Ha! That's what did it for me. "Bel Biv Devoe" was what popped in my brain and that's what I used in my googling (that and kids in the hall, of course).Wolter wrote:Side note: for years, I completely forgot about this sketch, but I often would randomly say "Bel Biv Devoe" in that voice, wondering where I picked it up from.Dr. Medulla wrote:Good gravy, I think you're right.Wolter wrote:Is he just reciting Fall lyrics?Dr. Medulla wrote:

Interview with Kevin from KitH: http://www.avclub.com/article/kids-hall ... k-d-242228
I'd love to have a few drinks with him and just listen.

I love that joke—rather, the telling—so much. Larry Miller is superb.

Agreed. His five stages of drinking is great too.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
Certainly not elite Mr. Show, but it works well enough as parody of all those 1980s summer camp shows. Silly more than anything else.

It's a personal favorite just for the incredible gear shift between the two parts and the fact that the parody is so weirdly spot on.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jan 2017, 11:54amCertainly not elite Mr. Show, but it works well enough as parody of all those 1980s summer camp shows.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
Curiosity: Did an old Canadian comedy duo called Wayne and Shuster ever make it into American (or even Limey) consciousness? They were active from the 40s to the 80s, so I don't expect any of the younglings to know them, but I'm curious about the arthritic crowd here. I loved 'em as a kid in the 70s, but their schtick—and it was schtick—hasn't aged well for me. (Frank Shuster, btw, was a cousin of Joe Shuster.)

Also -- Rosie Shuster (important player in early SNL/Lorne Michael's ex-wife) was Frank Shuster's daughter.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Apr 2017, 9:03amCuriosity: Did an old Canadian comedy duo called Wayne and Shuster ever make it into American (or even Limey) consciousness?

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
Huh—didn't know that one. As I understand it, Wayne and Shuster hold the record for most appearances on Ed Sullivan, so really old Americans would know who they were.Inder wrote: ↑10 Apr 2017, 9:21amAlso -- Rosie Shuster (important player in early SNL/Lorne Michael's ex-wife) was Frank Shuster's daughter.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Apr 2017, 9:03amCuriosity: Did an old Canadian comedy duo called Wayne and Shuster ever make it into American (or even Limey) consciousness?
