The lodge is somewhere that all the boys go to to elude wives. Boys' club. It is hilarious. The man prayer is: "I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to...I guess". lolol I saw this show taped live in Hamilton, Ontario. It was side splitting. There was actually an American couple there and they were on their honeymoon. Americans are in the loop and they love the show. Look for an episode with actor Graham Green. He's a native actor that was in Dances with Wolves. He is actually very funny.
Besides Graham Green being an absolute ICON, don't forget that Gordon Pinsent - Babar himself! - was also a member of the Possum Lodge playing a caricature of himself!!
You're right that this would be too much if it was one after another but it's just a minute in a 22 minute episode so it's always fresh. There's tons of other sketches they do. Check out sketches with ranger gord. He's far and away my favorite character. He's basically a Canadian forest ranger who's gone a little crazy from spending too much time in the woods by himself.
You should watch a complete episode of the show from start to finish rather than only one skit for the show. That will give you a better understanding of how the show is put together.
@@michelespracklin1704 I forget the pink eye one. I like the one where Oscar tries to fix the roof. PS. I meant they weren't the funny ones he watched. LOL
Red Green's "North of Forty" segment is my personal favourite. Red gives men his opinions on marriage, society, and getting older. You should check out some clips of this segment.
The entire cast was amazing and worked well together. There also were guest appearances from several iconic actors, most of whom had recurring roles. Dedicated to the power of duct tape.
Gordon Pinsent, Will Millar, and of course Rick Green in "Adventures with Bill". I'm more familiar with Rick Green's "Prisoners of Gravity" show, interviewing science fiction and fantasy authors. I met quite a few of the people he interviewed, at conventions.
As a Canadian 🇨🇦, I gotta tell you, because of Red Green I made my maternity Halloween costume out of duct tape (and yes I sent a photo to him). Also my late Dad was a trucker and drove through America a lot. Many American drivers he knew would have my mum tape Red Green episodes and Dad would pass them (on request constantly) to the American drivers.
And the Federal Conservatives want to destroy the CBC because they have a gripe with the news division. Dull witted Conservatives are completely lacking a sense of humor!
you should watch a full episode to really understand the show. there are multiple different segments like this interspersed between a light story line where you meet the different reoccurring characters. it's quite brilliant.
He has a very impressive list of credits on IMDB. I remember him mostly from “The Grey Fox” and “One Magic Christmas” but I think that his role on Red Green will be his most memorable one for most.
I actually went to a taping of the Red Green Show in the CBC building in Toronto. It was a blast. A lot of interaction with the audience in between takes. So much fun.
I'm old enough that his wife, Morag, was my art and music teacher at Woodside Public School in Oakville back in the late 1960s. She also sang in a band that played at our school dances.
Bad luck, heartache, losing but too tired to fight. But if you take care of someone who loves you, then everything will turn out right. If you take care of someone who loves you, then everything will turn out right. Wow, that sprang out of my memory in one complete piece just from visualizing Steve and Morag at the conclusion of every episode of Smith and Smith. Three cheers for CanCon.!
The business that gave the prize reminds me of a sign I saw in a small town in Nova Scotia that was advertising Broadloom and Live Bait. Turns out the husband ran the outfitter shop on one side and the wife ran the home decor shop in the other half. Very small town sort of thing.
Most segments of the Red Green Show have one instance in each episode. And there's basically hundreds of episodes. The 2 recurrent characters are Red Green and his nephew Harold, but aside from them pretty much everyone else are "occasional" characters that show up every few episodes in one sketch or another.
Great show but he needs to watch the whole show from being to end so he understand it better lol but love watching the show funny if a woman doesn’t find you handsome she at least finds you handy lol 😆
I was actually at a live taping of The Red Green Show in 2002, one of our group was picked to be in the ending, and was a Christmas episode, which I taped the episode, and that tape went through the rounds. I still have the ticket, and no, it's not on Ebay. Take care, and all the best.
We went to one of the taping s during the shows final year. It was the only show where the possum lodge wives went to the meeting at the shows end. My wife was one of them
