Perini frustrates her English teacher. Perini Scleroso - Andrea Martin Lucille Hitzger - Catherine O'Hara From SCTV Volume 4 Find us on Facebook! / secondcitytv Follow us on Twitter: / secondcitytv
100 years ago or so, my former BF and I stumbled on SCTV on late night Milwaukee TV. After an initial "WTH is this?" moment, we were in hysterics, nearly crying with laughter, looking forward to each successive week. Something clicked because _to this day_ I STILL quote and say SCTV phrases to myself, and cannot think of Turkey without thinking of "Murkey" where Ms. Scleroso supposedly hailed from (my love of wearing leopard may stem from her too LOL). And Catherine O'Hara was an absolute scream in everything she did, of course! SCTV blew SNL out of the water, IMO. Still does!
Edith Prickly in Prickly Heat was pretty good too, oh and I really loved Mojo the live in-maid of Billy in Days of the Week! She was funny as hell and underrated.
For over 40 years now, whenever I see somebody struggling with English pronunciation, the line "cah noo direhh nee ooda oto?" Immediately pops into my diseased mind... SCTV was probably the best ensemble comedy troupe of their day. EVERY member of the original cast was brilliant, every character an icon of north American culture, every sketch a work of comedic art.
Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara were so underrated....even thought the guys were tremendous (particularly Gene Levy and John Candy), both Andrea and Catherine were essential to making so many of the sketches fly....for me Catherine's "Lola Heatherton" was her shining moment, as well as the girl on HIgh IQ who kept ringing the buzzer before the question was finished...
Andrea and Catherine are incredible. Even forty years later, it's hard to think of two more talented comic actresses. The guys were equally talented and it was a pity that they didn't have a bigger audience in the prime of the show.
Telstar62a..It's nice to know that someone else really appreciated just how wonderful SCTV was and how talented the young cast was...it is quite fortunate that there is a great deal of SCTV material available on TH-cam, including some really insightful interviews and discussions among the cast members themselves years later..{By the way Catherine's character on Hi-Q was named Margaret Meehan---she floors me everytime I watch it...and thank goodness its on You Tube...her by play with Gene Levy playing the game show host is classic...I urge to check it out if you haven't seen it before!:)
Daniel Lack I agree SCTV was my favorite it dont get know better,i couldn't wait ever week till it came on,The incredible range of characters and amount of writing is unbelievable. One of my all time favorites is Joe Flarety as the count,the one with the stewardess and John Candy and Eugene Levy one of the funnest.What a great show im so glad we have youtube or they would just be a memory.Thank for the video who ever posted. Thank you cast of SCTV.
For several years, I was an ESL teacher. I had one student that was exactly like the one parodies by Andrea Martin. That student was beyond challenging. The student was an older woman whom I came to love. She never did learn English (she dropped out after a year), but we are still good friends 35 years later.
SCTV is still funny if you know the references. Younger people don't know the real-life people SCTV parodied (such as Divine, David Steinberg, Perry Como, Gregory Peck, Dick Cavett, and Lola Falana/Joey Heatherton), so they have no idea what the show was poking fun at.
I've always appreciated the commercial for Andrea's character,this character in particular,I think it was a wine commercial,the way the melody 💙 ❤, seemed to flow through the air,gave me chills the first time I heard it,thanks for the memories,In Loving ❤️ Gratitude.
Based on some other episodes, they show her in a small village home in former Soviet country of Armenia. So I think she is supposedly from Armenia. BUT she has the cultural and dress ways of a poor Eastern European and or from other former Soviet republics type of country.
It's sad..That we can only see good show's like this On DVD or TH-cam.. This show can never be copied like these great people did it....The best of the best.
I remember this one. I laughed so hard , tears were clouding my eyes, while my parents were yelling out for me to be quiet. Of course I bought this gig with me to school, and used it on my friends. They thought I was mental....lol
One of my favorite characters Catherine O'Hara played was the wildly grinning and waving "lovely assistant" on "The $129,000 Question" with Moe Green (Ramis). She was so energetic and...fake! It was a bit role but I just loved it. She and Andrea Martin are comic geniuses!
My favorite Andrea Martin character is the Children's Show Fairy. She gets her net skirt caught in the car door driving down the road. Half of it is sticking outside as she drives; a telling symbol of her disheveled and chaotic existence.
from what I gather, the cast and crew had a grueling schedule to meet while the show was shooting in Edmonton. its cold, dark, and lifeless (trust me, I lived there). we laugh, while they mustve really suffered with a constant struggle. I think it is worth to remind ourselves that sometimes our hardest moments can be our best moments when we choose to rise to the occaision.
These women are so effing *B R I L L I A N T!!!!* I cannot _believe_ they were not paid one penny for the writing they did for *the entire first season!!* The men all were paid extra, of course. Absolutely a crime. If I were able to ask one question of each of them, I would definitely want to know if they tried to advocate for O’Hara and Martin, or if they ignored the situation…..I probably wouldn’t want to know the answers, but I’d ask anyway.
SO funny!!! This reminds me of the scene from the Pink Panther with Steve Martin, trying to learn the American accent..."I Would like to buy a hamburger"!!!!!! Hilarious! XOXOXO SCTV
Years later after this originally aired my friend and I would get drunk at a bar and at the end of the night we would say . . . can uh di lack me do loto, or something more mixed up every time we said it. Taxi drivers hated us. I miss this show.
They do an even better one that is very hard to find. Catherine is an Irish mom in the obstetrics ward having a baby and Pirini is there as an on-the-scene reporter for SCTV. It is a side splitter. Painfully funny.
Such a funny bit and Martin & O'Hara are fantastically funny in it. I don't know where this originated, it could go back as far as vaudeville. Most recent and famously Steve Martin used it in the "Pink Panther" movie when he was trying to come off as an American ordering a hamburger...it was excruciatingly funny, almost painful.

