SCTV - Half Wits championship with promo

[@NevadaBoss]

"How are you spelling flower?" LOL. Man, this show was so damn brilliant...#WesleyWins

[@PhilMante]

The first SCTV skit I ever saw 😆 laughed so hard.

[@christopherthorkon3997]

Love that the announcer is called "Johnny Ola." Fun Godfather reference.

[@arthuridis]

Also a play on Johnny Olson, a famed beloved announcer til the mid 1980's

[@donkrouskop1743]

The thing is if there was a game show in which all the contestants were this stupid & they had to keep coming back until someone won, it would be a smash ratings hit. Everybody would tune in to this trainwreck every single day, just to see how bad it would get, and if anyone would ever actually get an answer correct.

[@arthuridis]

Give it time, the way society is evolving. It may very well become reality sooner than you think.

[@TheASM196]

Actually there is such a show now, it is called 2023 Congress in the USA.

[@arthuridis]

@@TheASM196 Yes.

[@Llamabanger]

We’re deep into double ironies, SCTV the best. BUT this skit was totally off, shows how delicate while being totally irreverent is not easy.

[@clare1855]

@@TheASM196 AMEN

[@adinocc2042]

IMAO, SCTV is the number one, best sketch comedy show. With Monty Python as a close second.

[@MentalLiberation]

And that show had the Upper Class Twit of the year competition. Hilarious

[@KneedleKnees]

"This is a tricky one." "A trick ball?"

[@gettyz]

pretty sure it's a fur ball... is it alexson?

[@SSgtChitEPanz]

..... ......... ............. a fur ball?

[@jeffstewart3342]

Without a doubt the funniest shit I ever seen. When i was a stupid teenager i would look forward to late nite t.v. especially on Saturday night.

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

There's already a Comedy Gold repeat of this skit on KZbin, but this reminds me of when I was a boy with an amazing sense of humour.

[@skiorsnowboard]

You were a boy with an amazing sense of humor? So then what happened 😅🤣

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

@@skiorsnowboard Yep! Watched it on the ORIGINAL Comedy Network as a kid that is now CTV Comedy Channel. They used to show classics too.

“It opens and closes, and there’s usually a bad looking guy inside.”

[@fattymatty5380]

I mean, who couldn't figure that one out?

[@squatch545]

This is like Congress.

[@Neville60001]

Under Trump and other Republicans, yes. Under Barack Obama and Joe Biden, no.

[@kevinkelley3906]

HAHAHA!! Absolutely right.

[@elijahrobinson2362]

@@Neville60001you’re a putz. The POTUS doesn’t control Congress, the respective parties do. Both are guilty, but if you think the Dems are good representatives you’re in need of shock therapy and heavy medication.

[@TheCreatureWorksStudio]

Martin Short slaying it lol

[@RT-qy6vg]

"Right-O Alex!" hahahaha

[@bitfenix90]

Just the concept is hilarious.

[@steveclayton2353]

I watched a half-wits one time and when they showed whatn they could win they showed a close up of a record player and kept zooming in till they announced they were playing for the record players needle.Bawahahahahaha,LMAO

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

Man, Eugene Levy's black curly wig is longer than the one in the last two Half Wits skits.

[@PikesvilleAl]

So is Joe's nose

[@everyoneash]

This inspired celebrity Jeopardy right....

[@elijahrobinson2362]

Wesley’s hair, and his powder blue turtleneck with an ugly green tie 🤣

[@fattymatty5380]

This is my favorite skit with John Hemphill He was hilarious on Schitt's Creek

[@crissgerwing694]

Oh what a hoot! 🤪🙃🤪

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

i know ppl like Lawrence. Awesome people. he acted really accurate for sure.

[@steelers6titles]

Maybe those hand-modeling classes Lawrence took finally paid off for him lol. Now he can afford hair plugs and speech therapy.

[@derekdash2179]

Yes sir!

[@steelers6titles]

Lawrence Orbach must have got himself an agent. When last seen, he had been evicted and all his stuff was sitting outside lol

[@steelers6titles]

Johnny Ola--character in The Godfather, Part II lol

[@JorgeVelezMusic]

I died when I heard his name hahaha

[@kiethblack3870]

Lawrence Orbach! Ha ha! Martin was already perfect BEFORE he started his movie career & later television stuff. It's my opinion, but he never got any funnier or better than his SCTV days. Again, my opinion.

[@TimCarter]

Turd Ferguson first tried out for this show.

[@tahmkruz3016]

Lawrence is the best

[@ElectrickSoundz]

Nice break down under

[@adamwarlock3530]

"What does deduct mean?"

I plan to invest it wisely. 😂😂😂😂😅😅😊❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

The buzzer means SHUT UP

[@williampoole1742]

Wesley and Lawrence look so STUPID 🤣🤣🤣 dude those two NAILED it!!!

[@fjccommish]

Can I see this Half Wits show on TV?

[@Imintune...]

Marty looks like pierre Trudeau in that hair.

[@LotusLady9]

So funny!

[@heidimueller1039]

What a “half wit” remark!

[@marcschneider4845]

The answer to "Famous" would be the Kardashians since they are famous for being famous.

[@curtgottler9961]

Why is Alex Trebel so exasperated, he KNOWS they're halfwits already.

[@zombiedodge1426]

So what *do* you call these red white and blue balls? They were very common when I was a kid. There's even one on the Barenaked Ladies' "Gordon" album cover.

[@Alsatiagent]

I recall they degraded at a predictable rate.

[@elijahrobinson2362]

Pepsi balls. They look almost like the Pepsi logo.

[@steelers6titles]

At least Jackie Rogers Jr. had TALENT, man. Dig?

[@bln3576]

This is the Canadian government

[@Neville60001]

No, it's not.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

They're no wits.

[@SuperAgentman007]

They should’ve actually called the skit stupid morons😂 but on the serious side the Alex Trebek the real one was ask a question who would you want to replace you on Jeopardy and he chose Eugene Levy because he looked like Alex Trebek did in his early TV years

[@paulberthold932]

Who is playing Wesley?

[@andyrose5616]

John Hemphill

[@paulberthold932]

@@andyrose5616was he a regular? I don’t remember him.

[@andyrose5616]

@@paulberthold932 He was sort of a featured player, never in the main cast. “Happy Hour,” the children’s show that takes place in a bar, was probably his biggest recurring bit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXLRhGudZa2bf7M

[@hushabyehum4805]

They make it too complicated for the contestants and never make it easier despite the title of their show😢

[@marcschneider4845]

Yes, "Pythagorean Theory." I don't think any of these contestants would quite get that.

[@ge484]

tell the host their half wits and go w the flo i here he beat his kids,,,,jk,,,

[@mohammedcohen]

HALF wits is giving the panel far too much credit

[@SaintD382]

The ABA basketball was gone and SCTV refused to give the WNBA ball credence.

[@marcschneider4845]

Well, I don't think the WNBA existed back then.

This is a bad one.
