I've seen Strange Brew, but that's pretty much all I've seen of them. I doubt any kids will know that the mooses are supposed to be some drunken Canadians :P It's like with Bugs Bunny still doing Groucho Mark impressions. No kids going to get that.

It's a shame a good chunk of the old SCTV stuff is lost in legal limbo due to copywright problems. While there is something funny about two characters being added to the Disney stable who are modeled on a pair of underachiving drunks I agree with BNVinny; are kids going to get the reference? Even so, it seems Bob and Doug still have plenty of fans if they are showing up as a pair of cartoon moose and were turned into action, er, inaction figures.

Kids don't necessarily have to know of Groucho Marx or know about Bob and Doug McKenzie -- just like they didn't have to understand the "overcompensating" joke in Shrek. They're family movies, not just kids' fare. (And, of course -- the subtle jokes and references in family movies don't necessarily have to espouse "family values.")

I'm sure somebody will release SCTV on DVD, given that it will make cash. They've gotten other licensed hell shows out so I don't see this being too much of a problem.

Now, when is somebody going to add Don Cherry to an animated movie? That's what I want to know...

I never heard of these guys until after everyone started talking about them in forums.

Bob and Doug McKenzie.

I swear,they're frickin funny. No wonder why they play Rutt and Tuke in BB. I'm listening to one of their clips right now.

I'm sure Canadians here will have heard of them. Seeing as how they were once part of some SCTV show.

---

I'm sure most American's have heard of them too, assuming you use THEIR ACTUAL NAMES... Rick Moranis (Space Balls, Ghostbusters 2, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Flinstones 1... I'm sure you know of him) and Dave Thomas (not the resteraunt guy, he was in... well a lot of Canadian shows)

Incidentally SCTV was shown in the states as well and has a cult following.

If you like Bob and Doug so much you might consider hunting down the action figures, MacFarlane (Todd himself being Canadian) released both as seperate figures that when combined create a set from SCTV.

Just to rag on you a little more, what you said is like saying "I saw this romantic comedy and it starred Batman AND Catwoman!!!" (5 points to whoever can name both the actor, actress, AND movie I'm referring to!)

SCTV in leagl limbo:
I've seen episodes of it rerun late at night in the last few years.

Yeah it used to run after Conan before they gave the TRL guy (It'd be a dark day if I can remember the moron's name) his own show.

They used to do beer commercials which were pretty cool. I saw (heard?) them in the preview for the Disney movie and assumed that they were there so parents woould have something to keep them entertained. Either way they should be funny enough on their own without the SCTV reference.

I hope they release these skits nationwide on DVD. I'm sure it is out there somewhere. But,as I sure haven't found none here.
