An Impossible Choice: Kids In the Hall

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

aww. i would totally sign his guestbook.

So happy to have my beautiful boys back.

Don't even care that they're playing all the hits - Buddy Cole, Kathy with a K, Erradicator, etc. - they're still great and the new stuff is on the same level, the post apocalyptic classic rock DJ is one of the bleakest sketches I've seen.

Plus they're the ultimate champs of mocking corporate culture and that has only further swallowed the world up since they were last around.

Also get ready for a lot of full frontal male nudity!

come on, surely I'm not the only ILXor left who loves KITH?

Stoked to see this. I binged the original show when it was on... netflix? I've never seen the movie or the other series.

Love Bruce McCulloch's Shame Based Man album.

Came across this by accident, I barely ever check Amazon Prime video and I feel like news of a KITH reunion has hardly been circulated! Anyway, fully satisfying so far, very much "the thing I remember" without feeling like a rehash. Amazed that in 2022 there was still a funny "Zoom meeting" sketch to be written.

loved bruce in that zoom sketch. two eps in bc i'm trying to make it last, enjoying it so far. loving all the gratuitous nudity.

The full frontal thing is def a new twist! I don’t think they leaned too heavy on the old characters and they didn’t hold back making fun of themselves a lot too. The eradicator sketch really had me laughing. There was a few guest appearances from some other old school Canadian comics that made me smile too.

I will say the "friends of kith" bits were uniformly unfunny and felt very un-KITH as well, but thankfully they were very short.

Same quality at the original series I’d say too. Not everything lands, but overall there’s some great stuff

agreed. so far imho theyre threading the needle just right as far as acknowledging the reality that theyre old dinosaurs without making every sketch be about that. and im happy with the balance of familiar stuff vs new material, across their various projects & tours over the years theyve never seemed to have trouble writing new stuff.

4 eps in and it feels like one of the most successful of these reboots. Agreed with the criticisms above but it’s easy to forget things sometimes landed weird on the original as well.

Awww, glad to hear this is good, I really want to see it at some point but don't have Amazon.

I’ve been out of the country but will start watching tonight!
