The Kids In The Hall

[Ed Wood Caulfield]

Is anybody here a fan of the t.v. show Kids In The Hall? I've been a fan since 1999, and I think it is one of the funniest shows ever made. Defintley in my Top 5 list. I first saw the show in 1994, the final episode actually, and have been recording the episodes every weekday on Comedy Central at 2 and 2:30 p.m. I also remember the show being on 11:30 p.m. every night on Comedy Central followed by MST3K at midnight. My favorite performers were Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, and Scott Thompson. I enjoyed the Pig Boy sketch, the Son of Pig Boy, that Dark side show with Kevin and Dave as Heccubus. I also love the one where they're playing poker and are talking about women. And the one where Bruce Mccollough plays that teenager who girlfriend dumps him and he runs away while performing a song. I still have that song stuck in my head. And who can forget "The Beard" and "The Life of Cyril St. John". And the classic "Cincatti Kid vs. Toronto Kid"?

 

So, who else here was a fan of Kids In The Hall? Post your favorite sketches and characters and discuss how great Kids In The Hall was.

I used to be, but I got tired of it after I saw all the episodes on Comedy Central 3 or 4 times. I still like it, but I can't bring myself to watch it.

Is it me or are some of the best skits never shown on Comedy Central? Where is the Chicken Lady, Cabbage Head, I Crush Your Head skits?

They are shown, just very rarely.

 

And yes, I am a huge KITH fan.

 

MAN SERVANT HECUBUS! EVIL!

[MrRant]

The show sucked in my opinion.

 

Some moments of funny but very little.

[razazteca]

Bruce carries the show all by himself. The Police, the Wedding, and the dating skits are his best skits.

[Downhome]

I like the entire series, but the skit that comes to mind really quick is the one where that stuff is coming out of that guys nose.

[Boner Kawanger]

I've been watching it since I was in the first grade.

 

Its so great now that I finally get everything.

Aside from Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Dukes of Hazard, and Iron Chef, this might be my favorite show in the history of television. The oral sex fairy, the skits with that Gavin kid asking all the fucked up questions, and the pit of eternal darkness with Sir Simon Milligan and Manservant Heccubus are great.

[Edwin MacPhisto]

Chicken lady was on just last week. Classic. I really want the DVD set, but it's awfully pricey for something that's so readily available for free.

[Youth N Asia]

The show killed SNL for its time, I loved it.

 

But they way overdid the gay skits. I understand that Scott's gay and they have to play to that, but it was a little much and I didn't find a lot of them too funny.

And who can forget "The Beard" and "The Life of Cyril St. John".

 

one time my boss asked me when i was going to shave my beard, so i turned quickley, wide-eyed and said "NO, the beard stays...YOU go." she never asked me to shave again. true story.

 

one of my all time favorite shows (behind MST3K), great every time i see it. i was thrilled when they begin re-running them again...alot better then yet ANOTHER SNL ep.

i was a huge fan back in the day, but looking back on it, the show was very hit-or-miss. some of their stuff was hysterical, but they relied way too much on recurring characters (often long after the joke stopped being funny), & i'll sometimes watch entire episodes now without laughing once. 'the state' and 'upright citizens brigade' smoke this show.
