God I wish SCTV would be available to stream somewhere.
Is this is actual voice?? He’s extremely talented !
I loved SCTV! Don’t forget [Eugene Levy – Perry Como still alive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj5A7W-0zPY&t=75s)
Would love to see a Lounge Against The Machine cover.
Kirsten Dunst did a cover too, https://youtu.be/C0X3CLJVMJU?si=kZujCip0YaurkvwA
Japaniece
Dude is an absolute gem
I don’t get it
Kirsten Dunsts cover, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0X3CLJVMJU , is also pretty interesting in that it was done for an art installation and directed by Joseph McGinty Nichol who worked on Charlies Angels and Terminator Salvation and Produced by Takashi Murakami
The guy who created, My Lonesome Cowboy, NSFW

Please enjoy the best SNL opening of all time – https://youtu.be/Xzeyvaj1FiM?si=oXzuoQ5FA7pvkofd
All of you need to check out Richard Cheese. He does this on a grand scale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn40B9ugcrs
“Japaneese”
How the hell does the dude that played the dad on ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids’ and ‘Spaceballs’ have this Barry fucking Manilow voice? How was this never used? It’s fucking criminal that Spaceballs never exploited this fact.
The entire cast of Second City gave a years-long masterclass in comedy. I watched them every week growing up in Canada.
Jap-pakneeeez!! Mr. Moranis is a Canadian treasure!!!
Get Astley in here so we can have a Rick and Rick duet.
Lol his hand motion around 48 seconds is the icing on the cake
Reminds of [this cover of Wonderwall](https://youtu.be/NTfZshkNZRw?si=oeRnm1nvJPb3dG2X)
My favorite was him as Gordon Lightfoot in the ad for the collection “Gordon Lightfoot Sings Every Song Ever Written”.
I had no idea Richard Cheese owed his entire career to Rick Moranis
This was filmed in Hawerlak Park in Edmonton. They used to record the series here for a little bit. My friend lived across the street from the studio and used to see them hanging out in the playground by his school when he was a kid.
We also have [Tim Tamashiro](https://youtu.be/eQSFYY39ULk?si=DeXtBjaFPGPwmyn7)
And [Jaymz Bee](https://youtu.be/zVf_5UuSvp0?si=KTg4RrC38Btw2j1S).
Just looking at his face always cracks me up.
SCTV, better than SNL, Any comedian will tell you so.
What makes me sad is if this song came out today people would likely get butthurt
Filmed in Hawrelak Park during their Edmonton days 🙂
I still pronounce it “Turning Japa-nese”
He also did a pretty adept impersonation of George Carlin.
If nothing else, it certainly highlights how fucking nonsensical that song is…
All three Tom Monroe song covers are brilliant. Arrangements solid, polished, clever. There are two other lounge covers out there, one a version of “Downtown” done a la Doobie Brothers, “What A Fool Believes”.
Watch his hands in these. Creepy hand model pose stuff. Unnatural, waxy looking, the rings, cuff links…
Better yet, watch all the SCTV Gerry Todd Show bits (of which these are a part.) I want more.
I’m glad OP brought this to our attention. What a treasure.
Damn you OP. This is my first time seeing and hearing this glorious abomination.
I will never look at RM the same way again.
