I'm here because I was searching for this exact clip to share with my wife. She was talking to her twin sister this morning, who works for the city as a school crossing guard. This morning, after she'd ushered the kids into school, she noticed the well flattened body of a road killed squirrel that had bounced onto the school's lawn. She called the city to come dispose of it, before the kids came out for their lunch period. A short while later, a big city truck(her description) arrived and a young city employee disembarked. She took him to the squirrel's body and he made a loud, concerned exclamation. She thought he was just play acting the overreaction as a joke between city workers. Then she described as he went into the back of the truck, rummaged around for several minutes and emerged, clad in a disposable blue bunny suit(think CSI), face mask, goggles and thick rubber gloves. One hand was holding an enormous trash bag and the other had a disposable nitrile glove in it. He used that folded glove to daintily grab the edge of the Frisbee squirrel before throwing it and the pancaked squirrel into that bag. He then removed his protective gear, tossed it into the back of the truck, tore off his paper bunny suit and threw that into the bag before sealing it and bidding her adieu, as he got into his truck and rode off into the morning mist. I immediately thought of how Bruce McCulloch's roadkill removal guy, handled the situation with so much more style and panache and sought this video out to show her how the pros do it and earn their Big Bucks, lol.
It really is Lynchian, isn't it? From his pompadour to the revolting mystery of what the people in the limo plan to do with the roadkill... I wonder if he is sort of lampooning + paying homage to Lynch here?
After thirty six years of life, there is not a single sequence of moments commited to film that hit me harder than this one sketch. This was, and remains, the most incredible and important thing I ever watched. This made me a KITH fan for life. Bruce McCullough, you are forever a genius.
I can totaly see this sketch being a surreal satyre of the kid who drops out of school and has to work the most awkward jobs....Can anybody here relate to this?
These sketches are so unique and out of this world. I wish more shows would follow the same humor like KITH did *coughcoughsaturdaynightlivecoughcough* ...
Most of the KIDS sketches are HECKA FUNNY... Yet, some are a bit "artsy" like this sketch. Another "artsy" sketch featuring the great Bruce McCulloch and Scott Thompson, as his elderly father, is called:LOVE AND SAUSAGES - The Kids in the Hall They are great...
Thanks for uploading! This is one of those weird sketches that might have been on the knife-edge of working or not had it not been for the hilarious process shots. Bruce was so fantastic in these short films ("Sausages" another great example).
@EyeSea4VseMoHajaEsAi I gotta think so. I think he does all of the abstract sketches - this one, "Sausages", "My Pen", "Wig Man", "Work in Silence", etc - if for no other reason than he's the common link between all of them. I personally love it. He manages to be original, memorable, and funny at the same time. More sketch shows should follow his example.
Bruce was always very grand in scope. His shit was artistic, because of when most people watch, they never understand at first. He was the one that didn't give a fuck. They are the ones that don't make you connect the dots step by step, and make sure you get it to see an original goal. For reference, children's movies are the opposite. Infer from that what you will (you stupid idiot), but it's because you didn't see it at first. It's not your fault (it follows genetics where parents have a certain stupidity level, and yours is based on a percentage which only can follow a certain range.). I love the deafness and blackness sketch. It is at a slightly lower level, but slams the poignancy home.
As soon as I saw the glasses fill up with flies, I thought, "This guy is gonna fight spider-man." Then, he suited up and I thought it was really going to happen for a moment. I am writing my congressman to put him in an upcoming sinister six movie. immediately.

Bruce may be the most ingeniously surreal of all the Kids. I really don't know who else of the troupe could have pulled this off as well.

