Great news eh? by LordPorkington	Apr 28th, 2008 09:24:31 AM
I love these guys!
By the way... by LordPorkington	Apr 28th, 2008 09:26:18 AM
I wonder if he'll fall into a giant tank of their sponsor's drink and the only way to escape is by drinking it all, capped with a little wink to the camera?

I'm on this like white on rice.
Looks cute but I want Clone High back! by uppercanuck	Apr 28th, 2008 09:33:37 AM

Bringing SCTV in any form is fine by me! by Kelvington	Apr 28th, 2008 09:46:49 AM
For those of us who grew up watching SCTV, it's always good to see it coming back in some form.
Didn't we learn from "Strange Brew"? by rockgolf	Apr 28th, 2008 09:54:06 AM
Bob & Doug are funny...in small doses! More than 15 mins? Zzzzzz.
Lame eh? by Yeti	Apr 28th, 2008 09:54:35 AM
fer shur.
More Rush! by buffywrestling	Apr 28th, 2008 09:57:59 AM
And a Getty Lee cameo please.
What are you talking baout rockgolf?!? by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 28th, 2008 10:02:42 AM
Strange Brew was HILARIOUS. I love that flick, as does everyone I know!
Hell Yeah buffywrestling! by guido505	Apr 28th, 2008 10:18:35 AM
It's only fair right? I mean Bob and Doug were featured on this latest Rush tour, might as well have Geddy on the animated show.
this could work by LegoKenobi	Apr 28th, 2008 10:20:03 AM
they may have a hard time filling a movie-length flick, but the length of an animated series would be perfect. that roomba bit was awesome, but most of the other stuff had be rolling my eyes a bit. still, it's bob & doug, so i can't resist loving them. fry up some back bacon and pop some cold ones, eh?
Rick Moranis is a fucking asshole by Darth Sticky	Apr 28th, 2008 10:20:09 AM
Fuck Rick Moranis. I hope this shit fails. Karma demands it.
Is this the same animation by Marillion	Apr 28th, 2008 10:25:28 AM
That was included on the "special edition" DVD a few years ago? I can't see the vid from my work computer, but I suspect this is the same, or at least an offshoot of the pilot episode that was included in the DVD a few years ago.. It takes them out of Toronto and puts them in a ficticious city just across the border from the US, eh? It wasn't bad, script-wise, but animation could have used some work.. Now, take off you hosers!
Looks like the same thing from the DVD by Jor-El23	Apr 28th, 2008 11:14:54 AM
can't wait?
I love the 'ol SCTV gang, but didn't by skimn	Apr 28th, 2008 11:23:00 AM
Moranis and Thomas basically voice Bob & Doug as moose in that Disney flick a few years back? Brother Bear? Again, nothing is funnier than old SCTV clips and shows (one of my favs, The Sammy Maudlin Show), but you don't see Short reprising Ed Grimly, or whats-iz-name doing Count Floyd just to make a quick buck....BTW, if Stone needs to cast the ghost of Nixon in his Bush movie, Dave Thomas has got the jowls for the job.
Coke Lobster by onusbone	Apr 28th, 2008 11:26:18 AM
I peed a little
i agree onusbone by soup74	Apr 28th, 2008 12:25:31 PM
coke lobster is pretty funny. unfortunately, as an old school doug and bob fan (i loved strange brew as a kid.. i thought it worked in movie form) i see my interest in the show going something like this: i excitedly catch the first episode. i enjoy it mildly. then for no good reason i never watch it again. yep, thats how these things work.
YEs by Spacekicker2001	Apr 28th, 2008 12:30:13 PM
I wish it were a movie, but hot dang I'll take a cartoon
the Animation SUCKS by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 28th, 2008 12:35:38 PM
I'm all for a Bob and Doug animated show, but the animation here is the kind of half-assed, mediocre, flash animated stuff you find on most of Cartoon Networks shows. such a wasted opportunity.
oo-wookookoo-koo-ook-koo-koo by Baron Karza	Apr 28th, 2008 12:51:20 PM
Take OFF! Back the 80's.
They've been talking about this for over a decade. by Bungion Boy	Apr 28th, 2008 12:52:22 PM
Can't believe it's actually happening. I love Bob and Doug. I love Rick and Dave. I've been dreaming of a Rick Moranis comeback for years. This doesn't look that great but I'll take what i can get.
SCTV eclipses--kills!--SNL by thegreatwhatzit	Apr 28th, 2008 01:08:09 PM
William B (the late John Candy), Sammy Maudlin, Earl Camembert, Lola Heatherton, Bob Hope, et al; all gold. I still lament the demise of the series; the same network, which insisted on its cancellation, gave full liberty for SNL to turn into the living corpse that it is today.
Animation eh? by latenightexplosion	Apr 28th, 2008 01:21:17 PM
I'd rather have a poorly animated Bob and Doug cartoon thats funny than have Bob and Doug beautifully animated as Moose.
good day, eh by bacci40	Apr 28th, 2008 01:55:02 PM
time to reanimate john candy...funniest fat man in history
Uh... correction, dude... by Kid Z	Apr 28th, 2008 02:23:59 PM
...Short DID reprise Ed Grimly on SNL numerous times during the 1984-1985 season.
by MikeTheSpike	Apr 28th, 2008 02:50:21 PM
John K. is right. Animation today is garbage.
Was not expecting much... by SifoDyasJr.	Apr 28th, 2008 04:08:16 PM
The original attempt of a cartoon on the DVD was weak, so I was thinking this would be more of the same, but this trailer was very funny. Coke lobster rules!
Think Jeff Goldblum! Think! by pottymouth3000	Apr 28th, 2008 04:10:41 PM
Maybe you whipper snappers are too young to have experienced SCTV or Strange Brew but it was f'n funny then and f'n funny now. This is just a promo to shop to tv channels but it looked funny as hell to me. I laughed my ass off all the way through it. Hockey, beer, jelly donuts - Canada in all its glory. I can't wait to try a coke lobster!
John K is a douche by pottymouth3000	Apr 28th, 2008 04:39:19 PM