People came to the show dressed like Red, wearing plaid flannel shirts and duck tape and at the end of the show they would get people from the audience dressed like Red to participate in sketches about the Possum Lodge meetings. A lot was impromptu.
Funny you should say it'll wake you up in the morning...the fella that plays Daulton Humphries "crazy hair guy" actually lives up the road from us and ran into him just after dropping my kids off at school and I was laughing that my kids were just watching him (they watched it every morning eating breakfast) he laughed "isn't school torture enough without watching that craziness". Bob is really quite funny in real life too,and was a writer on the show for it's entirety. It is a sketch show and so far you've missed out on Nephew Harold also a local,very funny and silly show.
Wow, you were (are?) neighbours with Bob Bainborough?? Lucky you! I also loved him on History Bites. I remember one part where he was news anchor on some "Italian News Network" and he introduced their correspondent "Anna Maria Biscotti" - little nod for CBC listeners familiar with Anna Maria Tremonti 😀
I looked up Patrick McKenna (Harold) to see what he's up to these days. He voices some of the characters in the Netflix series "Go, Dog, Go." (Yes, based on the classic children's book and absolutely terrific.)
"Red Green" is guy wearing the hat the red and green suspenders. Every season ( I've forgotten how many, but I have all of them) has different characters. There isa deaf explosive expert, a riverboat pilot who exagerates his stories, and several others. At one time a person could be member of Possum Lodge. I am member 5,532. Red was becoming known in Florida after a radio appearance. Glad you enjoy the comedy.
@@buddyneher9359 Sorry. I pressed the "Send" button before I checked my writing. It should resd, " " Red Green is the guy wearing the hat and the red and green coloured suspenders." Then I list some some of the characters.
@@stephenmcgaughey8682 Oh, I was just chiming in that I remembered the toll free number, I think it was to become a member. I think it's great that you were a member and can still quote your membership number! 😄👍🦔🔴🟢
@Tyler Bucket This IS part of the Red Green Show. There was always a main storyline in each episode, interspersed with little segments like the word game, Red's poetry, ones where Red makes interesting creations in an attempt to do things easier, plus all the characters (like Red's nephew Harold, Ranger Gord, etc.) also had segments of their own (with Red or with each other). The characters are all pretty quirky (Red is probably the most 'normal' of them all 😄) --Mike is a not quite reformed former criminal, and the animal control officer is (hilariously) terrified of animals, etc. It's such a fun show.
@TylerBucket the red green show came out after red green and his wife stopped doing their comedy show in the late 1980s, the show red green did with his wife was called the Smth and Smith comedy mill. Not sure why it stopped but a year or 2 later the Red Green Show popped up, just some FYI for you.
@@jamesheal8157 Smith & Smith had its moments (for the time period it was a part of) and it was the birthplace of the character who would become Red Green -- but yeah the S&S comedy bits were a hit and miss mostly
Tyler, you MUST look up some episodes with Gordon Pinsent, another legendary Canadian actor. My favourite was when he was reminiscing about his naval days when he was a stoker on a nuclear submarine - had to wear lead overalls.
Didn't The Red Green Show get sponsored by 3M because of how much he used duct tape and what he could do with it? He really was a great commercial for the.
This show really evolved from 1991 to 2005. The first episodes had less characters and less variety, but it was all great. Personally, I like the first episodes the best because it was the original idea. Simplistic but original.
Red Green began as a segment on a TV sketch show called Smith & Smith. Steve Smith and his wife Morag played lots of different characters. One of Steve’s recurring characters was Red Green.
The fellow who plays Mike Hammer, his name is Wayne Robson. Unfortunately he passed away a number of years ago but the voices he does may be recognizable. If you ever saw Disney's "The Rescuers Down Under" he was the voice of Frank the frilled lizard. There were a number of prominent Canadian actors on The Red Green Show including but not limited to Graham Greene, the late great Gordon Pinsent, the aforementioned Wayne Robson, American-Canadian George Buza (who played Dwight) as well as Patrick McKenna. The Red Green Show was also one of the few Canadian sitcoms/sketch comedies that was very popular in the States.
Red Green was Morag Smith's Uncle Red on another show earlier made called Smith & Smith. Starred Steve (Red) and his wife. This was a spin off of that recurring sketch. Possum Lodge is the center of a small town on a lake. What he have is our cast of locals plus Red and his nephew Harold. It is and never was deep or serious just clean fun. And Mike is playing for a pedicure and free meal. Epicurist is one who enjoys new food. Pedicurist treats your feet. The joke is that its unhygienic and disgusting to eat in a place where people have their bare feet out. or prepare food. Its a silly concept on how the words are very similiar.
