The Kids in the Hall

They're back! I watched them when I was a kid... like them. Now I'm old... like them. The stripper sketch was painfully realistic (gravity really does a number on the nards).

It's the kids! They're older, cranky and taking full advantage of premium video by being a wee bit dirtier. Hearing their opening theme music makes me so happy.

Thank you for this one, Prime. You brought a smile to my oft cranky face.

If you thought there was a chance these guys would mellow with age, you're sadly mistaken. This is probably the edgiest material the Kids have ever done. Fan favorite characters are back along with all-new over-the-top creations. No one does surreal comedy like these guys. If you're not easily offended and won't fall to pieces over politically incorrect humor, this is for you!

New versions of old hits are always chancy, but these guys have lost none of their comedy skills whatsoever. Except for some physical aging, they're just as effective-and hysterically funny-as they were umpteen years ago.

Loses a point for its "updated" profanity, though. Some people will undoubtedly get their knickers in a twist at this (good) but the Kids don't need F-bombs, graphic language or nudity in their skits. Yeah, it's common these days, yadda yadda, but it's still unnecessary and offensive to a lot of folks. These guys are skilled and plenty funny. They don't have to sink in the sewer to get laughs, as lesser talents do.

Original Canadiana with hints of Monty Python. Hilarious. Ignore the low ratings, put aside your puffy airs and enjoy. "In Oshawa auto workers and strippers are in the same union". Funny as hell. Was never a fan of the originals...30 fricken years ago! Liking this so far. The "last fax" scene is great "I like sleeping with couriers because they come fast"...lol. Lighten up and enjoy.

I laughed. Oddly I was waiting fer 30 Helen's agreed hahaha. I really hope there's more I enjoyed it like the good old days. 8 episodes wasn't enough.
