Kids in the Hall

[inuvik]

"Thirty Helens Agree" we should start a KITH thread.

(Oh, OK, two board members agree, Shmeep and I).

This reminds me of a really disturbing Kids in the Hall character played by Mark McKinney years ago called Chicken Lady.



It was half chicken, half lady, and there were various skits about her social life that I'd really rather not think about too much.

Great art! And you too, Lindy. Wonderful self portrait. These are fun.

I never knew that "Kids in the Hall" made it south o' the border. I loved that show. But Chicken Lady sure was annoying. I wanted to "crush her head".

I was always a HUGE Kids in the Hall fan--and I don't even have a cabbage for a head! Karma for the reference! That show was what SNL wished it could be. I still love each and every one of those "kids" and am always giddy when I see them on other shows.

Other great memories of the show:

The Dave song. "These are the Dave's I know I know, these are the Dave's I know."

That song is so funny, and so apt for me! I know a million Dave's.

I also loved a skit for the Soaker Olympics, where they lay in a bathtub with a snorkel. Now that's one event I could compete in.

Cabbage Head Man that Shmeep mentioned was very funny. That literally was his head, a cabbage. Sometimes characters would rip off leaves and eat them.

Crushing your head was a recurring joke in skits. You focus on someone's head at a distance between your thumb and finger. Then you crush their head! A great way to work out your frustrations.

So, who else remembers this show?

Yes, I remember the show. Not only did it show 'south of the border', but it also made it's way across the pond.

My memories aren't as clear as yours seem to be but, now that you've reminded me, I certainly remember the Chicken Lady and the head squeezing thing... which also turned up about the same time in an episode of Due South. Is that a common Canadian joke?

Wow. It really got around!

It was definitely a well known reference at the time. I'm not sure how many people would know it now. Ahh, the passing of time.

I loved Kids in the Hall because it was so stupid but yet so lovable at the same time. They took insane and ridiculous concepts and made them fun to watch.

I don't know why I loved the Crushing Your Head guy, but I did!





And I loved that song about guys named Dave! That was one of my favorites.

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

David Hoffman
He works in my dad's store
He's worked here for 12 years
He'll probably work here for more

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Dave Gort
I've known since I was six
In grade eight he broke his leg
So we got drunk and sick

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Some of them are Davids
[Dave Gort: But most of us are Daves]
They all have their own hands
But they come from different moms

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Dave Jadiski
Man, this cat can swing
He weighs almost 50 pounds
And he delivers my paper on time

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Dave Capisano
I hardly know him
...
[Bruce stands around, looking vaguely uncomfortable for the rest of the measure]

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

[Next two measures sung by the Daves Bruce knows: ] We are the Daves he knows, he knows
We are the Daves he knows
We are the Daves he knows, he knows
We are the Daves he knows

Some of us them are Davids
But most of us are Daves
We all have our own hands
But we come from different moms

These are the Daves I know, I know
[Daves: We are the Daves he knows, he knows]
[All: These are the Daves]

And remember the song about terriers? That's another good one. And Running Faggot? For some reason that one cracked me up far too much because Mark and Bruce looked so silly standing there in front of a stained glass window singing about a gay guy who ran around in a coon skin cap helping people. Again, stupid, but hilarious.
