Reaction To The Red Green Show (Handyman Corner) Classic Canadian TV Comedy
This is my reaction to The Red Green Show (Handyman Corner) Classic Canadian TV Comedy
In this video I react to the Handyman Corner skit from The Red Green Show. Many people told me about this Canadian comedy television show so I thought I had to make a reaction to it and it didn't disappoint. The show stars Canadian comedian Steve Smith as the aforementioned Red Green.

There are so many great little shows: Royal Canadian Air Farce, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Kids In The Hall, Corner Gas, Wayne and Shuster. We seem to excel at polite, yet self deprecating, and corny humOur.

I grew up with this show because it was originally a skit on Smith & Smith in the early 1980s. Another great skit from that show was The Inventor which was an entirely different character from Red Green, but pretty clearly the precursor of Handyman Corner. When the Red Green Show started shooting in Hamilton, my mom took me to see the taping. Then we saw tapings a few years later in London, Ontario. It was seriously funny stuff to be there live. They were constantly cracking jokes between takes and having fun with the audience. The show started out small and not widely known, but it got picked up by Global, a big private TV network, and was renamed the New Red Green Show for a while, and then finally ended up on CBC where it became a cultural phenomenon by the late 1990s - books, movies, TV commercials, etc.

I went to elementary school with Dave and Max Smith (the kids); Dave was in my class. Having such a well-known Dad (locally back in the day), I remember going over to their house once to play with Dave and when Steve Smith opened the door, I said, "Hello, Steve" as I walked in. He said, "glad we're on a first name basis, Jon.". I typically would have addressed friends' parents as Mr. or Mrs. Smith, but I saw all their names on the opening credits of each show so I got real life and TV life mixed up a bit as a kid. :)

Handyman Corner is great and all, but the Red Green Show really shines as a unit. Yeah, it's sketch comedy, and each segment stands on its' own merit, but the cohesive nature of the characters interacting with each other at the Lodge create wonderful transitions between the sketches. Come to think of it, I can't think of anything like Red Green that came after. Wayne and Shuster did sketch comedy before them, but nothing came after. So Mert, please watch a full episode. There's a whole host of zany, wonderful, flawed characters.

I think it's that way with a lot of comedies. CBC Radio(!) had a Saturday morning comedy program called Dr. Bundolo's Pandemonium Medicine Show starring Bill Reiter. They taped some episodes at UBC, and believe me, a uni is a tough audience. But it was hysterical to watch, often because of miscues, or enjoying the foley man and his sound effect device, and especially the scores of casual and often crude remarks made by the cast between bits or after a flub. They must have trimmed 75% of what we heard away for show that actually aired. I caught the finished episode at my Saturday job and it was nothing near as funny as what we heard at school.

I remember a documentary about the show. They had a live audience for portions of it. And, for the ending credits, they would get audience members to come in and act as members of the lodge. The crew would hand out wooden clothespins with duct tape on them to audience members, to indicate that those people could be in the lodge credits scene. After a few months, people started making their own duct tape clothespins! They had counterfeit clothespins! There was also a movie, Duct Tape Forever. Just as good as the show.

There are few things as quintessentially Canadian as Red Green. This show is legendary and universally appreciated here. Adventures with Bill was usually the favorite bit in our house

Oh man, I love Red Green. It’s not a show I think of often, but it’s always like a welcome surprise whenever I hear someone mention it or I see a clip. There were a lot of skits in the later seasons with a variety of supporting characters that was also very funny, and there was always something wholesome and charming about the blurry line between genius and absurdity in Red’s creations.

I've always found this show funny as a kid, but it gets even funnier looking back now that I'm in my 40's. It makes it even funnier that my dad was a handyman and looked exactly like this guy Steve. Great memories!

Corny humour but totally endearing nevertheless. Absolutely amazing how the show’s crew manages to create these handyman “solutions”. I always loved his fixes using duct tape as a remedy for almost every problem in and around the home. (I don’t recall ever seeing “Bernice” though. 😅) 🇨🇦🥰❤️

LOVED, LOVED Steve Smith and the Red Green show! As I recall, it started in the very early '90s and ran for 15, or so years. There are so many outstanding Possum Lodge episodes, every one is funny but many of them will have you rolling on the floor. Patrick McKenna who played Red's nephew Harold was absolutely brilliant in the show. Couple of sayings from the show: If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy 😅 Keep your stick on the ice 😅 and of course, the handyman's secret weapon (duct tape) 😅

My favourite parts were "My adventures with Bill", "The Exports", and "The Word Game". The guy who played Bill is Rick Green, who is part of The Frantics comedy troupe. I highly recommend listening to Boot to the Head. Another regular was Graham Green; yes, the guy from Dances with Wolves. My absolute favourite comedy show was Corner Gas. If you want to go way back, then there's Wayne and Shuster - The Brown Pumpernickel, Rinse the Blood from my Toga.

It makes me so happy to see you watching Red Green for the first time. At one point, Red Green was making handy items out of duct tape, which he named the "Handyman's secret weapon". People began writing in to get the instructions. I think the most popular was the duct tape wallet. It looked really good!

This man instilled so much wisdom in this show. Including The handman's secret wepon duct tape If it ain't broke you're not trying If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy Remeber I'm pulling for you, we're all in this together. And closed out every show with the following 3 phrases. Keep your stick on the ice Quando omni flunkus, moritati (when all else fails, play dead) And thr man's prayer: I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.

Great reaction!! I've watched Red Green since day one, and it was a hilarious series! Steve Smith (actual name of Red Green) is a comedic genius!! What I've always loved with Handyman's Corner is that in some strange way - his ideas 'do' work...kind of! There is merit to his ideas, no matter how outlandish and seemingly ridiculous. Of course, most fail spectacularly - but as a mechanical engineer myself, I note all the things that 'could' work with his hairbrained ideas! The parallel parking lift - yes, it could work. The poolside track/caterpillar system - heck, it DID work (won't be good at higher speed, but he drove that car, and it did exactly what he designed it to do!) There are so, SO many others that could be watched, reviewed, and certainly laughed at! Yes, his catch phrases are thus: "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy"; Duct tape is a "handyman's secret weapon"; and at the end of most episodes, there is the Possum Lodge meeting where the members recite 'the man's prayer': "I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to...I guess".
