The Kids in the Hall

[Dobbie]

Surely every Canadian knows about this show? Love it or hate it it is one of the most iconic Canadian shows from the last few decades.

I remember when I got up to watch a repeat of this show as a kid. I'd take out my maple syrup and Canadian bacon and sit on the cold, solid ice to watch it from my ice-made television screen. My grizzly bear would occassionally annoy me during this show, so I had to use my shovel, get out of my igloo and hit him right on the head.

Erm...back to the show now! It stars Dave Foley (possibly known by a few people due to his role in NewsRadio alongside the late Phil Hartman), Scott Thompson (voice acted in the episode 'Three Gays and a Condo'), Kevin McDonald (appeared on Seinfeld), Mark McKinney (was on Saturday Night Live) and Bruce McCulloch.

A few of my favourite sketches:

Never seen this show before, but those clips were pretty good.

[The Thompsons]

Man do I feel old. I watched this regularly when I was a kid.

I am crushing your head!



Even more appropriate considering the Simpsons parodied this movie countless times:




Oh the things you could get away with on TV back in the day

Obviously we can't forget the Chicken Lady/Bearded Lady, Bobby or Cabbage Head!



Or the Flying Pig...
