I recently discovered this bizarre Canadian sketch comedy show from the '80's called Kids in the Hall, and my brother and I are obsessed. But we haven't found anyone else in real life who's familiar with them, which is strange, since they seem pretty popular online. So, is anyone else on BWW a fan?
I personally like the skits with the "Sizzler sisters" best.

I love Kids In The Hall! We are slowly collecting the box sets, but I still wish they were on Comedy Central.
love the Cathy temps!

Posted: 8/18/09 at 4:24pmNo, I'm a Canadian. It's like an American, but without the gun.

Posted: 8/18/09 at 4:47pmPhyllis, you know I was being sarcastic when I asked if I was the only one. I was just surprised that nobody I know has heard of it, since I know it's pretty popular on youtube.

Cathy with a C and Kathy with a K are my favorite part of Kids in the Hall.

Posted: 8/18/09 at 7:49pmYes they are true originals and they were a sensation when they were on HBO. I've seen them live several times. They are inspired. I personally love Chicken Lady and the girl with braces and the lip gloss in the school uniform that Mark Kinney played.

For some reason, though, all of the characters Bruce plays make me feel irrationally uncomfortable. Something about the way his mouth moves...
Dave's my favorite. He can say the most horrible things while being completely adorable in the process. Especially as an axe murderer.

Posted: 8/18/09 at 9:30pmI've seen them live four times, twice within the past three years. Sold out houses all four times. I guess somebody must've heard of them.

Posted: 8/19/09 at 3:30pmHave you noticed that when Dave Foley does drag, he has an uncanny resemblance to Isabella Rosselini?

YEESSSS He really does make a surprisingly convincing woman. Actually, they even look alike when he's not in drag.

They were both on Conan and he put on a wig like hers and they were cheek to cheek. It was uncanny.
