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.

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.

Interview: (Only not.) Dave Foley
Not an actual interview, but... yeah it's close enough, and really amusing.

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