Dave Foley Tells Us How It's Done

Remember in college when you would conveniently schedule your classes so you'd be back at your dorm room in time to watch the "Kids in the Hall" reruns in the afternoon on your roommate's little white VCR/TV combo that sat on top of the mini-fridge?

Yeah, me too. That was fun.

Here, Dave and the boys explain the ethereal mystery that is the construction of the comedic sketch. Of course, only a third of the KiTH sketches are "typical" sketches. The second third are surrealist, strange, disjointed challenges to the standards of humor, and the final third are songs by Bruce McCullough about everyday objects or guys named Dave. All in all, it's an impressive canon.
