What's the name of that sketch with the dude who had a list of things to do in the day and wouldn't divert from the path even if he was held hostage by bank robbers?
- On the DVD and most episode guides, it's listed as "Things To Do".Raymondluxuryacht 03:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
This really needs cleanup. The opening section is too long and should be divided into a few more sections, such as history and style of comedy. ReverendG 00:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
IS THIS A radio comedy or Tv? if so in the List of Comedies it should go in the TV section. - fonzy
According to the offical Kids in the Hall website, their troupe name comes from Jack Benny, not Steve Allen.
My longtime-question is, who is the actress who played the, "It's A Fact" girl? :-o

[edit] Adding the King of Empty Promises to Infamous Sketches?
What is the consensus on this sketches popularity? Is it well known enough to make it into the list?--68.206.175.114 00:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's as valid as any on the list. It's easily recognizable and (IMHO) one of Kevin's funniest bits. --Happylobster 20:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- It definitely ranks as one of the troupe's most popular sketches. There was a follow-up sketch (which features Kevin's character in prison) which should be mentioned as well.Raymondluxuryacht 03:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adding the Fuzzy Bunny sketch to Infamous Sketches
I'm not even sure whether it's Fuzzy Bunny or Fluffy Bunny, but there is a recurring theme on one episode--three or four members of the cast are in bunny suits and speak in rhyme. Later it is revealed that they are actually drunk college students. Everybody I know loves this one.
- Nutty bunnies, mate. They're nutty bunnies. --Happylobster 21:17, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Business Men...
Shouldn't there be a section on here about business men? I recall these guys were constantly making fun of the concepts of yuppies and business people...great stuff.
[edit] TVRage.com Link
I added a link to TVRage.com's page for the show. The place has an actual episode guide, which is more than I can say for the rest of the links posted at the bottom. It also has dates, sketch information, and a number of other sources of info that the others do not have. This is not an ad site, this is an actual guide to the show. If you bothered to check it and not just delete it on the fly Cleduc, you'd see that. If you're going to list IMDb and it's horrible excuse for a guide, then TVRage gets to stay.

- No spam and external linking to websites, especially ones where you have an obvious personal stake. See WP:SPAM and WP:EL. --Madchester 17:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removing Infamous Sketches
Was that really necessary? I don't think it was particularly "long-winded", although I would've removed "the Soaking Competition" and "Sixth Kid in the Hall." - BNLfan53, Saturday, 2006-11-04 T 14:54 UTC
- I think the move could be supported easily. Wikipedia is about verifiability, so by whose standards are they infamous? With no way of objectively deciding if a sketch was "infamous" or not, the list was growing as everyone's own personal "infamous sketch" got added to the list. This could be re-added, but only after some means of objectively deciding if a sketch should be added or not is determined. - Vedexent (talk) - 16:16, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

- I do think there should be a listing of notable sketches outside those featuring recurring characters, simply for completeness's sake. As for what criteria to use to determine notability... that might be trickier. We might try drawing from the sketches included on the seasonal "best-of" releases. Those episodes have commentary from the Kids themselves, so we might glean from their comments which sketches they feel are noteworthy. We could also look up critical reviews of the show, or perhaps check for fan polls.Raymondluxuryacht 17:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