My favourite characters in this tv show is Hap Shaughnessy (Gordon Pinsent), who always tells tall tales, err lies (like some ex president we all know), and Edgar Montrose (the dynamite guy: Graham Greene)
There's also Duck tape forever a red green movie and there's alot of different reoccurring characters on the show basically reds logde buddys / the townsfolks
In most of the later seasons, the Word Game happened in every episode. The adventure segments are other great skits worth checking out. Other great characters in the show include Winston Rothschild, owner of his own septic sucking services. In addition to being a regular cast member, he also had a number of quick ads for his business. "Discounts for vegetarians". Edgar Montrose works in demolition, and he's mostly deaf and doesn't seem to think enough about safety. Hap Shaughnessy is a guy who seems to be incapable of telling the truth and comes up with all sorts of wild stories. Harold Green, Red Green's nephew, was a series regular for almost every season. As for the word game, look up "The Top 50 Quips and Clips from the Red Green Possum Lodge Word Game" compilation on TH-cam.
Omni, fungus,He has a failing business and a horrible wife, Dalton is always pulling his hair out. Dwight runs the marina, hes lazy af. You need to watch a full episode! And some adventurers with bill! Remember, Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati😂I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.
The actor who played Mike Hammer also had the roles of Chizzelflint, the Pawnbroker (Popeye 1980); Frank the Lizard (The Rescuers Down Under 1990); and the boat captain (The Incredible Hulk 2008).
OMG … that reminds me of the time I got to watch them twice onstage. The Red Green Show was a hoot! Red Green actually started on TV with his wife. The show was called Smith and Smith. Thanks for the memories.
You really need to check out more of Corner Gas. It's a great comedy from Canada that is well loved but nobody ever talks about on TH-cam. You talked about it briefly in a video before, It's the one with the gas station lol.
I think it would be pretty entertaining to check out History Bites, it shares a bunch of the writers and actors as red green. Sketch comedy that asks what if TV shows were around this historical period (American Revolution, Crusades, Potato Famine, etc)
Red Green was an idol to me growing up. Loved the show. Have seen "Red Green" live several times. The time I met Steve Smith "Red Green" kind of crushed me.
If I can remember right after you cross the border you go past 137 beer stores then hang a left to get to possum lake but maybe it was 378 the hang a right.
Growing up, I never actively watched the series, as in I wouldn't turn the channel to specifically watch the show... But I would join in watching it when it was on if I left my room after school or in the summer. Nowadays I appreciate the humor more so I enjoy watching it even more.
The Red Green Show is a multi-segment show with multiple reoccurring characters, muktiple segments revolving around a core weekly story about the Possum Lodge, and has 300 total episodes & a movie over its 15 year run. What you saw in your prior videos was one of the segments, Handyman Corner, which is exclusively involving Red and his ability to make weird stuff, usually out of cars. The Possum Lodge word game is another, and usually has 3 people, one of which is Red. The host is usually Mike Hammer, but is sometimes Dalton (the weird hair guy) or someone else even. And yes, the running gag is they usually say the word on accident.
My fav. part was always the Possum Lodge Oath & Man's Prayer near the end of the show. The Word Game never got boring as it was always interesting to see what silliness and twists they'd come up with for the next word.
We picked Steve up one day when his truck stopped on the way to the studio…pre cell phones…super nice and gave us hats, tapes , tickets….just as funny in person.
You need to watch this series. It's popular all over North America. The Red Green show started on a variety show called Smith & Smith. Mike Hammer (Wayne Robson) was a great actor. I loved him in that show. The actor who plays Dwight in that show also voices Beast in the original X-Men and X-Men '97 animated series
And he played the truck driver who drops Rogue off at the bar where she meets Logan in the first X-Men film. You can always tell when a late 90s show or movie was filmed in the Toronto area, because all the same actors pop up. I binge-watched "Due South" recently and basically every actor with a minor speaking role in that movie and every actor from the Red Green show appeared in it at some point.
If the women don't find you handsome, they should find you handy. Keep your stick on the ice. Red Green had many good quotes!
Super Dave Osborne

