Country club clubhouse. **Dave** enters SR, **Kevin** crosses SL, carrying a bag of golf clubs.

**Dave** : How’s the golfin’ out there today?

**Kevin** : Pretty good. You play?

**Dave** : Oh, no, I hate the game. Hate the people who play it even more!

**Kevin** : Then why did you ask me?

**Dave** : 'Cause I’m just no good at small talk, you \<_BLEEPed for American audiences_\>

Little help on that one?

But my Favorite is the tale of the stray businessman:

**Mark** : NO! N - O spells NO!

**Bruce** : Yes! Y -E- S spells Yes!

**Mark** : Don’t you spell back at me young man!

Thanks, \*\* Tentacle Monster\*\*, I never would have figured that out on my own. I really always quite disliked the Man Show. That particular sketch, however, was very funny!

OMIGOSH! :eek:  
Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson were both 45 this year!  
Bruce McCulloch and Kevin McDonald only got another 18 months to go!  
Dave, the baby of the group, has got until 2008.

Agreed. My favorite Gavin quote is from the butcher shop sketch.

“You know what’s in wieners? Well, there’s cow’s eyes, and dog’s heads, and old phone books, and, of course, _wieeeeener flaaaaaavor_…”

“My pen!” At the time that sketch was on, I worked with a woman who was obsessed with her pen, so that was spot on.

Another long time favorite is when Bruce and Kevin played a husband and wife, respectively, and they were at the end of their meal at a restaurant. He wanted the check five minutes ago and the staff couldn’t make him happy. Quotes:

“I don’t have a problem with the foooood! The food was exquisite!”  
“I shouldn’t be here, I should be 20 minutes away from here!”  
“I’m not unreasonable. I’m a nutty bunny.”  
“I never got my water.”

I also love all the cop sketches, especially the one where they see the suspects in the diner and they all race to finish eating and paying the check, then they both stop for gas, the cops chase them until they are just past “The Border” and stop right at their tail.  
“Well, I guess it’s up to the Feds now.”

I got the DVD for my birthday and I got the free T-Shirt, too! Yay!

My favorite was at the murder scene and they’re standing around when they hear a thumping behind them. They turn to some kids standing around the body and one of the kids is kicking it. They chase off the kids and Mark McKinney says, “No good is gonna come out of that.”

I’m with **spooje** on the campfire murder scene, which I believe was called “To Reg.” If I remember right, this sketch was the final scene of the very first episode. I recall a later bit with children doing a piece of the sketch, and Bruce reminiscing on how young they all were then.

I saw the KITH in New York several years ago, and at the end of the show, they all came back on stage to rap to the audience a bit, and Mark McKinney came out last, holding five beers. Because I can never keep my mouth shut when I should, I involuntarily yelled out “To Reg!!!” and Dave laughed at me. A bright and shining moment in my life, really. 🙂

I used to work in a warehouse and when they hired a Lopez we made his life miserable. 😃

“Screw you taxpayer” is one of my favourite comebacks but rarely does anyone know what I’m talking about.

“You thanked _Hitler_!”

Oh and Dave, who’s ok with “menstration”.

**bienville** , I remember the AIDS list sketch from KITH. After Scott read the list he was back in his dressing room and then Mark appears in his mirror as some gay character.

I’m surprised **Nutty Bunny** hasn’t popped in here yet. That’s one of my favorites, too. “I’m nutty bunny number 3 - the cutest bunny is always me!”

“Odee oten doten day, odee oten day-oh, odee oten doten day, filling out the forms!”

“I have lost my Indian drum!”

“You know Tom? Tom, the bartender?” (No one ever recognizes that one!)

_Daddy Drank_ is a great one. “Hey son, on the way home from work I I bought you a puppy. Then on the way home I got hungry and I ate it! Oh I’m just kidding - I’d never buy you a puppy!” or “Oh son, you didn’t have to get me anything for Chri-- TAP SHOES? You know I can’t dance!”

Gavin I love too. “So I guess you want me to paint your chair, eh?”

Oh and y’all can take the Chicken Lady, she always bugged me.

So what do you guys think of the much maligned movie _Brain Candy_? I have read that even the Boys themselves were rather unhappy with both the production and the finished product. No need for an in-depth analysis, I’m just curious if you think it is good for a few laughs as a rental or something better left unseen.

Whoa…

How can anyone not have mentioned Bruno Puntz Jones or Bellini?

“Leave me alone while I play my game.” (Spins the chamer on his revolver)

Or just Bellini strolling across the screen, an enigmatic smile on his face. Oh, and wearing nothing but a towel. 🙂

One line from Brain Candy that is still guaranteed to get my best friend and I rolling on the floor with laughter - “Cat on my head! Cat on my head!” Bruce wanting to invent a pill that gives worms to ex-girlfriends was pretty funny too.

And the best part, Scott Thompson being brought home naked by the police, with Kevin McDonald as his wife:

It’s not their best work, but it’s worth renting.

Do I get to be first with Romeo of the retirement home? “Dammit Rusty, I’m a senior, not a plaything!”

😃

Another great line was when Scott Thompson bought beer backstage for those teenagers and when they said they didn’t like all the “faggy,” IIRC, stuff on the show, he told them that the CBC required 30% gay content. That was brilliant.
