May the Farce be with you


Royal Canadian Air Farce, the long-running CBC sketch comedy show, is in the midst of its final few episodes, with the grand finale coming on December 31.

While Air Farce was seldom as good as This Hour Has 22 Minutes, particularly when the latter had Rick Mercer or Mark Critch, it was still a solid ground for satire of Canadian politics.

The official Air Farce site I linked to above contains video clips of their entire 15-year TV run - in fact, every episode ever, which is really quite remarkable.

There are song parodies ('Osama Sama Ding Song'), celebrity guest stars (Peter Mansbridge and a whole lot of politcians), and lots more!
