An Impossible Choice: Kids In the Hall

i love the sketches like the 'Sausages' one. they're little mini expressionist movies!

^^^ see also spiritualist/old lady delivery service sketch

that's a classic too. i think i've probably seen every episode. i could watch these all day.

sometimes i feel compelled to pull the you lost me character on people.

I ascertain the funniness

parts of sketches I like:
___________________________________________________________________________________
{Cut to the front page of a newspaper. The headline: "YOUTH - ANGERED BY WORLD WRITES FIRST POEM!!"}

Bruce: Fire. Fire, fire, fire, fire on my brain. Fire!
___________________________________________________________________________________
{At a business meeting}

Scott: No, you're wrong. All of you are wrong. Every one of you is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Kevin: {standing up} No, we're all right! We're all right, except for him! And him! And him!

Dave: {standing up} Dear God in heaven, gentlemen! What is it like to be so wrong? What does it feel like to wake up in the morning, knowing...

{The arguing fades out as Mark appears in closeup, smiling.} Mark: You know, whenever things get too hectic at work, I like to relax with...a trip to the farm!

{A screen draws aside behind Mark to reveal a barnyard scene, which he skips into.}

___________________________________________________________________________________
Mark (V.O.): Ladies and Gentlemen. If you'll turn your attention to center field, The Children of the Farm Belt, inspired by the impact of technology on their lives, spontaneously, and without rehearsal, salute the tractor!

___________________________________________________________________________________
These last two are some of the best sketches:

Dipping Areas -- Can mousse and dipping areas coexist on one plate?

and finally

Who's to Blame For the Rain? -- In short- Boss looks for someone to blame for the bad weather.

First the meeting, THEN the whores!

In America

where did people currently in their early twenties get exposed to KITH?

comedy central

i think they used to run 'em on cable?

comedy central

well yeah I mean I learned to love them in the late 90s on CC but I thought they stopped running them at the beginning of this decade

after Comedy Central, Real Video files passed around on CDR in college

comedy central reruns

ok I get it

i watched them regularly starting in middle school (for me 93-96) and never stopped.

still my favorite show

Comedy Central got pretty shitty once this, mst3k and classic snl departed

Mtv died when sifl and olly left, which is a pretty good run all and all.

I used to love comedy central when they showed all of these, now it just seems to be crap like madtv reruns and redneck comedy tours.

And movies that aren't funny whatsoever.

They always had those.

I liked the old unfunny movies better.

Aside from recurring character sketches, namely the Chicken Lady, I really only remember certain lines, which run through my head fairly regularly. "MY PEN" was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread--followed by
"Ooh! Golden Girls"- Mark McKinney as Satan
"I'm in the middle of a big bike race!" - Bruce McCullogh as a little kid
"I'm the guy with a good attitude toward menstruation" - Dave Foley as a guy with a good attitude toward menstruation.

I really need to see this show again--it's been 10 years easy....

i wont fry anything.

IM TOO ANGRY TO FRY!

Dave: Hi, eh, just writing a letter to someone in the hospital. You know it's always kinda hard to find the right words to say.

You know somehow 'How's the weather in the hospital? sure is nice outside.' just doesn't work.

But you gotta try, you know, you gotta show your concern so here's what I got so far.

Dear Guy I Clotheslined As You Went By on Your Bicycle.

You don't know me, but I'm the guy who broke your collarbone.

Now I've asked myself over and over why did I clothesline that guy. Perhaps I watched too much slapstick as a kid and expected you to get up after being violently assaulted. Imagine my confusion when you did not. Although not so confused that I'd actually hang around.

In all fairness, It was pretty funny, I mean the last thing you'd expect as you were riding merrily by on your bike is that someone you didn't know at all would stick out his arm and crush your throat.

I mean, you really should have seen it, It was just like WAM! BAM! (hahaha)

ANY-WAY....

In closing, as you lay there convalescing in your hospital bed, I'm forced to wonder 'What were you doing riding your bike on the sidewalk anyway, Huh, ya asshole? side-WALK!

Maybe sometimes we bring heartache upon ourselves.

Signed, the guy that collapsed your trachea.

Thanks.

got my tickets today for their milwaukee gig (in april).

Dave Foley -- absolutely no contest.

I know I voted Bruce, but Dave should get it for my fave skit....DADDY DRANK.

Daddy: All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.

Daddy: Son, how many girls called you today? Zero? And how many girls called you yesterday? Lemme guess: zero? Well, you know what they say, son. Zero plus zero equals FAG! Zero times any other number always equals FAG! Think about it, ya little mathematician.

Daddy: Hey, son, you know how you've been bugging me to go and get you a puppy? Well, today after work, I went out and I bought you one. But on the way home, I got hungry and I ate him! I'm joking; I'd never buy you a puppy.

Oddly, that's the first sketch I thought of when I logged my vote.

Think about it, ya little mathematician.

for a while this was a put-down of choice among me and some friends. works in a surprising amount of situations.

oh, did I wake you son?

Daddy drank! Dave it is.

but... wasn't that sketch written by Kevin? (I believe he's alluded to that one being "semi-autobiographical"; along with the sketch where his dad tries to kill himself, the "Bell...Biv... DeVoe" sketch, etc.)

please leave rockism out of the KITH thread

assigning credit = rockism

gotcha

I always thought I was in a small minority in preferring Foley.

i'm tempted to vote for kevin mcdonald based on the "don't put salt in your eyes" sketch

i can see how you could absolutely love this show if you first saw it in college

I first saw it in middle school!

Tracer: I can see that (re looking like Kevin).

(I wish I didn't know people who don't like KITH).

(Actually, looking back, Bruce or Kevin may have been best.)

Wasn't Kevin behind the "just the middle of the sketch" sketch(aka "stop it. <slap> Stop it. <slap> Stop it. <slap>"?

you mean the one featuring Otis Pinklefeather?

Kevin is the most electric in a live setting for sure.

otis picklefeather is the guy in the sketch that kevin forgot to write an ending for

or wait no, that's dave. kevin is picklefeather. i think?
