Trivia
The troupe took their name from a line that comedian Sid Caesar always said after telling a joke: "I got that one from the kids in the hall" (referring to the aspiring joke writers always hanging around outside his office).

Quotes
Gunslinger: I once shot a man just to watch him die. Then I got distracted and missed it.

Crazy credits
During the credits for the last episode, two business men bury the troupe in a grave marked "Kids In The Hall, The TV Show 1989-1995." After, Bellini's music plays and he dances on their grave. It's the Oompah Band music from Daryl's Just-listening-to-the-Band sketch.

One of the Greatest Shows Ever!

Kids in the Hall has always been one of my favorites. I remember once watching a KITH Marathon on TV that ran for something like 12 hours. It was hilarious, and I've often wondered how people could create comedy that was so completely over the edge.

Favorite skits: David Foley as a banker on a blind date with the Chicken Lady (who sounded, for the most part, amazingly normal,) and Kevin McDonald's turns as a cop suffering from terminal demoralization (particularly the one where Foley's character is getting robbed at home and doesn't seem to mind it all that much!)
