Kids In The Hall - Ham of Truth

[@NAFstudios]

This sketch is really fucking good. Oops! I mean, fine comedy abounds, mom.

[@tomchrisfield7348]

Great comment 9 yrs ago, still great in 2024.

[@functio1]

'The ocean, Bob?' is still one of the funniest line deliveries in comedy history...

[@andreaflores1700]

I was busting up at THE OCEAN BOB

[@s.a.l.1974]

but you don't know anyone in the ocean Bob

[@pa2jonah]

Yes… gets me EVERY TIME!

[@christheghostwriter]

My favorite line read in comedy is when Rodney Dangerfield spots Ted Knight in the pro shop, trying on the hat Rodney had just been trashing. Dangerfield does a double take and says, "it looks good on you, though" "The ocean, Bob?" is a close second

[@DrRandomness]

"The ocean, Bob?" Holy crap, I was expecting that, and yet it was absolutely amazing how that line was delivered!

[@rabidrabbitshuggers]

"Bob--You don't know anyone in the ocean!"

[@marshfilm]

This sketch is a beautiful and 100% accurate representation of life as I experienced it as a Canadian teen in the late 80's. This belongs in the Smithsonian as far as I'm concerned.

[@Creaulx]

100% the way it was right down to the faux-poetic nonsense, and drunken nights. I do miss it.

[@Chalwa]

The Ham of Truth abounds, my friend.

[@marshfilm]

@@Chalwa ... The only Megadeth t-shirt I ever owned was that exact one, Mary Jane... and I have a video of me throwing up at a party in 1989 and my friends carrying me in the door and my mom saying "Maybe you should brush your teeth or take a shower?" ... there's so many other little things too. Of course I'm drinking and watching this again and laughing.

[@MrUppertorso]

The puffy vest over the full suit and tie is absolutely sending me. Just an extra cherry on top of this fabulous skit sundae. Also the chick in the crowd who like scream/laughs at 1:25 gets me every time.

[@artomalcov]

this show kept me sane growing up. when they only started showing at 2pm, I'd cut school to watch it. this was, of course before dvds...

[@chrisgross5409]

Yeah- they would put two episodes on in a row on Comedy Central.

[@Alsatiagent]

@Sean O’ Deli So many in Windsor, ON got to listen to great music out of Detroit, I'm glad we had some cultural offerings to return. KITH is not quite Motown but they were original.

[@DruNature]

@Sean O Deli i used to watch kids in the hall when i skipped school as a kid, good times, the best of times.

[@lockstar169]

I just realized "Laura" is Canadian actor/babe Nicole DeBoer when was VERY young. This stuff never gets old for me, so good...

[@JonathanRodd]

She was in a couple KITH sketches. She also played a minor part in the KITH movie Brain Candy.

[@HankBukowski]

Now do Lyle?

[@StephNuggs]

Dude that's that chick from Cube. Awesome movie. She's less of a babe in that movie tho.

[@Jayfive276]

A quick google search confirms that at the age of 51 she is still crazy stupid fine.

I swear Tenacious D ripped this whole bit off for The Pick of Destiny. Being disobedient to his father and running away, the montage of him running from place to place while music plays, having a rock battle with Satan (separate sketch, same characters).

[@shpeen8835]

[@JoesCaribbeanVanLife]

Well they became political dufuses just 3 years after this comment.

The ham miniseries is by far the masterpiece of the series. Though drunk dad will always have a place in my heart. Fine ham abounds!

[@karenmilcarek8299]

I know a "Bower"-we met at a party in '76; I was 19, he was 23 and we became instant friends. And yes he always had weed. Still does👍

[@sifugurusensei]

I was too young when I first watched KITH to appreciate the humor. Watching this as an adult, I think it's hilarious. their sketches are still weird but I just find myself laughing. Way better than SNL.

[@stevenmorrison3659]

Same

[@Sabbathtage]

Well both are from Lorne Michaels. I'd cut SNL some slack, think about how stupid fast those sketches come out, with a new host every week, and the majority sketches are live. That's a entirely different beast

[@sifugurusensei]

@@Sabbathtage you're right about that. I just don't like SNL now. The best years were the early 90's with talent like Jan Hooks, phil hartman, Norm Macdonald, etc

[@Bapuji42]

Kith was on at some ironically pivotal moments in my existence or rather “around” like when my sister told my dad she was dating a black guy and he went nuts, when my dad threw me into the screen door for shoving him when I couldn’t dye my hair, when I dropped out of college, dropped acid, called my dad from my apartment I paid for with tuition money. So many moments.