I approve. by Uncle Stan	Apr 28th, 2008 04:43:57 PM

Too Family Guy-esque by bah	Apr 28th, 2008 04:51:49 PM
Replace Bob and Doug in those clips with anyone and Peter and you'd never know the difference. Too bad, I'd love more Mackenzies, but I don't think this is going to deliver.
I need work you hoser by Captain Justice	Apr 28th, 2008 06:07:46 PM
I'd rather see the stubby bottles brought back.
"Let's talk real fast..." by Sir Loin	Apr 28th, 2008 06:44:46 PM
"...so people will think their record player's broken." Man I wore that cassette out back in the day, good times.
rick moranis died a few months ago by Jett	Apr 28th, 2008 07:03:16 PM
everyone said it was a fake news story, but that explains why this is animated and why he doesn't appear in the intro to this video...he's dead and they are covering it up to make money off this show
uh, Jett? by LegoKenobi	Apr 28th, 2008 07:10:17 PM
why are you saying that? what do you base that on? you are freakin me OUT.
LegoKenobi by Jett	Apr 28th, 2008 07:13:18 PM
there was a false report a few months ago that rick moranis had past away...i don't rmember it ever being disproven, it just sort of faded away...now they have a new show that is unnessesarly animated and morranis wasn't even in the intro video in fact has anyone seen morranis in anything or interviews in the last few months?
Jett by LegoKenobi	Apr 28th, 2008 07:45:49 PM
now that you mention it... no.... but still -- how (and why) would such a thing be hidden? if he truly was dead, that would naturally boost interest in a project like this, no?
Short also turned Ed Grimley into a Saturday morning cartoon by Juemad	Apr 28th, 2008 10:05:06 PM
Andrea Martin and Joe Flaherty did voices on it.
why moranis? by rune_spell	Apr 28th, 2008 10:45:50 PM
Why does anyone have anything against Rick Moranis? My understanding is he dropped out of movies because he was so heartbroken after his wife died. The dude's hilarious. I want a reason for all this Moranis-hating, besides "he refused to sign my autograph" or some b.s. like that. You have to personally know him, and he had to do something seriously heinous for anyone to speak of him in such a manner.
Coke Lobster by blondeman	Apr 29th, 2008 12:32:46 AM
Genious. I hope it gets picked up.
"our movie is coming out this summer you knob" by otm shank	Apr 29th, 2008 12:44:31 AM
LOL! These guys are great. How can you hate on a man that gave us Dark Helmet?
Yes Martin Short reprised Ed Grimly by skimn	Apr 29th, 2008 11:28:07 AM
20 to 25 years ago for fuckin chrissake! I'm just sayin' it's sad to see Rick and Dave fall back on their old laurels and characters to make a buck or two. C'mon guys, get hooked up with Chris Guest and make an appearance in his next film...now THAT would rock.
All Hail STARNGE BREW! by fiester	Apr 29th, 2008 12:28:38 PM
Dude, it had Max von Syndow in it! How freakin' awesome is that?
"I was kinda like Chuck Heston in 'Omega-Man'" by fiester	Apr 29th, 2008 12:29:30 PM

