'SCTV' was a great show from my childhood. Being Canadian made, maybe it was always more geared towards our enjoyment because it is SOOOO Canadian. Yosh and Stan Schmenge (John Candy and Eugene Levy) were my favorite Polka Kings. Their accents crack me up and were often imitated by me and my buddies in University. You just needed to start a chorus of "Cabbage Rolls and Coffee" in any student bar and EVERYONE knew the song. The mockumentary 'The Last Polka' is a great comedy you need to be on the lookout for if you like this kind of goofy humor. In fact, you can see the entire thing on You Tube. Part one can be seen below. Then follow to each additional part. Be on the lookout for many famous faces.

Funny stuff, to be sure!
Loved those characters, loved that show until they started bringing on too many American 'comedians.'
I grew up on SCTV. One of my all time favorites. RIP Yosh Schmenge
Cabbage rolls and coffee -- mmm mmm good!
Next to Count Floyd and Edith Prickly, my favorites....not to mention Sammy Maudlin.
