Funny sketch comedy that's funny
Endut! Hoch Hech!
I feel that, had he lived, John Lennon would have loved Donkey Kong.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
I should add that the last couple days, I've been doing Mark McKinney's cab driver character and prefacing any racist statements with: "Look, I'm not prejudiced, but I read. And where I come from, some people make trouble."

One thing, touched upon in the article, that I love about SCTV: they didn't pander to the audience. They pandered to their own tastes. If you had told me how much I would laugh at "What's Your Shoe Size" by just describing the sketch, I would think you were insane.
Related note: Eugene Levy's 1950s host voice is pitch perfect. You never hear anyone talk like that anymore.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
We upgraded our tv package last month so I get an episode of SCTV every day. And you're right—they were totally into making themselves laugh. For the most part they were never "edgy," but they were so goddamn good at writing just plain funny sketches. The parodies end up dating them, but for the most part the humour stands up really well.Wolter wrote:One thing, touched upon in the article, that I love about SCTV: they didn't pander to the audience.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
I think having the faith that an audience is smart enough to follow you away from easy comedy towards things they've never realized could be funny is what separates the genius from the mundane.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
Which calls to mind Mitchell Hurwitz's comment about killing your show by not including a laugh track—they won't know what the funny bits are without it! That canned laughter is one thing I hate about the first couple seasons of MASH. Dynamite comedy, but the Laughtronic 9000 is death by a thousand cuts.Wolter wrote:I think having the faith that an audience is smart enough to follow you away from easy comedy towards things they've never realized could be funny is what separates the genius from the mundane.

On weekend mornings my kid gets me out of bed early I crash on the couch while he watches some PBS. Inevitably I have nightmares of some sort while this is blaring in the background.

A good example of Kevin McDonald's great comedic voice. That high-strung exasperation kills me every time.Wolter wrote:I just got reminded of this one this morning and got a hearty belly laugh:

Brilliant, especially if you've seen the earlier sketches with the same character.
