Lothar of The Hill People was a recurring sketch from 1989 to 1990.
The sketch would typically begin with Lothar's theme song, sung in full chorus over footage of Lothar running across his native hills. Lothar would address the camera with the words "I am Lothar of the Hill People! Much have I seen, and much have I done, for I am Lothar of the Hill People!"
Then Lothar (Mike Myers), a fearsome barbarian chieftain, would join his fellow chieftains, Org of the Bog People (Jon Lovitz) and Tyler of the T- Birds (Phil Hartman) around a fire pit to talk about domestic troubles, the minor annoyances of day to day life and their difficulties coping with their spouses.
They would always talk in a highly boastful, epic manner and would proudly refer to their warrior heritage and their great deeds in battle. They would often speak of their strange primitive dieties and mystical places and events yet their tales were, at their core, highly relatable to contemporary times. They were men who, despite their prowess on the battlefield, were dissatisfied and frustrated with their home life and incapable of coping with their family problems and balancing them with the stress of being a barbarian chieftain. They frequently complain about difficulties "walking" (having sex) with their women due to familial interference, middle age or other distractions.
It is likely that this sketch derives its name from the 60's hippie rock group Lothar and The Hand People.
I saw an interview with Mike Myers a while back and he said that after everything he has done in his career - Wayne, Shrek, Austin Powers, etc. - about one in five people who approach him go “Hey! Lothar of the Hill People!” and he found it hysterical.
Oct 8, 2018 · I am Chieftan of all the Hill People! But in my own hut, I am deemed no better than foul humors discharged from the body! Faldor: Ah, yes. I, too, have worn the brown helmet. It vexes me! Lothar: You know, I will do battle with my woman, and lose. I will do battle with my woman, and win.. and yet, I still lose!
