He seemed to annoy me at times more than the others but I loved him too. And Buddy should have been retired long before the end of the run. These things. I abhor the chicken lady, and I think Kevin is there more for shock effect (suprise!), but Buddy lasted waay too long. I watched a lot of it years later and thought, wow, a LOT of that was REALLY gay. Yet “Running faggot” was not in the episode it aired in. ---

Scott. Well, that was remarkably easy. :looks at poll results: Why are you being so mean to poor Kevin!? ---

Dave? You don’t kill off the guy who had the most mainstream success (News Radio anyone?) ---

I voted Kevin, because he had the most annoying voice and was the least convincing in drag. Chicken Lady was horrible, but Crushing Your Head makes up for it. Buddy was fairly horrible, but the episode with Buddy’s softball uniform, with the sparklers and the clear vinyl nipple covers justifies the character’s existence, and Scott played the best Queen of England possibly ever. ---

Circa 1990?? I can’t do it. Kill me instead. Okay, kill Kevin. But tell him I offered to die in his place and you wouldn’t let me. Yeah that’s the ticket. ---

I can’t kill Dave or Kevin - the others are fair game, depending on my mood that day. So I voted for Bruce, since he’s already got his suicide novel done. ---

> [@August\_West](#): > > That, and he has a good attitude toward menstruation. And you said you liked his hair, sir. I chose Scott, not because he’s less funny, but he just didn’t seem to “cohese” as well with the other four. They all dovetailed really well, and he felt slightly outside, to me. ---

They all dovetailed really well, and he felt slightly outside, to me. As I understand it, Dave/Kevin and Bruce/Mark had been working comedy duos when they, plus Scott, formed KITH. You can see the duos in a number of recurring bits like Dave and Kevin in “Pit of Ultimate Darkness”, “Sizzler Sisters” and the “Nobody Likes Us” guys; and Bruce and Mark in “Sleazy Salesmen” and “Police Department”. Scott’s main recurring bit was the “Buddy” monologues. ---

Bruce, easily. I might have picked Kevin if I had never seen those awful flying pig skits. Since I have… Bruce. That pig dwarfs his other work on the show, to me, and not in a good way. ---

Bruce, mostly for [Gavin.](http://nerdist.com/gavin-reports-a-leak-on-the-kids-in-the-hall/) But let’s not forget the [Flying Pig.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8b9EckGPx0) And if that’s not enough to convince you, here’s [A Little Something](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ETZP0imlP8&list=PL50ES6kdXyIkPkNo00hizC5AnYC5Anprh) that will. hork! Yes, for these and other crimes I sentence him to death. A close second goes to the Chicken Lady. . . ---

It came down to Kevin or Mark for me. I flipped a coin and Kevin lost, even though I never put salt in my eyes thanks to him.
