I enjoy them both, but I feel Kids in the Hall gets bonus points because it's a little more timeless whereas In Living Color is purely a product of its time. Now, The Edge with Julie Brown, Jennifer Aniston and Wayne Knight? That's my poo poo.

How very racially conscious you are, OP. No doubt people see you in a new light now.

mind the walrus posted:GBS would think that "In Living Color" ended up getting cancelled despite being popular with an audience that Fox sought because the show wouldn't tamp down on humor at the expense of gay men. Some possibly gay executives at 20th Century Fox killed the show after Keenan Ivory Wayans refused to stop writing jokes that poked fun at gays. I recall reading this somewhere years ago, might've been on wiki.

I'm not shocked. Even so you've got to kind-of feel bad for the In Living Color guys. They finally get a sketch comedy show made with a majority black cast and it becomes popular... but the breakout star is still the token white guy who makes the funny face.

Also Keenen Ivory Wayans was legitimately funny one time as a writer/director/producer. This is as funny as anything in Airplane! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWNQTqMkezc

I recall reading this somewhere years ago, might've been on wiki. Sort of but not really. There was some censorship going on, but the real downfall was that the show was getting ready to be sold into syndication, and Fox started airing repeats without permission from the Wayons, which devalued it's sale price and their cut as producers and creators. They were furious and began hiding completed episodes out of spite. After a short while, they quit the show and consequently the last season was complete poo poo.

UCB was the pinnacle of sketch comedy popularity. They did the thing where at the end of the episode all of the stories came together and jerked off your funny bone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA6EXvyWlpY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mOhI3k3JPI

As I said before, hit or miss. Again, I think all of those guys are great, but that show didn't do it for me.

In Livin Color had Jim Carey before he got big ( i think), and at the time I was too young to get how much they hated white people. That's about all I remember, but I think it was good. edit: sorry, Sir James Carey.
