Bob and Doug McKenzie in Echo

In the video Echo, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of odd Canadian brothers who starred in “Great White North”, a program which was introduced on second city television for the show’s third season when it aired by the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in 1980. Bob’s part is played by comic Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie’s part is acted by comic Dave Thomas. The bit was created originally as filler to both fulfill and laugh about non sensical Canadian content laws, the pair transformed into a pop culture success in both Canada and the US. The brothers became the focus of a classic comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
