[MrNINTENDOJOE]

one of my favs

[pathtoyirah]

MACHINE? WE'RE CRAFTSMEN!

[imcrushingyourhead7]

1:48 Mark his showing off his muscles!! he is so sexi XD

[imcrushingyourhead7]

I <3 you Mark ;D

[hafabee]

Pure gold.

[BeeHerman]

"Not more orders!" They put up a fuss about losing their jobs, but they weren't exactly happy there.

[Talloweed]

This is the essence of funny.

[DANNIstarshine]

"This is progress!"

[jacksplat]

I just saw this on TV and realized something: Scott looks an awful lot like Vince McMahon in this sketch.

[Pwnzor729]

@jacksplat Scott looks like everyone, how does he do it? Seriously he has to be the most malleable face in terms of being able to look like anybody.

[heliogabalus227]

A sacka dead troooouut...

[thunderscratch66]

wow... it looks like where they shot the album cover for pink floyd animals.

[Capng123]

Why do I find it so amusing that the union boss is a kid with an eye-patch?

[AnonymousComrade]

Haha 'The Union' LOL

[tingwananapar]

this is genius!

[chronicleone]

This is the parody of The Twilight Zone's 1964 classic episode "The Brain Center at Whipple's" A heartless CEO completely automates his factory and lays off almost all of his workers over the objections of his employees but he too soon gets replaced. Directed by Richard Donner Writen by Rod Serling (creator), Rod Serling And stars Richard Deacon, Paul Newlan and Ted de Corsia Original Air Date: 15 May 1964 runtime: 25 minutes

[brandydeshayzer]

@chronicleone: Wow, I never knew that. Thanks for the education. I've never seen that Zone episode. The guys had a rule against parody because they said that was SCTVs territory. I guess they made an exception in this case. It's really an homage. It makes total sense too. This sketch is very funny but it does have a creepy quality about it.

[Phoenix87x]

Reminds me of my union :(

[MrEllenwork]

Yup that's work!

[bastlake]

God bless whoever approved the budget for this sketch

[calixa]

@bastlake

NO SHIT!!! awesome

[indigocrush]

Tina Yothers!  Nice reference.

[Zappafan5150]

GOD IN HEAVEN

THIS IS PROGRESS!!??

[nachobajo]

my favorite sketch, is so intelligent and funny, it looks absurd, but if you think for a second, its brillant, intelligent, and close to the reality

[broadwaymelody33]

I am forever grateful that we got CBC in Michigan. This was my favorite sketch :D

[EMMETTRALF]

"The Union"

[SocialDemocracy4EVER]

God damn Fr.ee Trade

[riseagainphoenix]

The best thing about KitH sketches is that they start out being about something weird and funny, but at the very end veer WILDLY OFF TRACK to become about something ten times weirder (and therefore funnier).

[Alexsteen]

lmao. its sooooooooooooooooo good.

[theMAG101]

eight hours in the position looks like it would KILL your back lol.

[GoldenGhettoFilms]

im reading the grapes of wrath right now... this resonates true

[miguel1nh0]

there's a reference i don't get: Tina who? used to be just a little girl...

[Taranchula]

Tina Yothers, who played the youngest daughter on the 80's sitcom "Family Ties"

[Rolandzebub]

"God in heaven, this is Progress?!"

[goose1212343]

such is the plight of the proletariat.

[lilanneelise]

best Kids in the Hall sketch... ever.

[Scorpion14]

That is perhaps the best representation of what a union really looks like that Ive seen in a TV show.

[DaigoMoustache]

Mmmm, Mark was so hot back in the day.

I love this sketch!

[vigo894]

Do you think all those CEOs will be replaced by machines too?

Do not plug in Skynet.

[badbabybear1]

funny satire about workplace politics

[shota777]

Oh man, wasn't expecting THAT ending haha

[beersgood7]

Who makes a funnier boss, dave or scott? I've always been torn on that question. Anyway, this sketch has always been one of my favorites.

[tripledoubleone]

You would think that "arms in a vat of dead fish" would be the one recession-proof industry.

[Ellidegg]

lolz this will always be one of my favorites <3

[Saladin01]

"Good god in heaven! This is PROGRESS!?"

XD Hilarious skit.

[zapproowsdower]

"This is all we know!"

"This is what we aaare!"

[EcoFashionWorld]

0:55- 1:03 may be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[ClownUnit02]

I think they were writing this skit as they thought it up.

[madpop17]

haha wut

[depant77]

"...it was the union that sold you out."

Yep, that's about the best you can expect from a union.

[ignigknogt]

lol totally agree ..just look at GM, they would rather pay a retired employee more money than most of us will make in our lives, than hire workers, because they union doesnt care if people are working, they just want to be sure the few that are, are making $80 an hour to push a button all day , regardless if the company can afford it or not. once the unions go, american companies will prosper again.

[jimbobklyn1963]

your ignorance is palpable. obviously you have had the kool aid.

[goose1212343]

@ignigknogt fuck you cappitalist swine.

[ignigknogt]

im proud to say im not in a union. i still got health care and i get bonuses and i do alright. i dont have politicians hounding my ass to hold signs for them at rallies or else face fear of being fired or revoked of privileges at my place of employment.

