Bob and Doug McKenzie were created by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas for the Canadian sketch show SCTV, first appearing in 1980 as a parody of Canadian stereotypes. Their segments, built around beer, toques, and slang like hoser and eh, became a breakout success in Canada and the United States, leading to the 1983 film Strange Brew. Short clips from their routines still circulate online as nostalgic reaction sounds, shared by fans who grew up with the characters and by editors who value their instantly recognisable voices.
