No Canadian needs an introduction to this, but for anyone who doesn't know The Red Green Show is a Canadian television program that combined a sitcom and a sketch comedy and parodied do-it-yourself and other outdoor-living television shows.
Amongst the various sketches was [i]Adventures With Bill[/i], a narrated black-and-white "silent movie" format sketch that involved Bill Smith attempting to do a mundane task but failing and getting hurt horribly each time. It's basically slapstick and everyone loves slapstick so I'm going to share my favourite clips with you: (video quality varies)

If you have any other clips, please post them. (There are tons of great Handyman Corner sketches on youtube)
I loved this show when I was younger.
Red Green taught me how to be a real man.
I used to watch this show every morning before school, :iia:
It was in the USA for a while, but I haven't seen it in years.
I love this show
Aww, I thought this was the show with Mr. Bill, the ever-dying clayman.

I used to watched this all the time! I've asked for dvd's of the show for multiple gift-giving occasions but have never gotten one. :sigh:

I don't remember
I loved this show when I was a kid, haven't seen it for years.
Guess what channel this is on in America.
PBS. The one with all the English dramas and boring documentaries on the declining populations of pigeons.
