Kids in the hall: Hoopla

[@eroq]

Scott Thompson's face after he says "don't even think about it" is awesome

[@Kowasi]

You could tell that he was thinking about it…

[@itlentertain]

he was trying extra hard not to think about it imo

[@Thatnigacj]

It’s as if the thought completely vanished from his head at that moment.

[@bronhi]

thanks to the originality and brilliance of this sketch, i haven't had to pay for salt in years!

[@KairuHakubi]

I love how many of their sketches are about elaborate, unlikely hoaxes

[@Whit_Siever]

"They see your face?" "No, I don't think so"

[@jackwody7774]

I'm always impressed by the amazing imagination in the story lines.

[@gnussyflarkin]

Agreed. The sheer absurdity of some of their sketches it what makes them so great. I generally think that comedy is best when it's grounded in some kind of reality. But Kids in the Hall consistently prove the exception to that rule. I think it's also why their comedy is so timeless.

[@rozbot86]

This is one of my favorite sketches from KITH. Don't even think about it!!

[@andrewptob]

I remember seeing this as a little kid and to this day, I sometimes say, "Ok, what's with all the hoopla...?" Haha

[@afinelookinggentleman2631]

AOB lol! Me too! And nobody ever gets the joke! Haha

[@deftones3138]

I also do this and never get a good response 😅 I also think seeing these odd sketches as a kid permanently altered by sense of humor

[@EmiOfTheCentury]

it's the obscurity of this sketch that makes me like it so much...sounds like they're going to use that salt for something important, but we'll never know what.

[@monkeyb1820]

I remember that sales of Morton's iodized really skyrocketed for a few weeks after this sketch.

[@johnleeson6946]

I read where Wensleydale cheese sales picked-up after a Wallace & Gromit short! 🧀 How’s that for a vague reference?! 🇬🇧 “Don’t get saucy with me, Bernaise!”

[@cheesecake134]

I love the story Mark is telling in the beginning about his girlfriend throwing vegetarian chili at him and it killing one of his angel fish.

[@LynchMobFilms]

"I am not a man, I am a security guard!".

[@mckernan603]

I had to look up the location: (roughly speaking) 445 Cherry St, Toronto, Canada. Then I was shocked there's a neighborhood called CABBAGE TOWN?

[@WinkLinkletter]

There is a "Cabbage Town" in Atlanta, Georgia as well. It is an old neighborhood where many of the residents seem more like rural southerners than people living in the middle of a metropolis.

[@SK371]

Imagine if someone did that in real life. If a well dressed guy just came up to some guys in a restaurant, went on a crazy rant for a minute, grabbed their condiments and ran out the door. The people at that table would remember that guy for the rest of their lives.

[@yellowblanka6058]

They would either turn away/quickly leave, absorb themselves in their phones and pretend not to hear, or instantly start a fight that would spill over into the street.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

@@yellowblanka6058 That would depend where you are. Pulling a stunt like that in Nevada...? That salt shaker better be VERY important. Because that "security guard" would get himself a good old fashioned smack down, and would be walking funny for the rest of his life.

[@dougmassari6977]

Probably has been really done.

[@bencousins7311]

thank you for uploading this i remember the bit about stealing the salt but i could not remember the name of the sketch

[@andrewptob]

I'm not a man...I'm a security guard!"

[@WinkLinkletter]

They've gotta get that NaCl over to the "Salt in my Eye" sketch pronto!

[@Colddeed]

They got the salt. That's the most important thing.

[@deftones3138]

I feel like one of the KITH guys heard his grandpa say ‘hoopla’ once and felt inspired to make this entire sketch around it

[@bentonrp]

It's such a weird slang term. If someone uses it to express how angry they are about it, it could be vague enough to never define what they mean by it. Especially if they don't clarify. The prank in this skit can virtually work anywhere! For more than just a mere salt shaker at that!

[@Conchobhar]

That's enough hoopla out of you, mister.

[@Laughandsong]

The defunct Canary Restaurant. Memories!

[@funkmike]

That's a cool Chevy Nova they drove off in at the end.

