Kids in the Hall were and are a Canadian sketch comedy troupe. This isn't precisely representative, but it's one my favorite sketches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdLDC2VhMNo Someone should maybe link one that's not so profoundly stupid. I've seen two recent threads recently where someone almost correctly claimed that all sketch shows are mostly filler and someone else has correctly chimed in that this is definitely not true of KitH. Their stuff has held up better than Python because it was more firmly in touch with the culture of the time, better than Mr. Show only because none of its cast members invaded the US Capitol building on 6 Jan, and better than SNL because it's not mostly filler. For reasons I support but do not understand, KitH has got a new season coming up a month from today on that bookstore website: https://twitter.com/ScottThompson_/status/1514366650497351681  I saw them on tour about 7 years ago and they were as funny as ever. If you're too young or non-North American to have seen them before and you like sketch comedy, they're well worth checking out.

Awesome; I've seen two of them live but never the full group. Watching Brain Candy in theatre was second only to my SA registration for "definitely too young to be here".

Awesome. I can't wait to see more of Dave Foley in action. That guy has polished his comedy to perfection.

I remember coming home from school on half days in the mid 90s and Comedy Central would be showing Kids in the Hall. I'm so glad it held up better than most things I loved at that age

Some of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ1pO-tZbYA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rryQfAnQs3M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7kWPOa4Gy0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbvbF0L9tJg The thing about Kids in the Hall is that there weren't always punchlines. Also, there are definitely 'entry-level' sketches (My Pen, anything with Gavin, Daves I Know) and then the deeper cuts that only those who are already fans might appreciate more (Sausages, that gravel digging one posted earlier, Surviving a Bear Attack). My all-time favourite one might by Cyril St John. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h-44m96o20

Girl Drink Drunk was the funniest thing I had ever seen as a teenager. I saw it again a few months ago and it's still incredibly funny. Hoping this new season holds up.

I did one Dave Foley's monologues in speech classes in high school and I loving slayed it. Had the teacher lolling. I think it was the "An Open Letter to the Guy on a bike I clotheslined" or something.

I may have been a part of a girl drink drunk party at some point. We made chocolate choo-choos of course.

I saw this first and was wondering where the gently caress Dave Foley was and if he had quietly died and I'm glad that that's not the case

Hoping this new season holds up. from here: https://www.avclub.com/kids-in-the-hall-s-kevin-mcdonald-on-the-dark-origin-of-1798251779 Kevin McDonald posted:Every phase that I’ve been in my life, I’ve done it slowly and painfully. I didn’t have my first drink until I was 27. It became a Kids In The Hall sketch. Those of you Kids In The Hall nerds who are reading this one will know it. Before we had a TV show, we did a few dates in Alberta where Mark [McKinney] and Bruce [McCulloch] were from, and we played Calgary where Bruce grew up, and all his family came. And I remember thinking that it was a bad show. All the other shows we did were great in that particular little mini-tour, and that show was awful. And I remember thinking Bruce was affected by his family, because I had never seen a guy—especially someone as good as Bruce—be more off. He was just off. He couldn’t get a laugh. He couldn’t buy a laugh. He couldn’t set anyone up for a laugh. He was just awful. Stryder posted:He's got bigger problems... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GW22sAElpE

Kids in the hall was great along with Death Comes to Town, but season 1 was chock full of terrible moments, like Buddy's early monologues and Kathie and the Blues Guy.

The word does not exist, and yet we all know what it means. It's like embiggen or cromulent. Edit: so glad to see Danny Husk back in the red band trailer
