The Kids in the Hall - Manny Coon

[@visualverbs]

Scott Thompson was the best actor of the Kids. His expressions are PRICELESS!

[@OhHelloSugar]

Legit one of the best comedy monologues of all time.

[@JoanieDriftwood]

I know every single word by heart. I became a fine art painter and this guy is my spirit animal😅

[@Cspspack]

I went to art school and this isn’t too far off from reality.

[@doctorfeelfunny584]

"I still take the existence of peaches on hearsay". $50 says that's a Dave Foley line.

[@worldprojector7757]

that's my favourite line in this. seriously wonder who wrote this one - doesn't seem like scott did?

[@TheBabayga]

"....I don't lick stranger's faces unless I'm fucking em..." If I know who wrote that line, I'll be content.

[@cityhawk]

@@worldprojector7757 Maybe Bruce. He loves to go into the absurdist and surrealist direction as well.

[@The_Mimewar]

“I feel like to puke”. I use that often

[@MrJohnnyshakes]

"Here I stand before you. Drunk, smug, impotent..." holds back tears

[@russellcrawley2110]

"I don't lick stranger's faces unless I'm f@#$ing 'em!" That line kills me.

[@nigelliotta3440]

"...and it was a lime..." Brilliant.

[@incarnateTheGreat]

This monologue is arguably one of the top KITH sketches, but this particular bit about the Lime was perfect.

[@PaladinDusty]

Scott is the queen of monologues

[@careyjohn0144]

TheNurdbilly YES. It sounds like maybe bruce wrote this primarily but Im SO glad Scott did it and not bruce. I love Bruce but Scott gave this a whole new level of awesome.

[@familyaccount7840]

Bruce is the King and Scott the Queen.

[@Spirosaur]

That's honestly really great art advice though

[@maxbrandt6]

Best skit ever! Scott Thompson is awesome, he can play any character you throw at him!

[@samanthagraves2710]

His delivery is genius.

[@bikebudha01]

Pure art... Damm I miss this show...

[@dutchchatham1]

One of the greatest monologues ever written.

[@jlh5150]

I'm a huge fan of TKitH. This has got to be one of the funniest skits. I'd completely forgotten about it, until I watched it again. LOL! "I was sold to the cleaning lady for a stamp."

[@troutymctrouttrout3809]

Single best monologue of the whole series.

[@sstaners1234]

“When I look out on the sea of faces I feel like to puke.”

[@davidgo8874]

I don't remember seeing this. CBC must've censored it. Love seeing these un cut episodes of KITH! The swears add a level of edginess.

[@ryandaniszewski3913]

Yeah must have been an HBO exclusive. I watched every episode a dozen times on the Comedy Network, but I never saw this sketch until I bought the DVDs.

[@johnwojcik2924]

Sounds like stuff Tom Waits might say.

[@johnkelsiemcnair7787]

Manny Coon is Rick Sanchez from the Bellini dimension.

[@mikewines7852]

We lived on the outskirts of town in an abandoned freezer. Hilarious.

[@paul_bellini]

It's an underrated KITH sketch for sure.

[@mrnobody4047]

Unfortunately, ALL Kids in the Hall sketches are criminally underrated.

[@jer2dabear]

Hey Paul Bellini...can I touch you?

[@incarnateTheGreat]

Always paint bigger and better tits! It was the tits!

[@jeremyhendricks5734]

This and the Cocaine skit and Danny Husk, fucking priceless. Bless your heart Scott.

[@Mr.Guild1971]

Sure I've seen them all , I can think of a few but which one are ya talking about? more details.... HAHA the babysitter with the jug of pcp comes to mind

[@jeremyhendricks5734]

Haha the one where Scott is the host of a dinner party and he keeps going upstairs to snort 😂😂😂 It’s so great.

[@TheSpoartsNetwork]

Reminds me of Tom Waits lyrics.

[@johnwojcik2924]

I THOIUGHT THE SAME THING!

[@lemmyjoker3678]

Same! Also weird this is the art skool I went to but never graduated so this fills that hole. Much much cheaper too

[@williamcrowe2576]

Scary thing, I might end up having to give a speech at an art school someday.

