Summary
Reviewers say 'Kids in the Hall' revival elicits mixed reactions. Fans relish the return of classic characters and edgy humor, noting improved production values.

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.
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.

A little more riské, still really silly and makes me laugh out loud. The nudity was shocking but hysterical! Love that this is allowed on Amazon.
Proud of the creativity of this Canadian group!

I remember the show in the 90s. I remember seeing them on tour in the 2000s and I was surprised how happy I was to see them back.
It's rude, it's bizarre but it's authentic Canadian humour and I missed it terribly.
The Shakespeare sketch hits on so many levels you have to see it to believe it.

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.
