Fuck balls, I miss this show. Even the forgettable bits like this are fucking awesome. Perfectly lampoons the phony, affected, rehearsed, hollow world of business stiffs in suits and nooses. Favorite part: "I'm gonna go stand a few feet away." There is absolutely no reason that should be so hilarious, but it just is. Scott kills it. I think he plays the best straight roles out of the whole troupe.
it was a pre-covid world, where people took insane, life-threatening risks like touching each others' hands or exposing their faces. Thank god our government overlords are protecting us from such recklessness now.
While this show was on the air I was working as an assistant controller right out of college. I loved these skits because I found the office environment and businessmen just as ridiculous. Worst 2 years of my life...
I remember watching this when I was a kid and going, "yeah, I'm never going to do networking." Then, when I was a teen, my dad was like "you need to network," and I was like LMFAO!~!!!
I miss the early '90s. I never knew when this was on or what channel but once in a while at night I would come across it and enjoyed it. Stuff used to be more special because you had to catch it. No on demand TV.
It’s so sad, the many poor casts of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying spend an average of 98 minutes of stage time on making this same sketch. David Swift spent just over two hours. Shepherd Mead spent 148 pages on the topic. All erased in just 3 and a half minutes of Canadian magic.
2:18 Is that the same Kutzka from the "Fuck The Bank" sketch? I wonder if this was some kind of Bruce inside joke: ua-cam.com/video/a-2w3N2VLVo/v-deo.html
this skit taught me everything I know
Then you must be a great businessman!
Jeff Bezos watches this skit every day, and Elon Musk watches it at every _meal._
Who did the last 11 yrs work out Elon?
Nobody says “OK” better than Scott Thompson. And no one does businessman culture satire better than the Kids in the Hall
*Businessmen dance by* "Holy cow!....THAT is a merger!" LOL :D - this is very Pythonesque.
" Businessmen meeting businessmen for the purpose of meeting them again at a later date" still one of my fave KITH skits
Every single line in this skit is a classic.
Grim Snark I know, right off too, "That is a thing of beauty, what a great handshake"
Most underrated sketch comedy show of all time. Scott Thompson is an incredible actor/comedian who keeps me coming back for more.
Scott Thompson is a fantastic actor. Why is he not in more movies? Dramatic roles as well as comedy.
KITH is not underrated. "Underrated" is the most overused word on UA-cam.
@@lord_insany def underrated. Much like your mother's no gag technique.
@@NightMahar now what would make a young man like you this angry?
@@lord_insany Who said anything about being angry? I only smile when your mom gets on her knees.
“Nothing is as good as it used to be. EXCEPT MONEY!!”
I’ve never seen the American sentiment expressed so keenly before in my life. Chefs kiss.
"Do you...like professional sports?" Always a great ice breaker!
Fuck balls, I miss this show.

Scott plays the best man's man for sure!
" I was on the other line " such a great 90's saying!
I like to tell people that I'll put them in my rolodex.
That was a great yuppie act by Thompson 😂
God damn life would've been awesome as a cocaine-fueled businessman from the Raegan 80s. I'm sure it was just like this.
No, that was american psycho.
These guys are playing canadian psychos.
@@phoenixarchangel5082 🤣👌
@@phoenixarchangel5082 Bu buu but, Canadians are Americans...
It never occurred to me how long everybody shakes hands in this skit. The average is about 9 seconds in this world

I always forget how good this one is! The dialogue and mannerisms are perfect, it has me laughing every time

Lol Scott "I'm going to stand a few feet away."
"That's a business card; take it." Mark is so cute is this!

I have a new found appreciation for mark
i'm gonna stand a few feet awaayyy....
I really miss kids in the hall. I loved them growing up.
Awwww, they're so adorable I wish I could take one home with me.
"I'm just going to stand a few feet away". Haha classic!!
Bruce should have gotten their info in his Daytimer™.
Back when business was the business
2022 and this skit it still as relevant as ever...
I came home after a date with a tech worker, and immediately went to KITH.
This is the best sketch comedy ever!
I think this is how he became an axe-murderer.
Such a great skit.
“That’s a great way to start out” 😂
3:27 "I'm the hot guy!" XD
I just noticed that Bruce's character's name changes from Gerald, when Mark tells him to look around the room, to Nick, when he introduces himself.
Mark McKinney so cute 💕
This is the abridged version of American Psycho.
Here when 212 subs. From Poorly Planned Comics
I like how the only one in this skit who isn't called Jerry or Gerald is Scott
Listen I'm going to stand a few feet away...
Sums up these events perfectly. Haha
Absolutely perfect
Makes me happy even if i am sad
"Holy cow... that's a merger." 😄
"Tony!" There's always a guy named Tony in their sketches.
Is that true? Like, on purpose? Supposedly, on the show Roseanne, the words "coffee" and "corn" are mentioned in every episode.
@@kennethlatham3133 No, there isn't always a guy named Tony in their sketches but maybe in several. Interesting fact about Roseanne though, cheers.
Life imitates excuses lol
Nothing's as good as it used to be. Except money!
Great handshake!!!!
Scott Thompson knew about social distancing even back then
Money's not as good as it used to be either. It's called inflation.
lol 2022 called... You call THAT inflation? Hold my wallet...
Introverted me started to sweat.
Money is definitely not as good as it used to be
Certainly not, but my local professional sports team is still my favorite!
Growing up in the seventies our social media and networking was walking or cycling around the neighborhood to get all the latest scoops.

Hiliarous😍
How would you like it if your claim to fame was you were the jumper @0:53.
hahahaha there goes a merger. hahahaah holy fuck!
2:18 Is that the same Kutzka from the "Fuck The Bank" sketch? I wonder if this was some kind of Bruce inside joke:
ua-cam.com/video/a-2w3N2VLVo/v-deo.html
this is the sick and horrible truth of life in the business world.
One of the few sketches from this show that I actually laughed at. When I was a teen I avoided it, now I know why
@araucaniad HAHA
money is the thing that's most not as good as it used to be
This is that part of society I don’t ever want to be a part of.
...This, and getting “boosters” every few months.
Is this a 1990’s thing?
Most good things are.
@@DanJackson1977 I agree
This sketch makes me darn near puke
Wonderfully cringe
business, like politics, mostly makes me nauseous
