The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day was shot in 3B. Three beers! And it looks good, eh?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
After Dudley Do-Right, Bob and Doug McKenzie were my introduction to the strange world of Canadians. These drunken ambassadors did much for Canadian/American relations, eh?
These hoseheads made a fun movie called Strange Brew that features a comically large Rick Moranis getting so filled with beer that he puts out a fire with his own pee (take that Gulliver’s Travels! These hosers did it before you and a hundred times funnier). I’ve always loved these two going back to their SCTV days and this flick was an early favorite of mine. It’s actually been a few years since I’ve seen it. I think it’s time for a revisit?
So, here’s Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas goofing off with the camera! Enjoy, you knobs! Click for the bigger version, eh.
Tomorrow’s behind the scenes pic is another Rick Moranis movie, but he’s not featured. Okay, who brought the dog?

It's mentioned in the article.

How can you not? Max von Sydow plays the villain. Funny to watch it now and see the old Toronto police cars.

You know the one with the scripted dialog you read off the jacket to make it appear your riffing with Bob and Doug?

I wish I had the record on vinyl. I only have it on CD.
by Royston Lodge
Some of the jokes only really work on vinyl. Sigh.
-
Waynes World is Bob & Doug incarnent.
-
Moranis is such an underrated comic actor. "My Blue Heaven" is a gem. Really, would-be producers of Ghost Busters 3: if you can't get Moranis to cameo, fold the tents and give it up.
-
As in , he does things that are right and just, not that he takes good shits...
-
I no longer had any doubts about the genius of either of the two stars (who wrote and directed as well, by the way) once I realized that the whole film was a modern version of Hamlet told through the eyes of Rosencrantz and Guilderstern...I still prefer it to Tom Stoppard's film version. Too much STRAAAAAAAAAANGE BREWWWWWW
-
I hope it's a pic of the whored up Sigourney and not just a btsp of the stay puft marshmallow man.

...but I won't ... because I need you! As a 41-year-old Canadian ... this movie is biblical to me.

Ok eh, todays topic is like....what are you doin' hoser? Take off, eh... Love the McKenzie's. Haven't seen Strange Brew in eons. I never saw it but Disney's Brother Bear feature the last appearance of Bob & Doug, actually Rutt and Tuke voiced by Moranis and Thomas in the style of the Mckenzies.
-
Gulliver does it in the original book, written almost 300 years ago, so unless the film was shot with the aid of a TARDIS, Gulliver did it first

I tried to watch this in the theater, but some hoser released a bunch of moths!
by Chewtoy
Got my money back though, eh? Very few things make me grin ear-to-ear as easily as memories of Bob and Doug.
-
Classic! Classic! Classic!
-
The one and only Mel Blanc as Bob and Dougs parents. Classic! Classic! Classic!
-
you are correct. I believe the dog's name is 'Shithead'. And their father (who never appears in the movie) is voiced by Mel Blanc. A great movie.
-
Haven't seen it in ages. Wonder how it holds up.

Shithead was Navin Johnson's (Steve Martin) dog...
by Shut the Fuck up Donny
...from The Jerk. Another classic.
-
was/is a family favorite! So many classic lines. "All of the bowling alley's had been wrecked. So I spent most of my time lookin' for beer." "Fleshy-headed mutant, are you friendly?" "No way eh! The radiation has made me an enemy of society."
-
with Steve Martin and Bill Murray....pleeaase..

by Inexplicable_Nuclear_Balls
Any time GB comes up, pretty much the entire script gets posted.
-
Gulliver's Travels did it first.
-
...although kgrimes just beat me to it.
-
... I believe these guys are an accurate depiction of us canuckleheads.
-
That movie is my freaking childhood. Makes me even more excited to know that the same guy is directing Captain America.
-
I still have the record. Both the Strange Brew soundtrack and the Bob and Doug album. Man, I gotta dig them things out.
-
Actually, the dad DID appear. Bob and Doug busted in on the parents while they were having sex. All we saw was Dave Thomas with grey hair and mustache on top of Rick Moranis in a house dress and curlers. Silly stuff.
-
so funny. One of the few movies that has brought me to tears laughing.

Sorry, starmin76, that is definitely a Ghost Busters line...

Warming up.... "Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown..."

I have the original record and the movie soundtrack (not nearly as funny but still amusing), a Bob and Doug poster and movie poster (sadly destroyed), B & D t-shirt, the McFarlane figures, and a Strange Brew book,which last time I cheked was going used for $99! Still love those guys!
-
...isn't one of the most quoted, or even the most quotable, but it still makes me chuckle: "Eh, hosehead, once you get there you can have all the free beer and sausages you want!"
-
When I used to watch SCTV as a kid, a could tell whether or not it was going to be a good episode based on whether or not he was in it. During the opening credits I'd say "Please no Dave Thomas, Please no Dave Thomas"....or I'd say "Aaannnnd Martin Short, Aaaannnnnd Martin Short", because the opening credits were alphabetical, and it was usually either Dave Thomas or Martin Short, but rarely both.
-
.....to the sequel that was being developed in the late 90's? If I'm not mistaken it was going to be called "Home Brew" and would have something to do with Bob and Doug marketing their own beer. Probably a good thing it never happened and we don't have to taint the memory of two great characters. "I want you hosers to get me a case of beer in the morning" "We're gonna need some money" "Use the money I gave ya today, YOU IDIOT!"
-
Had the movie for a week over Christmas vacation. I must have watched it nearly a dozen times. I think I was 13 years old. Always loved it. Take off, eh?
-
So classic - 10 bucks is 10 bucks.
-
so I went in search of...beer.
-
I called someone a "fleshy-headed mutant" the other day, totally out of the blue. Hadn't thought of this movie in years, but love these guys dearly!
-
Umm....I think you need to look up the definition of "incarnate". And the spelling while you're at it.
-
Braindrain is an utter loser. I've never seen someone on the internet as stupid and dimwitted as Ryan "Braindrain" Pominville. If ever there was someone wasting Ain't It Cool's time and resources, it's that jerkwad. Believe me, I'm an asshole and I should know!
-
"Ker-roo-koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-koooooo!"
-
I'm sure someone must have beaten me to this already, but Gulliver was pissing on fires about a century before Canada even existed, ya hoser. Jonathan Swift's book has some seriously low-brow stuff in it that might even be too crass to make it into a Jack Black movie, believe it or not.

