The Illuminati, the lack of evidence for their existence becomes proof they are all powerful and control everything, even TV sketch comedy apparently.

sketch comedy show?

Also, Catherine O'Hara, Ivan Reitman, Eugene Levy, et. al.>> ^siftbot:

^ Almost every American sketch comedy show from the late-70s and early-80s, Popeye, Mork & Mindy, Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King, Toys, Hook, Aladdin (say what you will about the movie, but his genie is THE genie), Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage (remake), Good Will Hunting, Patch Adams, What Dreams May Come (I liked it at least), One hour Photo, Insomnia (remake), and then there's all of his random, unforgetable guest appearance and talk show circuit adlibbing...

Or do you just mean in recent years?

Mostly with you. I feel CBC TV still needs to present hockey. Not sure why I do, just do. And our comedy heritage is in sketch comedy, and the CBC is the only place supporting that. If there were no CBC TV anymore, I wouldn't actually be upset. It's non-essential, especially considering most of the programming these days is indistinguishable from other channels -- Rick Mercer being one of the exceptions, but captured under sketch comedy.

But man, Canada without CBC Radio would be a whole different country. Just about everything there is a precious gem -- As it Happens, Wiretap, DNTO, Tapestry, Vinyl Cafe, Writers and Company, and old shows like Morningside, Richardson's Roundup (Sad Goat), and The Inside Track. It's also the only source of serious criticism of the government from people who are not just talk radio blowhards.

If for no other reason, Canada needs to have at least one broadcaster less unbalanced than the others towards corporate interests. Without that balance, the other broadcasters have no check.>> ^jmzero:
I think the CBC needs changes. It should produce educational content, children's programming, news and nothing else. There's no reason it should compete to show sports and general entertainment.
Especially the latter.
It has demonstrated a tremendous lack of skill in making the kinds of entertainment programs Canadians want to watch, despite aiming pretty low. Why, as a taxpayer, should I be paying for sub-par sitcoms and reality shows?
A public, independent news network without ads? Good purchase. Rick Mercer? He's great, but I think he'd get the ratings to survive elsewhere.
A few more daytime cooking shows - and still pressure from advertisers? Doesn't sound like a good use of taxpayer money.

I don't get what's supposed to be twisted about this. The kids weren't exposed to so much as a swear word. Haven't multiple sketch comedy shows done the exact same thing? Didn't Chappelle Show do the identical prank with his homeless crack head character?

This is a crock of shit. The parents should be ashamed of themselves trying to ruin this kid's life over a joke that harmed no one.

Yup, those are both him! Never seen those before. Good stuff.

I've seen this guy do a few skits before, and something about him just really hits my funny bone. The first clip I saw of his was the American/Canadian border patrol officer (I'll find the link). He also did a dating video that was pretty popular. I'm an Aussie, and I'm usually more into British comedy - this guy has something different to almost all American comedians, but I'm not sure what it is.

Hope I haven't got the wrong guy.

This is a really funny guy I knew in college. He's in the Groundlings, which is sketch comedy and improv. This is the first time I've seen him make a video, and I thought it was hilarious. Half the humor comes from how real the video seems at first, so I could understand some people getting upset at being "tricked".
