Actually, I think it is a parody of the American Gothic style of theater, like what Sam Shepherd writes - Buried Child especially. Sorry to sound like a theater nerd :). I worked on Buried Child in college as an assistant stage manager, and this sketch made me laugh really hard.
Oh god, I remember watching this in high school. I still don't know what the fuck is going on except that this is extremely incestuous and that Amy Sedaris is amazing. Oh Drifter, looks like you've taught everyone in that room how to rope a steer.
Is there a DVD of this show? I was only 6 or 7 when it was on tv, and now that comedy central's playing Strangers With Candy again, I'm in love with the Colbert/Dinello/Sedaris team.
lily may's not the only one who learned how to rope a steer yesterday.. IS SHE HAL?!

@skirch01 Man, that play. I was in that play in freshman year of highschool- at least it wasn't as graphic as this...

Like most of Exit 57, this clip makes ZERO sense, and yet is still pretty funny. I think Stephen looks pretty good here.
