Bob and Doug McKenzie were created by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas for the Great White North segment on the Canadian sketch show SCTV, which began in 1980. The brothers became breakout characters, known for their parkas, toques, beer, and constant eh and take off, eh patter. Their popularity led to the 1983 film Strange Brew and a lasting place in Canadian comedy. Short clips like my idea still circulate online because the characters turn simple, self satisfied lines into instantly recognizable reactions.
