Gorilla

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

Interview: Mark McKinney

A set visit/interview with Mark for this Sunday.

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.
