Bob and Doug McKenzie in Rick Moranis’ plant devours Steve Martin

In the video Rick Moranis’ plant devours Steve Martin, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a group of strange Canadian brothers who hosted “Great White North”, a improv which was broadcast on second city television for the show’s most watched season when it braodcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in in the early 80s. The character Bob McKenzie is performed by actor Rick Moranis and Doug’s character is performed by comic Dave Thomas. Despite brought to life originally as filler to both fulfill and laugh at legal Canadian content policies, the brothers turned into a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and across the border. The two soon became the focus of a classic comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
