Not that it's my favorite line, or that I don't find many other things
deserving; it's just that this is the one that somehow worked its way
into my lexicon.

Does doing 3-D stuff count? People always laugh.
I managed to fit the words "As a comic, in all seriousness" into a
something I did on the air the other day.
I guess "Oooh. We'll be right back" doesn't count, since Merv Griffin
actually used to say it. I was sorry that SCTV couldn't find someone
to do Arthur Treacher to put down Merv with a "Whatever you say, Merv"
or "My sides are still shaking with laughter, old prune" but it probably
didn't fit into the bits.

Why not? When you say it like Rick did...
That's one for me, as well as "I wanna bear your children!," "Ooh, that's
scary, kids!" and many others. And, as I've said before, my sisters and I
make frequent reference to the need for a Tardy Cannon when we're late, or
in the winter to our boots being Salt-Buddied.

I got one of my cousins when he was two years old to do the "oooh"
part. (He sounded less like Merv and more like Floyd the Barber.) Too
bad he was too young to say the "we'll be right back!" Interestingly
enough his father is a big SCTV fan (we usually greet each other with an
"ooo, scarrry!!!"), but I didn't know that at the time...

I've been thinking of transcribing some of the best bits from SCTV
for a while... maybe I'll throw something together for my next big site
update. I'm also looking into short video clips (now that I've had my

I'll start things off ... [The numbers are season #, episode #, scene #,

1-7#3b: Viewer Letters
Floyd Robertson (Joe Flahrety): And now it's time for (our) once-a-week
feature on SCTV News, News Views Letters. Now this is where we read
letters from you, our viewers, who objectively discuss the pros and
cons of our program. Now let's start off, all right, Earl?
Earl Camembert (Eugene Levy): Thanks, Floyd. Our first letter tonight comes
from Mrs. Emile Zola, who writes: "My family and I have been avid
watchers of SCTV news for many months now, primarily because of the
objectivity, discretion, and damn good journalistic sense of [slowing]
Floyd ... Robertson. [pause; FR looks smug.] His magnetic personality
and undying quest for the truth make him number one in my books. Three
cheers for Floyd."
FR: Hmmm, that was nice.
EC: Quite a compliment.
FR: Yeah. Here's one from Mr. D. R. Halsey of Centerville. Mr Halsey says:
"Dear Floyd, can't say enough about your fine news program, but one
thing really bothers me. Surely you can come up with someone better
than Earl Camembert. I can see how you might feel sorry for the guy,
but you can only carry pity so far. Now if it's a contract thing with
Earl, I'm a lawyer, and maybe I can help you out. I'd even waive my
usual fee if it would help get Earl off an otherwise fine newsprogram."
Earl?
EC: "(To) the president of SCTV Network: There are two sides of every coin,
and this seems to be your approach to your network newsteam, because
Earl Camembert comes up tails [pause] in presence, personality, and
delivery. He is a slug-"
FR: Slug?
EC: It says here "He is a slug jamming the efficiency of your news machine
and until you get rid of that", and then it goes on and on, uh,
"fumbling moron" ...
FR: [reading from his copy] "Empty-headed fumbling moron ..."
EC: Right. So that's one letter.
FR: You (wanna) finish it?
EC: No, I don't.
FR: (He) calls you a slug? [chuckles]
EC: I hope you die of rabies.
1-10#2: Sunrise Semester: Political Sciences 101 with Dr. Hammond
Greer.
[Dave Thomas throughout.]
Good morning and welcome to Political Sciences 101. I'm your instructor,
Dr. Hammond Greer. Today I'd like to talk to you about the future of the
scientific community.
Consider these facts, culled from a recent magazine article. Fact
number one: Ninety percent of the scientists who ever lived in history are
living today. Fact number two: One out of four people, in the Western
world, works for the scientific community. And yet this secret society
exists because each year -- and this is fact number three -- the government
gives the scientific community billions of dollars and millions of barrels
of oil.
Why? Why is this allowed to happen? When it is a known fact that
scientists are stealing from us?
Proof? You want proof? Weigh your car. Then compare that weight with
the weight listed in your owner's manual, and you'll find a discrepency of
fifty pounds. Fifty pounds times ten million new cars built in North America
every year ... That's five hundred million pounds of steel and glass!
What are they doing with all this stuff? What are they building?
They've got enough to build another planet, which is probably where they
live, off on some planet whipping around the universe, doing who knows what
to whom.
And then these scientists say they can't get us better mileage for our
cars. Well, we'd be getting great mileage on our cars, if they didn't steal
our gas... Yeah, they sneak into our houses at night with rubber hoses and
siphon gas out of our cars, and that's not all they're stealing from us.
My toaster is working slower than it ever did before. It's because the
scientists are stealing electricity, siphoning it out of my home, without
even asking me.
And I know I get more mail than I do, but the scientists steal it,
open it and read it, and if it's no good, THEN they send it to me ...
And how many times has someone phoned you and said they tried to get
in touch with you, but your line was busy, and you know you weren't on the
phone? 'Cause the scientists were using your phone, probably making long-
distance calls to that planet they live on.
And who do you think takes the top one-third of all cereal boxes?
Scientists! They love cereal!
They're stealing from us! They're robbing us blind! And what do they
give us back in return? Proper pH balance for our hair. What the hell is
proper pH balance, and who cares anyway? We've got to stop them before they
take over the world!
[pause, then calmer:] Tomorrow we'll be talking about the effect of
the gas combustion engine on the political structure of Taiwan.
... and a few one-liners (incomplete):
from 1-7#6: Commercial: Famous Philosopher School
Harold Ramis: Why, you could make as much as some poets!
from 1-14#5: Public Shoplifting Announcement: Shoplifting
Dave Thomas [announcer]: Shoplifting doesn't pay; it's easier to buy it.
So don't take it unless you're sure you can get away with it-- [punch]
Ugh, so don't shoplift under any circumstances; it's easier to pay for
it.
You know what I would love? Sound files that would play to signal various
things happening on a computer (error messages, incoming e-mail, etc.).
All from SCTV.

from an unexpected direction.

Thanks, eh! I'll add these to the site once I get working on it (my
main goal right now is to finish my personal site, I need a place to put
my resume and BobNET just doesn't seem appropriate)... if anyone else
wants to add something just post it here on alt.tv.sctv, I'll see it
eventually.
Maybe I'll work on an SCTV theme for Windows... anyone have any ideas
for what sounds to use for the various events that could happen?

That's great, but while you're at it, could you please pretty please also
make one for the Mac? (she weeps)
I'll try, but I don't have a Mac (I wish I did, I've wanted to play
with MacOS X for almost three years now). Actually, I'm not even sure
how to make one for Windows (but at least I have a WinXP system to
experiment on). What I'll probably end up doing is rip the sounds from
the show, then someone who actually knows how to make audio themes for
various operating systems can do that part...
