Forum:Is this the origin of "House of Pancakes"?
Coincidence? Prophetic dream sequence?
- Nope, just disturbing and unnerving in new and exciting ways.--Symuun 16:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I thought it came from IHOP, although I've never been to one. I've never left my house, come to that... --Sir Jam 18:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- You didn't miss much. It's not actually made out of pancakes.--Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 19:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
As the idiot who lobbied for the name change, I can give you the definitive answer. I'm an avid fan of SCTV, and it comes from a series of sketches with John Candy (in the role of "Dr. Tongue") and Eugene Levy: Dr. Tongue's 3-D House of Stewardesses, Dr. Tongue's 3-D House of Beef, Dr. Tongue's 3-D House of Pancakes, etc.
I loved those stupid bits, and they've always stayed stuck in my brain. The so-called "3-D effect" would just have the actors shoving some object toward and away from the camera a few times while a cheesy sound effect played. Idiotic and funny. I could think of no better haven for the illustrious BENSON. --Sir Todd GUN WotM MI UotM NotM MDA VFH AotM Bur. AlBur. CM NS PC (talk) 20:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Cheesy? Cheesy! That was state-of-the-art for Canadian television at the time. Come to think of it, that's still state-of-the-art for Canadian TV.--Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:13, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
