My favorite of their routines is "Rinse the Blood Off My Toga!" which is a rework of Julius Caesar as though it had been written by Mickey Spillane (of The Maltese Falcon fame), and then done up as a TV detective show. But I do not recommend the version of that routine that is up on youtube -- it's been butchered!
I have an old Wayne and Shuster LP that includes audio-only versions of both of these sketches, along with "I Was a TV Addict" (a thoroughly forgettable true-confessions style routine) and "Frontier Psychiatrist" (a sendup of a totally stereotyped Freudian analyst in the Old West).
A few quotes from FP:
"This program is respectfully dedicated to those brave pioneers -- the Frontier Psychiatrists -- who brought mental health to the West!"
"Tell me... When did you first discover you hated your horse?" <--Viennese accent
"I don't hate my horse!" <--bad "cowboy" accent
"Then when did you first discover your horse hated you?"
and on, and on.
Xenophon
