Kids in the Hall were a Canadian sketch comedy group, consisting of comedians Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson. It was also the name of the group's television show that ran from 1989 to 1994 on CBC, CBS, and HBO. The show's theme song and much of its distinctive transition music was performed by the Canadian surf rock band Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet.The name is taken from The Jack Benny Program. Benny would describe some jokes as coming from "the kids in the hall," referring to a group of young writers hanging around the studio.Though it was produced by Lorne Michaels, who also produced Saturday Night Live, the show's sketches were more reminiscent of the British sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus, for they were often of a quirky or surreal nature, and featured very few celebrity impressions or pop culture parodies. (The only recurring celebrity impression was the Queen of England, played by Scott Thompson.) One sketch featured a flying pig who amused bored people in bank machine lines. A recurring character was a man who pretended to crush people's heads from a distance with his fingers. Another sketch dealt with the musings of two aliens conducting anal probes on humans, wondering "What's the point of it all? Why does the great leader have us do this?" and reflecting that perhaps the great leader was a fetishist and that this dominated their existence. Many of the sketches featured gay characters and themes; most of these sketches starred, and were written by, Scott Thompson (who is openly gay). The show was also notable for reflecting and dealing with the youth subculture of its times, and for incisive sketches about big business and family units.A noted comedy writer for the show was Paul Bellini, who often appeared in sketches with a white towel around his large gut.The show's unique flavor was in the way it traded on the five actors' likeability quotients and acting abilities during sketches in a manner very related to stage performances, and unlike most satirical sketch comedy. Rather than aspire to the skilled impressionism of SCTV or the cultured absurdity of Monty Python, the sketches come across as actors workshop pieces at times - though occasionally written as sharply as either of those shows. The Kids frequently appeared on the show in their real life personas rather than as characters, and many sketches dealt directly with the fact that they were a comedy troupe producing a TV show. An example is one episode in which Kevin McDonald announces that if the next sketch (which he has written) is not successful, the others are considering kicking him out of the group. In another episode, Scott declares that he isn't gay anymore, which throws the other Kids into a panic, as they fear that the news will alienate the troupe's considerable gay fanbase.Monologues were a staple of the show, another semi-rarity in the television sketch comedy world. Though Scott Thompson's Buddy Cole monologues are easily the most famous, the other Kids performed many memorable pieces as well. Prominent examples include Dave Foley describing his positive attitude toward menstruation, Foley describing his life as a truly incompetent doctor who glides through life on charm, McCulloch satirizing American cultural values with a mock-ironic speech praising the American lifestyle, and in a gag reminiscent of Bob Newhart, a distraught McDonald calling a best friend's young son to tell him his father died tragically only to have the child end up consoling him, even going so far as quoting famous philosophers on the ultimate emptiness of life
