Kids in the Hall: Food

[@chopin65]

It's the little touches. This is great comedy. Scott Thompson can inhabit any character and be that person. He only needs his tremendous talent, and his love of people. He is a giant in comedy.

[@iloveyourunclebob]

Scott really is the best actor of the 5. The way he naturally navigates around the applause has really caught my attention in my recent rewatch of the show.

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

He was very versatile. Dumb redneck to sop gay nightlife​@@iloveyourunclebob

[@SaginawCareerComplex]

Prince Andrew and Fergie on the fridge, her being a staunch royalist is a funny bit of unmentioned world building in these skits.

[@brenthill3241]

"In the beginning there was Miracle Whip". Another Kids masterpiece. I'm 66 and this is the Ontario in which I lived. Almost too funny. I remember overhearing an argument of my parents and my dad exclaiming "But I don't want to shove the television up my ass." Fran and Gordon nail it everytime. The Salty Ham sketch is a staple among my friends.

[@jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj178]

I love Scott's matronly Ontario housewife character! Also, love the voice Bruce uses as her husband.

[@GrinningAries]

As a middle-class Ontarian WASP brought up around somewhat unadventurous people, I see so much of my mother and others' mothers in this character.

[@kegsofvomitspit]

Scott Thompson could always nail that bland character so well.

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

I always pictured WASPs as rich, east coast American old money types. Though I suppose by strict definition you don't actually have to be rich, I think that is one of the requirements.

[@kegsofvomitspit]

@@dickJohnsonpeter: White Anglo- Saxon Protestant Nothing in that acronym mentions economic status.

[@flwrfan1752]

Fran is one of my favorite characters on KITH.

[@Kaizerzydeco1]

I don’t think they even sold garlic in Ridgeway, Ontario, until 1989.

[@chrispnw2547]

The Fran and Gordon sketches were so darn good and Scott is one magical performer. It is a bit surprising what they were able to do in terms of content 20+ years ago. Edgy and insightful at the same time. What a great ensemble. Truly missed.

[@scottweinert5396]

Scott Thompson never ceases to crack me up! His Buddy Cole skits are my favorite.

[@Ursaminor31]

They are fantastic characters. They never made fun, they portrayed real people. Talent. Scott we love you.

Guilty. I had to look it up.

"It's a goddamn bennie!" Interesting how Gordon recognized it right away...

[@John_McDonnell]

Gordon's been around the block, man. Gordon's lived.

[@MrNostalgiaX]

“….. or a Korean and Filipino”? Well I’m actually 1/2 of each ethnically so Fran has no excuse if she ever met me. Haha I love the Gordon, Fran, and Brian skits so much. Kids in the Hall forever!

Benny is slang for a tablet of an amphetamine. Benny’s were tablets of speed. Nick name for Benzedrine.

Wait a minute, I thought milk came in bags in Canada.

[@Stevo935]

+SpiritBear12 It certainly can. Used to come in jugs, too. I still opt for the carton.

[@SpiritBear12]

Stevo935 Me too, I hate the plastic jugs. They impart a weird flavor to the milk, where paper cartons or glass bottles don't. But in the states, milk is not sold in bags, unless it's for milk dispensing machines in restaurants.

The image of the Queen on the fridge looks to be that of the Scott Thompson version of Elizabeth II. "Heh-leeeeeeoooo!" 1:05

[@Andrea-xs4ny]

Oh, darn. I really expected the parents would take the "meal in a pill" and it would go from there.

[@RobertoRodriguez-tm2op]

funny how nowadays fusion food is a common thing, KITH prophesized it!

[@alexsdb9712]

Not really, because it was already happening when this skit was created! That's why the Kids created this skit. Food exploded by the late 80s especially, as in many different choices and creations never seen or accessible than before.

Still reflective of Midwest cuisine. Is the Midwest perhaps more Canada than Canada now?

[@funkmike]

The Midwest voted for Donald Trump, while Canada voted for Justin Trudeau, so I'm going to say...no.

[@John_McDonnell]

The Midwest has either not changed since 1985, or regressed further. Whereas Canada is progressing, advancing, evolving.
