''[[The Whitest Kids U' Know]]'' is an uncensored sketch comedy show on IFC. The cast members are Trevor Moore, Sam Brown, Zach Cregger, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter. They're currently most famous for the "Slow Jerk" sketch, the "Abe Lincoln" sketch (in which Abe Lincoln is a loutish boor who annoys John Wilkes Booth to the point of assassinating him), and the "New Thing" sketch, which was (without the WKUK's permission) ripped off shamelessly by Budweiser. Most of their sketches fall under the following categories: Presidential Assassinations (with Zach as Abe Lincoln/Ronald Reagan/JFK, Trevor as John Wilkes Booth/John Hinckley/Lee Harvey Oswald, Sam as George H.W. Bush/Lyndon B. Johnson, and Darren as a Secret Service officer), [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Drag sketches]] (most often with Darren or Timmy as the girl), or just plain weird ones (Saturday, Opus, etc).
They've occasionally [[Executive Meddling|come into conflict]] with the higher-ups of the Fuse Network (the censoring of swearing and sexual content led them to move the show to IFC) and even IFC (making them do 15 minute long shows rather than half hour long). But for the most part, they have full creative control of their sketches.

* [[Black Comedy]]: Some of their sketches are extremely dark. One quote: "Children, I have some terrible news. One of your mothers was just killed in a car accident. Who wants to guess whose mother it was for a sucker? Huh?"
** "We have to go save 9/11!"
Line 51:
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj2LTD528VY We gon' make love until you wake up...]"
** Gandalf sketch
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Uf9rsBbhc Abraham Lincoln]'''
** "Halloweiner"
* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBNzYpCBnfg This Sketch] mixed with [[Too Dumb to Live]] and [[Artistic License: Biology]].
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: "Abraham Lincoln was actually hammered in the ass so much... that he died from being hammered in the ass."
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: The tattoo parlor sketch where a man charges into the parlor drunk and demands a tattoo or "Bowser from [[Super Mario Bros.]] TWO!!!" 2 is one of the few games in the series that doesn't even feature Bowser. (and it's safe to assume he's not referring to The Lost Levels).
** I assumed that was a case of [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste]], since he's drunk, after all. The joke worked on me at least.
** A lot of 18th century sketches humorously take place in 1776, even in sketches where this wouldn't make sense (such as the one with Francis Scott Key, who wasn't even born until 3 years ''after'' 1776).
** Ironically, the one sketch that actually should take place in 1776 ("The Declaration of Independence", natch), instead takes place in the 17th century.
* [[Drop the Cow]]: A sketch where the boys continue to list off strip-clubs (with [[Hurricane of Puns|increasingly disturbing names]]) is interrupted by the producer, who says that the sketch has no point. [[Subverted Trope|And then he starts listing more puns.]]