Can You direct me to the lotel ?
Oh, you just go down 2 blocks, you can't miss it.
Schitt’s Creek is playing on my TV right now. They are comic geniuses.
@goudagirl6095 Ms. Scleroso isn’t wearing leopard, genius.🙄🤡🤦♂️
Lorne Michaels ripped off SCTV for half the peeps he put in SNL.
Martin and O'Hara are brilliant together. Love them both and SCTV is greatly missed.
I thought the teacher was Gilda Radner.
@@LoriKasprzak-yk6nc She was on SNL.
Even after 30+ years this remains one of the funniest moments from a brilliant show. I can never watch it without hysterics!
Exactly what I was going to say! This is a classic.
@@strayvideo I love Andrea Martin
Yes its funny
Yeh ur correct
Sorry, but it's unfunny crap.
Two of the greatest and most talented female comedians of all time.
Too ov gatey tarante fifi comedy all lime!
+++++
and greatly underrated.
Andrea Martin's most amazing character. Catherine O'hara plays the harried straight woman so brilliantly too. One of my favourite SCTV sketches!
Edith Prickly in Prickly Heat was pretty good too, oh and I really loved Mojo the live in-maid of Billy in Days of the Week! She was funny as hell and underrated.
@@verdeslam44 Loooove Edith Prickly!
PHAA!😆😆

I think so too!
These two ladies are geniuses. I have loved them both for over forty years. They are still just as funny!
Perini Scleroso is probably my all-time favourite celebrity cleaning lady.
This is one of my favorite characters Andrea Martin did. Along with Edith Prickly.
There were SO MANY of them... It's hard to pick.
SCTV: The most under-rated, under-watched show in television history.
Mrs. Falbo and her GTO.

good point. they played some zany characters really well and could have you on the floor laughing
yes the show didn't get the publicity and recognition it deserved, and didn't last nearly long enough.
My favorite SCTV Andrea Martin character. I just love her.

