Kids In The Hall - The "Will Do" Guy in Prison

[@thecowboymajor]

I love Dave's face when he plays this character! :D

[@BrunoPuntzJones84]

He's a spaz and Dave plays him perfectly.

[@toonbat]

I love that it's not even a hack saw, but just a carpentry saw.

[@MandleRoss]

Yeah, I'd say they probably realized that the audience wouldn't parse the shape of a hacksaw easily.

[@1leech]

Slipped my mind.....

[@KUarentaKILLA]

Aren’t you too chubby for cake

[@cheesecake134]

Bake me a cake with a saw in it. Sure, I can do that. I mean, I've done that before. I mean, it was an accident. Two of my favorite characters.

[@louistournas120]

and he says I'm sure I can figure out how I did it and do it again. I love the nutty conversation between the two.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

That was a brilliant touch. How does someone accidentally bake a saw in to a cake? LOL

[@brianseymour5191]

It's that condescending attitude of his that gives you both the chuckles and the desire to hurt him.

[@JonathanRodd]

Dean is so different from the kind kind of characters that Kevin usually plays. He is so good at doubletakes and high pitched screams that he often plays over-the-top characters. I love all of Kevins characters but this one stands out the most because of how unique he is.

[@chiefobeef]

Dean reminds me of his whole "did you give the gun a good cleaning?" dad in Brain Candy

[@Colddeed]

I think the fact that Mark isn't singing the traditional birthday song, actually makes it funnier.

[@kontiuka]

Or that they have no problem letting Dean have a sharp knife. :)

[@Ken.-]

The birthday song is copyrighted. That's why you never hear it on TV.

[@hrodga]

@@Ken.- It was at the time this aired, but it was declared to be public domain in 2016.

[@stefs7141]

Just the passion. The guy is really into birthdays

[@ZetaReticuli_]

The first clue he was being let out soon was the fact that he was ordering tickets to Phantom of The Opera. In the death chamber no less. Gotta love the dark humor in that. LOL

[@matthewbesson5367]

You never see Kev as the cool guy ever. Love this one.

[@berlinsaintclair9100]

Yes! That's so true. I remember one of the other sketches of "Slipped my Mind" where Dave Foley played the super nerd which, like you said, was totally the opposite of how they usually played roles. That's part of why I always loved these.

[@Xiaolaoshu621]

[@80swoodpanel]

Kevin is so good as Dean, you just know what catchphrase he'll say next but he still makes it funny everytime, that's talent! Dave is also great, always one step away from crying! I didn't expect a sequel and I was so glad to see this!

[@lizjo7213]

I'd forgotten about this one, I love Kevin...also the Billy Dreamer sketch, I can't stop laughing ...

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

I feel like they actually swapped who the characters were written for between Dave & Kevin. That Dave is playing a Kevin Character and Kevin is playing Dave character, or that they're trying to play each other acting out these roles.

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

These sketches always cracked me up. Dave is usually Mr. Deadpan and Kevin is usually kind of mugging for the camera and this time it's flipped the other way.

[@346436]

I just read that Kevin auditioned for CatDog as the role of Cat doing this voice. Wonder how different the show would have been with that in mind.

[@AvengerII]

Dave's characters is as stupid as Dean is sociopathic! That's why the sketch series work. They balance each other so well. They only made something like 4 or 5 sketches in this series, didn't they? It doesn't feel like they did more than 6 with Dean and The Dope, tops.

Licensing "Happy Birthday to You" for a network show like this costs thousands of dollars. I take it KITH didn't have much of a music licensing budget.

[@Michael-pf8we]

Bullshit. Happy Birthday is public domain.

[@omnibus4157]

@@Michael-pf8we Not back in the 80s, when this KITH episode was shot, or 8 years ago, when the original comment was written, so 2012. Warner Bros. claimed the copyright in those days: "In 1988, Warner/Chappell Music purchased the company owning the copyright for US$25 million, with the value of "Happy Birthday" estimated at US$5 million. On September 22, 2015, federal judge George H. King ruled that the Warner/Chappell copyright claim over the lyrics was invalid. The 1935 copyright held by Warner/Chappell applied only to a specific piano arrangement of the song, not the lyrics or melody. The court held that the question of whether the 1922 and 1927 publications were authorized, thus placing the song in the public domain, presented questions of fact that would need to be resolved at trial. However, Warner/Chappell had failed to prove that it actually had ever held a copyright to the lyrics, so the court was able to grant summary judgment to the plaintiffs, thus resolving the case." - Wikipedia So before you use vulgar language at someone, research your facts.

@@Thunderchild-gz4gc I wouldn't except there's citations. And when I worked in TV in the 90s as a production secretary/APOC, no show I was on would allow the use of Happy Birthday, because they didn't want to get in trouble with WB.

The real reason they didn't sing "happy birthday", is they didn't want to pay royalties. But it's funnier anyway.
