Running Free

[phendformyself]

Good to see ya, Faggot.

[Stevo935]

Godspeed through Texas, faggot! XD

This would never see the light of day in today's nanny-state programming

[aDutchProduction]

I remember singing this song in the backseat of the car when I was 8 and both my parents turning around and staring at me in disbelief. No more comedy central for little me!

[thunderscratch66]

@aDutchProduction ROFL!!! cool story

[LadyNinjaKagero]

Lol, watching this show on Netflix today. I used to watch this when I was younger.

[MuffinxOverlord]

Oh god, this is stuck in my head now. D:

[gaetanoisgay]

I wish everyone who can be stereotyped (which includes everyone on the planet) would strive to have Scott Thompson's outlook on things.

[RaizerZ]

It's a shame a show like this could never exists today. The GLBTA would have complained/whined it out of existence with their constant nagging.

[Killermike2178]

@everyoneisondope It's Steve! Scott's dead!

[t0psecretshit]

they got away with this cuz scott thomson is such a cool faggot. i would love to meet him one day.

[cell12345]

@ZstarOdustE back when tv was creative

[birdbath318]

I love this shit... I totally forgot about it.

[ZstarOdustE]

back when TV was funny.

[katinaanimator]

Hmmm... Puppy food. Yes. That idea's just crazy enough to work.

[dacianavamp]

Song... too catchy.... Must resist... singing in public...

[smoth7]

this song is still one of my favorite head tunes

[mistereveready]

@smoth7 likewise. Very catchy tune. 

[floridacomedyfan]

I am 41 years old and was 20 years old when I first saw this sketch on HBO. The Kids In The Hall were at the dawning of an exciting time in America. Grunge was just about to take over the airwaves, musicians from back in the 60s were coming out with comeback albums and CDs were the new thing to get. I miss those days..

[gangstagaff]

@floridacomedyfan They're Canadian.

[floridacomedyfan]

@gangstagaff Yes I know. What I meant was they came out on HBO in 1989 which was around the time all things in entertainment started to change. Music, movies, and TV were all changing for the better.

[HisEmptyHouse]

"See the faggot. He fed a puppy" gets me every time.

[caltrof]

Que vaya con Dios El Fagot..lol!!!!

[slvgdvg]

Why can't you call it running faggot?

[LadyTamao]

Godspeed through Texas, Running Faggot. :')

[noisepuppet]

Run, you faggot.

[cheapcape]

Waaaay funny! I love KITH and Scott Thompson!

[MrTommYYZ]

Man, that faggot sure knows how to run free.

[zekejethro]

Lol. What a faggot

[fdickson]

We used to laugh our asses off at this when the show was first on.

[omegaofthepack]

Yee-haw! Walking talking sterotypes!

[jimjins05]

Howdy...Faggot

[Schellfish29]

LMFAO!! I hadn't seen this in soooo long. Had it on VHS years ago

[PorterPotty3000]

"God speed through Texas, faggot!"

[mnewf2002]

Via con Dios El Faggot

[Snaporaz100]

@mnewf2002

*Vaya con Dios, El Faggot...

[mnewf2002]

@Snaporaz100

It's Via but pronouced the way you spelt it. Via is Latin for Life or live

[Snaporaz100]

@mnewf2002 i'm from Argentina and i used this word almost 50 times a day :-)

Vaya means "Go" in spanish: "Go with God" (Dios)

Life=Vida, not Via

[mnewf2002]

@Snaporaz100 languages change as they pread around the world, Like how Quebec french in canada is very differant then parisian french, Iwhile you are going with the spanish word. I am going with the root LATIN word. which is Via

[MedusaParanormal]

I love when the christian boys start doing a little jig.

RUNNING FAGGOT RUNNING FREE

[MrBaryar]

I like how everything the Faggot does has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he's homosexual.

[slvgdvg]

@MrBaryar suggesting talking might be tho

[HisEmptyHouse]

@MrBaryar That's the joke - taking the piss out of the homophobic phrase.

[badmotherfuckerer]

Kids in the Hall kicked ass. I remember watching this as a kid and laughing my ass off... didn't realize what they were even talking about half the time.

[oracle19]

lol @ 1:40

[raptor212]

fuck you, it's still hilarious. kids in the hall is great!

[matvangogh]

great skit

[StormRisingOriginal]

Wow, it was funnier when I was 12

[spacecowboy5000]

Lots of things were, eh?

[brocker1966]

And yes I do know it means that there will be people who will still hate gays no matter how much good they do. But not alot of people know 'fagot' was a term for a pioneer

[brocker1966]

Ok...just to respond to stuntwill and everyone else here, a 'faggot' is a bundle of wood or sticks...Back in the 1800's, a 'faggot' was a term of endearment for a trailblazer or pioneer. Thats why hes dressed the way he is. The way they use 'faggot' here is NOT refering to a homosexual...Its just a clever play on words...Im surprised nobody else has figured this out...

[stuntwill]

Yes, everyone knows a faggot is technically a bundle of sticks. However, any Kids in the Hall fan knows that Scott Thompson (the actor playing Running Faggot) is gay and made a lot of skits outlining stereotypes and views towards homosexuals. So no, you're not making a clever observation. You're missing the point entirely.

[brocker1966]

Yes I know Scott is gay...But the fact is that a 'fagot' in the 1800's was a pioneer...That's why I said it was a play on words...Gads...

[samuraikarasu]

The entire joke with the rednecks makes fuck-all sense if he was just a trailblazer.

[wellyes]

@samuraikarasu

errrrr thats what irony is based on. Sheesh

[doobiesmoke15]

@brocker1966 No, a faggot is a meatball!

[1984gla]

@brocker1966 loved the skit and still smile when I see any of the new kids in todays programs. I read years ago that the term 'Faggot ' came about because they used to use faggot twigs when they were burning them at the stake along with witches. I believe it was in Bare Facts of History.

[tepes62]

LMAO...brilliant....

[cecilrickets]

I really love the awkward blocking for Bruce and Mark. Don't know why.

[bustedup]

" have you ever thought about just...talking to them? "

[aarett]

i love dave foley's exit

[msharvell]

lmao I love Scott Thompson! My favorite part is the end.. "God speed through Texas" and "Vaya con dios el fagoto!" This is one of my favorite skits.

[stuntwill]

I agree that the aim of this would be way too often lost on people who just want to laugh at calling someone a "faggot." I think the point was to just show that despite any good deeds a gay person might perform, he'll still be known as an outcast in society -- a faggot -- no matter what. I really hope that at least a few people catch this.

[epsteinsmutha1]

Yep, I'm with you on that, stuntwill, but one would really have to embrace the "I can save THIS starfish" mentality if hoping that those few people rise above the number one could count on the hands of a really crap woodshop student.

[2strokealley]

wrong.

[areallystupidguy]

Walkin' talkin' ster-e-o-types! The first season of this show was the best season of anything ever.

[epsteinsmutha1]

I love these guys, and this sketch is damned hilarious because I know what the aim of it is, but by the same token, taking a derogatory term and using it as a term of empowerment for lack of a better term, by those within the oppressed community is lost, because those in power haven't evolved the brain function to get that.

They think that gives them a greenlight to use those terms regardless, and it's a problem and I don't know that there's a solution. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

[Panushkin]

or over fagging it?

[wrenchpilot]

2:00

[TehPirateSquid]

Epic. :P

[jayTheCritic]

[jbrown1169]

So glad this is on Youtube. I saw them live several years ago, and when they started to do this sketch the whole place went crazy.

[ChristinCP]
