These are like shitty live action depictions of Playboy funnies.

I fondly remember this show. Unfortunately I hadn't discovered SCTV prior to this. Did it even survive one season?

OxygenThief - 2016-02-19 Also, I love it when an obvious dummy is thrown off a cliff or building and Super Dave always delivered on that.

blue vein steel - 2016-02-19 Agree, the use of an obvious dummies for falls, suicides or getting thrown through windows is possibly my favorite sight gag of all time

chumbucket - 2016-02-19 Haha! Yes thanks O2Thief! I forgot about the dummy gags with SuperDave. In essence, that was mostly THE gag. My favorite segment as well.

infinite zest - 2016-02-19 Oh that's where SuperDave comes from. All I remember were the animated ones with a few live-action segments throughout. It truly was a golden age for comedy when all you needed was a bad stunt double like SuperDave or stock footage of a car going off a cliff like in Tunces. Why even bother to write dialog?

Old_Zircon - 2016-02-19 Yeah, it's so much different as a US citizen who was never exposed to this. For us Super Dave just kind of emerged from time to time with no context, seeing this is like growing up with Shel Silverstein being the guy who wrote poms that were awesome when you were 8, and then hearing Freakin at the Freaker's Ball for the first time.
Except not as good.

Old_Zircon - 2016-02-19 OR I guess a non-cable-having US citizen.

chumbucket - 2016-02-19 Actually I was raised on a lot of Canadian television non-cable as we lived only about an hour from the border. Everything from You Can't Do That On Television to The Friendly Giant, Littlest Hobo and good ole Bizzare. Not to mention all of the soft core porn that showed up on late night French speaking TV.

I hope that by 'sub-benny hill trash' you meant
'trash, which is below Benny Hill'
and not
'that which is below the trash which is Benny Hill'
