The Kids in the Hall, Canada’s own inside joke, are returning to the city that backdropped the sketches of the beloved troupe for a string of shows at Danforth Music Hall tonight (Thursday April 22), Saturday and Sunday.
To celebrate the boy’s return to town, we put together a selection of the best sketches you can find online.
For a full journey through the surreal story of the kids, check out NOW’s thorough oral history. But for a quick fix, here are five easy laughs from the Canadian comedy greats.
Trapper
Because a canoe full of Quebecois hunters terrorizing an office place is the most Canadian thing to happen until Toonie Tuesday.
Girl drink drunk
Alcoholism may not seem like a funny subject, but imagining if it was only ridiculously elaborate tiki cocktails and blended drinks been definitely is.
Borrowed Art
“Paintings? You mean… my art.”
Daves I know
Always had a soft spot for this one (I know two Daves… But then again, who doesn’t?)
Tammy – Roses
One of those sketches you just have to applaud for making it all the way from paper to money shot spewing fruit production.
