't all Doug & Bob McKenzie. At a minimum, it should contain LOTS of O'Hara. I'd like to see Lola Heatherton's comeback special ("Lola: Bouncing Back to You") , the Dusty Towne Sexy Holiday special (with John Candy as Divine), and her imitations of Elizabeth Taylor and Brooke Shields..

Ha, definitely.

No, it's starting with the 90-minute shows first. Hopefully other DVDs will follow!

It's unreal how she could transform herself...they all could! It's hard to believe Bobby Bittman and Brian Johns are the same person ;)

Money Talks with Brian Johns, now I've got that theme song in my head! <ching ching ching!> Anyone who did that that song, it seemed it it was a snippet of a song.

"Money (That's What I Want)" - The Flying Lizards. I always thought it was Lena Lovich.

Thinking of music and SCTV, I'm now reminded of the Gil Fisher (John Candy) skit where he went fishing with The Tubes, who then proceeded to making, and sing about, sushi. The Tubes, whooo! Sushi, whooo!

Yeah loved The Tubes with The Fishin' Musician -- didn't they go boating in the Everglades and kept getting stuck in the reeds...Also Joe Walsh was a trip on that show.
So many great musical guests. I enjoyed Dave Thomas's brother Ian, played a song I liked, don't know the name though. It went something like "Hold on, nothing has changed... tell me why do i feel this way..."

How about Mel Slirrup and "Mel's Rock Pile"? At the time when punk was starting to hit the North American shores, Mel had on the Queen Haters, featuring most of the SCTV cast dressed up as punks. That had to be one of the most hysterical skits, visually speaking.
From another "Mel's Rock Pile"... "What's your name young man?" "I.P. Nightly" "Nice of you to come to the show I.P. And what's your friend's name?" "Rusty. Rusty Bedsprings."
