Brian's Bombshell

This is one of my favorites. Another of the 5 that truly show the Kids.
It's nearly a monologue. And in truth, no one does a monologue better than Mr. Scott Thompson. Not to say I don't love the other guys, but Scott has a special sparkle on his own. He knows he has the undivided attention of the audience and he uses it.

I know this was recently posted, but I can't leave it out. It's from the pilot, like Reg and it's a piece they did on stage frequently. Another thing Brian's Bombshell and Reg have in common, they both fell flat in bigger venues they performed at. Brian's Bombshell was performed in NYC at the height of the AIDS epidemic, and the boys had included a character called, The AIDS fairy, played by Kevin. It didn't go well.

Reg

When I got to thinking about the 5 clips to show The Kids In The Hall to someone this came up as well. The Kids themselves say this is one that represents them well, and I have to agree.

It starts off in one direction and does a swift change, which goes in a much darker, and beautifully morbid direction. It's easy to lose the shock of the piece now because every show does this. We're now waiting for the 'catch' in a sketch, and yes, many groups did it before The Kids, but I don't think there's a group out there who took it to such dark extremes like the Kids did. And that's why I love them.
To Reg!

If I had just 5 sketches to bring across who the Kids in the Hall were, this would be one of them.

Rollerblading

Head Crusher Rival

Really a copy and paste of a sketch they did in the pilot.

Interview: (Only not.) Dave Foley

Not an actual interview, but... yeah it's close enough, and really amusing.

Cat's Away

Ah the first wife...

Crazy Love

Money Momentum

Poreef

Gotta love the face Bruce makes when he holds up the tiny cow.

Jazz Hater

I use to like jazz. When I was in high school I really enjoyed improve jazz, for hours. Now, it's strictly big band, and Kind of Blue. Apart from that, I'm done. Wonder where that love went. Maybe the way of Bruce.

Nobody Home

According to @ScottThompson_, Scott & Kevin were booed off stage? And had a shoe thrown at them... having seen the show I can't really figure out what they could have done.

And now for something completely different.

Can't get this one to embed, so click the link to see the Head Crusher & his girlfriend.
Clip of the day.

Interview: Scott Thompson and Kevin McDonald

Painting With The Inner Child

And the last "Art" sketch stars, Darryl.

On The Subject Of Me

There's someone making 'art' in this sketch... close enough for jazz.

Borrowed Art

Another one with the odd Bruce character from yesterday's sketch.

Art Collector

Art theme continues.

Manny Coon

Today one of my best friends, Joe left for UCLA. When I first had Joe watch KITH, this was the first, and possibly only sketch he really enjoyed. Seems about right.

All's Fair in Love

A good one to go to when you're trying to show people just how attractive Dave Foley can be as a woman. This or any one where he's a blonde.

Interview: Kevin McDonald & Scott Thompson

Another, older interview with Kevin & Scott.


The Kids in the Hall Talk About Death Comes to... by 5minArts

Bruce To The Bike Tire Thief Spectators

And now, the thrilling conclusion:

Bruce To The Bike Tire Thief

Cup of Salsa

 Fran is adorable.

The Real Buddy Holly

If I'd known today was Buddy Holly's 75th birthday I would have saved that clip for today. I'm a HUGE Buddy Holly fan, but know more about the music than the man.

But I'm going to post it again. Why not. And we'll throw in some extra stuff. :)

Businessmen Networking

Back from the holiday! And back to work.

Interview: Scott Thompson & Kevin McDonald

New interview with Kevin & Scott about their tour. It's short, but adorable.

Big Gut Guys

Aaaaand I hate this sketch. But it shows the set. Well, I don't hate it, but it really grosses me out.

Fight Picker

I love how you can see what new sets the guys got each season by what the use. Like the court room, or this bar.

Can't Play The Piano
