I cannot express enough to you how much the KITH business men sketches have helped me through the existential midlife crisis I've gone through in the past several years of the pandemic. Working from home, zoom meetings in underwear, task tracking spreadsheets, project management Gantt charts. Thank you for the art you created all those years ago... It absolutely helped during the Pandemic 🎉😅😂❤
I was a business major when the Kids in the Hall first came out, and these sketches really spoke to me in that being a businessman was an empty, awful and hollow pursuit. Thanks for helping to confirm my beliefs!
Oh this is perfect timing! "Can I Keep Him?" was the first sketch that truly got me into Kids in the Hall and it's always the sketch I use to introduce people to the show. The way the absurdity of it is played with so much empathy to the characters is really emblematic of the show's sensibility. I love how by the point where Cory has to give Mr. Stevenson back the audience is fully emotionally invested in the emotions of the situation, only for the sketch to pull one final joke with the cooked oatmeal ending. I've heard some people say they don't get that choice, but I think it's a perfect way to have the audience go "that doesn't make sense" before realizing they fully bought into the idea of a business man as a pet which isn't any less weird than cooked oatmeal. The "potatoes and ice" line also gets a laugh every time. Anyway, thank you so much for coming to the Mouth Congress show last night, it was great getting to hang out with you while working the door and I look forward to talking again soon!
I wanted to say that Bruce McCulloch appeared in a dream I had recently but I can't afford to pay for that cameo so I'll have to say it was a Bruce McCulloch impersonator that haunted my nightly vision. This impostor, this doppelganger, this simulacrum, much like the real Bruce, would not acknowledge my existence which makes me think that maybe I was in Bruce's dream...
This sketch was covered by US news when I was a kid. It was the example of how far you take the concepts. Moral panic. You should wear it with a badge of honor.

I love these stories, keep them coming!

“Business Stuff” fuck that’s funny 😂😂😂
This one is my favorite Bruce!
Hoping you can cover the first skit I saw that made me fall in love with KITH: "Reg"
❤❤❤
The 'potatoes and ice' analogy always stuck with me from this sketch - thank you dear Brucio!
crack crack crack. LOL
Carrying around a briefcase with "business stuff" written on it sounds like a great way to get followed around by drug enforcement agents.

I'd love to hear about sketches that you and Mark wrote while at SNL that made it to air.
The sketch that introduced me to The Kids!
this is one of my fav sketches in the show ! :)
See..this is what I signed up for! #QuakerOatsApproveD! 😂
Oh god! I did journalism and then business. I went in thinking the world would make more sense. I came out thinking it’s even weirder than I thought.
The world only makes sense if you force it to.

Sorry about that, Bruce. I'll try to respect your unconscious boundaries better in the future.
TAXI!
Can you do a video on “Chad’s 13th Birthday” please. It’s my mailman Stu’s favorite sketch.
Would you be able to explain the backstory of the Love and Sausages skit from season 4?
