Watching the great movie "Strange brew" starring Bob and Doug Mckenzie. (for those of you who dont know who they are, get out from under a rock , or ask your parents, if your under the age of 30) I realized that there isn't many Canadian movies that fall under the catagory of comedy.
So as i sit here laughing at the hozers steam roll eachother in an insane asylum , I ask you, whats your favorite kind of movie? (Canadian or not)

'Strange Brew' is awesome. I try to watch it with my friends here, and they just don't get it. Oh simpletons...

But weren't Bob and Doug merely American inventions of what Canadians 'were'? I remeber getting mad before because I'd heard they were americans on an american show impersonating us....?

I like comedies. Or comedic action. Like the Run Down with the rock is good. Action with quick little quips for entertainment.

Second City TV. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas ( for those old enough to remember Ian Thomas' Brother.) working out of SC comedy troupe in Toronto. Second City itself seemed to be in a number of American and Canadian cities but featured local comedians. Excellent movie, B the B.

Bob and Doug are Canadian and they were invented before the show they came from was ever played in the US.

Strange Brew is an excellent movie.

I've always like documentaries myself, so if have to pick only one genre I guess that's it. Whether it is straight investigative journalism, something quirky and funny like My Student Loan, or a complete mockumentary like Dark Side of the Moon, they are entertaining as hell and in most cases you can learn something too.

Is "other" supposed to be porn? If it is, I had a tough time between that and action. If action/porn was a category, then that would have been my pick.
Haven't seen Bob and Doug since I was a kid. Might go to the local videocassette renting establishment and see if they can't find me a copy this weekend.

I thought this was good.

I thought this was good.

I think then Scape injoys comedies, action and a little bit of suspense...

I grew up & lived in the U.S. I just loved Bob & Doug and really thought that Canada was a pretty swell place to be because Bob & Doug showed how laid back people are and how they appreciate life (not the petty ass BS that is stereotypical of Americans)....I've immigrated and lived here PROUDLY for 5 years!! Thanks (partly) to Canadian content like Bob & Doug!!!


ANother great comedy is Fletch!!!

Bob and Doug McKenzie were created when the government set down some rules on broadcasting. The rule was that any production made in Canada had to have a certain percentage of Canadian content. The writers were dumb-founded on what Canadian content meant, so they developed Bob and Doug McKenzie. I love Strange Brew and SCTV, both great works. I also have their record, a must have.

Actually, the creation of Bob and Doug had nothing to do with Canadian Content, as the whole show was Canadian. It was created because of commercials. Yes in those days, you may remember there didn't seem to be that many commercials compared to today and you would be right for Canadian TV. The American stations actually had more commercial time scheduled. (We have since caught up as it adds $ to the coffers) For this reason, when SCTV started broadcasting in the US, it need one segment to make up the difference in time. Viola! The birth of Bob and Doug strictly for the Canadian audience. Unexpectedly, American TV executives who saw this segment thought it was hilarious and wanted it included in the show they recieved as well so it started to be played in the US as well. Not sure what segment they cut out of the export product at that time, but it really isnt important is it...

Bob & Doug started on SCTV in Toronto with a segment called "the Great White North."


Here's a segment.

the Great White North the Great White North:

Bob - Okay, good day, I'm Bob McKenzie, this is my brother Doug.
Doug - How's it goin', eh?
Bob - Aw! We gotta start over, eh!
Doug - Huh? What for?
Bob - Cause the topic this month is Mexican Night.
Doug - Oh, right.
Bob - So, uh. Buenos días, I'm Bob McKenzie... no! José McKenzie, and this is my brother Pablo.
Doug - Pablo?!
Bob - Yeah! I mean: Sí!
Doug - Don't get confused, eh! I'm really Doug McKenzie and he's really Bob. He just thinks he's Mexican now cause we went through the drive-thru at Taco Bell to get dinner.
Bob - Take off! I'm José!
Doug - Shouldn't that be written with the upside-down exclamation mark?
Bob - ¿You mean like this?
Doug - Well, that's a question mark but yeah.
Bob - So anyway, we got some burritos and tacos but we didn't order any drinks. We got those at the Beer Store.
Doug - As usual.
Bob - So here's some Mexican beer. (looks at bottle) Cerveza.
Doug - Who's he?
Bob - Huh? He who?
Doug - Sir Veza!
Bob - What the? No, look! (hands Doug the bottle and points) Cerveza.
Doug - Oh, what's that mean?
Bob - Beer, I think.
Doug - Ah, so when we're in Mexico we can order some.
Bob - Do they have Beer Stores there?
Doug - No, I think they sell it at Taco Bell.
Bob - Taco Bell?!
Doug - Yeah!
Bob - In Mexico?
Doug - Yeah!
Bob - Why?
Doug - Well there's Kentucky Fried Chicken places in Kentucky, I don't see why they can't have a Taco Bell in Mexico.
Bob - Beauty.
Doug - Yeah, I'm gonna try this taco. (takes a bite) Tastes beauty to me!
Bob - Gimme that!
Doug - No way, get your own!
Bob - Hoser. (removes a burrito from the paper bag and takes a bite) Wow, that's pretty good. You know what would be good on these?
Doug - What, guacamole?
Bob - I bet you can't spell that.
Doug - Oh yeah! I'll bet a beer! A Sir Veza!
Bob - Okay, go for it.
Doug - G-W-A...
Bob - You lose. (takes the beer from in front of Doug)
Doug - What? How do you know?
Bob - See, it says so on the little packet. (shows Doug)
Doug - Geez.
Bob - So you know what would be good on these?
Doug - What's that?
Bob - Back bacon.
Doug - No way, take off. That's Canadian.
Bob - So? It'd still taste good.
Doug - Yeah, probably. And cheese. With a bun instead of a tortilla. And no beef or beans.
Bob - I think you just reinvented the back bacon on a bun sandwich.
Doug - Yeah, and we'll sell it at our own fast food place.
Bob - Yeah, McKenzie's. Billions and billions served.
Together SNORK!
Doug - Hi, kids! I'm Ronald McKenzie!
Bob - Oh no! It's the Beerburglar!
Doug - Robble-robble! (takes his beer back from Bob)
Together SNORK!
Bob - (looks down) Hey wait a minute.
Doug - (finishing his taco) Geez, these are really good.
Bob - Yeah, we gotta have Mexican night more often.
Doug - There's a lot of beans on these, though.
Bob - I know, they're gonna...
SFX farting noises
Bob - AARRGGHH!! GEEZ! (pulls shirt over face)
Doug - (amused look on face) What? Oh geez! (pulls his own shirt over his face)
Bob - What'd you do that for?
Doug - It wasn't me, it was the beans!
Bob - (waving his arms around) I'm gettin' out. That's the show for this month. Hopefully the house gets aired out before the next one. Good day. (gets up and takes Doug's beer)
Doug - Good day. Oh man. (pulls his shirt back down and sniffs the air) OH GEEZ!

As far as movies go I choose dramas. I'm too often dissapointed by comedies, especially if they involve Ben Stiller. But rarely by a drama.

Good day eh!!
