Kids In The Hall was no where near "dumb stupid old work" It was some the most genius comedic sketches ever. The flying pig at the ATM machine was by far my favorite :D
I loved these sketches! In college, I made a Rod Torfelson’s Armada, featuring Herman Menderchuck t-shirt by simply writing it on a white t-shirt with a permanent marker. I think people don’t bring it up because there was no “star” of those sketches. It wasn’t like Gavin + a straight man. It was a true ensemble piece.
Armada's version of "The Camera Man" is still an earworm for me to this day. Thanks for giving us more back story, and for that great Black Crowes story!
Thanks for posting these, Bruce. You were my favorite guy on this show. ..just Classic. I graduated high school in 93 and it was perfect timing for my age. My younger wife was homeschooled and as a treat her mom let her and her siblings watch KITH during lunch. Ha
This is probably my favorite bit from the show. I guess I always found it so funny because we've all known guys like that. I'm glad you remembered this one.
Speaking for myself, the Armada sketches were always one of my favorites! I've even used variations of "Rod Torfulson's Armada feat. Herman Menderchuck" as a username before
best ever skit ... reminded the time when when i played sax and keyboard in a band which had driven from north york to orangeville to play a pig roast . but the keyboards lost all sound as the guitarist needed to confiscate the keyboard's patch cord. I made up for it by profuseley shredding all my Charlie Parker jazz alto licks over the metal blues. The 'showing up having have eaten' to rehearsals' is a lament that still resonates as i enter my 5th decade as a musician. U guys should do a feature film based on Armada making a grand come back - opening a tour at the Rivoli and get Hysterical Women to open... Long live Armada
You are a true gem Brucie. I used to watch you and the boys on Comedy Central in the 90's when i was a young dad. My wife at the time thought i was an idiot for watching the show and well, we've been divorced for over 26 years now. I dont miss her. BUT I do miss KITH! So I watch the old episodes all the time on YT, and reminisce fondly of my youth. Thank you guys for still being as poignant and true to form. I am forever thankful.
I love that final Armada sketch so much, like the rest of the sketches in that original finale it was such a great note to end the original series on. Now that I've spent some time around the Kids in the Hall (well, just half of you, but I'm sure I'll get the other half soon!) one of my favorite things to observe is this kind of "Do we make it?" energy that never went away. Yes in the sketch it's played as these kids being delusional and yes it can lead to infighting, but the sentiment behind it is the idea that whatever you make next is going to be really worth something and has the potential to reach millions of people. Maybe it's just because I'm a delusional "Do we make it?" creative myself, but I much prefer that attitude to people who assume the answer is no before they even start. Anyway, sorry to philosophize about a sketch in your comments section again. Hope you're having a good day and I look forward to whatever sketch you talk about next!
Still remark "having eaten" with my best friend when we make plans 😂 You guyz always nailed it. I’m not on Ama$on but i may sign up for a bit just to catch your recent show.
I saw RFAfHM recently at the Cobourg Fair. Bunch a old guys just relivin' the past. No new songs, kinda coastin' on their old hits. So ya, I think they made it.
I was young enough when I watched these sketches, the first time, that I tried to use them to learn life lessons. I didn’t want anyone to take advantage of me and I always wanted to negotiate fair deals ... Then got married. Broad comedy.
Brucio (unknowingly) "trolling" the Black Crowes in their Own hometown no less, then becoming good friends and co-starring with the great rock giants Rod Torfulson's Armada feat. Herman Menderchuk is the most kismet combo in rock history!! #WaitingForSequel 😎
Bruce, my love, still waiting for the story behind "my hands, my penis! (they move and they shine)," and also.... "don't EVER laugh at my car (life's a pretty sweet fruit)" Two of my favorites! Sorry, I never know what the sketches are actually called. ❤ 🙏 Love ya!
BRUCE help me remeber stuff.... KITH skit. its you or Dave think its you, the skit follows this kid and the whole town is on his ass about everything. skit ends with the kid walking to this biker and hopping on the back ov the bike and saying 'what they dont know is me and G-D are like THIS" then the Harley revs up and the kids in the hall music plays. i THINK it was a cold open. been watching a lot of your stuff and haven't run into it again.
Rod Torfulson's Armada featuring Herman Menderchuk 4 lyfe!!1!
Thr 90's should just play over and over again in a continuous loop
I've been in many creative situations that caused me to remember this sketch over the years . Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
That’s the best fucking T-shirt and everyone who wears it becomes fucking cool as hell.
I need to know about the bicycle tire theft!
Me too!

