I have always been a fan of the Kids in the Hall and I was extremely happy when they got back together a couple of years ago... there is now a new Kids in the Hall live show on PPV.

They are STILL in top form! These guys are one of the greatest comedy troops ever!!!

Who else loves the Kids in the Hall?

"In the blackness. In the darkness. In the silence."

And chicken lady of course!

KINH are great...I think my favs are Buddy Cole, Tammi, the female office workers (Dave, Scott and Bruce) and the prostitutes (Dave and Scott)
Just yesterday a friend of mine told me he bought a case of Mac & Cheese and it reminded me of the episode when Bruce and Mark play the two characters that win a contest that gives them a lifetime supply of , ketchup and tape worm food. YUCK!

That was a great show. Some of their stuff was kinda corny, but overall they were mad funny.

oh, and the lesbian softball team, and women who work in the office cubicles, and best of all:

"I'm crushing your head! 99.999% of people deserve to be flatheads!"

What were the names of the white trash couple?

You guys HAVE to see the new Pay-Per-View special... it is fucking great.

In the U.S. though, right?

Yes... it is on DirecTV right now. I don't know if it is being shown anywhere else.

Hopefully it is being shown everywhere.

I forgot about the lesbian softball team!

Who can forget Fran & her salty ham.

I loved Cabbage Head, 'I'm crushing your head', Scott Thompson's 'Buddy', the two demonic dudes(can't remember their names right now), and just about anything Bruce McCulloch did. He was by far my fave KINH.

my favorite sketch was Bruce's "Gavin" -- i think that was his name -- the little boy factoid who rambled and rambled:

"These guys, they smoke. They're REALLY bad. They taught a dog to smoke... They sure did smoke..."

And after about five minutes he says, "I gotta go, I'm in the middle of a big bike race!"

Another fav: Dave Foley picks up a hooker -- I think it was Kevin -- for a date. He really just wants to date. Her response to everything he asks is, "Whatever. It's your money, freak." The skit continues in 3 parts throughout the show, with the last sketch the 2 of them married, 40 years later, and her only line is "Whatever, it's your money, freak!"

Crushing your head is classic, the chicken lady always freaked me out. Did anyone see "Strangers with Candy?" I never did. I did see Scott Thompson walking across Sunset Blvd in the middle of traffic once.

Well, I gotta go -- I'm in the middle of a big loan closing!

CLASSIC CANADIAN HUMOUR!!

However, NO ONE CAN TOP SCTV

I'm so proud I'm misty eyed

ME ME ME!

I saw them on their tour last year, too.

If you can ever see them live DO IT! Great fun.

They're very nice guys, as well. After the show they'll stand around for a long time and talk to fans, sign autographs and take pictures with people.

I *love* the chicken lady!!!

These guys are right up there with Monty Python for me.

I never saw that Dave Foley skit but i can picture it perfectly.
BTW, i loved Strangers with Candy. If you haven't seen the episode with Wynonna Ryder, she plays a tough chick in school, funniest episode I've ever seen.

Jerri Blank: "I cried when I had no shoes. Then I saw a man who had no feet. And then I laughed REALLY hard."

I'm crushing your head Oh good times!

One of my favourite sketches was the one where they killed the Pizza delivery boy because he fucked the pizza up or something! Shit, I can't remember why they killed him but it was funny!

love these guys! their movie 'brain candy' roX!!!

madartista said:

I LOVED those sketches!!
I was also a big fan of the chicken lady. Not sure why.

Wow. This brings me back. I used to fall asleep watching Kid in the Hall at my boyfriend's house in High School as it was on at, like, 1am and I'd always get home too late.

thank god Canada exported SOMETHING great...long live Kids in the Hall...after Celine, Avril, Barenaked Ladies and SCTV, i thought i'd have to start saying i was American...well maybe i wouldn't go that far...just jokin' i love the U.S!!!

Dave Foley rocks!!!

We used to get that show, here, a long time ago. My wife actually loves this show and has them on tape. I guess there's no hope for me now if there is a new series.

Buddy Cole: On Outing

Scott: Bon soir. Notice anything different? Hmm? I'm not smoking. And it's great. I saved so much money that I bought myself my own bar. It's called Buddy's--you're sitting in it. Now that I own a gay bar I can't stay in the closet anymore. I'm as high profile as a city counselor. Of course it's becoming next to impossible for anyone to stay in the closet anymore. What with all those hapless celebrities being dragged out by the press. [Holds up a copy of the National Enquirer.] That must be terrible. Millions of people going ewww. I'll bet Richard Chamberlain had a couple of sleepless nights. Oh I'm not saying he's gay, I'm just saying I hope he has a good lover 'cause he's gonna need a lot of sex with a man to help him through this crisis. Good luck Dick!

Why is being outed considered such a bad thing? When I find out someone is gay my admiration for them increases ten fold. Well not everyone. I still refuse to believe Liberace was gay. I just don't want him to be. Him and Roy Cohn! It's like being told Satan's a fag. Maybe that's why God's such a homophobe. And Satan's so sexy. Maybe if more people came out there wouldn't be so many fag bashing comics around. I mean really what's the problem boys? Let me just say *one thing*: [trumpet sound] CHARGE!

Sam Kinnison must be harboring some mighty memories to be so terrified of fags. I mean why is it always the big smelly guys that think all fags want them? Oh I'm not saying his gay, I'm just saying he used to be a preacher! [Makes sign of cross with his hand]

Andrew Dice Clay is phonier that Milli Vanilli. He's wearing the Emperor's New clothes. It's as if someone took your grandmother- the one who can't speak English, taught her to swear phonetically, gave her a special on HBO and made her a star. It's not the dirty words, I have enormous respect for filth. It's the HATE. Andrew Dice Clay is NOT the new Lenny Bruce. I am! He and Eddie Murphy are just pissed off because they give off such a faggy vibe. I'm not saying they're gay. I'm just saying they sure smell like rough trade to me. And the saddest thing of all is, I'd still like to have sex with both of them. Oh sure I'd feel guilty but you know what? All I think it would take is about 20 bucks.

This is great! I feel like Farrah Faucett in Extremities. Anyways, there'll be none of that hatred here at Buddy's. Just family entertainment for the queer nation. No stand up comedy allowed. A place where the brothers can be sisters, the sisters can be parents and I can be *simply*... mmm... I'm not saying I'm gay, I'm just saying, boys, you don't wanna run into me in a dark alley.

i love, have always, and will remain a fan of those rabbits



a?


come again..?

I bumped into Scott Thomson a couple of times and have some wonderful memories of watching the original episodes of the TV series with my longtime companion.
