If Mentok hosted the Oscars... Mentok: Right now I have all the winners for tonight! I have the envelopes waiting right here... Bweeooopp... Oh I hate surprises! The Oscar for Best Picture goes to... Crowd: GASP! Mentok: Oh party poops, have it your way. Here to present the award for Best Art Direction are two nobodys who became somebody in this year's movie!
I had this song in my head randomly, but I didn't know which sketch it was from, so I just typed "kids in the hall best" into RU-vid and this "Absolute Best of" playlist was the first result, and this was the first video in the playlist Literally the very sketch I was thinking of.
For me, the most genius moment of the show was when Carrie told J Mascis that he was ''Too loud'' - even though his guitar wasn't plugged - and threw him off the stage, and he stood far in the background playing to himself.. I had the honor of standing 3 meters from him and Dinosaur Jr. on a show here in Tel-Aviv - and the guitar wall of sound that he created was the loudest I've ever heard live!
Reminds me of the sketch from little Britain where the old lady is obsessed with frog everything and she has frogs on all her home decor. Then for her birthday her friends actually buy her a real pet frog and she’s disgusted and kills it.
When I first saw this when I was 13 or so I realized that the phrase "Sometimes we bring heartache on ourselves" was the most profound thing I had ever heard. Now almost 30 years later this phrase is my axiom for life. My Credo, even. Seriously. When I feel like complaining about how unfair the universe is and how shitty my circumstances are, it forces me to confront and address my portion of the blame. Making it possible for me to own and correct those mistakes. It keeps me humble. I'm not even joking, this phrase has pulled me through some very hard times. Sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth.
