Losing John Candy was like losing a good friend.

[@Theomite]

Said everyone ever.

[@SatansSimgma]

Always hated the guy. This is the least inspired bit I've seen.

[@charlier711]

Well stated. My roommate used to say he was everybody's guy.

[@brentamania89]

Same thing with Robin Williams

[@GreenIris1110]

The people of Sheboygan, they loved it!!!.... 623 copies sold!!

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

They actually caused a riot in Hamtramck. Several restaurants were looted of cabbage rolls and coffee and you could follow the trail of paczkis leading to the Leutonian Senior Center Theater and Pickling Plant. It was a real mess.

[@marcuswalls9701]

They loved it 😂😂😂

[@jamesanthony8438]

When I was young boy in Leutonia, I was wanting always to grow up to be third Shmenge brother, but then as I grew older, I realize that no, I cannot be third Shmenge because I had different parents than Yosh and Stan. But that did not stop me from the dreaming. =)

[@rgjerde53]

Doc Severinsen playing trumpet for the Shmenges -- could be one of his career highlights. The Shmenges retired way too soon.

[@classicrockalbumreviews19]

One classic album after another . The polka remains the same . A night at the Polka Appetite for Polka

[@terencediamond356]

I thought that was him.

[@JasonNation72]

Hey, it's Gus Polinski from the Kenosha Kickers! Polka Polkaaah Polka.

[@jeshkam]

Polka Twist?

[@PanhandleFrank]

Polinski just announced he's gonna pull his music off Spotify until they drop Joe Rogan ... true story!

[@lionelhutz5137]

Kiss me polka?

[@monjul131]

Great parody of the early Polka music, cabbage rolls and cofee. Jash Schmenge is priceless

[@eaglerare22]

I still mourn John Candy's leaving us.

[@rgwebb5165]

I was there for Strikes, Spares, and Schmenges. Leutonia's greatest export.

[@unzarjones]

Every time I see old phone numbers I want to call them to see who answers, but don't, in case its the Twilight Zone.

[@Theomite]

You have learned well grasshopper.

[@PanhandleFrank]

DO IT!!

Had no idea young Eugene Levy was buddies with John Candy. That’s awesome…

[@dougb4867]

They were on SCTV together with Martin Short annd Harold Ramis annd Catherine O’Hara and knew each other since the 70’s.

[@tundrascott181]

Watch SCTV from the '80s brother. Basically the whole cast of then young Canadians in Toronto all became massive comedy superstars worldwide.

[@dougdumbrill7234]

That trumpet player’s not bad!!! 😉

[@atworkstation]

RIP John Candy (1950-1994).

[@imasportsphileiii6483]

atworkstation, thanks for your comment....and glad you enjoyed one of the 1500+ vintage sports, comedy and music videos that were posted this past year at www.imasportsphile.com....and since we have 9,000 more videos to post over the next 5 - 6 years....you should bookmark our page and not rely on utube....cuz our 100 different channels under different names on the tube is cuz we use them as weigh stations for our 2300 hours of vintage content that we are posting on our page.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

With Shmenges you know you got something

[@pressureworks]

I hope the audience was served Cabbage Rolls a& Coffee !

[@mr.niceguy1812]

Mmm mmm good!

[@fjccommish]

Why wouldn't they be served it...unless somebody else maybe ate all the cabbage rolls and drank all the coffee. You never know with all those Hollywood types of people - they don't get good cabbage rolls and coffee all the time over there in California. Why would they? It's too close to maybe the ocean where the salt water makes the cabbage rolls not rise the right way for making them.

[@sixtieskid062]

Polka Polka, Kiss Me Polka AKA Polka Twist.

[@DellaStreet123]

@@sheriffburfordt.justice4488 Polkas all sound a bit alike, I don't think I'd would want to listen to an entire night of nothing but Polka -- but a few minutes of raunchy swinging in a 2/4 measure can be fun. And playing dancing music always looks easier than it really is. The Shmenge brothers are goofy characters, but they play pretty well.

[@Benjy9845]

Very big in Sheboygan

[@ianboard544]

You could play this in some places and they wouldn't realize it was comedy.

[@AndrzejzBuffalo]

...and that's the great thing about it. It's a little fake, and a lot real. It doesn't demean people who like polka music. Very unlike Borat, in its treatment of "other" people.

Right at the end you can see Doc Severenson trying not to laugh with all of those false endings. Hilarious!

[@dicktingley4205]

We are glad you enjoyed this video....for our comedy section at our ImaSportsphile webpage has many vintage comedy clips of comedians that deserve to have their work remember by those who are too soon forgetting....and this is classic John Candy stuff.

[@MrTallguy66]

luved watching sctv it was hiliarious

[@canadiandeplorable2087]

Watching on mushrooms. The best thing I’ve ever seen in my life 😃👍

[@robertatwood7736]

How many accordions does Gene own?! It seems he has a new accordion in every video!

[@mhrgall]

you can never have enough accordians!

[@fjccommish]

A good polka man has many of the accordions because it has to be sound good for the music.

[@patricialambert3110]

They really should have been on Lawrence Welk, he probably would have had them, too--seriously!

[@PanhandleFrank]

Are you kidding?! Did you ever see Lawrence Welk's Gail Farrell and Dick Dale sing "One Toke Over The Line" with a straight face?! "A modern American spiritual!" There's a dozen copies on KZbin ... find one and enjoy!!

Wow, did Levy and Candy actually PLAY those things?!

Yes they did

[@brendarodgers5686]

Eugene did play accordion, and Candy faked the clarinet very well.

So this is what he was talking about in home alone