You wouldn't get it, this is hilarious. My roadkill junkie friends never get tired of hearing "it's party time, boys"
Bruce should do something with David Lynch.
It really is Lynchian, isn't it? From his pompadour to the revolting mystery of what the people in the limo plan to do with the roadkill... I wonder if he is sort of lampooning + paying homage to Lynch here?
This is one of, if not my most favorite KITH sketches
i just love how bruce is driving like a million MPH on a mini bike lol

Bruce McCullough, you are forever a genius.
I was just thinking that. Python had Gilliam, The Kids had Bruce.
Even though he isn't my favorite one of the five, Bruce's sketches are definitely the most timelessly absurd.
I think he was primarily a writer and didn't originally want to act the sketches out
This is literally the life of a freelance IT professional.
Bruce Is such an amazing actor
I can totaly see this sketch being a surreal satyre of the kid who drops out of school and has to work the most awkward jobs....Can anybody here relate to this?
Yes
No
A Bruce's piece of work . . . little genius!
WILD ... ive seen all KITH a bunch of times but for some reason I dont recall ever seeing this sketch
Same here and two years later I’m just now seeing it.
These sketches are so unique and out of this world. I wish more shows would follow the same humor like KITH did *coughcoughsaturdaynightlivecoughcough* ...
Lorne produced both.

They are great...
Love and Sausages is crazy good!
Thats why he is the great Bruceio!
there's nothing artsy about this . just different
@@ChrisC-qh4io One of my fave Bruce sketches in where he says he works at a bank and "how fucked up is that?"
amazing. I wish a show like this were on TV today. TV is garbage.
Anyone else notice a resemblance to the William H. Macy character, Shoveler, in Mystery Men, made years later?!
Yessssss, first thing I thought of. Effin Ben Stiller hack
Ya. They stole that.
No

My mom walks by and says
"What is THAT?"
I say
"It's Bruce"
lol Bruce is so fucking epic.
GAH!! I love this sketch but that shot with the flies on his glasses always creeps me the fuck out!
Bruce is a fucking genius!
Kids in the Hall's Theatre of the Absurd is on par with Monty Python.
lol @ bruce riding his mini-cycle in a highway @ 500 miles an hour.
It took me years...but now this is in my top 10 fav TKITH skits. I mean...I became addicted to this skit..yet I still can't understand why 🤷🤷
I still make references to this sketch.
Yep. This and Love and Sausages...
He looks like he's from Fallout... lol
@EyeSea4VseMoHajaEsAi I gotta think so.

This piece always remind me of the movie "Brazil"
No, the time is now...

+Andrew Holmes Dude trust me. Your lying to yourself.
Yes good
*_"YOU WERE RIGHT TO DROP OUT!!!"_*
Bruce's sketches are all sort of Lynchian, anyone agree?
Nope...
More like Terry Gilliam if anything
I want a job like this.....
I love him.
1:44 looks like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys
@@moldren5263 I don’t see the resemblance
anyone know what that opera theme in this sketch is? ive always liked it.
See the description box.
No..the time is now.
That made no sense! That's why I love this sketch!
So fucking obscure.
The Queen wants you to fail!
Bruce wrote this, didn't he?
So weird, even by KITH standards.
Were the people in the limo at 3:10 supposed to eat the roadkill? hehe I don't get it.
IARRCSim You’re not disturbing me...I know it’s late...that’s why I get paid the big bucks.
I like how the big bucks to him is just $40. I wonder what those creepy rich people are gonna do with that roadkill. Eat it?!
Dr. Detroit? Mystery Men's "The Shoveler"?
No... Bruce McCollough.
60$ isn't bad for an hours? work
Minibike Samurai⚔️
@razorlikeblue i was juuust thinking that
hah, kinda Sin City like : D
Anyone know who plays the girl in the limo? She's not credited (so many actors who appeared in the KITH sketches were uncredited!)
The show is very hit and miss. The best sequences are the elaborate filmed ones. This among my favourites.
As soon as I saw the glasses fill up with flies, I thought, "This guy is gonna fight spider-man." Then, he suited up and I thought it was really going to happen for a moment.
I am writing my congressman to put him in an upcoming sinister six movie. immediately.
