Youtube is running slowly for me today so I'll watch these later - meanwhile I'll share another animal video with you:



( Stephen Fry travels with the BBC so it's very Pythonesque; this parrot is rare but not an ex-parrot yet :lol )

Post Re: On The Lighter Side
People ask time to time if I have a light side?

Well I do!!

There are three types of people in this world it comes to comedy..
There are Monty Python Fans...
There are American Saturday Night Live Fans

and there is another..

Canadian SCTV "Second City Television"

Who can forget!

The Great White North : How to Get a Mouse in a Beer Bottle


What fits into Russia
Comedy Sketch made by SCTV Network.


John Candy as Alfred Hitchcock


And the Ultimate Laugh of a Life time from that Classic Bob and Doug (SCTV) Movie Cult Classic "Strange Brew"

Bob and Doug McKenzie - Strange Brew Clip #14



I Dare anyone not to Laugh At this Next One :)

Set Up: Bob has nose bleed in the wittness stand and since they're no tissues in court to help him he plugs his nose with bullets from the bailifs gun.

The rest is self explainatory :)

Bob and Doug McKenzie - Strange Brew Clip #15

How I heard about and became a SCTV fan...

Well I have Latvian, Lithuianan and Estonian friends in Toronto. Which by the way has a large population of Balts..

They told us about ...

The Schmenge brothers (John Candy and Eugene Levy) share with us their Christmas in Leutonia.



:crylaugh

The Schmege's come from the fictionalized Leutonia..

In Baltic languages..

Lithuiana is Leutuish Leu

Estonia = Tonia

Leutonia! LOL


In the 1970s, Latvian, Estonian and Lithuianan folk music especially in Canada and US was obessed with Accordian Polka music!

Thus...

The Schmenge brothers (John Candy and Eugene Levy) share with us their Christmas in Leutonia.

If one can not laugh at ones self time to time... whats the point of living..

My parents and grand parents didn't find it funny.. but for us 1st generation US/Canadian Balts.. it was a riot of laughter.. still is.

:crylaugh

Ok a Latvian Funny

Depicts Lativan history which though is tragic one in this film is presented in a Humorous way poking fun at everything Latvians have wittness. Some times you just have to laugh at history and how history plays out.

Set Up the Tatched Roof cabin and long haired hippie type guy is Latvia. Lativa sitting on the boarder between Europe (the left of screen) and Russia (the right of screen.) Through out its history has been caught in the Middle of these two Empires. So the Lativan in clip has to endure it all watch his home fill up with rubbish of history LOL


Latvietis

In this cartoon film Janis Cicermanis has tried to show history of Latvia from the Stone Age up to now.


The order of appearance:
Opening Pagan Latvia
1201 Bishop Albert
Coming of the Catholic Church: Germany Teutonic Knights)
1577 Ivan the terrible
Russia: Coming with Ivan Russina Orthodox Church)
- Martin Luther
Protestantism and the Return of Germans
1700 Charles XII of Sweden
1721 Peter the Great
Russian Empire
1764 Catherine II of Russia
1917 Vladimir Lenin
Communist Russia,
1918 Independence
1940 Soviet occupation
- German occupation
1945 Soviet liberation
The So called Soviet Liberation which was another Occupation
1945-53 Stalins cult of Personality
1961 Nikita Khrushchev
- Leonid Brezhnev
1991 Independence
2006 - EU Membership and Celebration

and the very End Something All Latvians Feel today... The EU shall pass as all the rest and well we rather just rest... :crylaugh

There are very few Masterpiece moments of Comedy. This moment from the old Carol Burrentt Show is One of them.

Tim Conway during this famous Moment during the Mama's Family Skit without adoubt isTHE BEST. Filmed Live. Conway goes into improv for no other reason then to crack up the cast. And does!

Enjoy!!!
