“Tell me Jacques, do you think this soup can really bring about world peace?”
“No, Francois. It is pea soup. Not peace soup.”
“Jacques, you won’t tell anyone what I thought about the soup, would you?”
I almost registered here under the name “Lanky Dean.” Maybe I’ll change it.
I’m also rather partial to the scam artist sketches:
“How many of you have had the experience of living in a trailer park that exploded… okay, all of you.”
Dave, sitting at a piano, singing and hitting keys at random:
“I…! Don’tknowhowtoplaythepiano!
I never took the time to learn…”
That and “No Hecubus, no checkubus” are among my favourite bits. I was actually disappointed by their live post-series stage show, since it was for the most part word-for-word recaps of their various sketches, almost all of which I’d already seen.
“You promise??”
“Will do.”
You guys are reminding me of sooo many good ones. I adored the tea sketch. “Give me some tea, you bastard, before I kick the crap out of you.”
“Okay, I’ll get you some tea.”
“Chamomile.” hard look
“you bastard.”
And when Dave, at a party, is asked if he knows who the Beatles are, and claims he doesn’t have a clue, and was locked up for years and was only getting out into the world now… And now Bruce McCulloch with an open letter to the guy that stole his bike wheel.
Bruce: Well, why did you do it? Are you some sort of jerk or something? It’s my front wheel! What did you think, that I’d drive home and not notice it was stolen?
The runner-up for my All-Time Favorite
“We are gathered here today under the presence of God, that fat black lesbian in the sky.”
My All-Time Favorite:
“You went on stage and read the names of all the gay men you knew who had died of AIDS and you forgot to mention me. And I’ve been up here telling everyone how I knew you and you didn’t even mention me. Now they’re all teasing me, saying that I died of Cancer.”
HELP! HELP! WAS THIS A KIDS IN THE HALL SKETCH???
A friend* and I loved a sketch that we believed to be a Mr. Show sketch. But I’ve just recently completed the Mr. Show DVD Library and the sketch does not appear. Now we’re wondering if maybe it was a Kids in the Hall sketch:
It involved an insurance service which, in the even of your death, will rush to your home and hide all of your Porn and Drug Paraphenalia.
Was this KITH?
*This friend has a daughter who, for the first two years of her life, was referred to as “Babyservant Hecubus”.
I recall seeing that skit somewhere, but I ma 99% sure that it wasn’t KITH. I even searched the KITHFan script archive, and I got no positive hits. I was just thinking about that skit the other day in the shower for some reason too. Odd.
Mark McKinney getting dressed in the morning and listening to his answering machine, and they’re all from people complimenting him on how good he is in bed. My favorite:
“Hello, Mr. Smith? This is your bank. We regret to inform you that your account is overdrawn by $500 dollars. We’re going to need you to make a deposit as soon as possible. However, in lieu of a deposit, we will accept sex, as we understand you’re very, very good.”
And then at the end, he pulls the front of his pants out and a ray of golden sunlight shoots out.
It’s hard to pick a best. Two of my favorites are the “Bikini Inspector” monologue by Bruce, and Bruce & Dave’s dueling monologs where Bruce is the rocker kid paying homage to Rock, then Dave gives a great monologue to Jazz.
There’s a skit that I love but I can only describe it, which will make it unfunny. A man (Scott Thompson IIRC) is called in for a meeting with his boss. They are in business suits in a typical office. Boss is Dave Foley. Anyway, it comes out that Scott Thompson, a highly placed executive with the company, used to be a porn star, a fact which he is covering up. Dave Foley has found out about it. So he fires Scott Thompson. But since multinational conglomerate X owns company Y which has a majority share of corporation Z which has a holding in studio A, which made the movies, he rehires him in his old porn star persona.
The only quote I remember is Dave Foley explaining to Scott Thompson that in order to get rehired, he needed to inspect the merchandise. Which led to the only line I remember out of the skit, and my favorite line from KITH:
“It’s not a flag, man! You can let it touch the floor!”

And we are, as you can see, two lounge singers, and not two clearly insane people!
