The Birth of Bob and Doug
According to Canadian broadcasting regulations, all Canadian television shows must include a certain amount of Canadian content. SCTV needed Canadian content, so Bob and Doug McKenzie were born.
How to Speak Canadian
Hosers, Toques, and Two-Four
Most countries have their own slanguage, and Canada is no exception. Here is some of the slang used in this song:
toque: pronounced t'yewk; this is a knit cap, sometimes called a toboggan
two-four: pronounced toofer; this is a 24-pack of beer
hoser: pronounced hozer; this is a loser, harking back to the days when the loser of a hockey game would have to hose down the rink

What ARE the Twelve Days of Christmas?
Bob and Doug contemplate the 12 days of Christmas
This is part of the banter leading up to the song, which was deleted from this video version. But it is very important information!
Bob: Hey, hoser! Here's a quiz ... quiz for Doug.
Doug: Okay, I got my thinking toque on!
Bob: Yeah, right. What are the twelve days of Christmas?
Doug: Um.
Bob: Cuz figure it out, right? Christmas is when?
Doug: The 25th.
Bob: Right. Well, what's the 24th? Christmas Eve, right.
Doug: That's two.
Bob: Then, what's after that?
Doug: Wrestling Day?
Bob: No.
Doug: Boxing Day.
Bob: That's three. Then what's after that? Nothin'.
Doug: New Year's.
Bob: Four.
Doug: New Year's Eve.
Bob: Five. Where d'ya get twelve?
Doug: Uh ... there's two Saturdays and Sundays in there, four. Thats nine, and three other days which I believe are the Mystery Days.
Christmas Day is the FIRST day of Christmas, not the last.
