    Am I Missing Something?

    Bergorks

    If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

    It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

    It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

    Weird Canadian humor, but great. The sketches are smart, the actors work very well with each other. Some stuff makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but is nonetheless hilarious (like worshiping a man who only wears a towel). Highly recommended if you are a fan of sketch comedy television or enjoy quirky, obscure humor (who doesn't)? I watched this show mostly when I stayed home sick from middle school, so maybe my fever-addled brain added to the strangeness of the series, but somehow I doubt it. I've watched plenty of the show in a perfectly healthy state and it is still as bizarre as ever, yet brilliant.It seems that not many people have seen this show and that's too bad. It will forever be held fondly in my memory as a shining example of how silly and goofy adults can be, yet still do good work.

    This comedy series is just Hilarious in a freaky and silly way that nobody could match until this day! You will laugh the whole way through starting from the way they look, the way they talk and the topics they raise. It's hysterical. Represents not only transexuality, gays, women, couples, relationships and friendship but also deeper emotions and conflicts like being lonely, desperate, being the odd one, higher authorities, bosses and prison, dancers and shows, ego-related issues, socializing, 'being normal', belonging and mingling with others and 'being shameless, disinhibitied and open about oneself'. Imagine all this shown in the mid 80's and in the funniest way ever! Painful subjects acted by an absolutely talented crew. Funny all the way and every episode is unique. Best of all their freakiness makes you giggle in disbelief!

    Warning! Spoilers Ahead!Back in the day, Comedy Central was a mixed bag of mediocre 1980s comedies, Douminian-and-Ebersole-era "Saturday Night Live" reruns and twisted original shows. "Kids in the Hall," while actually originally airing on another station, was Comedy Central's best program. It's a shame that the network has elected not to rerun any more episodes."Kids in the Hall" can best be described as a twisted, bizarre sketch comedy that really stretched the limits of good taste and simple logic. Most of the sketches were weird commentaries on everyday moments in peoples' lives, such as sex, work in the office, and marital problems. Others involved extremely weird characters, such as a half-human, half-chicken character hopelessly looking for love; a flying pig; and a guy with an Eastern European accent whose main hobby involved squeezing his thumb and forefinger in front of people's faces in attempt to "crush their heads." A small cast of five players performed most of the skits, and put in a tremendous amount of effort to make sure they were funny. The limited cast also meant the men played women's as well as men's roles. In spite of the small cast, the show was incredibly funny, proving that sometimes in skit comedy, less is more. Marathons of "Kids in the Hall" ensured that I'd watch Comedy Central for hours on a particular day. Now I barely watch that channel except to watch new episodes of "South Park." I highly recommend you rent old episodes of "Kids in the Hall" from the video store to see what Comedy Central was like in the old days.

    The kids in the hall shall forever be part of Canadian pop culture. The show introduces a group of comedians from Canada, who are extremely funny and charming. They pushed the limits with sexuality and comedy, along with pushing the sensors. If you have not seen this show, try and catch it because it's simply Canadian comedy at it's best! On their Tour Of Duty, I was lucky enough to see them when they came here to London, and having them to thank for getting me into writing and acting, it was a great honor to meet them. I stood for hours to meet them, and I was so excited, I barely said anything. I did however shake Mark's hand when he was impressed by my drawing of him. He liked it so much he didn't want to sign it cause he was afraid to wreak it. Now it hangs on my wall, and although I believe it is one of the worst pictures I've ever drawn, it's one of my favorites! These guys are charming and funny and I love them soooo much! Gives me a reason to be proud of Canada!
