Buddy Cole was such a wonderfully confident, effeminate, queer, snarky, sassy gay character, but he was also a winner. He always made and got the joke. He just owned it so beautifully. Long live Buddy.
I think when taking into account all their skits/movies, etc., this is IMO the best skit they ever did. Every second and line works magically and flawlessly. Just truly genius stuff.
This is one of the funniest skits by one of the funniest people. The Kids are a hilarious troupe and he's one of the best. He can play any role from a stoner trading his jacket to the devil, an at&love exec, a flaming bar owner named Buddy Cole, or the maitre d' of a fine dining establishment.
The name of the team isn't Softball Sluggers, it's Sappho's Sluggers. Sappho was a prolific poet who composed poems to be performed accompanied to music on the island of Lesbos. Throughout history her sexuality has been debated, and yes, this is where the term lesbian comes from.
3:54 if this doesn’t describe being the athletic gay kid in PE idk what does. Just gotta look back and make sure the girl in the Cookie Monster pants is following you!
Kids in the Hall is one of the greatest TV shows ever made, and I love Scott Thompson and I'm straight lol. "I lost my drum! I lost my Indian drum! NO DRUM NO PARTY"
I love this. btw: @ 1:33 one of the players says "Whadda ya mean, a strike?" after the ump called the batter out. But, the batter swung :D There's no argument if the batter swings at it!
I really miss the '80s and '90s, when we could be our stereotypes and and tease each other and it was a sign of respect. I miss the kids in the hall they never let this on TV these days because a bunch of lesbians would get pissed off LOL
@Marcos Darbyshire punching down lol what did you study Marxism to you got to put everybody into groups and find out who's the most oppressed and victimized? You people are everything that's wrong in the world
Buddy is my gay king and mentor. He taught me so many things but one thing about me unlike him is he is more experienced in bars and clubs and sexually active where as I'm all quiet and rather be hidden at home
Patrick Mccallion oh please mary. With that hairdo and posting this “me me me” story talking all about yourself ? You are cookie cutter self absorbed gay. Next.
This could quite possibly be the most original and drop dead hilarious comedy sketch ever!! 30 plus yrs later and it is still amazingly funny!
"It had attitude" lol! I met Scott Thompson in Los Angels and he was brilliantly nice. What a joy to be around.
"It had attitude."
"I was thinking of something else."
"Touchdown!"
I absolutely love it!
Omg he’s brilliant!
I just saw this sketch on Pluto TV and I was in tears with laughter. Scott Thompson was always at his best when playing Buddy Cole.
really? what channel was it on? I been try see them on tv. even know I got whole seasons and movie and death comes to town on dvds.
I'm using Buddy's softball uniform as my Halloween costume this year!
Buddy Cole was such a wonderfully confident, effeminate, queer, snarky, sassy gay character, but he was also a winner. He always made and got the joke. He just owned it so beautifully. Long live Buddy.
"That's why when my friend OPAL asked me to manage the softball team"
....Gets Me Everytime!
This skit was one of the best ones with Buddy Cole EVER
I think when taking into account all their skits/movies, etc., this is IMO the best skit they ever did. Every second and line works magically and flawlessly. Just truly genius stuff.
And to think it almost never aired!
It really is a masterpiece.
Perfection in every moment.
@@gretchenhangleton9603 what's the story behind that?
Sausages
30 Helens agree: Classic sketch! And to think they considered cutting this!
This sketch had such an outsize influence on my gay teenage self.
I have probably seen this sketch a few dozen time, but every time he comes up into frame with the sparklers it gets me. Lol. Great sketch.
This ball's been around more than I have!!! Great line
Quite possibly my favorite comedy skit ever.
Best home run trot ever. I'd also love to see major leaguers ask umpires to hold their bats after clobbering a homer
This is classic they do amazing lesbians haha specially Bruce
“Get off my back buddy!!!”
two down, bottom of the night, bases are loaded... god I love clichés
They live we sleep
'sappho's sluggers'
"There's no place like Homeeeeeeee" OMG that was priceless...XD
I remember this. Labels!! Thanks for the post!
I miss these fools. Lol
I remember when I saw this, I died laughing...good times
From an out Lesbian, I think you are hilarious. I love you Buddy.
Touchdown...........................that does it for me
This was the skit that made me a KITH fan! Loved me some Buddy Cole!
I really really miss Kids in the Hall. Thanks for posting!!
Hopefully you're enjoying the new season!
A martini with Gatoraid - OMG!
Goethefemme , Not the tastiest of thoughts.
I wish so much that baseball players in real life ran the bases exactly like this every time.
"It had attitude."
It had attitude. Love it.
I miss this show

