Kids In The Hall Monday: Bank People
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.

God, it's the moments when you hear your own interior monologue spoken aloud in the sketches.
“fuck the baaaank” ought to have been a minor hit on the dance charts on the late 80s.

If this was broadcast today there would be a 3 minute autotuned version on Soundcloud within hours.
Now I can't wait for someone to piss me off, just so I can tell them, "I'll eat pancakes on your grave!"
This is my very favorite KITH performance!! I've been waiting for this post. "Did you know that your checks smelt? I look at him and It's like, who would fuck you??" I mean Bruce's deliveries are perfect throughout.
Do you get the feeling that if they could swear on SNL it would be garbage; Kids in the Hall deploy it so well.

Replace "bank" with pretty much any workplace name, and in absolute majority of cases, satire would still hold.
Oh my god, no wonder they're all doing cocaine.
My god, his hair is perfect.
