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

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"

Honestly, what is wrong with people who don't like The Kids in the Hall. I know some people have mentioned not liking them in some of these KITH threads. With quotes like that^, how can anyone be a stickler? Granted I do have a couple friends who wouldn't know comedy if it was a pez dispenser sitting on a chair at a piano recital. But what about humorous quotes? There's no excuse for not liking those quotes

If you have a humor malfunction and care to defend your anti-kids in the hall stance, please go ahead and try to explain. Also, it would help if you mentioned sketch comedy that you do find funny and how it is so much different than Kids in the Hall.

some people don't like sketch comedy

Kids in the Hall is one of my favorite shows ever, but Death Comes to Town looks terrible. :(

man, I went as cabbage head for halloween a couple years ago. I wonder if I was subconsciously inspired by this thread.

here's a better quality video of one I tried to post 4 months ago. someone uploaded a new version

My respect for Mark increased recently when I learned "Standing in the New Style" was his idea. I had always assumed Scott was behind it.

the Nob-a-less O-blige

I was always a Bruce guy when I was younger. I still am but I can see how Bruce would naturally appeal to the younger crowd. I can also see how Mark is finally getting his due respect now that people can re-watch all the episodes on youtube or dvd. When there was that "who is your favorite kid in the hall" poll, Mark scored lowest. The casual viewer just forgot about how great Mark was, and "who is your favorite kid in the hall" is really unfair to all the others anyways.

I'm hoping Death Comes to Town is really funny and the trailer didn't want to reveal a bunch of spoilers, or the jokes are sort of long and couldn't fit into 4 second sound bytes.

^^^ yeah I'm pulling for the latter. can't imagine a funny trailer for brain candy for ex, but that movie is fantastic.

Mark has the disadvantage, when it comes to favorites, of having played their most polarizing character, Chicken Lady. People either love her or hate her, and when they hate her, they realllly hate her. I don't hate Chicken Lady but the only sketch I like is when she goes to the rural farmhouse where she grew up & shares flashbacks of her childhood with the terrified farm couple now living there. Almost everyone I know can't stand her at all, though.

Chicken Lady trivia: Mark consulted with a movement coach when he first played the character, who told him "to move like he has a cloaca."

At the moment, my favorite repeat character is Francesca Fiore.

mark is my fave kid in the hall, i probably voted for him on that thread, but i don't really like chicken lady

so there goes your little THEORY

oooh you picked my main pedant word – it was, in fact, a hypothesis.

i am the antithesis of yr hypothesis

the extended Francesca Fiore mini-movie sketch is so great... "Americans, always with the car chase"

all four of those sketches are from the same episode. that is sick, man.

omg Scott looks like Linda Evans in the custody skit

I'm mostly indifferent to the chicken lady personally. I agree that the flashback/farm home one is probably the best

My favorite Buddy Cole:

Their team names are so amazing.

And his UNIFORM of course.

the one with scott mocking people in the waiting room is not like one of their best sketches or anything but it's definitely one of the ones my wife and i reference the most, along with "fuck the bank i work for ... fuck the baaaaaaaaank"

and by "reference," i mean "act out scott's weird raised eyebrow/two-fingered point gesture"

I love the waiting room one, it's my fave of the ones you posted.

i got all the box sets used on Amazon recently for less than $50 total – best investment of the year.

^^^the most inexplicable KITH sketch? really dunno what they were going for with this one

I laughed my ass off at that one! I also like that it is the last one of the series.

not that that's my favorite, but that song has been going through my head constantly.

I see I gave Mark props for Daryl above. This skit...

Daryl on a blind date and Daryl taking out his date's son are both favorites as well.

has the 'im a bad doctor' sketch been mentioned yet?

Daryl taking out his date's son are both favorites as well.

"I got a girl pregnant"

Thank God someone finally put this on youtube
