Proposed: that “Can you believe I work at a bank?” is the most perfect opening line to any Kids in the Hall sketch ever written, in this life or the next.
Proposed: that “I.e., I gotta wear a tie” is the next best sentence.
Proposed: that Bruce’s haircut in this scene captures a particular type of person and a particular type of attitude more thoroughly than words ever could.
Proposed: that “First thing in the morning, people give me shit. That’s how I know my day’s begun” is the saddest dose of realism ever injected into a comedy sketch.
Additional highlights:
“Sir, were you aware that you were gross?”
“I look at him and it’s like: who would fuck you?”
That brief move Bruce pulls, coupled with “fuck the baaaank” ought to have been a minor hit on the dance charts on the late 80s.
Someday, Bruce will eat pancakes on your grave.
