BIZARRE - KKK Casino, Henny Youngman Returns - Army Sketch

[@fuzzynuts8129]

This was during the times where we could laugh at ourselves and each other and just have fun. Not nowadays where everyone is so offended just by a sneeze.

[@realazduffman]

As someone who has bad hay fever I gotta say you should not make fun of sneezing.

[@dougankrum3328]

Hey, Hey now...no more sneezing...only coughs are going to be allowed...

[@joonaknuutinen5540]

not everyone gets offended, just the loud moronic minority. most of us are still normal. its just that media gets more money publishing whatever these colourful haired fishmouths say..

[@baileyjaykurihara-ryder9801]

@@joonaknuutinen5540 well said and so true. The internet has made the whole world all PC and big brother at the same time.

[@jen3800]

yup. welcome to the age of the Anus. i miss the 70's . all this PC shit started in the 80's and it's all downhill since. comics won't tour universities for a reason and it ain't covid

[@biblethumpr2161]

Canadian comedy at its best................before the P C police ruined everything.

[@trxxxtr]

I LOVED this show back when it was on showtime late at night...John B. is a genius and deserves alot more respect then he gets. he was very talented and funny as shit! lol. This show gave us super Dave Osbourne as well!

[@Patriotgal1]

OMG- is that where Super Dave came from?

[@drogoreuak1347]

it was a show that was Canada's version of Benny Hill. Naughty but so charming and funny.

[@Darkasknightfall]

Bizarre was the best comedy show. Miss those days. 👍🏼

[@elmoomle4565]

Triple K Kasino...outstanding comedy.

[@BinaryJoe]

This is funnier than anything on TV nowadays. ...and the cast; the interviewer in the Johnny Bucks sketch is the voice of the old Marvel Comics cartoons from the 60's, Billy van of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein is a regular, Bob Einstein is Albert Brooks' brother...and Henny freakin' Youngman. What a crazy time it would have been to be in TV in the early 80's.

[@joeboyko8013]

Holy Shit! BIZARRE! When I was a kid we used to have access to CHCH-TV 11 out of Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Canada. As a kid, I was pleasantly shocked that they showed tits on television. As I got older, I couldn't believe the politically incorrect humor that they got away with. This show was so awesome... I'll mention this show to people today and all I get are blank stares. Nobody remembers this show. I'll have to point them all here.

[@dalemcilwain]

You will not get a blank stare from me. American from New York City (Birthplace of John Byner). In fact, you will see my eyes pop out in amazement. Couldn't see the ta-ta's on American TV. But it was very funny.

[@scotti.6433]

@@dalemcilwain, and it was prime time network television in Canada, Fridays at 8:30 pm.

Back when cable TV was young.. And so was i.

[@massapower]

Comedy at its finest and insulting everyone. Time for another series like this 😁👍

[@barstar888]

It’s not that it was insulting it was that it was clever. If he had come out and just used slurs without context it wouldn’t be funny but the writers and comedians of the period were actually clever. I agree though, comedy at its finest!

[@pfflyer3381]

6:00+- Super Dave Osborn, (David Einstein), ALBERT Brooks' brother. Now you know why, AL changed his Hollywood name!

[@TheRealCaptainJamesTKirk]

I remember watching this when I was a little kid with my dad.

[@spacemanmonster23]

This show never held back!!

[@Inlinetodie]

Once I heard the theme song, I totally recall this show and being skirted off to bed before I could finish the first act 🎬

[@richardrae9692]

Man I watched this stuff on reruns as a kid. Didnt realize it formed so much of my humour.

[@FUGP72]

That sound you head was the heads of every wokie exploding over the slot machine payout.

[@RanknFileX]

Wow! I must admit I remember this show well!! I was a young teenager when it played here in Canada (it was a Canadian show). I laughed my ass off and yet, I can totally understand why Bizarre could not be on TV today. I forgot how much of a positive affect it had on me. BTW, didn't Bob Einstein just die recently?? Man, I loved his Super Dave Osborne routines and those "interrupt the sketch and walk off set with John Byner" endings they did to some of their comedy clips. So much of the content of this show, reflects the politics of the day (this episode was from 1982 or so). There was a white, male backlash (I am a white, Anglican, male, hetro., trade union activist) going on in North America to the Civil Rights, Black Power, Brown Power, the American Indian Movement (A.I.M.) and the feminist social uprisings of the 60's and 70's. People were also pissed off at labour unions too. I remember as a kid, people saying and believing that "unions were driving business away," and unionized workers had gotten, "fat and lazy." That gave rise to the thinly-veiled racist and anti-union (remember the air traffic controllers) "Reagan Revolution," campaign and Reagan's reassertion of an "Imperial Presidency" throughout the 1980's. Also don't forget Reagan was buddy-buddy with Thatcher in the UK and Mulroney here in Canada. I remember the open reappearance of far-right and white nationalist organizations like the KKK, neo-Nazis, the Aryan Nation, so-called patriotic militias (see the author Kathleen Belew) and outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMG's) like the Hells Angels. I would write a paper on these far-right and racist groups in university at the end of the 80's. Then there was the "moral panics" of the 1980's against things like kids getting snatched "right off the street in daylight" (some people will remember the kids on the sides of milk cartons), the brain-numbing video games like Pac-man and then a wee bit later in the decade, the "demonic" fantasy games like D&D (see Season 3 or 4 of Stranger Things on Netflix). BTW, the opening sketch of this episode struck me as sooooo typical of Canadian humour 🤣🤣🤣. If you look past the clearly improv sketch John Byner is engaging with the audience members, familiar to Americans and Canadians alike, you can see that typical, sophisticated word-playing, self-deprecating sense of Canadian humour. Singling out the Asian man and asking him about the cancellation of Barney Miller (LOVED that show!), the plus size woman and man, respectively, as Lonnie Anderson and Clint Eastwood...??! LOL! That is typical of a lot of Canadian humour. We love, love, love to make make fun ourselves. Think of comedians like Wayne and Shuster, Mike Myers, Ryan Reynolds, Jim Carrey (in his younger years), etc. Again, it was a great episode!! Thanks for posting. 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

Even the MADtv had a sketch which was racial humor... the black experience in a candy bar commercial called Sn*****$, it was a 3 time sketch, the last one features the KKK having a backyard barbecue, and Aries Spears shows up with a gas can and asked if he could get some gas from them. He realizes he's in the wrong part of town so they go after him, and Pat Kilbane's voiceover says "Going to be here for a while? Have a Sn*****s bar!"

[@daviddavenport1485]

All this show needs is a future Bobby Lee from the show Mad Tv. “Uh oh! Hot Dog!” He would’ve fit in perfectly. Go watch his podcasts, Bad Friends, and Tiger Belly.

Not too keen on how Byner made a joke out of the woman in the audience he referred to sarcastically as Loni Anderson. Poor taste. Rude as hell.
