RE.SCTV COMMERCIALS
Coronal
"Stairways To Heaven".

I think the two best commercials were the Tex and Edna organ emporium
commercial in which Martin Short played Boil Boy from the freak show tex
was having to sell organs and the other one involved Martin again who
played an old vaudaville actor who required a C a bouncy C to sing the
commercial jingle. The Tardy cannon was the most practical product that he
advertised. Tardy cannon is really great. It prevents you from being late.
If anyone knows the rest, please sent it with your best, because I seem to
have forgot the words ,da da da da da dada da.

Jake LaMotta's "Raging Bull-B-Q", done in glorious black & white.
"You got no teeth? You can eat my beef... Da da da da, da da da da."
One bite and you'll be making a comeback.

I believe that that was the great composer Irving Cohen. As I recall,
his first appearance was as a guest on the short-lived William B.
Williams show, and his entrance onto that show as he shuffled slowly and
at one point began to fall backwards was memorable.

Oh yes! To this day, I joke with one of my sisters (who is habitually late
getting ready for everything) about how she would need a Tardy Cannon to
get anywhere on time. I also remember him adding some lines about thinking
he broke his leg when he landed from being shot out of the cannon.
That whole episode--with the three ads from Irving Cohen--the furniture
polish, the cleanser and the Tardy cannon--had me laughing so hard I began
to cry with pain because my stomach was sore from laughing so hard.

The Tex and Edna ad campaign was great, but the single funniest ad I
can remember was for the (concert?) (tapes?) featuring Slim Whitman
and Indira Gandhi.

Not really a commercial but....
How about the duo Slim Whitman and Barbara Streisand singing
"You don't bring me flowers anymore". One of my most memorable
moments of SCTV.

The all-time funniest was the Perry Como in Concert spot...with the disco
dancers holding him up doing 'Stayin' Alive'. Eugene Levy was a scream as
Perry.

He was on the couch with the blankets tucked under his chin, then finally
he was just laying flat on the stage with the mic laying next to his mouth!
Too funny!

Oh, that was hilarious! Wasn't he singing "I Will Survive"? "Oh no not
IIIIIIIIII, I will surviiiiiiiiive..."
But the funniest part had to be when he sang "I Love the Nightlife"--from bed!
"I loooove the niiiiiigthliiiiiife....I love to booooogey...." (I think he
really said "bogey," not "boogie"! And those shots of John Candy's
reaction: "Well, you know they call him Mr. Relaxation...I thought
tonight's show was a little high-key."

Does anyone know if any SCTV episodes are available on videotape anywhere?
I've only found one called "Best of John Candy from SCTV." If not, can I
pay someone for video dupes of episodes? The show isn't being rerun on any
channels in the S.F area at all. I'm desperate! Thanks for any help. (I
have some rare monty python outtakes if you prefer trading....) Don A.

By the way, Thomas' new book is great!
