Bob and Doug McKenzie in Strange Brew (1983)

In the video Strange Brew (1983), Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of odd Canadian actors who were featured in “Great White North”, a ad lib skit which was introduced on second city television for the show’s third season when it was featured on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in 1980. The character Bob McKenzie is performed by comic Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie’s part is brought to life by Dave Thomas. Which was made originally as a sketch to both fulfill and laugh at legal Canadian content legislation, the pair morphed into a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and across the border. The pair became the focus of a bestselling comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
