Someone has put together this compilation of memorable moments from a Canadian game show for children called Just Like Mom. I’ve never seen it (America #1) but it looks like a really charming show in which children and adults had safe and normal interactions with each other that should not have raised any red flags or made anyone deeply concerned for the safety and mental well-being of the children.
What a fun show! If anything, this show was TOO normal. “What? It’s a game show for kids hosted by adults.”
I am sorry, everyone. We all have to go to jail now. In retrospect, I really shouldn’t have posted this video, and you DEFINITELY shouldn’t have watched it. But everyone makes mistakes. That’s what jail is for. To think about them. (Via BuzzFeed.)

FAKE
(I wish)
Yeah sadly, I can attest that this show isn’t fake – I was on it! These clips seem to be from a few years before I was there (1984 I think) because the hosts look a little younger. Let me tell you – this shit did NOT go down when I was there, thank jeebus! I did apparently insult Fergie Ferg because I was asked how tall I thought Dudley Moore was, and I said “about as tall as Fergie” which got a HUGE laugh from his co-host Catherine, who said “Fergie’s about 5’7, in his heels!”. Fergs was not impressed with my answer. Moms and i totally lost the game because the sneaky witch sitting next to me cheated like a mofo. But I saved the best tidbit for last – his co-host was also his WIFE, and they later had a hugely nasty divorce. Wonder if any of this creeptastic behaviour had anything to do with that.
I would not be surprised if Fergie actually did wear heels.
This guy likes it.
Hey! I tried posting a pic of Stanly Tucci in there underneath my last comment. Crap! Now that comment made me look like a pedo!
Hee hee heee
Watch out! Fergie Olver is behind you!
Fergie Olver’s Pedo Revolution
I’m pretty sure that even if Tina Fey did that it’d still be pretty creepy.
I’m sorry, I stopped watching because I somehow jumped off a building halfway through. Don’t worry, I’m at peace now.
Yes, YES. A THOUSAND times. YES.
I am fucking mortified and will be jumping off right afte- wait. Who am I talking to here?
Lakonislate’s gone.
Less typing more jumping. That’s where the peace is.
Where do you go for dates Lee Ann? Do you like wine coolers? Do you ever hang out in panel vans talking about how great it would be to meet an older guy who really gets you?
Everything about this comment is amazing. Especially the italics.
The sad thing is that he’s still asks better questions than Jay Leno.
“Walk home from school with friends.” Good move, Lee Ann. Lots of friends. With mace. And attack dogs.
“Do you give out hugs and kisses? Do eleven-year-olds go out on dates? Have you ever seen a grown man naked?”
“Do you like movies about gladiators?”
“Have you ever been to a Turkish prison before?”
Ahhh, my darling Videogum. Because that video made me sick (and if I were one of the Moms sitting there next to my daughter I would pull her aside and smack the shit outta that guy. “I guess you won’t win then.” UGH. KILL.), but turning the thread into Airplane references makes everything ok again.
Babies should definitely not be watching this!
Seriously – Fergie’s coming to make out with you next, Notsewfast.
While I also think this comment is amazing, I can’t bring myself to upvote it. *shaking in the corner*

That’s your game show answers.
In England, we call victims of child abuse “lorries”
oh…I posted that after only watching the first 10 seconds. I unpaused after posting and now I am TERRIFIED.
I believe the correct British term is “lorrified.”
Sorry I called you a perv for romancing a 24 year old contestant Richard Dawson, you’re not at all
Lee Ann… or as she’s know in Pervland: Lorry.
My bad, PA… you were quicker on the draw this time!
Yikes. Ok, who wants to share a jail cell? I don’t snore, and I make excellent shanks!
I just woke up and watching this was literally the first thing I have done all day.
GOODNIGHT, EVERYONE. Ugh. Take me down to the dreamland city where the grass is green and perverts are dead and not on Youtube.
This guy makes Richard Dawson look like Richard Karn #gameshowhosthumor
Fergie Ferg is Pervalicious – black eyed pervs
So Canadian television is where the pope transfers his “problem” priests?
No, these are young girls.
Maybe “problem” nuns?
I knew someone who was on this show once!
I couldn’t even make it through the video. Apparently they are doing a remake of it soon. Chris Hansen is finding a host right now.
“In later seasons, all contestants received a prize of a trip to Camp Onondoga, one of the oldest private summer camps in Canada.”
Oh no, I went to that camp! No wonder all the other girls seemed a little jumpy and withdrawn.
Produced by Rowan Polanski, with bandleader Gary Glitter.
Oh right, Roman’s pervy Irish cousin…
This guy fucking EXTORTED that girl into giving him a kiss! What is this SHIT! I Like A Skinny Tie, your country has a lot of explaining to do!

