The Kids in the Hall – S05E21

Long live The Kids In The Hall.

This final episode was amazing and really felt like it was sending the show off in a blaze of glory… I am aware there’s still the Amazon revival season, and also Brain Candy, that I have to watch… but goddamn man… this show, much like Darcy Pennell, has made my life a lot less hell. Specifically over the past 4 years. It’s baked into my very DNA at this point. Dave’s pretty boy wittiness, Bruce’s admirable twisted humor, Kevin’s over-expressive personality, Mark’s ridiculously good talent and character variety, and Scott’s flamboyant monologues. I’m a Gen Z male of 23 years old, so clearly KITH was before my time… but still, even before I finally watched it from beginning to end, there were a good number of sketches I was aware of for as long as I can remember in my lifetime with how much both my parents always loved this series, namely Headcrusher, Dog For Whom I Feel Nothing, The Pear Dream, 30 Helens Agree, The Flying Pig, The Daves I Know, Monique The Pyromaniac, and Bobby Versus Satan. I’ve had quite the long history with this wonderfully bizarre sketch comedy series before I was able to even understand its core appeal. And wow, seeing a finale in which Hitler blanks a donkey, the A.T. And Love secretaries remove their wigs, and Bellini goddamn SPEAKS… I feel like I’ve just seen shit I’m not supposed to be seeing. This episode was a real treat, and even though it’s all over now… there will be years to come where I appreciate what these five Canadian guys have come to represent.

“The world has a brief period of mourning… and then it’s business as usual on the streets and highways that God built.” That really feels like how I’m gonna process it, mourning that I’ve got no episodes left (from KITH in their prime, at least. Again, there’s Amazon upcoming for me to see next), yet moving forward anyway and carrying my appreciation strong.

Oh yeah and here’s how I would rank every season:

1. Season 1
2. Season 3
3. Season 2
4. Season 4
5. Season 5

I MISS these characters!!! Thank you for keeping them readily available whenever I need a fix. It always makes me smile when Having An Average Weekend plays. I remember how this show changed our world. A lispy gay monologue, men in dresses, (but that wasn't the joke) and their desire to play ALL kinds of women, helped to open our eyes to see how similar the sexes truly are. Yet each actor could also play the best/worst kinds of men. The comedy is no question, the social change it brought with it needs to be remembered. Along with satanic dinner theater. Continued love to you – Mark, Scott, Bruce, Kevin and Dave! And all who were a part of this, thank you!

I couldn't wait to watch this on comedy central after school at 3 everyday.

Yeah he passed 1 year before this was made in 95

bummer it ended.

I was 14 when I first started watching KITH. I was heartbroken when I watched this final episode. KITH was my Monty Python.

That second skit really hit me in the feels.

One of the greatest shows ever. Thank you SM for these uploads. Takes me back to my childhood…

I really adore the kids in the hall this show was so fun to watch and I will never forget everyday at 2-3 pm me and grandma watching and laughing together miss you grandma.

Am I getting emotional 27 years later? …yes I am . Aguanten los chicos en el hall!!!

That there’s Hitler! Lmao 🤣

not gonna lie, i get teary-eyed watching the beginning with Bellini. one of the best shows ever made imo.

Bruce explained that the Armada sketches are based on the KITH themselves. Kevin would always say, “come to rehearsal having eaten” already so they wouldn’t waste any time.
So “come having taken our medicine” was them trolling Kevin.

Thanks kids for coming back. We live in the worst of times and its hard to do comedy right now. Love the new episodes.

The "Armada" is still afloat eh? Gives me the guts to buy a crappy 🚢⛵ n' sail into the horizon again? But I'd have to return for medication refills, Dr visits and any test deemed needed by him? I'm going to name my imaginary, dilapidated boat. 💦 "BLIP!"💦 😢

Elizabeth (Dave Foley's administrative assistant manager) tries to duck out of the group hug, still true to form. Brilliant run, Kids!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Yeah, but did they make it?

Most were funnier than snl

11:50 – Nice reference to B&B!!🔥

Has anybody ever paid attention to the little details in the back/foreground?
And what is the obsession with the number 17, and other cabalistic numbers? If you sum up the algarisms in the fore/background, its almost always 17. Its usually either a cousin or cabalistic number.
I get here, again, to the last episode, and will often go back to the first season. There's nothing that comes close to it, I guess.
I am open to suggestions though.

I thought Bellini would have a foreign accent.

I finally binge watched the five seasons so I can watch and support them on their current season (2022)

Kith saw into the future so often. I mean consider: gay bars going strait, the return of the nazis, and get me some of that soup.

Have nice week Cathy!
