An Impossible Choice: Kids In the Hall

everyone I know that's seen it digs it

I like The Whitest Kids You Know.

I also know people who don't like the Kids in the Hall. The same type of people who'd never spend all day on ILX. Makes you think.

xxxxpost i took a lot of convincing but im definitely warming up to it. esp the mom/dad/teenager in the kitchen skits. i still cant stand the on stage "hi...Im dave foley..blah blah blah <insert something terribly clever>" skits though.

sunny comes around!

oh Foley did some great monologues, though. he's the man with a positive attitude toward menstruation!

also: the bad doctor

really I'd probably lean toward voting for Bruce (Shame Based Man is definitely in my top 3 comedy albums of all time, been meaning to pick up his other CD), but with all the love for him here I might go with someone else.

i thought of kenan when I saw the menstruation one

btw pp and i have been watching these from the beginning since january. it the first time for me. i can see how you could absolutely love this show if you first saw it in college

my favorite solo scott sketch:

I have more friends who look like Bruce. Runner-up would be Mark.

Here's one of 'em:

I occasionally see people around that look like Kevin, but frankly, they kinda scare me.

oh, i love the on-stage sketches.

"i'm sorry for causing all that cancer."

I'll vote Bruce, but Kevin could take any of them at his best.

"Maybe I'll grow a beard..."

"the beard stays, you go!"

Beard is superclassic

is there anyone on ilx that doesn't like kids in the hall?

Ned doesn't like it iirc.

ban ned.

i'm not sure why, but this is one of my favorite KITH sketches

life is a pretty sweet fruit

i was looking for the "oh my hip!" one where bruce seduces his mother's elderly friends. i love when dave comes out of the kitchen with a tray of cocktails saying "i found these martinis in the crisper!" kills me every time.

fuck the bank i work for ... fuck the b-b-b-baaaank

censored version ;_;

i can't find the video, but i love the drunk as a crow sketch.

Bruce: Oh, good for you, Stephen, you're drunk, you're stupid, and you're in a hotel, are you happy, Stephen, are you happy?

Kevin: I am sober, fatso!

Bruce: Yeah, Stephen, I'm fat, I'm very fat. Tell me, are you drunk because you're stupid, or are you stupid because you're drunk?

...

Kevin: My minibar is empty- it's so small! [looks at the empty minibar]

Bruce: How'd it get empty, Stephen?

Kevin: I emptied it.

Bruce: Why?

Kevin: Consumption.

Bruce: Well, my minibar is empty as well.

Kevin: Ah-ha! You're drunk! [loses his balance and falls back onto the bed]

Bruce: Yes I am, but I'm not stupid, Stephen. Now listen, all I've got left is the champagne, the playing cards, and the cashew nuts. Now, do you want them?

Kevin: Yes.

Bruce: Alright. I'll send them over, Stephen, but listen, Stephen, for God sakes, don't play cards for money because you're drunk, and don't drink the champagne to celebrate how stupid you are. Eat the cashews and go to bed, and when you wake up, which'll be a half an hour from now, you'll say, "My God, I got drunk and spent eleven dollars on a handful of cashew nuts, boy am I stupid, luckily I'm no longer drunk."

[Kevin snores into the phone - he's fallen asleep with the phone balanced on his face.]

Bruce: You're drunk, you're stupid, and you're asleep on my phone line, what a frightening apparition you are.

where is the cool dad sketch on youtube? i ACHE for it.

whenever a bargaining situation comes up, i always think, "how about...a dollar."

every time I eat cooked oatmeal, I refer to it as "Mr. Stevenson 2"

I didn't realize that the "cool dad" sketch was based on the life of James Lileks.

bellll. bivvv. devooooe.

syrop

it's between Kevin and Dave for me.

I don't think I remember a "cool dad" sketch. I remember "HE'S 45."

HE'S HIP. HE'S COOL. HE'S 45.

my favorite sketch when i was a teen was for some reason the SOMEONE'S GONNA GET A THOUSAND DOLLARS one

now I love the 'life's a pretty sweet fruit' one... my god. BIG LAUGHS. that bruce.

there are so many grwat ones - i could never pick one sketch.
i've never told anyone this - but at the end of their final episode, i cried.
totally fucking serious here.

the one's with bruno ponce-jones and francesca fiori are like 3 or 4 steps above godhead

morbs and alex are both right

I saw this movie that Dave wrote and starred in called "The Wrong Guy," on a flight to Toronto. I was kind of drunk, and it was the funniest movie I had ever seen in my life at that moment. Has anyone else seen this? I still quote it to myself, in my mind.

VOODOO PORK

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