CCCP1: Uposcrabblenyk/What Fits Into Russia

One of the best skits ever done on the old SCTV program. Their spoofing of Russian television was brilliant. Thanks to Dr Goat for reminding me of this classic.

I loved the old SCTV show. It was brilliantly hilarious. I especially loved the Hey Jorgy sketch. It was like a Russian Parody of King of Kensington. And blaming Uzbeks for everything was hysterical.

"Don't give them matches!" The weak link in the great chain of socialism - too funny

I think that old SCTV skits are some of the funniest things around. They had a game show called Revenge, hosted by a goateed russian guy played by Dave Thomas that was a scream. There was also a skit with the Apollo astronauts putting on a play 'Death in the Cathedral' that still puts me on the floor.

Do you remember the skit called "King of the Popes?" My friends ask me to do it for them all the time but they claim I invented it and it never existed.
