Mark is one of the few KITH who can actually make you forget hes playing a character and make you believe whole heartedly that he is that person. The others are very talented and funny in their own ways but Mark is clearly the strongest actor among them.
I swear these get more and more hilarious every time even if like me and have memorized! Such an amazing show! Impossible to choose "a favorite" Saw them live some years back and they were just absolutely amazing! Mark used the Isle I was sitting in for part of a sketch, and even tho wasn't part of it he stepped on my purse crushing a makeup compact lol. Two things I'm actually very proud to say still holding on to! Thanx for posting allowing those who unfortunately missed out then the opportunity now to see such brilliance!
@ToasterPig I think McKinney is great, but Scott Thompson was the best actor. At least at the time. Foley's evolved tremendously as an actor since the early/mid-nineties (and he's my favorite KITH writer). Brucio was the hardest worker, and Kevin was the laugh-magnet clown. I consider Mark McKinney the most well-rounded of the five. Of course, all of the above is mostly subjective.
That is because here in Beautiful Canada Their is hardly any cencorship on our Television. I think it has its advantages and its disadvantages...If any of you Americans want to see HBO styles TV shows without watching HBO...just turn on a Canadian TV station....We do just about anything we want on TV.
Ambulance racing along kennedy rd in brampton, driver and paramedic talking somewhat frantically with concern for their ambulatory patient It’s Mark’s Please please man with the wife that needs to be turned over “Hey ! can we stop for some smokes ?
Scott is definitely the second strongest actor among them In my opinion the strongest actor is Mark Second strongest is Scott The others you can argue over forever and never come to a clear, finalized ranking of their acting skills.
Um.. I dont think Canadian broadcast standards were ever quite that lenient. There have been some changes in broadcast standards but thats just a shift in society. Also the price of smokes and the laws about where you can smoke them have nothing to do with the states.
I agree, he's so talented. From his mannerisms, tone of voice, everything is perfection. I've always been fascinated by Mark McKinney's talent.
Mark is brilliant. I just love him.
Basic Canadian Rule - don't refuse someone who asks you nicely three times.
a deadly rule...
a
teako north thus refugees galore.
Unfortunately ☹
Their prop and set design crew were top notch.
O please, please, please, don't shut off my cable!!!!!!!!!!!
"Let's go to Shakey's!"
Whaaat? Shakeys was my favorite place, we used to have one in Anchorage when I was a kid. Mojos!

Funny thing about the "Fuck I nearly quit" line is that old smokers really talk like that about the prices lol
They've accepted the fact that they're slowly killing themselves, they just don't want to pay out the ass for it.
I have an immense respect for our elderly,,, and I've met some like this......... but DAMN!! Mark NAILED THIS!!! Holy Crap!
"I quit this one time 'cept I couldn't"
One of the best McKinney sketches.
See, that is how Canadians are, they are so nice, all it takes is 'please' and they are yours...
"I only ask cause the loneliness is killing me" - I felt that
I quit this one time except I couldn't
I got to see this live :)
"A Korean toe for turning over your invalid wife?" If I had a nickel for everytime I've gotten that offer.
I have a Korean toe !

That was awesome! LOL
Every Canadian knows someone like this. Change my mind.

Yeah, I'd actually say Scott is a better actor, because his characters are not always over the top. Mark is very talented though.

It’s Mark’s Please please man with the wife that needs to be turned over
“Hey ! can we stop for some smokes ?
Fuck, I nearly quit. goddammit now theyre like fuckin 11-23 a pack.
Now? Hah! 19 bucks for a pack of Marlboro’s
"Did you roll her over?"
From a fellow Canadian - not quite true - and certainly not these days it seems - ahh the 90s - but yes, Canadian television seems a bit more flexible
Scott is definitely the second strongest actor among them
In my opinion the strongest actor is Mark
Second strongest is Scott
The others you can argue over forever and never come to a clear, finalized ranking of their acting skills.
what season and episode?
I didn't even notice when he said "Fuck I nearly quit!" at 1:08. The only rason the word fuck is such a big deal is because people MAKE it a big deal.
Statism knows no nationality.
Does anyone have the one where he's like 'please dont shut off my cable' ?
Did you ever find it? :)

@velvetmafia187 Problem is you picked the wrong americans to kiss up to. I know it can get confusing.
I thought he said fucking nearly quit. Am I wrong?
tagtime Fucking, eh!
