KITH References are Wasted on the Young

In order to make ends meet, I’ve taken a job at a local retailer (think red shirts and khaki pants) as an early morning stocker.

I’m in the aisle unpacking boxes of feminine napkins, and the boss comes by and jokingly asks me if I have any problems working with Kotex all day.

I just look at him, smile, and say “No sir, I’m the guy with a good attitude towards menstruation.”

Coulda heard a pin drop.

Today’s youth … no appreciation for the classics.

It’s wasted on me as well. I don’t even know what KITH stands for (and I’m 53).

The only KITH I know about is paired with KIN. And I’m 69.

KITH??

Wasn’t that that 70’s rock band that wore the makeup that covered their faces and the outfits?

I didn’t immediately know what KITH stood for either but then I realized it is probably The Kids in the Hall (the Canadian sketch comedy show). It is still one of my favorites.

Here is the menstruation bit. It isn’t my favorite sketch of theirs but it gives the general flavor of the show. I am more up a head crusher myself.

No, that was their gay cover band.

“I’m not here to make friends” “Oh you haven’t! You haven’t.”
“I’m the Cincinatti Kid!”
“Citizen Kane! It’s Citizen Kane!”
“I’m a bad doctor.”
“These are the Daves I know, I know.”

I’m crushing your head!

Sometimes, as I’m leaving work, I’ll say “I’m Doug, forget it, I’m outta heeeere”. But I’ll give you that even for KITH fans, it’s a bit obscure and even I forget about it unless I was recently watching clips.

But, yes, most people under 30 have no idea who KITH are. As I said in another thread a while back I think The Whitest Kids You Know (WKUK) have done an amazing job or filling their niche though.

Even Bruce McCulloch is in the library reference section wondering what KITH is.

Eeeeradicator!

If you don’t watch KITH, this is gonna happen to you!

“If I were a shaman, I wouldn’t be so competitive.”

It’s Mike Tyson’s favorite rock band. At least, that’s what I ascertain…

See, I’d have guessed King of the Hill, so I’m glad you posted the information.

I wish I were I lesbian. They get so much done in a day.

Stinky pink!

It’s that damn salty bloody ham!

My bread…it pooped in my bread!

Citizen Kane! It was Citizen Kane!

One of my favorites;

"Ah, I see by the expression on your face that you're confused by my statement. Perhaps you doubt its veracity but let me assure you, I speak not a word of English."

I’m also a big fan of the Chicken Lady sketches.

“Who?”

“Yes, Hu is the man on first base.”

“Why’re you asking me? I’m asking you! What’s the name of the guy on first base?”

“No, no; Watt is on – oh, I see what your problem is! Look, you’re confused by their names, because they all sound like questions!”

That would be KOTH, not KITH.
