SCTV phrases
Richard High
Wanda Sherratt <sher...@mediaone.net> wrote in message news:3889B0C3...@mediaone.net...I was reminded of this by a thread on a movie board; are there any SCTV words or phrases that have entered your daily vocabulary? In my family we have quite a few, usually little snippets of scenes that seem appropriate to other situations. Of course, starting in on these often leads to reciting the whole scene, but what the heck.1. "Scary, kids, scary!" from Count Floyd (usually pronounced "Skelly, keeds, skelly!)
2. "How do you like that piece of British Brilliance!" - from a really odd piece where Guy Caballero was responding to viewer complaints that SCTV didn't show any imported British programs, like PBS. He told them (and truly, too) that PBS gets all the good stuff, and the rest is just crap, which he illustrated by showing part of a bizarre chat program called "You Be The Host", consisting of a long-haired geek interviewing a punk tearoom waitress about her dreams.
3. The last one is a rambling passage from a drunken Floyd Robertson talking to Soren and Weiss as part of a special documentary they are doing on "Youth: Do They Give a Damn or What?". "It's easy, oh so easy, to ask the questions, when you're the one asking the questions. What's NOT so easy is when someone asks YOU the questions, like I'm going to do right now. And what I want to know is, are you two hom--" At which point the interview cuts off and back in the studio Eugene Levy says evenly "We'd like to thank Mr. Robertson for his - participation." I don't know just how it happens, but we tend to launch into that one about once a month for some reason.
4. And lots of lines from "Das Boobs" in those terrible dubbed voices: "What is that to you, PeeWee? You are too young and much to innocent for such things." "Unlike us, whose sexual exploits are known throughout Germany!"Wanda
Dale Sherman
Repeating the 3-D effect from the "House of" series.
"No, you didn't study for Joan of Arc, you're not play Cleopatra."
I'll admit it's rare when these come up, but they have. 'Course, no one
understands what I'm doing when I say or do these things, so there's a
lot of shaking heads when it happens. :-)

My favourite SCTV phrases include Alki Stereopolis (sp?) doing that whole
'Hey baby, whatsa hepping', for that Sunrise Semester installment.
I also liked Dave Thomas' Scottish guy (I forgot his name), with such
phrases as 'Bob's your uncle', or 'close the door or you'll let the wee
beasties in'.
There's definitely more, but I can't think of them right now.

My husband and I wrote our wedding ceremony. We were married aside great

would be mine was when I discovered his love of SCTV as well. It is on video
tape for my descendants to see me doing my version of Doctor Tongue, swooning
forward with a brandy snifter saying to my 200 guests "Dr Tongue's 3D house of

I believe that was Angus Crock doing Sunrise Semester:Conversational
Scottish. I also liked the one where he and Rabbi Karloff got into an
argument and Karloff told him something like "go paint some eggs [as in

Karloff suggested Crock by a dining room set from a catalogue, and
Crock starts laughing, because he'd recently done just that and ended
up with something he didn't like. Karloff tells Crock about his
brother, Shmuel, who's in the business, and he just has to pick out a
design and some material and it'll be ready in three weeks,

I liked the skit where Bobby Bittman tried to introduce
his younger brother, Skip, into show biz on the Sammy Maudlin
Show. Skip brought out a tape recorder to record his
monologue to send to their mother and knocked the recorder
off his stool. Trying to mimic his brother, Bobby,
Skip tried the trademark phrase "How's it hangin'!!!"

This is a classic. I forget the exact routine, and I don't think the
Comedy Network has shown it yet, but you can't go wrong with
Dusty: What street do you live on?
Audience member: Elm Street.
Dusty: Elm Street? Do you know a Dinky Withers at 83?
Audience memeber: No, I don't.
Dusty: Well it does! Ha, ha! Isn't that cute, isn't that
true?
And pulling out "I want to BEAR YOUR CHILDREN!" at unexpected moments
is always good. That and the Dr. Tongue 3D effect kept me and my
friends in stitches in junior high.

When our local TV news has a particularly inane "teaser" for the
stories they'll have on the 11PM news, we always quote Earl's classic
line: "Melonville man almost spends night in jail."

Everyone loves doing Moranis as Merv. I fell out of my chair the
first time I saw it because I thought I was the only person who
noticed Merv did that on his show (as Arthur Treacher looked on
disinterestedly).

I got to do a radio spot as Count Floyd because I used to do him
around the station. They said it was a lousy Count Floyd, but it
captured his essense. I don't know if that's going or bad....
Also, if any minor disaster would happen at work, several of us
would emulate Joe Flaherthy as Chuck Heston and yell: It's a ____

Speaking of Lin Ye Tang, my friends and I often use his lines from the
Dining with LaRue segment:
"There's no more food left, YOU ATE IT ALL!!!......YOU'VE BEEN EATING ALL

Bob Grimes
"What do you mean there's no movie?"
Of course from Count Floyd, during that famous scene where the guy comes

One of my sisters (the same one whom we joke needs a Tardy Cannon to get

Except? But that'd be the best part of it, Trudi. Suppose Gil went out
on the water when it was *frozen*?
Of course, he'd have to ask Brian to "sing a little", mistakenly
thinking that he's another musical guest "like that Bryan Adams
guy. Phew! Face like bait. But he sings good". They could have tossed
in a non-sequitur, like Dave Thomas as Jackie Stewart (in the boat)
calling his skate. Juul Haalmeyer could have tried to sign him up as
one of his dancers. Guy Caballero could have rooked him into thinking
he was on the CBC, getting a Prime Time Special (with Lola Hetherton).
No, they could have developed some pretty good bits.

Seeing all the prime time game shows on the air reminds me of Bobby
Bittman's turn on the $20,000 pyramid. Remember when he got the category
of opera to give clues about? The clue "cosi fan tutti" came up
and he told his panicked partner "uh, I think this is an Italian law firm..."

Oh, you're right! I could just see it now! Brian tries to give Gil and
Whitey a skating lesson--"Now, come on, don't be scared, I used to skate
on frozen ponds all the time back in Penetang." He gives Gil a big push to
get him started, and of course Gil skates right into the reeds.

LOL!

Actually, not to be cruel, but Brian Orser would have been a perfect guest
on "Jackie Stewart's Wide World of High Voices." He could have even
brought his big rival, Brian Boitano, along for the ride.

Stop! Stop! You're reminding me of some of the more garish costumes of
Brian's early career...;-)
> Guy Caballero could have rooked him into thinking

I can just see it now: Brian Orser and Lola Heatherton starring in "Night
Moves." Lola tries desperately to be a bleach-blond version of Katarina
Witt. Brian advises her to keep her day job (while waving off her
cigarette smoke). Lola doesn't see why smoking like a chimney should
interfere with her skating prowess. Besides, doesn't it make her look
kinda sexy--or even kinda after-sexy?

Several get passed around in my family...
"Whoah, my heart's beating like a rabbit!"
"Hoo-o-o-o-o! Pret-ty SCAry, huh, kids?"
"I'll have lots, please."
"Oh it couldn't be much *better*, I must say?"
"You want to make your Alki breakfast? ...GO ON! Make me breakfast!!!"
Okay, it's the short list. I do need this show on tape. If only to have
the 'Hey Yorge' song.

The 'Hey,Giorgy' song can be found on the SCTV sounds page at the address below. If you can't link up to it from here, just go to Yahoo and type in 'SCTV' then goto the link of 'SCTV...Is On The Air', scroll halfway down to where "SCTV Sounds' is under the Sound Clips section, and go there.

It's a nice compilation of sound clips from SCTV.
Enjoy,
