I miss the Kids in the Hall...

[redqueen]

How come there aren't any really good sketch comedy shows right now? I wish Biffovision had got on the air.

I was looking for the sketch about the guy who overuses new words, but I couldn't find it. Anyone remember that one? I loved the way he said the new one at the end... delineate. :D

I found this one, though. Another of my favorites. http://youtube.com/watch?v=khUzbTHYwTk

1. Have you seen the Brit sketch comedy "Brilliant?"

It's excellent. It was on BBC America. When it was broadcast in the UK it was called "The Fast Show."

Also, there's another good Brit one called "Little Britain." Very good as well.

[redqueen]

2. Haven't seen "Brilliant?"

But what I've seen of Little Britain I didn't care for. :(

[Lex]

5. You might give "Brilliant" a try.

There's some stuff in "Little Britain" that I didn't find funny either.

"Brilliant" is much better, imho.

7. Oops!

I thought the ? was in the title. :blush:

I'll watch for it... thanks! :)

11. You have to see Little Britain a few times over...

It's that kind of show. Lots of running gags.

[redqueen]

12. It's that whole perspective thing...

or potayto potahto, maybe.

One man's running gag is another man's repetitive shite. :P

3. MC Simon Milligan, master of funk...and evil! and manservant Hecubus

I loved the Pit of Ultimate Darkeness

[redqueen]

4. Oh yes!

I loved manservant Hecubus. :D

And "EEEEEEVIL!"

15. couldn't find the clip..

but I did find the script!

Dave: Come in.

Bruce: I came as soon as I ascertained you needed to see me, sir.

Dave: Sit down, Williams.

Bruce: What is it, sir?

Dave: There have been some complaints about your use of language on the docks.

Bruce: If this is about yesterday, sir, yes I did use a few blue words, a few cuss words, but as soon as I ascertained that the mix up had been corrected --

Dave: Noo, Williams, it's not your swearing that I'm getting complaints about; it's the fact that use the word "ascertain" too much.

Bruce: Really?

Dave: Yes, apparently you use it an average of two to three- hundred times, daily.

Bruce: Well, I do, but so...other...few words...fit.

Dave: Well, it's driving the men crazy.

Bruce: Who's complaining, sir? Is it Sanchez?

Dave: Noo, it's not Sanchez. It's--it's the older men, the ones nearing retirement.

Bruce: Sir, I ascertain that these men are just jealous of my command of the...English...uh language.

Dave: Well, perhaps. But, I suggest just to keep things running smoothly down at the docks that you humor me by limiting yourself to these four work-related phrases: Good morning fellas; Hand me that thing; Boy, this work's hard; Guys, break's over.

Bruce: Sir, I ascertain--

Dave: Ah.

Bruce: -- that it's their problem. They're just jealous of me. It's my right to ascertain things. You should talk to them about their being upset about my...ascertaination.

Dave: Look, I was young once; and, whatever you do in the privacy of your home, with your good lady wife, well that's your business. But, when it starts to slow work down on the docks, then it becomes my business.

Bruce: I ascertain--

Dave: If you don't back off that word, you'll be looking for a new job -- comprendez-vous?

Bruce: I...asc--

Dave: Unh-uh.

Bruce: ah--

Dave: Mmm-mm.

Bruce: ah--

Dave: Nn-nn.

Bruce: Asc--

Dave: N-nuh-no.

Bruce: Asc -- asc--

Dave: Nooo-no-no-no.

Bruce: I asc--

Dave: Mm-mm-mm-mm.

Bruce: Cer--

Dave: No.

Bruce: tuh--

Dave: Uh-uh. Good morning fellas; hand me that thing; boy, this work's hard; guys, break's over.

Bruce: I asc--



Bruce: Boy, this work's hard.

Dave: There ya go! Good boy! Now, get the hell out of my office.



Dave: Glad we had the chance to delineate our little problem.



Bruce: Duh-lynn-e-ate. Duh-lynn-e-ate. Sir, I promise I'll never use that...other word ever again. Duh-lynn-e-ate.

20. Let the monkey fly the plane!

Anyone remember the episode with the sketches about the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly and Richie Valens about to get on the plane, and Buddy Holly (IIRC, played by Mark McKinney) was drunk as hell and screaming "Let the monkey fly the plane!"

[applegrove]

21. I used to love Kids In The Hall. Haven't thought of them in a long time.
