An Impossible Choice: Kids In the Hall

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?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Can anyone find the salty ham skit on youtube? I can't.

One of my fav Kevin moments...

Oh, that's a great one! I often say "But first... the whores!" in my head.

(Like, when I'm planning things.)

ohman
all so good

OH GOD RRROBYN, I KISS U.

YOU PEOPLE HAVE CARPET ON YOUR HEARTS.

THAT'S EFFIN GOOD HAM, DAD.

I'm non-regretting my Bruce vote.

If we still had changeable usernames today I would be HAM OF TRUTH.

I just edited my Facebook status accordingly.

hahaha xpost
bruce's drunk teenage bobby is so perfect esp the post-puking face he makes

also haha at sundar's 'but first... the whores!' mental notes
my first reaction when someone asks for the salt is still, 'okay but just don't put it in your eye'

if we could wire our brains into youtube my channel wld just be 1st and 2nd season kids in the hall, scenes from twin peaks, and a bunch of music videos from the mid-to-late 80s, that is how burned in they are

The Coop throwing rocks investigation technique scene morphing seemlessly in and out of "Daves I Know"...only Coop's chalkboard has a bunch of Daves' names on it.

I am watching it now.

Bruce was a teenager in other skits too right? He is a hilARious teen.

one of the best things about the anne of green gables tv movie sequel that yknow every canadian has seen at some point is that it has bruce in it playing a small, non-comedy teenager role that still comes off as awkward and hilarious. dave foley is also in this and also in a not supposed to be funny v small role.

2000 reunion was the greatest performance I've ever seen live

censored Comedy Central reruns did nothing to prepare me for the skit where the two neighbor couples start doin' it

you mean "you're next buddy...I want you in me" "NO CAN DO!"

The video doesn't add much to this but it's still a classic track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-XXgQY6xKA

("The Doors had no bass. You see, the Gypsys had no homes.")

ham is a salty food, it's not like porridge or toast or hair

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Bruce lovers

dirty, beastly, sexy, hunky Bruce lovers! God I hate you I hate you I hate you!!

I voted Bruce but Mark is great. Why no Mark fans? He has some of the weirdest characters.

I'm a big Bruce fan, but I voted for Mark. He's got the broadest comedic range. Rewatching the show I'm impressed by what a good actor he is, I wish he was in more stuff.

That's like a total inversion of their greatness.

I still own the Bruce McCullough album.

on my itunes at work. i somehow wound up with two copies of it, i think one is my ex's.

Bruce had multiple comedy albums of his sheer weirdness/brilliance. It's not for everyone.
