Kids In The Hall - Business Opportunity

[@nope-z5y]

Kids in the Hall precisely predicted NFTs.

[@peoplez129]

Not exactly. What he's really detailing is fake collateral used as capital. For example, let's say I own a million peoples underwear in principle, and on average, they're worth $1 a piece, and I've given them 50 cents a piece to have that contract. I now have 1 million dollars in potential capital that I could use to borrow actual money or trade for something else that generates money. Then by creating gotcha-stipulations, with fine print, I can also create conditions that are hard to follow, causing most of them to violate those stipulations and have to forfeit their underwear to me, thus gaining the actual capital, making more than what I spent....while also still having the contract with the others to use as capital. So let's say 50% of them default. I've made my money back entirely. And still have capitol from the other 50%, effectively making my total capitol about 1.5 million dollars....by spending only 500k. It's pretty much how sleezy used car salesman operate, where they "sell" cars to poor people that they know a large percentage will default on, allowing them to repossess it and resell it, effectively only renting the car....but with none of the drawbacks that put them on the hook for things like maintenance and insurance. So they resell and repossess the same cars over and over, allowing them to potentially make more doing that than the car is worth, while still selling the car for its full value in the end to someone who eventually doesn't default.

@@peoplez129 you're WAY overcomplicating it.

[@jswets5007]

I was thinking a similar thought. How relevant it is to, you will own nothing and be happy... Because who could be happy owning nothing in a paradigm where wealth equates to power and social status. 😂

[@Thrifty032781]

I usually despise when someone says "such and such predicted this thing that happened later", because usually the "predictor" made a broad statement that somebody later applied to something unrelated. But in this case..... this sketch does describe NFTs pretty accurately. People are literally paying money for the concept of owning something, without actually having anything concrete.

[@hackabilly4787]

With such insightful comments you are exactly the business opportunist we are looking for.

[@jor-elmasterofscheduling2002]

This was the first thing that came to mind when I heard about NFTs

[@scotty3034]

Any time I see Bruce McCullough on the screen, I get happy.

[@katharinehorowitz1709]

Phase 1: Collect underpants. Phase 2: Phase 3: Profit

[@ericwilliams1659]

Of course I know how corporations work.

[@RareHarmony]

I feel like this whole sketch tries to explain Phase 2.

[@cautionTosser]

Time to go to work Work all day

[@bunberrier]

Someone had to say it

[@LostOneOmega]

This definitely seems like "A Bruce" sketch. LoL

[@Emiliapocalypse]

Agree! This has Bruce written all over it 😅

[@shamusbob7969]

Surrealism? A commentary on something? Feels like a weird nightmare or a short film? Definitely "A Bruce"

[@jaywilley955]

Ain’t that the truth. Well said. 👏

[@opaljk4835]

Jay Willey it’s Brucio

[@destubae3271]

Fuck the buh buh buh bank

[@jaywilley955]

Good Lord. 30 years after this sketch Ponzi scheme yank offs still use these vomit inducing tactics. Thank you KITH for being so very, very funny and decades ahead of your time. 😀❤️🙏

[@mayssm]

"So how do you make money?" "See, there are a limited number of your underwear. So, by buying the exclusive rights to the idea of owning your underwear while not actually owning them, we will create a limited supply of deeds to your underwear. No one else can say they own the rights to your underwear, despite not physically owning your underwear. This will drive up the value of the deed to your underwear, and new investors will flock in and drive up the price of all of the NFTs...I mean your underwears." "Isn't this like those 'buy a star" or an 'area on the moon' deals that have been around forever?" "No, this is nothing like that. This is your underwear."

[@JesseMaurais]

"A guy last week tried to buy my underwear. Only he wasn't slick like you."

[@oliva77]

This is what I think of when people talk about the economy. And I wore glasses like that in HS, c.1990.

[@bastlake]

Jeremy Hotz, sniffling as usual

[@nebulousisgod]

I knew it was him! Thanks for the confirmation that I’m not just nuts

[@MrJimmyTide]

What a miserable comic he is! ;)

[@pantarei8382]

I answer none of the above in every survey i find!. Actually these guys just explained wall street

[@EpicBassSoIo]

well this was strangely ahead of its time

[@flotyu]

Is that Jeremy Hotz?

[@pretorious700]

Holy shit-the outro music is "Too Much Time" by Beefheart!!

[@divingduck1970]

Not quite. Can't be sure.

[@filmflour]

I thought it was Brown Eyed Girl.

[@buckbundy8642]

Gotta read that fine print before you find yourself free balling it.

[@A7Guitar]

This ought to be in a new kids in the hall movie. Its just got the classic kith weirdness they added to some sketches

[@demetriusstewart6701]

Today that clipboard would've been a tablet true facts i miss these classics

[@jjii66]

lol Armada must have had a gig coming up... did those guys ever make it?

[@buckbundy8642]

Featuring Herman Manderchuck

[@gaggle64]

Did KITH predict the 2007 crash with underwear?

