The Kids in the Hall - Complete Season 1 (1988)

If I was on drugs, I might think this show was funny........

I bought this as I heard some great things bout this show, but I just didn't get it. I found the sketches to be immature and not funny at all. just a bunch of pointless gibberish. I watched 4 sketches and then turned it off and threw it away this set is a waste of money. I could do a better job of entertaining people. February 15, 2008

Great show

I got this for a friend for X-mas & he loved it. It has a lot of classic moments in it has a few skits he likes to reference & it was $15.00 cheaper than the others. January 19, 2008

Transcendent

"The Kids in the Hall" played a significant role in the molding of my adolescent psyche. I have fond memories of watching the show, which aired throughout my high-school years, with friends and laughing hysterically, often quoting the show in conversation later.

Flash forward 15 years or so, and I just bought the first season on DVD. As far as I'm concerned, the skits have lost none of their punch over the years. The comedy never really revolved around satirizing current events, the skits were always more of a droll commentary on society in general. So the humor still resonates almost twenty years later: Kathy and Cathy still portray the mundane and backbiting culture of office life, Fran and Gordon are still your quintessential suburban parents, and Buddy Cole is still a brilliant parody of the gay community.

In my opinion, "The Kids in the Hall" is probably the best sketch comedy show of all time. November 28, 2007

Forgot how funny some of these are

I especially liked the Buddy sketches and I LOVED the "Daves I Know" song. I don't ever recall the Buddy Holly sketch and that one alone is almost worth getting this set. Overall, the Kids in the Hall did some great work in this collection, although some of it is unnecessarily gross or simply vulgar. November 6, 2007

3.36?!? BUY IT!

I cant believe that people are selling this set for less then five bucks. I've never seen a show go that low before. The Kids in the Hall is probably the best sketch comedy group since Monty Python. The five guys in Kids in the Hall all have something unique and funny about them. I dont like Mark McKinney to much but I like the rest of the guys. Yes I know I dont like Chicken Lady, Blues Guy, or Im Crushing Your Head Guy. My favorite sketchs on this set are Banker and The Eradicator!. Both star McCulloch and are probably the funniest pieces of comedy ive seen in a long time. I also enjoyed Kevin McDonald in the surprise sketch. Whatever you do, buy this set now! You'll have a good laugh and wont be disappointing shelling out 6 dollars for an amazing set. September 23, 2007
