The great Fred Willard was being interviewed by Linehan when he suddenly stopped and said " You're the guy Marty does!" He didn't know the Brock character was based on a real person.
The amazing thing about SCTV is how well they make “old” films. The faded 60s color, the 50s black and white, and the sound are so authentic. Watch _The Last Polka, Six Gun Justice,_ the clips from _Sammy Maudlin’s 23rd Anniversary Show,_ or the documentary about Bobby Bitman’s One Millionth Performance. They created “old films” better than most film studios.
I have several seasons of SCTV on DVD which I hadn’t watched in a great while. I did so not long ago, and it is amazing how the humor holds up after so many years. It’s questionable if Rusty is actually timeless, but SCTV certainly is.
Where was Mr. Wilson? Now that I’m 70 I’m disappointed not to have a neighbor like Dennis. Though he’d probably steal my pot plants. We named our kids Henry and Alice. Later I realized that those were the first names of the Mitchells.
I bet The Venture Brothers show borrowed from this Rusty to create their Rusty. Thanks for the upload! I have not seen many of the later episodes so its new to watch!
Wow missed this hilarious "Oh That's Rusty" at air time, and reruns and 30 years of internet, til now anyway. So much for living in a northern town with only CBC back in ancient times. Is SCTV streaming somewhere these days, other than here in clips.
The character "Brock Linahan" is actually a parody of the Canadian TV interviewer Brian Linehan (1944-2004).
Didn't know that.
Both were Canadian treasures.

You’ve really done your homework! 😉
Who？
Love SCTV. So much talent coming together like this is fate.
Maybe the best use of a television studio ever.
Eugene Levy's range is breathtaking.
"What did they give you, an estimate?", was actually a funny line.😂

That young man was amazing. Hope he stayed in acting. Mr. Short is beyond compliment. His characters are real. Thanks for sharing.
The opening with that kid was HILARIOUS!!
He reminded me of a child age Rick Moranis!
@@kurancy Yes and that is part of what made the child skit FUNNY! But the Kid's zingers to the mom cracked me up.
"What did they give you, an estimate?" HAHA!!
@@bobtillman5769 Groucho couldn't have made a better zinger!! LOL.
The kids really delivered, though. I wonder what other work he's done.
I love the subtle stuff, like he has to look at the cue card twice to deliver the line "well Dad, you said threw"
I never saw this before. It is precious 40 years later!
From the one year they were on Cinemax after the NBC show
29 years passed between 1954 and when this SCTV episode aired. Since this episode aired and now, 40 years 🤯 👴
Wild!
That kid doesn't get enough credit - hes hilarious!! His crossed eyed looking freeze frame always killed me.
One of my favorite sketches!
and amusingly, Martin Short at 40 years old, would later play a 10yo boy, in Clifford.
An unblinking, eyebrow-less Martin Short really kind of gives off Rob Schneider vibes. It's unsettling.
I rejoiced when Rusty had to deal with someone his own size. His new father made Short work of him..

i sincerely wish i could have had the opportunity to meet each and every cast member of SCTV
SCTV was great!
brock never blinks his eyes!
The feathers in a room being painted was actually an I Love Lucy bit.
I need to see Rusty shoplifting!🙏🙏🙏
I remember how weird I thought this was. Then Urkel came along and literally got too big for his britches at the end.
Prophetic!
Is this not a foreshadow of that? Incredible. Key and Peele do a great bit about Urkel.
It's kind of LIKE Leave it To Beaver with Jerry Mathis growing into a chubby teenager.
can't believe I missed this
Freakin GOLD!!!
What Billy Mumy and Ron Howard aspired to! 😮. 🤓😎✌🏼
And one of Rusty's later career highlights: playing Austin Powers!
That kid hitting all of his marks !!!
Lil rusty was a deranged dennis the menace version. 😂
there was actually a British version of Dennis The Menace that was made and it was alot more edgy
Or he could even be thought of as a "Rusty Venture, the Lost Live Episodes".
Just an idea. 😉
Where was Mr. Wilson? Now that I’m 70 I’m disappointed not to have a neighbor like Dennis. Though he’d probably steal my pot plants.
We named our kids Henry and Alice. Later I realized that those were the first names of the Mitchells.
AS Guy Caballero would say "Dennis Who?? Never heard of him!"
When Donald was Donnie
Brock not blinking the entire. Lil creepy.

You might be on to something. Brock is the name of the interviewer.
that kid is genius; must be related to the flamboyant kid from Curb Your Enthusiasm
Oh to have one ounce of Martin Short's energy.
My cousin and me have been laughing over the “f&$k the little girl! “ line for many, many years 😂😂😂
I still say "bad tooth smell" to this day
"29th season"!
A bad tooth smell???😭🤣😭
😂
Mami Van Doren!!!!.... give me that moment again. people were not supposed to be this funny back then.
Still playing Rusty at eight...good work if you can get it!
This is hysterical 😅
Clifford!
LOL, I was just thinking I was the only one to point that out.
Subtle art like this is gone.
This makes me wanna rewatch Clifford

They even got the real Brian Linehan's face mole right.
Well done! :-)
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤remember this well😅
His mistake was being real. Bart Simpson just got renewed for season 36.
Didn't they all get eaten by sharks about 20 years ago?
Wow, Andrea Martin. I only know her form her character in Evil.
If "The Simpsons" were live-action.
Great stuff
I WISH MARTIN SHORT WOULD BLINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant. But if you like this, watch Brock interview Bob Hope!
“Schlamozzle” 😂😂😂
Definitely the old days. Now she’d yell at the teacher and complain to the principal who would side with her.
Was Barbara's middle name Bradford?
Andrea Martin 🥰Look Hot! In that ❤50’s dress 😬
Love her 50s sitcom mom accent. Think Jane Wyatt.
Even when she's playing a goofball, she's one of the sexiest women that ever lived. IMHO
Funny!!!😊
Who played Rusty as a kid?
Rob Godfrey
Sad that Rusty died 2018 when he tried to rebuild his car's engine and accidentally blew up his garage.
I really thought he would be arrested in an adult movie theater, you know, enjoying himself a little too much. that's usually how child actors go
Quite funny.
A bad tooth smell can fill up a room. 🤢
No doubt Brock Linahan inspired later greats of the same trait, such as Piers Morgan and Jiminy Glick.
Kinda looks like the inspiration for Austin Powers image.
What a waste of X
ITS NOT REMOTELY FUNNY DUDE
Clifford!
