The Kids in the Hall, the Canadian comedy troupe that launched Dave Foley’s career, will reunite for a comedic murder-mystery series on Canada’s CBC. Variety says:
Five members of the gender-bending comedy outfit, whose eponymous sketch comedy show ran on CBS and HBO in the first half of the 1990s, star in “Death Comes to Town.” [...]
Directed by Kelly Makin, who helmed the original “Kids in the Hall” series and movie, “Brain Candy,” the series is about what happens in a small town when all its most distinguished citizens are murdered. A suspect is arrested, there’s a trial and many dark secrets are revealed along the way.
This is excellent news, even though I don’t get CBC, so this doesn’t really affect me until Comedy Central buys distribution rights for U.S. audiences. But still: Kids in the Hall, man. Kids in the Hall and “The State” were the cornerstones of offbeat humor in the ’90s. I still put my index finger and thumb in front of my eye and pretend I’m crushing someone’s head.
Below: my favorite KitH skit.

Brilliant…before I even clicked “play” on that I thought of Foley hiding in the closet yelling “I’M FINE – I’M LOOKING FOR PAPERCLIPS”
The State and KitH…you and I can be friends if you just admit Project Runway is a pride full of gay.
For some reason, I read the headline and thought it was talking about a New Kids on the Block reunion.
The lesson? I need to start drinking at work.

Brain Candy = wildly overrated
“How do they get the monkeys to cum? They make them watch really kinky animal pornos, like two dogs making love to a cat…or an owl and a bear”
Night of the cow!

@Leapin_Lizards – I crush you, I crush you’re head, I’m crushing you, hehehe. Everything the Kids in the Hall did was brilliant. Brain Candy rules.
EVIL EEEEEEEEEEEVIL…………
Wait, Dave Foley has a career?
CHICKEN LADY LOVES LIFE!
wow! it’s amazing to think that we were watching the same show in early 90′s. except i was watching it in england, which automatically makes it ten times cooler and more sophisticated.
suck it matthew.
30 Helens agree……that this is a good idea
Brilliant. My fav also. 60 second story: I met Dave Foley in the lobby of an LA radio station. I am a huge fan and introduced myself, thanked him for his work and told him that Girl Drink Drunk was my fav sketch. He thanked me and said that it took several years to convince the rest of the guys that it would be a funny sketch to shoot. amazing. BTW – he is much taller than I expected. Maybe he was wearing lifts, because he said he was waiting to see someone about a job.
