RED GREEN

I'd never heard of it until a few weeks ago. Some friends invited us over for dinner, and afterwards showed us the Duct Tape show. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

hes done more for dUCT TAPE THAN the terrorists

Well, those broken down Kalishnokovs sure need duct tape by now I guess. Maybe that's why terrorists love Canada.

I'm sure if he encountered a terrorist he would thoroughly baffle him, and manage to offend him in the same way, and then probably accidently injure him as well....

"Hi. I'm Ranger Gord. What year is it?"

"If repetition wasn't a good thing, why would people get married?"

"But Uncle Red, you cannot make a fine quality lager using KoolAid technology!"

"Uh, this is only temporary...unless it works."

"It doesn't take long for men to make a decision. It's making a decision look smart that takes the time."

"Harold, it's amazing the things you say to me when I'm holding an axe."

"The Red Green Show is kind of like the flu; not everybody gets it."

I love the show. Red cracks me up.

Suggested motto for the Possum Lodge Olympics.
Harold Green: Be the best you can be... considering.

Edgar Montrose: Your wife left you? Blow up the stove. Otherwise you'll start cooking for yourself and that's dangerous.

Edgar Montrose: Ever notice that fast-burning fuse looks exactly the same as slow-burning fuse? I didn't...

Dougie Franklin: Don't adjust your set... the show's supposed to look like this.

Red Green: We now come to the part of the show called "If it ain't broke, you're not trying!"

I haven't seen it for a while. I don't get the Comedy Channel any more. But one's I've seen did the same to me as they do to Montana.

It's still on PBS.....at least that's where I watch it

Red: I believe it was James Joyce who said "A genius makes no mistakes, and his
errors are intentional and are portals to discovery". And that's the kind
of thing you say when you do something really stupid.

Red: I carry a little Shakesperian quote around with me, from "A Midsummer's
Night Dream": "A local habitation and a name, such tricks have strong
imagination".
Harold: So true, isn't it?
Red: Yeah.
Harold: I wonder what it means.
Red: No idea.

Harold: You guys are scary when you get together.
Red: Well Harold, you're scary all by yourself.

Red: I know you young people watch a lot of movies, 'cause I'm the guy who sits
behind behind you and tells you to shut up.

I still dont get Harold, Is he , like, some sort of relative of Red's? I hadnt caught the significance of him standing around with that goofy grin and that auto accordion thing. Perhaps Im looking too deeply.

In the US , its considered a"high brow" show, so its on PBS. Boy did they get it wrong. its about as dumbass as a show can get. Thats why I love it.

If anyone wants to see real Canadian humour, check out 'Corner Gas' if it's availible in your area.

I remember that show. They seem to LOVE duct tape

Ol' Red lives over there be Hamilton, eh?

Farmer man, Harold is Red's Nephew....on the original show he was mega dork, shadowing red etc...then he went to college and got a job as the promoter of the city....thus, a dork in a suit.

duct tape was originally named "duck" tape and was designed during WWII as a means of water-proofing ammo boxes hence the name "duck" (sheds water like the back of a duck)
I just wanted to share that folks.

Favorite Red Green episode: The day Possum Lodge ran out of duct tape. Red went into duct tape withdrawal. Red attempted to use the duct tape in the "break glass in case of emergency" window, but it was so old it crumbled to dust.

The show is incredibly clever with all the strange contraptions Red comes up with. It doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