ARMADA! 🏴☠️😎🤘🏼
Did they ever make it?
into my heart 😊

Love these clips, please do sausages
Every time I make sausages I say it like Scott did, over and over.
I love this sketch, I rewatch it fairly often.
Please, please keep making these!
Potato Salad is next level, a slightly disturbed and wonderful gem. Any stories?
I need to know all about Myra!
These stories are a real gift. Thanks for caring enough to share.
And introducing The Dudettes!
It’s one of my favorite sketches!
I'm a retired woman in TX, so it's safe to say, I know a little bit about the music industry, and ARMADA rocks.

I loved the Armada sketches 😁😊
Loved those sketches!!!!!! So based on reality, written and done very well.
Speaking for myself, the Armada sketches were always one of my favorites!
I've even used variations of "Rod Torfulson's Armada feat. Herman Menderchuck" as a username before
I like the story from a previous video about 'arrived having eaten' hahaha. I remember that part of this sketch so well!
unforgettable sketch. love it.
best ever skit ... reminded the time when when i played sax and keyboard in a band which had driven from north york to orangeville to play a pig roast .
but the keyboards lost all sound as the guitarist needed to confiscate the keyboard's patch cord. I made up for it by profuseley shredding all my Charlie Parker jazz alto licks over the metal blues.

Would love to hear the back story on the 'You lost me..." character!!
One of my absolute favorite sketches from KITH. Thanks
The Kennedy bust in the background epic.
It's a real treat to find this channel. Thanks for the years.

I love when a band can take a joke
Thanks for all your stories Bruce. Makes me love y'all even more. 💜 From deana
The Armada sketches were always up there in my favourite sketches.
I did not realize that was Chris Robinson of the Black Crows playing the angel, I thought it was some actor you knew.
Great sketches
the only channel I have notifications on for!! It was so nice to meet you in Calgary!
I saw RFAfHM recently at the Cobourg Fair. Bunch a old guys just relivin' the past. No new songs, kinda coastin' on their old hits. So ya, I think they made it.
Broo your hella talented I really enjoy your work. Loved that armada sketch. Reminds me of my buddies band 😂
I did. they are so good. and the one with the devil garage rock off.
I have the t shirt. i love all your work, but especially this. Lopez also
Love these videos.
Bruce, could you please do a Remembers Stuff about how you learned bass and your experience playing music for the Bass Player sketch on KITH?
So cool!!!
I was young enough when I watched these sketches, the first time, that I tried to use them to learn life lessons. I didn’t want anyone to take advantage of me and I always wanted to negotiate fair deals ... Then got married. Broad comedy.
I'd love to hear about the Love and Sausages skit
The real question here is where the heck are those white leather angel wings now?!!
I really thought that adding those two girls was going to help the band really take off.
underated sketch. Trampoline girl shouls have been released on a cassingle.
Brucio, will you please tell me more about the “ya lost me” guy who knows what bowling is? I must know what inspired this character.
How about “Big Bucks”? I’d like to hear about that sketch. Pretty please with sugar on top!

I can't believe they never made it.
Man, being young was awesome with your show as the backdrop😊
the bust of JFK in black face
I realize the focus is on kids in the hall sketches, but goddamn I wanna hear all about Stealing Harvard

wow, did kevin really write the songs for the other sketches?? i didn't have him pegged as the musical type
he actually currently has an original rock opera that he's performing in NYC right now!
He is great! They all are😍😍😍😍😍
But.. do they MAKE IT??
BRUCE help me remeber stuff.... KITH skit. its you or Dave think its you, the skit follows this kid and the whole town is on his ass about everything. skit ends with the kid walking to this biker and hopping on the back ov the bike and saying 'what they dont know is me and G-D are like THIS" then the Harley revs up and the kids in the hall music plays.
i THINK it was a cold open. been watching a lot of your stuff and haven't run into it again.
The rule was arrived having eaten
Loved this sketch. Typical father character…thinks he’s an expert in The Music “Industry “. 😂
i thought you were workpig?!
Brucio, I’d like to know about your missing front bicycle tire.
