Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsIn the parody of "The Babe Ruth Story," Babe Ruth (John Candy) is wearing a number 4 uniform, while the real Babe Ruth wore number 3 and his New York Yankees teammate, Lou Gehrig, wore number 4. (This "goof" may have been intentional, as "SCTV" was likely spoofing the numerous historical and factual inaccuracies that have been featured in countless filmic biographies over the years.)

Featured review
Moulin Rouge Spoof
Funny quick stuff and a good long movie parody.
Moe Green tries calling a contestant for Dialing For Dollars but the phone is dead. He introduces the movie.
Lust For Paint is the spoof of Toulouse Latrec, called Tolain Vantrec (Joe Flaherty) as the short artist who paints on tablecloths. He has streetwalker Marie (Andrea) pose for him. Her jealous boyfriend Baboon (John Candy) beats him up. Hilarious use of a dummy in this scene which became an SCTV trademark.
Celebrity Tattletales promo is a spoof of a game show about celebrities revealing secrets, this one has Prince Phillip (Flaherty) and Queen Elizabeth (O'Hara)
The movie continues as drunk Vantrec meets up with his father (also Flaherty) who gets beaten up by Baboon.
Moe Green's phone is disconnected.
A hilarious Babe Ruth Story promo is next. The Babe (Candy) tells a sick kid he will hit a home run for him. The kid keeps asking for more home runs, then asks him to eat 50 hot dogs and stand on his head before Babe attacks him!
Some commercial repeats-50 Practical Jokes, Mick Mason Police Photographer and Fluffy Puff toilet paper.
The movie concludes with Vantrec on his deathbed.
Moe is fired by Guy Caballero over the phone as the credits roll.
