Quando Amni Flunkus Morti (Wisdom from the Red Green Show)

[Drake the Dragonheart]

So are there any fans of the old PBS comedy skit the Red Green Show out there amongst the escapists?

I got my folks the complete 2000 and 2001 seasons of the show for last Christmas and they absolutely loved it, so I was inspired to make this thread, and all it took was a little duct tape and complete disregard for safety, my own or that of anyone else.

If so, what are some of your favorite moments from the show? What was your favorite of Red's crazy contraptions that violate about 10-20 safety regulations? How does Winston come up with all those septic related rhymes?

My favorite handy man corner has to be where Red tries to put a drive-through restaurant in the back of a car. One of my favorite episodes is the first of the 2001 season, where Harold returns to the lodge to be the new PR director for Possum Lake, and Red builds an automatic dog wash.

If it moves and it isn't supposed to, use duct tape. If is supposed to move and doesn't, use WD-40.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Quando Amni Flunkus Morti. Sit down. Bow your heads for the mans prayer. "I am a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.

We love the Red Green Show. (And I also have the movie.)

Let's see... My father always enjoyed Hap's epic yarns of bullhonkey. My mother especially liked Handyman Corner. My brother loves all the Edgar moments, because he's Edgar. We all love jokes about duct tape and usually have a few rolls around the house. Really, I just liked the whole damn thing. Stuff that I've enjoyed about the show...

When something goes very wrong with the handyman project of the week.

When something goes ACTUALLY RIGHT with the handyman project of the week.

When Harold and Red impersonated each other.

"Hep, hep! I'm covered in solder!"

Bill. Bill is just made of awesome. (He'd have to be in order to survive all that he has!)

There is just...so much. It was a great thing to grow up to, and I don't always find other people who were actually into this show. But when I do, it's a happy day. (I've actually done things like duct tape my chinese lunch-to-go so the sauce doesn't spill out!)