Perini Scleroso. Still smarter then any of the Kardashians !!
That's a low bar, though.
Tim, you’re awesome!
then, than, then, than, than, than, then, than, then, than, then, than, then, than, then, than, then, than, then, than.
Sounds like me two and half year old
Than*. You ain't so smart either.
I'm an ESL instructor - I can SO relate to this!
Me too. This is fairly accurate.
Ugh bad batch!
Khenoo etarach ao ee to ta hotao?
SCTV still holds up after all these years.
SCTV is still funny if you know the references. Younger people don't know the real-life people SCTV parodied (such as Divine, David Steinberg, Perry Como, Gregory Peck, Dick Cavett, and Lola Falana/Joey Heatherton), so they have no idea what the show was poking fun at.
I’m hemorrhaging from the uncontrollable laughter ... O’Hara & Martin are Comedic Goddesses.
One of the funniest skit-ending punchlines in the history of TV sketch comedy
I would love to see the outakes from this skit. There is no way in hell that they would have got through this the first take.
holly shit! this is as funny today as when i saw it on tv for the first time. they dont make shows like this anymore... what a shame.
I've always appreciated the commercial for Andrea's character,this character in particular,I think it was a wine commercial,the way the melody 💙 ❤, seemed to flow through the air,gave me chills the first time I heard it,thanks for the memories,In Loving ❤️ Gratitude.
this still makes me laugh just as hard 35 years later.
Randi Gal Still watching and laughing!!!
Priceless, still hilarious after all these years! 😄😃
I grew up on this show thus why I am so warped!!!! LOL Absolutely love this skit!!!!
For me the funniest part is the American flag in the classroom set. This show was taped in Toronto.
It was actually first filmed in Edmonton Alberta then it moved to Toronto after. 🙂
This is one of my very favourite SCTV sketches ever!
SCTV Was Fabulous😂
Yes, it was... absolutely fabulous!
And still is.
SNL, eat your heart out.
O'Hara & Martin were always so great together.
Andrea Martin’s acting here with the as Yet unidentified language she is speaking is just absolutely brilliant.
Based on some other episodes, they show her in a small village home in former Soviet country of Armenia. So I think she is supposedly from Armenia. BUT she has the cultural and dress ways of a poor Eastern European and or from other former Soviet republics type of country.
Maybe a mix of Turkish and Mandarin Chinese?
Agree 100%!!
Andrea&Catherine worked so well with one another. One of the best all female comedy duos!👍
You just go down two blocks, you can't miss it...
LMAO...I near died laughing at that! :D
This should have shown East and West that common ground, the undescovered country...
It's sad..That we can only see good show's like this On DVD or TH-cam.. This show can never be copied like these great people did it....The best of the best.
well at least you can see it...and free all over youtube. I wont complain
I am happy it's all on TH-cam (more or less).
Love how she got Catherine’s character to start doing the same thing with the weird pronunciation and then speaks plain English. So unexpected.
Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara are two of the best comedy pros ever. always lmfao
Comedic brilliance. Could not be done today I am sure .
This is one of my favourite SCTV videos. Just as funny now as it was years ago.
SCTV was pure genius. What ever happened to such brilliant television?
“Kan ou, etarachow me eenarotow”😆😆😆
I remember this one. I laughed so hard , tears were clouding my eyes, while my parents were yelling out for me to be quiet.
Of course I bought this gig with me to school, and used it on my friends. They thought I was mental....lol
damn she got some good english skills right there. Improving by the second. laughter galore.
I peed my pants when I saw this as a kid in the 70s!!! Still cracks me up!
Holy moly. .sctv has the funniest stuff ever...i was 11 years old when our local nbc affiliate ran it late on sunday nights

