Interview: Scott Thompson and Kevin McDonald

Not sure if you saw this from a few days ago. There may be some more that have come in over the weekend.
Kevin McDonald, Scott Thompson & Dave Foley in Chicago

Wish I could have been there!

And an audio interview for the Sunday Interview piece.

In Search Of Pot

Pretty sure Mark had a hand in this one. Not one of my favorites.  But it introduces Jocelyn... so there's something.

Interview: Lemon

Not exactly an interview... more of a blog. But it involves Scott Thompson. Maybe an interview about Lemons? I dunno... here it is.

No Chocolate Diet

It's interesting to me how someone I find so attractive can make himself look so unattractive. Well done Dave. :)

Bank People

There are some work days that drag by. It seems nothing gets done, because there is nothing to do.

This is not one of those days. It's been non-stop all day. But on my 'smoke break' let me throw another odd Bruce moment out there.

Gorilla

I had looked to post this sketch a few weeks back but it wasn't online. Really enjoy this one.

Einstein

Everyone's been posting that 'think differently' ad after Steve Jobs died, which makes me think of this.

These Are The Daves I Know

Wrapping up the 10. A musical number. Because they weren't frequent, but they are a different dynamic to the group.

It's a Fact: Queen Doesn't Know Her ABCs

Because of the nature of sketch comedy it helps to have smaller sketches that tie the episode together. The Kids had a few of these shorter pieces like 30 Helens Agree, the cops, the hookers, 30 Second Stories and the It's A Fact Girl.

This is the Fact Girl at her best, with the added benefit of Scott Thompson's queen of England. Fantastic. Another for the intro 10.

Cyril St. John

In the 10. A good example of an extended, filmed sketch. Much less surreal than Sausages, and one of my favorites.

Sausages

Another in the top 10. A LONG, stylized, film. Dave particularly hated this one. But it's a standard and one of those, 'once seen it can never been unseen' sketches.

Chicken Lady Visits Her Old House

So in the last blog I said there were others that should be posted in the intro to KITH, but those were the top five. So if there were a top ten... this would be included.

Daddy Drank

So skipping the Sunday Interview to finish the intro 5.

There should be a Head Crusher sketch. There should be a Chicken Lady sketch. There should be something completely silly, like the Nutty Bunnies. A surreal piece like Sausages. A musical number. 30 Helens. Or an extended filmed sequence. But to wrap up MY 5 sketches that explain the Kids in the Hall, I'm posting Daddy Drank.
The Kids were many things, but one unifying factor: their dads. From what they've said, to different degrees they've each had issues with their fathers.

In this sketch, Kevin wrote things his dad would actually say to him, and Dave performed them as HIS dad. So showing two of the paternal personalities that made these magnificent comedians who they are, Daddy Drank.

Comfortable

Another of the Kids introduction in 5 sketches.

They did this sketch out on tour. Kevin & Scott would go on forever.
Why is it in the intro 5? It's perverse. Sexual. Has a homoerotic/gay theme, which so many pieces did. And it goes unexpected places. Sounds like a KITH sketch to me.