Strange Brew is responsible for one of my favorite memories...
by SifoDyasJr
It happened when *SPOILER ALERT* their dog, Hosehead, drank the beer, then ran and leaped flying into the air, cape and everything. My brother fell off the couch laughing and could not stop laughing for about ten minutes. This movie will always have a warm spot in my heart because of that memory.

Back when SCTV was shooting at the old Allarcom / ITV studios in Edmonton. I was there as the alternate member of a 3 person team, representing my Junior High against a bunch of other schools in "Hi-Q" -- a quiz show that ran on Saturday mornings. Because I wasn't a part of the team getting filmed, I was able to wander all over the studio. I remember peeking into a door window and seeing a big Viking Ship prop -- the set for what turned out to be the "Viking and Beekeepers" sketch on SCTV. All the SCTV cast were there, along with many of their spouses. I had no clue that they'd be there, but I kept running into them and getting autographs. The show had just started to be a hit in Canada -- I think it may have been the last season (or second last) before they switched to shooting in Toronto. I think it was two years before the Bob and Doug album. They signed autographs for me on the back of grocery lists that my mom pulled out of her purse. "What are we signing now, garbage?" Rick Moranis asked me. "Oh no, it's a grocery list," he said, turning the paper over. "Better remind your mom to get milk." Both Thomas and Moranis talked to me and the other kids in their Bob and Doug character voices. Thomas' hand was taped up in a weird way with clear tape. "It's because the tape doesn't show up on video, eh, but a cast does." He had broken his arm, or wrist ... and if you watch some of those episodes closely from back then, you'll see how he always kept his hand tucked out of the way. They were all great -- and we met most of the cast. You could tell that they were enjoying the attention they were getting from us -- which would have been a fairly new thing, as they had just begun to become popular. Hunkered down in Edmonton for a several weeks a year, filming episodes back to back without an audience, and without living there to really enjoy a local fan base -- you could tell that they were enjoying that they had become a national hit and that suddenly there were kids hanging around that recognized them. Eugene Levy was holding a baby. Catherine O'Hara signed my autograph as Lola Heatherington, writing "I want to bear your child! Uh, what?!" John Candy was sitting on a stool in the hall in full Viking costume, from the Viking and Beekeeper's sketch, just glowering at me. I was scared to come within 10 feet of the guy. In retrospect, I'm pretty sure he was just having fun being a Viking and giving a kid the stinkeye. Crazy!

I saw this on opening night in Times Square alone..
by SubliminalJones
"Alone", as in, the ONLY PERSON in a midtown Manhattan theatre on a Friday night. I had never experienced such a thing before. It is quite surreal to hear your own howls of laughter echo to you back 3 seconds later from the pitch black of a deserted balcony in a 1,000 plus seat deserted tomb.
-
to the Bob & Doug animated series announced on AICN a few years ago?
-
Good story, Mookie.
-
Or one from the Matrix

I was going to UCLA when this was being made (wow, I'm dating myself!), and I got to see a special screeening of it at a studio theater. A friend and I were given invitations, so we arrived at the studio and were ushered into a theater along with a bunch of other people. Before the movie began, the people who introduce this stuff (maybe the producers?) kept calling us "hosers" and using other references from the show. But the audience kept looking at each other, wondering what the hell this guy was talking about. Did not bode well. But the movie was solid (even without some of the special effects in place). We all laughed, had a good time, and I'd have to guess that most of us gave the movie a good rating on the cards afterward. Still, the movie never took off when it was released. Maybe because not that many people knew where the characters came from and weren't that familiar with Second City in general. Love the movie to this day, though. A big, dumb, funny comedy with the respected serious actor Max von Sydow as the baddie! From Ingmar Bergman to the McKenzie Brothers! Great casting!

AICN, come on and help get the Bob & Doug juggernaut goin again!
by Red43jes
Need I say more? Where is the animated series??
-
Man this movie is hilarious. It's been so long since I've seen it. Oh and tomorrow's movie is not Honey I Shrunk The Kids. If the hint is what the movie is then I'm going with Ghostbusters.
-
As much as I hate to say it, I'm glad the Mckenzie Brothers animated series never took off. For one thing, as someone else mentioned, the bits they showed on the Strange Brew DVD weren't very good. And, even sadder, Rick wasn't interested in doing the voice work for it, so Dave Coulier was the voice of Bob!
-
It was done in The Adventures of Barry MacKenzie (1972 dir. Bruce Beresford) - the joke being that instead of putting the fire out with beer, the fellas first drink the beer so they can piss out the fire. Aussie humour!
-
I think the idea of Venkman as a ghost is retarded but Moranis as a ghost in GB3 would be an awesome cameo. Especially if he does a library ghost style transformation into that dog thing.
-
Favorite parody/homage to Hamlet.
-
but I've always been slightly intrigued by the Strange Brew figures gathering dust in my local comic shop in the UK.

by GreatWhiteNoise
National heroes by any measure. Right up there with the Hanson Brothers from "Slap Shot".

It just had to be said.

I saw Strange Brew in the theaters opening weekend. I was 11 years old and a hardcore SCTV fan. That movie was--and will always be--absolute genius.
