Man, I miss this show and over the last few years, they would have had a comedic goldmine

[@panowa8319]

Only Graham Greene, a dramatic actor, can do such great comedy with a straight face.

[@trajan231]

Now the native guy was ok. Should've gotten an Emmy. The rest of the show was a yawn.

[@PuppetMaster8707]

My all time favorite Graham Greene roll is when he played the Demoltion Specialist on The Red Green Show

[@reesf743]

Edgar Montrose 💥

[@eleanorlamont7375]

May Edgar K P Montrose live forever!!!!

[@user-ik4xq9hm1x]

@@eleanorlamont7375 Ka Pow! 😂

[@shawnattwells5355]

"You look familiar, weren't you in that movie, Dances with Wolves?" "Yes I was." "What was your name?" "Kevin Costner." LOL

[@eleanorlamont7375]

This is SO awesome!!!!!! So proud to be a Canadian and it is so much fun to be able to "get it" when it comes to the humour.

[@auntyJanette]

This made me laugh out loud. Thank you. Brilliant.

[@debbie4503]

I love Graham Greene! 😂

[@terrencemarble5582]

Love Graham Greene! I think my favorite role wasn't in "Dancing With Wolves". It was as Edgar "K.B." Montrose on "The Red Green Show"! My favorite character on the show! KABOOM!

[@NoNamesLeft0102]

It does make him difficult to watch in any somewhat serious role when you automatically imagine nitro glycerine being used as liberally as duct tape

[@movieman9100]

Many of today's American comedians can learn something from this.

[@jenwatson2623]

So love him! That was great thank you!

[@Quacks0]

2:25 I always get a kick out of Graham's beaming affably-pleasant smile when he "breaks the fourth wall" here :D

[@arnaudmenard5114]

It reminds me a bit of bug's bunny, in that smirky way

[@annriley6436]

❤️ Graham Green... 😂😂😂

[@canadian_ray_finkleeh9019]

"Well there goes neighbourhood"😂😂

[@Quacks0]

"Reason for visit?" "Weason?! I am here to CLAIM ZIS LAND for ze glory of LA FRANCE!" "Well, there goes the neighborhood..." :D

[@CJODell12]

In 1997, "The Red Green Show" moved from Global to CBC, and in 1998, CBC moved Red Green to Friday nights right after RCAF. I mention this because Graham Greene played Edgar K.B. Montrose on RGS.

[@jenniferwills9752]

He's edgar montrose?

[@trajan231]

I heard the RGS was the lead in for Air Farce

[@gailcbull]

My favourite Air Farce skit! Love it!

[@MichaelBrookham]

Don't claim the land, Cartier. Edgar K. B. Montrose wants to blow it up!

[@Geenine44]

Magic!

[@Quacks0]

2:50 LOL --- I love how Graham Greene just stands by emotionless and sarcastically stoic while Cartier does his indignant rant. :D :P

[@LongForgottenJ]

Thank you for posting one of my favourite bits!

[@Quacks0]

1:00 I love how the actor who plays Cartier contemptuously looks Graham Greene's character up and down with a show of deep disdain :P :D

[@huntinglightning3507]

2:26 "I love this job." 😏 Me: I love this man. 😁

[@sandrahope5316]

This is incredibly awesome! Made me laugh, hoot, and cheer. The lines are great and the meaning heartfelt. Sweet nectar for my soul.

[@lorrainericardo8680]

love it

[@marioescalante4401]

Omg Roger Abbott had a “Billy Two Willies” First Nations character lol

[@pbabuik]

This was one of many I saw live when they taped it I was 11 years old Saw two Mike from canmore sketches One chicken cannon episode( the maple leaf gardens target) One episode where Jean Chretien appeared

[@bluebear1985]

One episode I remember where Chretien appeared was the same sketch where Pamela Wallin also happened to pop up.

[@pbabuik]

@bluebear1985 that was the one . They also filmed a Mike from Canmore sketch there too but it never aired cause it wasn't that funny

[@bluebear1985]

@pbabuik One thing I remember is that at one point, the real Chretien told Roger Abbott (who was still in character as Chretien at that moment) that he actually sounded a bit more like Preston Manning with his impression.😁

[@FabledHeroes3351]

Lord have mercy if this had actually been a thing back then 😂😂😂😂

[@narlyandtuff101]

HAHA I am Dogrib, Dene. Good ol Graham Greene :-D

[@Quacks0]

2:49 LOL I love Graham's casually-sarcastic and totally-unimpressed facial-expression as "Cartier" blusters through his lengthy-spiel tirade about how important and "high-toned high-society" he is :P :D

[@Beth9228]

Very funny.

[@GorskiNunavut]

Luv it!

[@DannySG1]

It’s been a long time since the channel had anything to do with learning!

[@fixinman]

When Graham Said "I love this job." Did he mean being an immigration officer or being an indian actor playing an indian customs agent?

[@andrewphillips8341]

How about just being a mighty manly man?

[@DarthAverage]

Yes.

[@EnigmasExpeditions]

Both XD

[@mham1330]

Go Natives!

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

dude, this is funny

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

dude, this is funny! 😊😊😊

[@Nita.C.Yorack]

2:57 Same here

[@MaskedMan66]

Greene better mind he doesn't get lead poisoning, licking that pencil!

[@Quacks0]

+MaskedMan66 lol... yeah, and he is using the "native tongue" that he speaks about to lick the pencil, too :D (Now, actually, of course, pencil-cores are no longer made of the heavy-metal lead; they are made from a less toxic "graphite mixed with a clay binder" [thanks, wikipedia!], which is probably not all that toxic, but still should not be ingested)

[@MaskedMan66]

Quacks0 Yes, funny that they're both speaking English... Eating rocks in general isn't really a good idea.

[@rosemcguinn5301]

Pencils are made of GRAPHITE, you ignoramus.