[@careyjohn0144]

LOL I had never seen this! I can see why it was probably censored, at least here in the US. I thought I had seen them all...and what I just saw was probably in the top 3 characters and sketches they ever did.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Shit like this should make writers at SNL feel embarrassed.

[@shawnl1155]

Thank you so much for posting these Paul.

[@paulroberts8479]

Best monologue on the show!!!! Right next to Dave Foley's love for menstruation monologue.

[@aum3.146]

one of my favorites!

[@MooreBradPlease]

I've been trying to find this skit for more than 10 years now, and for whatever reason I could not find it until today when my friend sent it to me. This feels like the urtext for the Dr Evil monologue from Austin Powers. In fact I'd bet Mike Myers was inspired by it seeing as how he was canadian and must have known the KITH through Lorne at least. "The only way I can c*m is to be hit by a bus" is maybe the funniest line I've ever heard

[@ryandaniszewski3913]

You should watch the documentary on KITH that just released on Amazon. Not only did Mike Myers perform with them at the Revoli, he said one of his dreams as a young comedian was to be a member of the Kids in the Hall. Funny enough, that would have been before either of them met Lorne.

[@marsneedstowels]

I'm guessing you mean the Dr. Evil childhood speech, and yea I could see why you'd think they're similar, and with the Michaels connection but this is probably one of those interesting coincidences.

[@minime6814]

Pure Genius 🙂

[@Aeroldoth3]

Sometimes I wonder strange things. I look at the people in the background, on the right, and I wonder what became of their lives. Were they actors, or just friends/relatives used for the skit? They look so.... boring... I wonder if they led boring lives or went on to more exciting things. Was this the highlight of their lives or just a blip on the radar? Sometimes I look at "background" people and I wonder at their lives.

[@SCSilk]

I do this all the time.

[@davidlong1786]

A year after you posted this, I wonder what became of YOUR life. You sound so boring. So you think those poor people in the background were boring. They probably went on to do what they wanted. What's YOUR goals?

[@Colfax11000]

I love how Dave Foley is sitting behind him and has no lines.

[@MrRolandMichel]

Not Dave, but an actual female, don'tchano.

[@David_Downs]

@@MrRolandMichel That is Tiffany Lacey, she was married to Kevin at the time.

[@theBaron0530]

@@David_Downs Thanks, I've been trying to ID her. That also makes some sense in the way he looks at her specifically after he delivers the line about licking someone's face. She also appeared as Kevin's girlfriend in the sketch, "Cat's Away" in episode 19 of season 1.

Omg this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen 🤣

[@Emiliapocalypse]

I had to google it, I think the German Shepherd hobo is referring to a show called The Littlest Hobo. Anyone know if that’s right? I’ve never seen it 🤔🤓😅

[@zodiac09]

That is correct. The littlest hobo was a popular Canadian TV show. That dog just roamed around and helped people. He was an awesome dog.

[@marsneedstowels]

@@zodiac09 Hobo is the Canadian Lassie.

2:19 Dave Foley has never looked more attractive as a woman.

[@David_Downs]

That is not Dave, that is Tiffany Lacey, she was Kevins wife at the time.

[@Trilaan]

I really thought so for a moment, too. I had to look again.

[@russell2952]

I thought it was Dave as well. Was mostly listening and not paying attention and assumed it was him. On second viewing I'll say she's gotta be his twin sister.

[@KairuHakubi]

1:07 that woman was really psyched about the cleaning woman being named Magda.

[@EffortlessCool2]

I wonder if this character was any influence on Rick from Rick and Morty..

[@terracottapie]

Great sketch, but why do they crack up at "The Ontario College of Art"? Is there some inside joke or something in the news I am not aware of because I'm not Canadian?

[@greymajickjedi]

FIRST. This is one of the most awesome KITH bits and i never saw it until today! Was this one banned in America?

[@maxbrandt6]

No, it aired on Showtime at night back in the 90s.

[@GregorCaliber]

Is this the proto Rick Sanchez?

Right?! Has to be!

Yes.