Harold is my favourite character, then Ranger Gord, and followed by the accident prone explosives enthusiast Edgar.
I love Ranger Gord!!
Ranger Gordon is BY FAR my favorite character. Harold is also essential to know about since the dynamic between him and red is great.

My favourite segment of the Red Green show will always be Adventures with Bill! Hilarious physical comedy with a voice over by Red Green. CLASSIC!
My hubby's favourite too. He just loves Bill, haha.
I still watch this show.
It's crazy that this is still relevant today. This show will never get old.
You should watch a complete episode of the show from start to finish rather than only one skit for the show. That will give you a better understanding of how the show is put together.

Absolutely.

It'd take him a couple hours to get through a show

Love Corner Gas! No canned laughter in that show!

I'd forgotten about that show!! It was good!

Hap Shaughnessy is a guy who seems to be incapable of telling the truth and comes up with all sorts of wild stories. Harold Green, Red Green's nephew, was a series regular for almost every season.
As for the word game, look up "The Top 50 Quips and Clips from the Red Green Possum Lodge Word Game" compilation on TH-cam.
Hey Check out Royal Canadian AirFarce...Rick Mercer Report too..
Loved AirFarce, even back when they started on radio. When they started on TV, I thought they lost a bit of the magic.
Omni, fungus,He has a failing business and a horrible wife, Dalton is always pulling his hair out. Dwight runs the marina, hes lazy af. You need to watch a full episode! And some adventurers with bill! Remember, Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati😂I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.
The actor who played Mike Hammer also had the roles of Chizzelflint, the Pawnbroker (Popeye 1980); Frank the Lizard (The Rescuers Down Under 1990); and the boat captain (The Incredible Hulk 2008).
The man in the black shirt was Wayne Robson. He passed away in 2011 during rehearsal for a stage play he was acting in.
These had me laughing so much! Perfect balance of smart and silly humour
You have to check out the HANDYMAN CORNER segments! They were always my favorite. He can make just about anything out of just about anything.
loved the red green show lol
There are a lot of parts to the show, inventions, possum lodge and clever bits
Ranger Gord was my favorite, stuck in his lookout tower, always in desperate need of a hug.
😅
Please watch 3 hours of the program you’ll never forget silliness and beauty in the same breath
OMG … that reminds me of the time I got to watch them twice onstage. The Red Green Show was a hoot! Red Green actually started on TV with his wife. The show was called Smith and Smith. Thanks for the memories.
They aren't guest they are all members of the Lodge.
Most reactors seem to concentrate on the Handyman’s Corner segments of the show but it’s so much more than that.
You really need to check out more of Corner Gas. It's a great comedy from Canada that is well loved but nobody ever talks about on TH-cam. You talked about it briefly in a video before, It's the one with the gas station lol.
hope he gets to the adventures with bill segment one day lol
I think it would be pretty entertaining to check out History Bites, it shares a bunch of the writers and actors as red green. Sketch comedy that asks what if TV shows were around this historical period (American Revolution, Crusades, Potato Famine, etc)
I'm Canadian and I completely forgot this show existed
As a Canadian I grew up on the red green show. It’s fantastic. There are whole episodes on you tube.
I used to always change the channel when this show came on, lol. Now I will try watching it.😊
Saw Steve Smith in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Hilarious! Got his autograph and a hug! Loved the tv show!
Red Green was an idol to me growing up. Loved the show. Have seen "Red Green" live several times. The time I met Steve Smith "Red Green" kind of crushed me.
If I can remember right after you cross the border you go past 137 beer stores then hang a left to get to possum lake but maybe it was 378 the hang a right.
Growing up, I never actively watched the series, as in I wouldn't turn the channel to specifically watch the show... But I would join in watching it when it was on if I left my room after school or in the summer. Nowadays I appreciate the humor more so I enjoy watching it even more.
The Red Green Show is a multi-segment show with multiple reoccurring characters, muktiple segments revolving around a core weekly story about the Possum Lodge, and has 300 total episodes & a movie over its 15 year run.
What you saw in your prior videos was one of the segments, Handyman Corner, which is exclusively involving Red and his ability to make weird stuff, usually out of cars.
The Possum Lodge word game is another, and usually has 3 people, one of which is Red. The host is usually Mike Hammer, but is sometimes Dalton (the weird hair guy) or someone else even. And yes, the running gag is they usually say the word on accident.
Loved Ref Green watched it all the time. Even went to see him live on his last tour.
Kids in the Hall was one of my favorites.
My fav. part was always the Possum Lodge Oath & Man's Prayer near the end of the show. The Word Game never got boring as it was always interesting to see what silliness and twists they'd come up with for the next word.
Saw about a dozen tapings when they moved to Toronto, Had a blast!
We picked Steve up one day when his truck stopped on the way to the studio…pre cell phones…super nice and gave us hats, tapes , tickets….just as funny in person.
My son LOVED that show when he was a toddler.
The boy has great taste!
The gentleman who played Dwight voices Beast in the X-Men cartoon.
Your shows about Canada are awesome!!!!!
Do a full episode
You need to watch this series. It's popular all over North America.
The Red Green show started on a variety show called Smith & Smith.
Mike Hammer (Wayne Robson) was a great actor. I loved him in that show.
The actor who plays Dwight in that show also voices Beast in the original X-Men and X-Men '97 animated series
And he played the truck driver who drops Rogue off at the bar where she meets Logan in the first X-Men film.
You can always tell when a late 90s show or movie was filmed in the Toronto area, because all the same actors pop up. I binge-watched "Due South" recently and basically every actor with a minor speaking role in that movie and every actor from the Red Green show appeared in it at some point.
Have you watched "Bob and Doug Mckenzie " ? Watch a bit of their stuff if you want to see some true Canadian Humor! lol.
Handy Man Corner was always a fun segment.
Oh no, he found our church
Many of the "guests" were well known Canadian Dramatic actors, which made the quality of the wor game so memorable.
