Showing up in the work uniform with goth makeup on and saying "sorry I just got off work so I had to do my makeup in the car" is the most relatable thing I've ever seen

[@jonsrecordcollection7172]

In my 20s, I dated a woman who was a former high school Goth like in the show. Somebody asked her once, "Is it really like this?" She would sigh and pause, but eventually say "Yes..."

[@Theomite]

Goth Talk was such a great sketch concept. The fact that it all took place in Florida made it even better.

[@MichaelCorryFilms]

I live in south Florida. Goths everywhere.

[@triggerwarning3010]

Ain't Marilyn Manson from florida

[@MichaelCorryFilms]

@@triggerwarning3010 Yup. My wife lived down the block from him in Coral Springs, FL and he went to Broward community college as a journalism student. Basically he gave up writing but wanted to try his hand at music. He knew he wasn't very good at the time so he formed the spooky kids. They kinda sucked so he had to put on a theatrical shock show. Good for him, it worked out.

[@Agent1W]

It makes me feel very verklempt though. They can talk amongst themselves...

[@181cameron]

Came here for Ricci. But gotta say, Molly Shannon looks hot as a goth.

[@Zephonerradicator]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@robertlloyd122]

IKR?

[@Agent1W]

I'd never thought to say that Molly actually looks GOOD in that fashion. But I like Christina in her darker hair. I'm not quite into the blonde look.

[@tuccikaa]

omg my jaws dropped when i realized that bauhaus is playing in the beginning :D soooo epic! perfect choice for this section.

Is that what's playing when Ricci comes in? What is the name of the song?

[@renelongoria701]

Maybe Charlotte Sometimes by the cure would have been a good choice too, but "Bela Lugosi's dead " was definitely a nice surprise . Oh Ubiquitous mr. Lovegrove by Dead can dance would have also worked, I think..

[@renelongoria701]

@@justagirlandherphone there was an article a couple of years ago about how the youngsters who were the Joy Division album cover tshirt really don't listen to JD because most of them are turned off by the name Joy Division because when look it up on wikipedia;they find out that joy Division was the name for the sex slave trade department of the Nazi party so they're immediately turned off by it and dont even bother listening to their music and have no idea what or how that little band from Manchester influenced the " goth bands " they listen to right now decades later!

Why aren’t there more Goth Talk sketches on KZbin!? This was one of my favorite sketches, especially the Sarah Michelle Gellar hosted one.

[@jennifergersch9126]

There are a few on the NBC app. Plus the Blair Witch one that they did later which is absolutely hysterical.

[@AngelofMusic04]

I'm wondering if if might be a rights issue since the "Goth Talk" sketch they put on the NBC site completely altered all of the music.