[TheEvolver311]

you don't have to do those things just because you are a member of a union, and you only get any of those extra's healthcare,bonuses, etc.. because unions fought for them. unions are good.

[TheEvolver311]

the myth of the unions ruined american auto/electronics, GM started failing not because of the union requests but because they continued to make subpar products that no americans wanted for about 25-30yrs if your making junk for that long you deserve to fail.

[ignigknogt]

ill agree with that. im not a fan of domestic vehicles. ive owned enough of what they call "cars" to know that they arent reliable past 3 years, they never get their EPA estimate mileage and they deliver horrible horsepower per liter performance. my place of employment offers those extras cause i work for a man in a very small machine shop who believes that people deserve those things cause he never got them before he became his own boss. ps. i like the name, huge 311 fan.

[ngroschen]

You've got to remember that with meeting the union's demands, they ended up having to sacrifice a fair bit of quality in order to keep competitive. Mostly-untrained workers were getting ~$40 an hour for putting speakers in doors. They really couldn't keep up with other companies like Toyota who were turning out really good stuff with appealing prices.

Fun fact: General Motors is/was the largest private purchaser of Viagra, because recreational drugs like Viagra are covered by the pensions.

[teri433]

We can't be replaced by a machine - we're craftsmen!

[teri433]

My grandfather started this company 96 years ago with nothing but a bible, a sack of dead trout, and one other thing - a belief in people. If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that my grandfather was wrong. Boys, you're laid off.

[goose1212343]

hmmmmm i should get into that buisness, it seems profitable

[turcoyousuck]

someone please tell me what the name of the song is

[turcoyousuck]

oh its the song from the "america" sketch, no wonder i knew it from somewhere

[dumontagne7]

I wonder if this a union job?

[sisyphusorianus9787]

Does anybody here ever get the vibe that KITH skits have some creepy ersatz David Lynch-style f-ed up-ness?

[cheesecake134]

Well, Bruce is definitely in love with David Lynch. He even has a song called "Eraserhead" on Shame Based Man. And just look at Sausages.

[cheesecake134]

GOD IN HEAVEN! THIS IS PROGRESS!!!!!

[SonofMrPeanut]

A story as old as man...

[rtsoccerplayer]

hahaha the hamster powering the robot was funny

[Italianiceisnice]

lol, yeah! Only that was a mouse, hehe

[suexian]

Brilliant.

[spaten2000]

...a sack'o dead TROUT!!!!

awesome!

[fosenteskotia]

That sentimental guitar part ended up on Bruce's Shame-Based Man album.. That song about America - a place for Americans.

[fosenteskotia]

I REALLY WANT THIS JOB

[Aginor27]

anyone have that one where they're working in an assembly line and then kevin gets hit with something and becomes deformed.

[lennybrickz1]

wat year was they on....

[Aginor27]

1990-1995

[fosenteskotia]

i think it was 89

[jefarr85]

The kids in the hall got together in 1984 and their show was from 1989 to 1994.;).They recently got together and are touring in Canada and United States.

[WorshipInTruth]

For some reason this reminds me of every job iv ever had.

[sorehand1978]

This is PROGRESS? haha

[XVI09]

I laughed when the dude came in, picked up the live fish and slapped it.

[albee1000]

When Ralph Nader becomes president (a shoe-in, judging by the numbers), he's going to bring human-based arms-in-a-vat-full-of-dead-fis­h back to Canada. Just you wait!

[Chrishankhah]

That comment makes just as much sense as the occupation ...

I love it. XD

[pimp2day333]

omg that made so much since i allmost need to write it down

[ngobleus]

Rofl it's moments like this that cause communist revolutions in some parts of the world.

[Cojir0]

WHY TECHNOLOGY! WHYYYY!

[YamadaEntertainment]

"the fish shifted. he got pulled in right there! that's gotta be worth something?!"

"..no, not really."

lol so funny

[robinmod]

awsome! i just LOVE kith!!

[lairdda1]

"This is all we know." 'It's what we are!!!" LOL!! These guys were so funny.

[DCsamma]

This sketch is so funny. It's funny because it doesn't make much sense. It's also hilarious when they freak out because a fish is alive.

[ArchieAA]

wow you missed the spirit of the sketch completely, Didn't make much sense? Thats all this sketch did.

[PsionicSoldiersss]

way to not catch what the meaning of the sketch is, buddy! its about how machines replaced people in the work place! the joke is that the people who run the whole thing are machines themselves and thats why they replaced everyone. now i garuantee that you will read this and leave some retarded comment that is supposed to make me look dumb. well for the sake of being an evolved human being... don't!

[TomYawns]

DUMBO!

[radiofan6872]

Ah, it's just like taking a look at my hometown. I can't believe it's not General Motors.

KITH > GM

[rolandinthecaves]

My job is even more pointless than this. True.

[maartendas]

"This is progress?!!" :):):)

[Dibsthe1]

Silly as hell, but the more I see of this, the more sense it makes.

[bluebettle]

I think it makes more sense than it first seems like it does. They're doing the Monty-Python thing of showing how absurd everyday life is by replacing normal with the ridiculous.

[BaconMinion]

The Union: a drunk, a spastic child and a woman playing cards.

[BaconMinion]

Counting money, rather.

[citizenanna]

lol. . . "There've been complaints."

[Shotgunnova]

Nicely done!