"Hold this...I'll be back"
"But you're a man"
"Labels..."
"That couldah been naaasssstyy."
Oh, Buddy... Oh, Scott. Loooove!!!
Yup! Its true! The kids in the hall are back! Thank you amazon!!!
Buddy Cole, a hero for all times!
Still one of my favorite sketches.

There is no place like Home! Easily my favorite sketch.
WHERE HAS HE BEEN !?!?!?!? WE NEED MORE SCOTT THOMPSON AND BUDDY COLE! He would've killed Bruno with his own movie.
3:54 if this doesn’t describe being the athletic gay kid in PE idk what does. Just gotta look back and make sure the girl in the Cookie Monster pants is following you!
oh man... i thought i'd seen them all. this is EPIC buddy cole and i'd never seen it!
lmao!!
"... it had attitude"
this skit kills me,,,, labels.. one of many funny skits,
2:08 I’ve never seen anyone move like that and it’s glorious to behold
Kids in the Hall is one of the greatest TV shows ever made, and I love Scott Thompson and I'm straight lol. "I lost my drum! I lost my Indian drum! NO DRUM NO PARTY"
Run those bases and don’t make a big to do about it!
One of my favorites. 😸
2:23 Gataorade martini LOL
Poor Sylvia
Buddy's in a league of his own.
That was seriously almost as epic as A League Of Their Own. 3
oh wow, Shonna is in a Steps sketch too! I love how they reuse and crossover characters :)
excuse me for coaching!
4:51 Apparently some of the other Kids questioned this part. "Are we really gonna use a Bugs Bunny joke?"
Priceless...
I think Buddy actually said "Sappho Sluggers."
The pitcher’s atavistic victory howl after striking out Shona…
Ta da!!
I can’t believe the other four kids thought this wasn’t funny enough to air.
Jealousy is so UGLY!
I love this sketch soo soo much.
Dental dams in a gay bar hahahahahaha
One of my fAVOURITES!! XXx
classic.
He said taadahhh. ! Hahaha
Can't believe they struck out the Eradicator
Comedy GOLD right there!
God I love cliche's..............
“She’s a sailor”
No use for seamen
Gives new meaning to "pitchers" and "catchers".
Fucking genius
That could have been nasty!
Best Buddy flashback.
I love you, BUDDY!!!!
How many young dudes did this character prevent from being actual homophobes?
I love this.
btw: @ 1:33 one of the players says "Whadda ya mean, a strike?" after the ump called the batter out. But, the batter swung :D There's no argument if the batter swings at it!
Scott Thompson is a big BLue Jays and Maple Leafs fan. So, you are incorrect.
Touchdown!
I think that's "Sappho's Sluggers".
God, I remember this sketch. Buddy was so alpha. HOT.
buddy go on and on lov u
Flawless!
Ta-da 😏
I used to think something like this could never happen.
i like how the swing with one hand was like if he was spanking someone. do you think that was intentional?
whem i say manage i mean the whole ball of wax
"Labels"
HAHAHAHA love it
Isn’t it “Sappho’s Sluggers”?
I really miss the '80s and '90s, when we could be our stereotypes and and tease each other and it was a sign of respect. I miss the kids in the hall they never let this on TV these days because a bunch of lesbians would get pissed off LOL
@Marcos Darbyshire Let me guess you're a millennial. The most miserable generation that's ever existed
@Marcos Darbyshire punching down lol what did you study Marxism to you got to put everybody into groups and find out who's the most oppressed and victimized? You people are everything that's wrong in the world
Where is a good place to buy a potato?

taa daa.
Think the "girls" had to wear a cup? ☺️
3:12
He really was the only genuinely funny one in the troupe. But I liked the show back in the day.
What are you talking about they're all great.
Lorne Michaels poached the pitcher......as he did with the Lemmings, Second City, and National Lampoon. He is a master at stealing people.
"lesbian softball" is redundant