[@RandallChase1]

This is how Glenn from the show Superstore was hired by Cloud 9... this is his origin story..

[@AvengerII]

Just another one of those bizarro KITH sketches that was beamed in from another dimension of wacky! Given how the world is today, you could ALMOST buy somebody trying to do something like this with a CELEBRITY'S underwear!

[@nebulousisgod]

People buy regular soiled underwear over the Internet all the time.

[@AvengerII]

@@nebulousisgod Celebrity Underwear is on a different level! The stuff people steal from laundromats is never going to be as special as Marilyn Monroe undies or Jane Mansfield bras! I'm pretty sure MM had stuff stolen from what she bequeathed the Strasbergs. They had a storage locker that was broken into and Marilyn mementos including some clothing was taken. I don't know if any that material was found by the police and returned to the Strasberg. Of course, it was an inside job and someone tipped the crook to what was in that locker.

[@bert-qu3iq]

1:52 Hey, isn't that a poster for ARMADA on the wall behind Mark? ( Rod Torkelsen's Armada featuring Herman Menderchuk.) The boys are moving up in the world, advertising in a laundromat.

[@kxmode]

Sounds like NFTs

[@SoleaGalilei]

Boy, they couldn't get away with a sketch like this today. People just can't take a joke about laundry anymore. (Am I doing it right? There's one of these stupid comments on every freaking KITH video on youtube.)

[@ezekielbrockmann114]

Holy Cow! Except for the $15.00, this is facebook in a nutshell. Prescient!

[@tharealmikezee3165]

They love to knock "businessmen" all the time that was gr8 for the early 90s. And Bruce loves playing salesmen!

[@vanessamurphy4667]

OMG!!!! Jeremy Hotz!!!!!

[@marklarsontube556]

Jeremy Hotz??

[@jaywilley955]

Correct!!

[@crashburn3292]

I knew that businessman hanging out in that laundromat in Dallas in 1997 was up to no good....

[@obeythemelon]

God, I've talked to these kinds of people. They make you feel special like you qualify for something great when really they're glorified salespeople. Thank god I realized something was wrong before I signed anything.

[@brocktoon8]

Man, I wish I could have experiences like this. But it's not the 90s anymore. : (

[@tinytanks]

bruce mccollough is the original michael ian black

[@bonniebickett4520]

Welcome Mr. president!

[@MrLazyEyes]

Jeremy Hotz :D

[@Shamus8b8]

does anyone know what this character was called? He was also in the garbage man skit, who is he?

[@inquisitorrex9012]

Kids in the hall queen

[@Guitcad1]

OMG! Just when I thought I'd seen everything they ever did!

[@josephparrotta1159]

But for $15 he could have bought a whole pack of underwear.

[@mgjk]

During the dot-com bust, a friend of mine had a business collecting and selling used underwear. There's a market.

[@finnhaverkamp]

Lol this is just like the book Dead Souls

[@vmelkon]

There is always a catch.

[@NotSure109]

One little clause and the whole deal hits the skids.

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

Jeremy Hotz!

[@shootingdio7200]

NFTs

[@Unguided]

NFTs would be more like buying a key to a safe deposit box where a photo of the underwear was stored.

[@jasontaverner391]

And we went on to become a Cloud 9 manager.... and now you know, the rest of the story!

[@thefekete]

The original underpants gnome??

[@upsyndrome]

QUIXTAR!

[@jawnQuixote]

NFTs???

[@TheRealMirCat]

Is this where South Park got the idea?

[@gangreneday]

Nfts

[@only257]

Hiliarous 👻

[@yassirmorales5709]

Who’s here for the NFTs?

[@Sigh95]

Uber for underwear Uberwear

[@shadetreader]

This is exactly how much sense capitalism makes.

[@jaywilley955]

Good Christ. We shall forgive you on account of your age. I’m guessing at the time of this post, 20 years old. Please tell the truth and also if you are not under 21, then an extra special enlightenment be upon you.

[@eastonezra2103]

I I’m actually planning on buying my first car today without my family knowing because they all doubted me when I started investing in bitcoin. But today with the help of Luiz I I’m a happy and fulfilled soul

[@NotSure109]

I'd like to lease the title of ownership of your car - you, of course would retain possession. I just want to profit from the idea of owning your car. I don't take bitcoin though, only cash or soiled underwear.

[@keeftaylor834]

Bidenomics.

[@radiohaven5093]

The laugh tracks are god awful, but TKITH were comedy gold.

[@dominiczerafa8990]

Radio Haven it was taped in front of a live studio audience.

[@thingsofsuch]

Radio Haven you are a dummy, the way they did tv in the 90s aside from the shit you watch was many MANY takes in front of real people. That laugh track is the one in your head, of your parents, dismayed at all of your life choices. Not the audience at TKITH show.

[@ericschilling9064]

Yeah those SNL laugh tracks are the worst tho 🙄

[@stoneyj1a1]

Is that Kevin from Seinfeld? this sketch is pretty stupid actually