[@Bobicici]

I smiled the whole way through, but I didn't last until the very very end. "Did they see your face?" "No I don't think so" HAH

[@ezakustam]

I like to think the reason I find people so puzzling is that things like this are literally happening all the time.

[@joesinnett2985]

ya know what hoopla makers get? an ear toss

[@havable]

Saw this decades ago but never noticed Kevin McDonald was eating his fries with a fork! Genius!

[@whatdothlife4660]

Can you explain how that's genius?

[@dk50b]

So that's two of Bruce's characters who posses an innate curiosity on the weight of heads.

[@AndrewSpriter]

man, too bad the canary restaurant isn't there anymore D:

[@Juggernaut48]

I'm confiscating your salt, GUYS.

[@walterkovacs4069]

There is no earthly reason why i should adore this sketch so much! XD

[@Lukeor]

Throws the jacket worth 100 times more than the salt....

[@Kowasi]

I have a theory that the salt pot had something extremely valuable in it under the salt. A microchip with top secret information or maybe a diamond…

[@neuvocastezero1838]

You have to remember, this was written around the same time as the salt riots of the '90s.

[@dk50b]

How much do you their heads weigh?

[@sweatybanana969]

He's such a good spaz lol!

[@zrobeast]

I’m confiscating your salt *GUYS*!

[@SaltyFloridian]

So the sign over the window in the background says ask about our soup. Could it be shitty soup?! Just wondering...

[@kennethperez6236]

It’s all f’ing hoopla. Isn’t it though?

[@trza101]

I distinctly heard hoopla.

[@BenevoIence]

sounds like alot of hoopla......

[@greeneyesbell1]

Looks like 4 people didn't get the salt now..

[@donnyisballin3]

SOUNDS LIKE A LOTTA HOOPLA!, #HooplaGang

[@AlexzawaMechury]

Lol I searched up hoopla and this came up XD

[@jacthesnack]

this reminds me of skateboarders getting hassled by security guards

[@Mineav]

What was all this hoopla about?

[@aggcavan943]

The Canary had an amazing hot hamburger.

[@jakesaysknee]

He's probably the one who threw that brick at the hoopla fish...

[@ghostofandy]

Is Kevin eating his fries with a fork?? What the hell's wrong with him?!

[@brazoshopper5081]

i'm not a man! i'm a security guard!

[@starbolt34]

LOL poor Scott!!

[@BuddhaBot]

... didn't see THAT coming.

[@JonathanRodd]

This skit makes me want to eat some diner food D:

[@ghostofandy]

Is anyone else dying to ask about the soup?

[@BigWesLawns]

the Canary!! classic!

[@imashmenge7981]

Pause at 1:36 and check out the prices for beer and drinks. I’m paying $7.50 for a pint these days! How about you?

[@friskystapler]

i love eating fries with a fork!

[@bastlake]

Bruce looks like Sam Neill here

[@interrobang321]

is scott wearing a Michigan State hoodie?

[@soulshaker205]

Do you have the video where Bruce is the flying pig?

[@clownnookie]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmLdZHdrrJZnesU

[@the.gods.of.obliviousity]

freakin awesome...................doesn't make sense but it doesn't have to.

[@spiderbabyspider]

yes, .yes it is.

[@heathermlinscek7669]

You know what hoopla makers get?

[@modeabel]

Sounds like a lot of HOOPLA!

[@JuggaloFloob]

What's with eating fries with a fork? lol

[@Maphisto86]

I think this sketch was based on a scene in the first draft of George Orwell's "Nineteen-Eighty Four". When the government starts complaining about your right to make hoopla that is when Big Brother wins.

[@mttloebach]

Sounds like a lot of......

[@JohnWayneColt45]

he didn't get kicked in tha head by a cow niether :)

[@bronhi]

Bruce is so hot in this one.

[@MrGleamMusic]

[@piratecheese13]

what the fuck would you need sallt that badly for i think he is having the most hoopla

[@Xadaj127]

The fuck was the deal with the salt...?

[@zrobeast]

Xadaj127 They’re gonna use the salt to cause some hoopla.

[@dougmassari6977]

What's with all the hoopla in these comments?

[@oneidababe]

Bruce's outfit reminds me of Max Payne here lol
