mark mckinney as the weird gay man dragging scott thompson as a jock hayseed back to his place: "how come everytime i come to the city some guy takes me to a leafs game then tries to blow me?"

"try it know " has become a recurring joke amongst some of my friends. We would occasionally (fairly infrequently) just say "try it now"

I just watched one of the first season episodes, and some of the humor -- especially the stuff about gay folks -- seems really dated. (The stuff about Canada still seems pretty classic.) Or maybe I'm just older. I can't believe these early shows are, like, 15 years old!

I love lots of KITH but I also find a lot of it kind of . . . depressing.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 05:18 (twenty years ago) link

oh man, I just remembered my other classic fave, the dinner party with the two couples, where Scott undoes his button and his wife is embarassed and he says it's ok, we're old friends then proceeds to start fucking his friends wife saying don't worry, he won't mind. So many good lines in that skit... I have to find it and post the whole damn thing now...

ok I can't find it. I'll just mention these instead:

Dave Foley w/ Breasts "Danny? Do these look new? Stop Staring Danny."

Scott Thompson wants his wife Kevin to pay more attention to his nipples, she doesn't want to because he pees from them, Scott says "Honey, I pee through my penis" Kevin starts to disgustedly wash his mouth out with water.

"Why shouldn't everyone know about my problems with the ol' ding-a-ling? . . . cracks up'I want you in me!'/holding back peals of laughter 'Sorry, no can do!'"

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 05:31 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, Dan, that must have been one of the best ones.

Also, "Here's to [Bob?] and ritual murder!"

thanks

Dave: Sorry, no can do! Although I'd love to! [turns towards Mark] Oh sure Nina, I experimented with homosexuality in college, but then who didn't? Oh! And I drank human blood! There, I said it and I feel better for having said it!

Buddy doing the Wizard of Oz routine with Tammy and the Tammy video, that's priceless.

Segragation...in the nation...and dance

Tammy Tammy! What do you think of abortion?

the one where they're playing cards and talking about how they wish they could menstruate/had breasts/were lesbians. but what I love is the ending, where they decide every card is wild, so everyone has four aces, except Dave, who shrugs, "I got nothing", and they look at his cards, "wow, he's right!".

Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 14:56 (twenty years ago) link

Gee, I'd like to buy that stereo, would you take ... a dollar?
No, I was thinking more like .. a hundred ninety five DOllars.
Hmmm... how about .. a dollar.
Let's seeeee... maybe I could do something like .. a hundred ninety five DOllars.
OK OK .. how about a dollar?
I see where you're going, I hear what you're saying.. How about .. a hundred ninety five DOllars.

I always loved some of the super surreal bits on this show, like the "Honey, I had the sandwich dream again" one and the entire feaux-noir Sausages skit. Scott as the old man "I like saaaaAAAAAUsages!" lingers in my brain in a hilarious but unpleasant way.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago) link

how is it possible that Buddy Cole hasn't (I think) been mentioned yet? my favorite: "noone wants to know I'm gay, and even less people want to know that I'm Canadian."

Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:02 (twenty years ago) link

Every time I go on vacation:
"Number one is off, number two is off, number three is off, number four is off. they're all off. because number one is off, number two is off, number three is off, number four is off. "

I hate the swiss.

has anyone seen scott thompson's special on comedy central? it was strange... amusing in parts, but a lot of it was just bizarre. lots of weird gay/race/sex jokes that weren't exactly funny.

Oh my god that one where Scott Thompson's sweat smells good and they bottle it and Dave Foley-as-the-boss get's all hairy hippie dashiki!

Dave: Hi, uh . . . my name is David Foley, and uh . . . . [pause due to applause] thank you. . .thank you very much. That's very kind of you, very kind of you. Uh . . . I was just wanting to . . . uh , tell you about something that's happened. . . uh, during this week of rehearsals, something we sort of came across, something, well . . . we, sort of, discovered. Um, uh... and certainly nothing we ever expected to do as a comedy troupe, and I'm sure it's nothing you, as a comedy audience, ever expected to hear from a comedy troupe. Ok, here it is... uh, we discovered the cause of cancer. [laughter, applause] I guess, uh, the [stammering] best thing to do is to just bring Bruce out here. Bruce, are you there? Bruce McCulloch, ladies and gentlemen. Bruce McCulloch.
[applause as Bruce wanders out on stage, waving to the audience]

Dave: Bruce has something that he'd like to say to everyone. Go ahead, Bruce.

Bruce: Hi.

Dave: Go on, Bruce.

Bruce: Hi.

Dave: Just do it, Bruce. Come on. [The two of them argue slightly]

Bruce: OK, you asked me. . .

Dave: Well, just do it. . .

Bruce: Fine. I'll do it . . .

Dave: Just go.

Bruce: Dave Foley, ladies and gentlemen.

[applause]

Dave: No, just do it, Bruce. You're wasting a lot of time. Bruce McCulloch would like to say something.

Bruce: I'm sorry I caused all that cancer. [laughter] I didn't realize it was such a hideous disease.

[more laughter. Dave looks bewildered]

Dave: [angry] I suppose you think that makes it, OK? 'I'm sorry I caused all that cancer. . .' you don't even sound like you mean it, Bruce.

Bruce: Dave, you asked me to apologize and that's just what I did.

Dave: I'm sorry. Well, in rehearsal you sounded like you meant it, it sounded like you were actually remorseful about what you had done, but this was pretty, pretty lame, Bruce. I think you should apologize like you really mean it.

Bruce: [hurt] Fine, David. I'm sorry I caused all that throat cancer and all that bowel cancer. I was just on a roll . . .

Dave: . . . and?

Bruce: and I won't do it again.

Dave: Thank you, Bruce.

[applause]

Is it the same character when he gets to work, picks up a paper and reads that he's been kidnapped?

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:33 (twenty years ago) link

This reminds me that a friend and I went as Jerry Sizzler and her sister Jerry Sizzler, not two clearly insane people, for Halloween a few years back.

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:34 (twenty years ago) link

yes, Jordan! he's also the character that gets sent to a weekend retreat where repressed businessmen get to act out their animal spirits. "papa papa papa, dada dada dada, I AM ANIMAL!"

Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:38 (twenty years ago) link

anyone remember the one (not sure which two are in it, maybe kevin and bruce) where two guys are living in this pigsty of an apartment and they're "playing this game" of throwing empty beer bottles and smashing them all over the place? the neighbors are screaming at them and stuff. i seem to remember laughing a lot at this sketch but only seeing it once and i can't really remember it.

i also really like the sketch where kevin is a high-school boy about to get lucky with mike as a young lass with a mouth-full of braces - only kevin gets freaked out by all the imagery in the bedroom - the picture of dad with a shotgun, jesus on the wall, a menacing dog in the corner of the room, etc, not to mention a terrible storm outside. it's all enough to make an anxious kevin pass out and then he wakes to mike screaming and the dog humping him. good family fun that one.

that makes me think of the old yeller skit, which recurs throughout one of the episodes: "what's wrong?" "it's old yeller; he's rabid."
