An Impossible Choice: Kids In the Hall

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.

I have discovered irritating people are really easy to handle if you pretend they are Gavin.

kinda sad story about Foley here: http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/article/952260--comedian-dave-foley-fears-arrest-owes-500-000-in-child-support?bn=1

wow

I kinda just feel sorry for everybody in that scenario

god, that is gutwrenching. keep ya head up, dave.

The whole KITH series on DVD is $34.99 right now on Amazon. I just ordered one. Maybe Dave will see a little of that $$...

that's crazy depreciation. a few years ago they were going for that much per season

Yeah, I think it was marked down from $99.00 or so...and free shipping.

yeah fuck -- i might buy that and give away the season 1 and 2 sets i already got

those poll results looked familiar...

Interview w/ Scott on his new graphic novel and the role it played in his cancer treatment:

Has anyone read the Husk comic?

Just re-watching KITH these days.

This is funny, because the list represents my favourite Kid to my 'least favourite'. I gather Bruce is a lot of people's favourite here because he was the musician and brought a lot of the music aspects to KITH.

And like the OP said, there are weaknesses in all of them. I always wondered why I enjoyed Bruce's sketches so much when he himself said he was no longer enjoying doing them (around season 3, I believe?).

Dave seems to be the one that was consistently good, however.

bruce is a lot of ppl's favorite because he was fucking hilarious
