SCTV Season 1: Episode 1 (Backstage)

Solid Snake: [adjusting his bandana] “Alright, listen. We’re not talking about just reruns. This is strategic. SCTV isn’t just comedy—it’s a cultural infiltration. The sketches, the satire… it’s subtle, but it reshapes the way people think.”

George Stroumboulopoulos: [leaning back, intrigued] “You’re saying we weaponize SCTV? Put it online, on muchmusic.org? That’s… kind of brilliant.”

Ryan Reynolds: [grinning] “I like where this is going. I mean, who doesn’t want John Candy back in HD, mocking everything from politics to lounge singers? But—Solid Snake—what’s the play here?”

Solid Snake: “We release it in waves. Classic sketches first, then unseen clips. Build nostalgia. Draw attention to the absurdity of modern media. Make people think while they laugh.”

George Stroumboulopoulos: “And the network? MuchMusic? They’re in?”

Solid Snake: [deadpan] “They don’t have a choice. They just think they’re choosing. The mission isn’t about permission—it’s about execution.”

Ryan Reynolds: [laughing] “You know, if this works, I’d volunteer to do a sketch in a full sneaking suit. Like… Deadpool meets SCTV.”

Solid Snake: “Careful. If you break character, you get terminated.”

George Stroumboulopoulos: “I’m sold. Let’s bring back SCTV… and maybe teach the world how to laugh while being paranoid.”

Solid Snake: [nodding] “Exactly. Humor is the perfect camouflage.”