It’s like dueling banjos. Brilliant performances.
SCTV was on when I was in high school I loved it then and still do
This original skit from SCTV is priceless. That is how our housekeepers speak English at the hotel
How did they stay in character ? Omg this was so funny.
Andrea Martin's character, Perini Scleroso was brilliant she should have developed a 30 minute sit com for that character.
This was one of my all time favourite tv shows. I love Perini she should run for office! I'd vote for her!
I almost peed seeing this. When my daughter was about a yr old she talked gibberish. I called her Perini Scleroso. This still cracks me up.
Me too. Tears streaming down my face. Only just saw this skit, looking for a different one.
When grandma came to visit us from Germany, this was often the result. Absolutely hilarious!
Andrea Martin just absolutely kills me 😂😂😂😂edit: ohmy god this is the first SCTV clip uploaded on this channel!!! Wow 😳😱
So funny. Makes me think of the scene from _Hail, Caesar_ featuring the "Would that it were so simple" exchange.
This is truly the funniest skit I have ever seen.
This sketch is one of the funniest from SCTV. But could anyone make it today?
That is the best .....Andrea martin was truly hysterical.....the whole cast actually !!!!
Priceless
A young Catherine O'Hara. I'm used to her now, several decades on, on Schitt's Creek.
Great to see some footage of Catherine O'Hara and Andrea Martin before Home Alone and My Big Fat Greek Wedding respectively.
Catherine O'Hara could do Elizabeth Warren dead on.
Catherine O'Hara isn't an Indian, so that'd be offensive.
@@jonathanpasch6604 Wrong site - you're supposed to be on Parler looking for Q ... with the rest of the obsessed, reich-whinge nutjobs.
Andrea Martin doesn't do caricatures, she becomes characters some made up some are actual women of history. HIGHLY Underrated actress.
from what I gather, the cast and crew had a grueling schedule to meet while the show was shooting in Edmonton. its cold, dark, and lifeless (trust me, I lived there). we laugh, while they mustve really suffered with a constant struggle. I think it is worth to remind ourselves that sometimes our hardest moments can be our best moments when we choose to rise to the occaision.

SCTV was the Bomb!
Quite the most possibly under-rated comediennes. I used to watch SCTV religiously.
I effing love this show.
Can ooo. iteracha ee, to the Lohto?
spot-on
ITERRRACCCHHHAAAA!! ME!!!
Howard Rubin: You just go down two blocks, you can't miss it.
SO funny!!! This reminds me of the scene from the Pink Panther with Steve Martin, trying to learn the American accent..."I Would like to buy a hamburger"!!!!!! Hilarious! XOXOXO SCTV
This will never cease to be HILARIOUS.....!!!!!!
She is my favourite Martin character
Just loved Andrea Martin in her many skits particularly the sex expert. The whole cast were fantastic.
There is an earlier version of this too !
These two women carried the entire show!
Excellent. This seems like something that might have been left over from the stage days.
Just plain BRILLIANT!
As funny as the first time watching this decades ago… I needed this!!
I love Perini.
i loved the ad for Parini's resteurant "AAAA! BAD BATCH BAD BATCH!!"
They're so so good.😂😂😂😂
I love the "well there you go" look at the end. Finest of fine comedy.
Two of the funniest women ever.
SCTV was the best.

That was hilarious!!! I love when she gave her directions hahahahaha.
Love this one! My favourite!
I'm still laughing. Andrea is the best.
Classic 40's style schtick. Very well done.
The best SCTV episode was when they did a spoof of The Godfather.
The best sctv skit ever
Andrea got to recreate this sketch live with the Queen of Broadway himself, Seth Rudetsky, who is a huge fan of this character, playing the teacher!
Loved SCTV. The first word I always think of with Perini is Murkey. Andrea Martin did so many good charcters on that show.
Tears!
I weel not buy theese rrrecord, eet ees scrrratched.
My hovercraft is full of eels.
Vould you like to come up to my place fordr some bouncy-bouncy? I am no longair eenfecteed!
I used to do this with my nieces and nephews when they were learning to speak.
Such a funny bit and Martin & O'Hara are fantastically funny in it.
I don't know where this originated, it could go back as far as vaudeville.
Most recent and famously Steve Martin used it in the "Pink Panther" movie when he was trying to come off as an American ordering a hamburger...it was excruciatingly funny, almost painful.
The real reason teachers don't want to go back
Brilliant!
She needs to meet Borat !
So Great ....THANK YOU
i love andrea martin!
*AIIIIII*