laughed until I choked at this line…
CANADA! After all the time I’ve spent in these comments talking about how great you are! Making Commonwealth matches with Canadian monsters and cutie-pie Australians! Explaining your constitution! Promoting the National Niceness doctrine! And this is what I get in return? Not just an ultra-pervy game show host, but an ultra-pervy pedo-bear game show host? COME ON! You’re tearing me apart, Canada!
I’ve never even heard of this show! Maybe it was only in parts of Canada
Right. Just like how my not owning any stocks or a house or being a government official makes me “not responsible” for the economic collapse. OWN UP TO YOUR PROBLEMS, CANADA. The first step is admitting you have one.
I totally remember this show. I always wanted to be on the baking part of it where the kids would make something out of a bunch of ingredients and the mothers would have to taste all of them and guess which thing their kid made. The random ingredients intrigued me and I mostly just wanted to pour 7-Up into a bowl of chocolate chips.
I remember a show called “Kids Street”, where siblings would do a “newlyweds” type of “how well do you know each other” game. I was always jealous because I’m an only child.
Kid street clap!!
It’s from Toronto. Nothing good ever really came out of that city.
doppelganger avatar? i’m confused.
How did the country that produced You Can’t Do That On Television for children also come up with this! For Children! WHAT?!
I can’t believe that my nation is doing this to me. Luckily I have no recollection of ever seeing this before. Still the worst though.
Oh Canada. What the fuck.
(BUTREALLYCANADAGUM!)
uh, guys, I’m watching this as I fly on a plane and the person next to me just looked over at it and I might really need some bail help. I’m now just preparing myself for the marshals waiting for me at LAX.
I’ve finally gone blind and deaf thanks to this clip. Thanks, the 1970s! I always knew you’d come back and get us somehow.
Note – this was transcribed by a friend, because I’ve gone blind and deaf because of this clip
’70s? Ha. This is Canada. Based on the clothes and haircuts, that show’s from 1994.
Gross, couldn’t make it through. It’s even worse when they slo-mo it. (No slo-mo?)
I would like to think that if I was on this show with my mom, and this creepster started making the moves on my 11-year-old self, my mom would have punched him in his molester face instead of calling him a “dirty old man.”
Canadians, you’re too nice! Every adult on the game show, in the audience and even the camera crew should have jumped him the first time he tried to pull that shit.
knock off that child touching stuff buddy or I’ll get off my horse and hit you with a stick, and it won’t really hurt but it will annoy you
I’ll bet the host wears Speedos on the beach… and that’s not even a Canadian thing!
Uh, yeah it is. Every June all the Quebecois shed their winter coats to reveal their natural Speedo/leather mandals/black socks coverings.
TUTF.
Too Disturbing To Finish.
To UNCOMFORTABLE.
Wow. I am on today.
*Too
Sorry.
I fail. I’m going back to sleep now.
Oh yeah, you can totally tell by her body language and being an eleven year old that she is EXACTLY that kind of young lady.
NO YOU MAY NOT!!! DEAR GOD, NO!
I like your avatar ‘s reaction to watching this.
I usually take my afternoon Ipecac a little later, but this will do.
If being in jail will keep this guy away from me, then I accept your jail cell offer, Gabe.
However, I can only pay 5 cigarettes for it.
Petition to put the 1970s on the Sex Offenders Register starts here
If anything, it’s a little TOO much like mom.
“eight year olds, Dude.”
You want an upvote? I can get you an upvote, believe me. There are ways, Brr. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you an upvote by 3 o’clock this afternoon…with nail polish. These fucking amateurs…
LEAVE ALISON ALONE!!
Poor Lorraine, no one wanted to sexually harass her. After all the time she spent on her Toni home perm, her wretched slut of a daughter got all the attention.
Fucking age of consent, how does it work?
There is clearly no consent there.
HOLY ****
So I decided the only way I would feel better about watching this video was finding out this dude was Jail King of Jail City, Population: Jail, and instead I found something that claims that “Just Like Mom” became the longest running game show in Canadian history. Fergie Olver hosted it with his wife. And he went on to be a Toronto Blue Jays announcer for twenty years. The exact opposite of jail (maybe?)!
Canada, do I even really know you? I feel like you have not been completely upfront with me.
I guess you answered my question below. I didn’t look because I didn’t want the google result #1 to be “Nope, not in jail!”
I don’t know… 20 years of announcing Blue Jays’ games. Kinda sounds like jail to me! #sportsgum #lenomonologues
Notice the look of disgust and contempt when a female adult gives him a peck on the cheek. “Eeeww, yuck”.
So, this guy is in jail now, right? RIGHT?! Please?!
Where is my (hot tub) time machine, I need to go back and send a complaint letter to the CRTC! Canadiangum.
Wow Just threw up in my mouth a LOT
This is what we barf about when we barf about barf.
Oh. Oh no. Count me among those who couldn’t finish it. i watched the first 30 seconds before stopping the video to preserve my sanity/relative happiness. Gross.
This makes me think 2012 can’t come soon enough.
I wish one of these had been with a boy contestant. Yes, they had little boys on a show called Just Like Mom.
Canada, this almost entirely erases you winning the gold medal in Olympic hockey for me.
RESET BUTTON, PLEASE!
Hey I just started reading this thread tonight. Oh look, it’s a fun times video with sounds and images to watch on the old videogum web address. Let’s turn it on to see wh-WAIT, UM, NO, STOP PLEASE SH- OH FU-……Um EXCUSE ME -
(sorry i suck!i wish there was a delete button big fail!)
