The Kids in the Hall: Difference between revisions

{{tropework}}

The five -man roster consists of Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson. Sketches revolved around a number of disparate topics but were just as likely to focus on the cast portraying themselves, albeit in odd situations. Monologues were given frequently. Guest stars were uncommon on the show and celebrities rarer still. The consistency of the sketches were quite variable and there was often a feel of being "in" on a jam session of talented comics in the process of finding out what worked and what didn't. For some, this enhanced the appeal of the show.

The KITH band ended their show in 1995, and afterwards produced a feature film, ''Brain Candy'', in 1996 to mixed reviews. The gang of five disbanded soon after, but recentlylater regrouped to do several tours and, mostin recently2010, a miniseries ("[[Death Comes to Town]]"). The series remains a popular and memorable viewing experience in reruns.

* [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign]] - Feelyat!

* [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode]]: "Chalet 2000", which was one long Buddy Cole sketch (with it's own credit sequence), and to top it off, Queen Elizabeth appears ends up sleeping with a talking beaver.

* [[Contract Onon the Hitman]] - Parodied in a sketch, where a hitman is contracted to take himself out.

* [[Egocentric Team Naming]]: in a sketch about the three-man garage band "Rod Torkelson's Armada Featuring Herman Menderchuk."

* [[Everything's Better Withwith Cows]] - It was the night...[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyOKubW6JZU The Night of the Cow!]

* [[Evil Phone]]: Spoofed in one sketch. A guy refuses to answer the phone, reasoning it must be a wrong number. But as the phone keeps on ringing, it causes increasing hysteria in his friends. They convince themselves that something sinister about the call.

{{quote| "Or it's a very wrong number. 42 rings? What kind of FREAK is sitting there by that phone?" }}

* [[Fashion Hurts]] - A fashion designer from the first season revels in this trope.

* [[Freudian Slippery Slope]] - One [https://web.archive.org/web/20120102100539/http://fliiby.com/file/734912/lus0tnz33z.html skit] has a businessman asking his secretary to write a letter for him. He is unable to speak five words without mentioning breasts in some way, and eventually forms a sentence almost entirely out of words for breasts.

** {{spoiler|Which led to Kevin being stalked for a while. See below for the link with [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]].}}

* [[Hunter -Trapper]] - parodied, on dry land with businessmen's expensive suits as the goal rather than animal skins.

* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: The heart of a few skits, like one where an employee at a meeting won't stop giggling while going over his report, leading to the revelation that he wrote the whole thing while naked, much to the disgust of everyone else there.

** Not really, since they're heavily implied to be French-Canadian voyageurs, and mention that they "must take care not to deplete the stock".

* [[Right Onon Queue]] - Flying Pig

* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]] - Kevin had his own--andown—and she went so far as to send him a cassette full of stalker songs, most notably ''[[Obsession Song|Every Breath You Take]]''. [http://www.avclub.com/austin/articles/kevin-mcdonald-on-coping-with-hammy-making-the-oth,44483/\]

* [[Suicide Asas Comedy]] - A sketch had a hit man [[Contract Onon the Hitman|hired to kill himself]].

* [[That's All, Folks!]] Final episode 'Thank God, that's finally over!'

* [[Video Inside, Film Outside]]

* [[Who's Onon First?]]
