Even 18+ years on, I still love this sketch. -- BTW: The Vacant Lot lasted all of 6 episodes, and the Kids in the Hall made it only 5 years... Yet SNL is still going after *37 boring years*. Lesson: Americans don't appreciate quality, they find comfort in mediocrity. It's a nation of "C-" students. ...and yes, I'm an American. Born and raised on the west coast. ;)
Funny -- saw this sketch, once, 17 years ago, but could still hear the song in my head even now. Happy to see I wasn't the ONLY person who liked Vacant Lot, but sure seemed like it.
Indeed! The Vacant Lot was and is brilliant! Problem is it is too good, too intelligent, and too demented. American networks are just as bad at showing poor quality shows like Desperate Housewives and American Idol. I love the music of Barnes & Barnes (Art & Artie Barnes), but as good as they are, they will likely never be popular either. The general pulic has no taste for talent or art. They are too busy listening to no-talents like like 'Lady Gaga' or the 'Black Eye Peas'.
i cant believe that you have this! I was just telling a friend about this song because something similar happened to me and i face planted into the wall reaching for clothes...ya...i failed haha
I can't believe that this show only ran for six episodes, CBC executives are as dumb as they come, this show had so much potential, yet they would advertise and play shows that had no comedic value like This Hr Has 22 Min, and Royal Canadian Air Farce. Having Lorne Micheals on the credits alone spelled hit, I know it wont happen but I would to see these guys get back together and try the show again, espiecally with the crap on cbc now, at least back than they had the KITH.
Wow this was back in the day when Comedy Central used to put out funny shows instead of the painfully awkward, humiliating and unfunny shit that permeates the channel.
I started watching this show in Comedy Central Withing just one episode It became my favorite show It's so hilarious and weird A lot like Kids In The Hall or Monty Python, or a show that now on HBO called Little Britain USA. None of these shows are from the USA. Which mean Americans are really uptight lol
Oh man, this song went through my head while brushing my teeth this morning and I realized I hadn't heard it in over a decade. <3 to YouTube and hypyke for bringing it back to me.
Actually, the majority of the programming back then was comic specials. It was virtually all stand up for the first couple of years. Either comic specials or grouped shorts.
This is priceless thank you so much! I sure miss this show. There are two skits I wish I could find, the video about making a music video, I think it's called "More Candles More Smoke" or something like that and the best was The Ballet. These guys sure were talented! Thanks again so much for posting this. with love, abs

@skinnyblinddude That's amazing. I thought "elitist hipster douchebag" was just a stereotype played for laughs. Apparently it really exists.
