Kids In The Hall - what's your favorite sketch(es)

http://www.kithfan.org/work/transcripts/three/bheight.html

It is a very brief interlude sketch - Bruce and Kevin are standing outside an office building ogling passing women. don't remember what season its from though.

good lord that transcript site is intensive! but on the plus side, it reminded me of "What kind of restauraunt are you running that you don't understand how time works?"

i remember laughing at that but not sure why. was the joke that he just wanted an apology?

no, he wanted the apology 20 minutes ago

Bruce: Am I the only one who's listening?!?!?! Is this such a hard thing to understand?!!?! I don't want it now!!!

Mark: Allright, why don't we turn our watches back twenty minutes?

Scott: Yeah!

Mark: [To Scott] Turn your watch back.

Scott: I'm doing it.

Bruce: That won't work! Time goes forward! Don't you know that? What kind of restauraunt are you running that you don't understand how time works?

Mark: How can we satisfy you, sir?

Bruce: By giving me what I've been asking for, for three hours! An apology!

Mark: Well of course we're sorry, sir.

Scott: [leans in to Kevin] We're very sorry.

[Kevin growls and tries to bite Scott]

Scott: Jesus!

[Bruce throws money on the table and gets ready to leave]

Bruce: That's all I wanted. That wasn't so hard was it. Next time, give someone their bill when they ask for it.

[Bruce is now in a nutty bunny suit.]

Bruce: It works to your advantage. [He starts to walk out and then turns around.] I'm not unreasonable. I'm a nutty bunny.

Kevin: I never got my water.

Bruce: I don't like to complain. I like to frolic. I'm a nutty bunny. I'm a little creature.

[Dave drinks his coffee and looks like he is recovering from hearing a really funny joke.]

[Mark and Scott exchange confused looks]

aha!

somehow this sketch and the henry louis gates situation has jumbled up in my head.

you know, i think the sketch i thought i remembered might have been from a scottish sketch show called Absolutely... i don't know, though (it was VERY brief)

shakey is correct. i think the shtick was abt the fractional padding out thing people do, except here it was more like "i'm packing a whopping 1 and 5/8, not that i'm bragging" and "yeah, i gave her the whole 1 and 9/16 inches, but not all at once" and so on.

yeah, that's the one. so was it KITH? i'm pretty sure it was kevin MCDONALD (doh) who said the "an inch and a half? that would SCARE a woman!" line.

i'm o kay

dave foley on chocolate looks a lot like dave foley circa 2009.

yeah, that's the one. so was it KITH? i'm pretty sure it was kevin MCDONALD (doh) who said the "an inch and a half? that would SCARE a woman!" line.

it is definitely a KITH bit - its in either seasons 2, 4, or 5, and my memory is that its Kevin and Bruce.

ha, ditto -- "it's a fact" is one of those phrases I cannot think or say without that particular inflection coming out

thanking u

No love for Skorda, the Gentle Shark?

(also there are days when I cannot stop myself saying "Vaya con dios, Fagót," much to the consternation of friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc)

Oh man, the Gavin at the butcher sketch. There is something of the proto-ilxor about our Gavin.

i don't even have to watch that I know it so well.

<3 gavin

Is gavin same kid who adopts mr. stephenson?

i don't think so, there are some similarities though

for comparative purposes:

clearly not the same, mom calls him "corey"

I'm now convinced KITH used forced perspective or something to make him appear that way.

corey is proto-gavin.

there are so many things from kids in the hall that i "quote", or rather i just say them and have long forgotten that they came from kith or anything else.

I'm now convinced KITH used forced perspective or something to make him appear that way.

bruce is v v short. they wouldn't need to do much forcing.

the one where gavin's jailed dad gets released to attend the funeral of gavin's mom and send him off to live with his girlfriend: SAD

yo, season 2, episode 17. and the scary length is 3 3/16".

every once in a while i wonder "where is the 'it's a fact' girl today?"

thanks slugbuggy!

Americans. They give, and then they take.

oh mark...

seeing all the great Mark skits makes it kind of depressing that he did so poorly on the 'who is your favorite KITH poll'.

here's another great skit (with mark), and the quality is kinda bad

Just remembered this one the other day. Maybe you are one of the three other people in the world who will find this endlessly hilarious.

I really liked their new dancing skit they did on their last tour. "This is how I danced in 9th grade..."

i always think about this one set in an office conference room and they all turn out to be aliens who eat light for food and the sketch ends with them all shining flashlights in their mouths with the lights out.

anyone know what I'm talking about???? I haven't seen it forever

I have never seen that "3 3/16" bit at all! Must've never been shown on the CBC version, same as that "Dr. Seuss Bible" thing.

Maybe my two faves: Bruce forcing his son to watch him get pathetically drunk on his 13th birthday ("Ten bucks...is ten bucks. Twenty bucks...is twenty bucks...But thirty bucks..."), and this one:

OMG, Myonga, I posted those two clips specifically in another KITH thread!

Haha, so you did! Albeit with more success than me in finding the drunk dad sketch.

Some more favourite clips on that thread too: "Screw the Bank" and "My Pen"

love that sketch. i wonder if it was influenced by the popularity of the church lady.

delivery is so perfect... and yet its true, the preacher character is a total comedy failsafe device

also whenever anybody uses the term critic around me I instantly hear Mark's careful enenciation of "CRITICS, GIVEN TO CRITICISM"
