  • I love when Geddy Lee guested on their song and he says, “Well ten bucks is ten bucks” lol

    On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a beer.

    A “Hoser” is the losing hockey team had to scrape the ice and hose it down..before the Zamboni came along.

    I was in 8th grade when their movie came out. I loved it and bought the soundrack album (vinyl) - it had Rush on it, probably the most famous Candadian rock band.
  • @thewaryears
    I bought their album back in '81. Never got tired of listening. Yeah, Letterman, Canada is full of hosers.

    Letterman was one of the best comedic hosts with his humble wit. I stopped watching SNL and fell in love with SCTV, the cast was so talented! I laughed so hard when Dave and Rick came up with THE GREAT WHITE NORTH, what a great Canadian Treasure.
  • @Icthy_ankles
    I liked how in the Movie Brother Bear the two Moose which were voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas acted like Bob and Doug Mckenzie.
  • Rick Moranis was a comic genius the likes of we'll never see again. Before Wayne's World or Beavis n Butthead, there was Bob and Doug Mckenzie.
  • @austinricky
    Amazing how much was inspired by this. Fubar, letterkenny, hockey movies, trailer park boys
  • @dwaynecoy1871
    The best character that Dave Thomas did on his SCTV show was his impression of Bob Hope. He was fantastic and it's as funny as anything I've ever seen on SCTV. He didn't do it often, but when he did, he nailed it.

    When I lived in Canada, I used to love these guys. It's been years. I moved back to the states for family but really miss Toronto.
  • For a lot of Americans, Bob and Doug represented the first time they saw characters who were distinctively Canadian. Before that, all we knew were hockey players.
  • @mrs.g.9816
    I still have the LP, "The Great White North". I was a student at Buffalo State College in the earl 1980's. I, my future husband, and all my friends at the college were all nuts about Bob and Doug McKenzie!
  • @tootired76
    Some people think Minnesota is southern Canada. Oh Yah, you betcha!!
  • One showing of Strange Brew at a drive in movie....we were all Canadian!
  • @ozharms
    One of my favourite Bob & Doug skits of all time, especially the backbacon bit.
  • @6Sierra
    I wrote a script with Dave Thomas in 2013. Amazing dude and exceptional writer. Still waiting for it to go to camera 😂😂😂
  • "My burps are giving me whiplash!" Loved you guys in Detroit and Kalamazoo.
  • I remember watching this movie for the first time at Thunderbird Lanes in Detroit.