They shat the bed when they didn't have... by Rakafraker	Apr 29th, 2008 01:44:45 PM
...a sequel a few years after Strange Brew. I guess the box office figures were crappy (I dunno why, it was HUGE when it came out here, but we all LOVE Canucks here.), but did it ever have legs, huh? Talk about a cult following. All through the 90's, I noticed that just about everyone I knew had a VHS (retail or copy) of the movie. Plus, all the stars in it... This does look sub-standard for animation, but the humor seems adult enough. I still think another feature-length film would go over fairly well, if shot for under $60M. I SO still love Strange Brew.
Rockgolf is a twat by NightArrows	Apr 29th, 2008 03:38:38 PM
Strange Brew is one of the greatest comedies of all time. Subtle in it's greatness, great in it's subtleness. I GOTTA THROW A WHIZ!
The Agoraphobic Cowboy by bswise	Apr 29th, 2008 04:24:16 PM
Wow, great to see Dave Thomas again, I haven't seen him on the tube since his cameo in the last season of Arrested Development. For anyone too young to remember SCTV, the likes of Tina Fey and Judd Apatow owe a hell of a lot to that incredibly talented crew, at least for all the inspiration, and they know it. Oh, and for all of those who don't hate Rick Moranis, because they went off their meds this morning, I highly recommend his great country-western comedy album from'05 "The Agoraphobic Cowboy." http://www.rickmoranis.com/
Attempt Home Brew again! by Sith Witch	Apr 29th, 2008 04:37:17 PM
With the profits from this animated show, you can turn it around to make the much belated Home Brew sequel that was attempted back in '99. Please!
I remember the dog from Strange brew by Dazzler69	Apr 29th, 2008 07:36:33 PM
Was he not a super dog that licks himself or somethin?
Bob and Doug and Quickstop? by Napoleon Park	Apr 30th, 2008 03:44:15 AM
Bob and Doug and Bill and Ted and Wayne and Garth and Jay and Silent Bob form a super-group.
Moose in Brother Bear by TodayzSpecial	Apr 30th, 2008 06:18:52 AM
Not the first time they were animated. I seem to remember the Moose in Brother Bear were the Mckenzie Brothers verbatim.
adult swim, probably? by ArcadianDS	Apr 30th, 2008 10:39:59 AM
randomly shooting people, date-rape jokes, and nazis. Not exactly CBS kind of stuff. Comedy Central, perhaps.
Why Flash animation? by Quake II	Apr 30th, 2008 12:31:24 PM
The art and character design is decent but the movements with Flash just look cheap. I've never liked Flash animation BUT if the show is funny I eventually won't even notice the cheapness (ala South Park).
Flash animation... by hillvalley	Apr 30th, 2008 01:21:07 PM
...can be used effectively, but the material and art direction have to suit the medium. Homestar Runner knows how to use flash appropriately. Because their character designs are limited, the animation doesn't seem so limited. Too often though, like what I saw here, the animator goes for a "hand-drawn" look. The art direction here is nice but is betrayed when they're limbs and head flail about like paper dolls.
FREAKING SWEET!!!! by rutgersjaffo	Apr 30th, 2008 03:25:33 PM
Strange Brew absolutely freaking rocks! I could watch that flick over and over. 'Dad! Bob broke your beer!'

Kevin Smith sucks HUGE COCK!! by Loosejerk	Apr 30th, 2008 09:15:06 PM
Anything he touches turns to SHIT! Tho, date rape is pretty funny.
