Thoughts

I am a big sketch-comedy fan. I have avoided Saturday Night Live because for some reason I find it largely unfunny. I have spent most of my formative sketch-comedy enjoyment wrapped up in The Kids in the Hall, or more loosely known as the show Lorne Michaels did that was actually funny.

All it took was a "shh" in an instant message from a buddy today to send me reeling through the sketch-comedy archives in my brain. There is a permanent bookmark in said archives around what is probably my favorite sketch of all time. I know that is a bold title to give out, but I mean it.

Some of you may remember that MTV had a show years ago that fits with Kids in the Hall in my heart. MTV's The State was the comedy troup that has done a few movies and is basically the current cast of Comedy Central's Reno 911.

"Now I know what you're thinkin'. Barry and Levon, where did you get $240?"

"Shhhh"

"Don't worry your pretty little head about it baby."
"It ain't yo' concern."

It gets no better than this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GUFCynlh5Eg
