Bob and Doug McKenzie in Wendys 1981 Dave Thomas Commercial

In the video Wendys 1981 Dave Thomas Commercial, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a group of hysterical Canadian comedians who were featured in “Great White North”, a program which was televised on second city television for the show’s 3rd season when it was broadcast on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the 80’s. Bob is acted by comedian Rick Moranis and the character Doug is brought to life by Dave Thomas. Although created originally as a skit to both satisfy and laugh about stupid Canadian content policies, the duo transformed into a pop culture hit in both Canada and across the border. The McKenzie siblings later became the focus of a famous comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
