Stumbled upon it again. The famous Canadian Native Indian spoof radio show. Did anyone ever find out the identity of what I read to be the two guys behind this? I think they were DJs at the local radio station around Lethbridge, Alberta in the 80s.
From Wikipedia:
"It started as a fake radio show on a cassette. Then it developed a cult following. Brocket 99 is something of a cultural phenomenon in western Canada. It purports to be a radio program on an Indian reserve. Some people find it hilarious and racey. Others say it's outright racist."
I remember playing in hockey tournaments as a kid in smaller communities like that, and getting chased by Natives with knives. Ha.

This did not register as "funny" on Doof's humourometer.
The shitometer broken the bloody needle though. Hey you, canuck, you owe me a needle.

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Cultural Disconnect.
It's all about pointing out the uncomfortable. Life on a reservation, even today, is about as shit as it gets.

Ok, I said I could use a good laugh. That was not it.
But I'm sure there's some local comedy that I like that most won't get either.
