Bob and Doug McKenzie in Silence

In the video Silence, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a group of fictional Canadian brothers who are responsible for “Great White North”, a skit which was shown on SCTV for the show’s most watched season when it moved to the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the 80’s. Bob’s character is played by hilarious comedian Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie is performed by actor Dave Thomas. The sketch was created originally as an idea to both please and laugh at stupid Canadian content policies, the two turned into a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the United States. The McKenzie brothers soon became the focus of a classic comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
