Bob and Doug McKenzie in SCTV Origin of Famous Joke

In the video SCTV Origin of Famous Joke, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a couple of odd Canadian brothers who starred in “Great White North”, a program which was streamed on SCTV – second city television for the show’s most popular season when it moved to the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in . The character Bob McKenzie is created by comic Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie’s part is played by actor Dave Thomas. Regardless the fact it was born originally as an idea to both follow guidelines and mock silly Canadian content guidelines, the two turned into a pop culture smash hit in both Canada and the US. The pair soon became the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
