Brain Candy is so sharp and dark and brilliant. I love it so much. It’s merciless. It’s so Kids in the Hall. Their new series is great too. They haven’t lost a step.

You were my favourite hands DOWN, Kevin. A skit comedy master.
@@sibbyeskie no, he gets all amped up and trips over his words while trying to say 2 different things at the same time over and over and over again like you can clearly see and hear him doing here, you've obviously never had a conversation with someone who was on cocain before because the symptoms would be beyond obvious to you if you had 😂☠️😂
@@xp8969 I lived in the 80s. Have you seen the 80s? Everyone was high in the 80s, only nobody really noticed because everyone was really high in the 80s.
I loved the movie, it's one of the ones I've watched more times than I can remember. Although, everytime I rewatch it I notice how much funnier the first half is. Hearing Kevin talk about the process of making it, that kinda makes sense.
Love their show and adore this movie. I have a few of songs from the movie on my phone and I quote it all the time. In fact, I watched it this morning because I had to show someone what I was talking about when I said I created a drug to give worms to ex-girlfriends.
Brain Candy is the funniest movie I've ever seen. If Kevin McDonald thinks it could have been better, I believe him, but I also doubt that I could have physically withstood the amount of laughing. I barely survived the theatrical cut. God bless those men.
The interviewer thought the French fur trappers were PIRATES?! What the…? What pirates sing “Alouette, Gentille Alouette” and speak with French accents?
Right. I mean the Pythons never put recurring characters from Flying Circus in their movies. They just did their thing with a funny concept and people loved it.
Agreed. It actually says a lot about Lorne that he was pushing for that repetition so often. He did it on SNL a ton. Just constantly going back to identical wells. It might be marketable but it definitely gets stagnant.
Kevin McDonald has ALWAYS been amongst my top five favorite kids in the hall.... I DO NOT CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS ABOUT IT.. So, keep your UNSOLICITED comments to yourself...
BUILD Series evidently turns everything it touches to GOLD, just like another famous statesman from the south. Perfect in every respect, it still leaves room for improvement, which might raise eyebrows. But I did notice Kolyma tastes even less good when you're forced to swallow gold for food.
I always assumed they were called Kids in the Hall because they were referencing getting sent out in to the hall in School. I was always sent in to the hall as a kid, so it always resonated with me, this name. Oh well :P
That's what I always thought!! I was often one of the kids sent to the hall, so when I discovered KITH I immediately thought it was referencing troublemaker kids so I loved it. When I learned the true story behind the name, I was truly disappointed.
Kevin is right about the Daily Show theme song being very similar. I always thought the Daily Show theme song was a ripoff of the KITH theme song; it just has horns in place of the guitars.
Chicken Lady could’ve featured as The Stummies Boss’ wife within the lab as the first test subject of Stummies within a flashback in the new Stummies “are there any side effects?” And the Boss remembers his youth and beautiful wife becoming Chicken Lady after unforeseen side effects and having to hypnotise her and keep her within the lab to accept her original and known origin story. Foreshadowing what would happen later not only to the Boss, but also Glemenex. I think it may’ve taken some of the realistic edge off but could’ve worked karmically. 🤷🏻♂️ and the out of the closet character could’ve met Buddie. But I really wouldn’t change the film. That said I would also buy The Directors Cut. So.... 🎞📀💰
In case anyone's curious, Ebert gave it 1 start out of four, pretty much the worst review anyone gave for the movie. His partner, Siskel, gave it 3.5 out of four.
I admit, I was disappointed by Brain Candy when I saw it in the theater when it first came out. But I've watched it again about five times since. I appreciate the jokes more upon each viewing, but the story and themes seem to really hold up well. Some dated stuff but definitely not a movie of its time.
God, I wish the original KITH series and Brain Candy could be re-released in hi-def! Or, at least the movie on Blu ray and the TV shows on standard-def Blu ray. The last KITH DVD release was just crap -- very bad compression. They've also never done a proper series release with everything unedited and the original full-length pilot bundled with the TV series. It's had a cursed release history on home video.
The pirated version of Brain Candy that keeps popping up on RUclips is missing a lot of material. Still a good movie but all the funniest gags are missing.
No way what is the actual run time? And can someone get a hold of the extended VHS?! the world needs this. Someone posted the alternate ending but its horrendous quality
"Voiceover is really tiring" Hard to imagine anything more tiring than doing a forty minute on-stage interview ATONEHUNDREDSEVENTYFIVEMILESANHOUR. Great stuff, love you, Kevin.
@Andy Witmyer Since you can’t ironically think something, I guess I did think that unironically. Are you saying it’s appropriate for an interviewer to say “your guys’s”?
I loved kith always went to moms house to see new episodes she had cable. I would record it on tape and bring it to college so everybody could see it that week. Was a huge fan but the movie sucked ass, I saw twice in the movie theater. The first time I thought that the comedy must be over my head and I didn’t get it the second time I watched it I came to the conclusion that they made a movie that was not funny and anti-comedy. I’ve watched it a few more times over the years and I think simply that the laugh track is what made the show so funny. They did this with mask a couple times where they had no lap track and it wasn’t funny. The jokes didn’t go over well. They are cut the movie with a laugh track and see how it does. So I hated the movie, so what I watched every episode multiple times here on RUclips.
Yeah that's kind of like saying Britney Spears music was never fun to listen to. I'm telling you more about myself than the actual music. Namely that I'm probably not a girl born in 1986. So thanks for telling us a bit of trivia about yourself, Hans.

Great interview; hope y’all have fixed the audio issues.
Thanks for interviewing one of the Kids in the Hall!!
This film is very underrated. Brilliant and rare to find behind the scenes for it.
Brain Candy is so sharp and dark and brilliant. I love it so much. It’s merciless. It’s so Kids in the Hall. Their new series is great too. They haven’t lost a step.
You were my favourite hands DOWN, Kevin. A skit comedy master.
The kids in the hall are the greatest sketch comedy troop of all time. They are Gods among mice and I thank God every day they exist.
I love Kevin's energy, the dudes still a comedic genius and a very intelligent speaker after all these years
He is sooooo fucking high here 😂
@@xp8969 So when Kevin gets sooooooo high he just appears totally normal and easy to talk to. Got it.
@@sibbyeskie no, he gets all amped up and trips over his words while trying to say 2 different things at the same time over and over and over again like you can clearly see and hear him doing here, you've obviously never had a conversation with someone who was on cocain before because the symptoms would be beyond obvious to you if you had 😂☠️😂

Woooooow the host referenced the adventures of Pete and Pete while talking to one of the KITH. God I miss the 90's sometimes lol
Cancer boy is the best
“Did ya see did ya see?”
The doctor 'n' me!!
Each day is a gift!
Kevin is a God tier legend. Brain Candy is must-see.

The fucking fur trapper sketch is unbelievably funny. Killing businessmen to steal their suits and resell them
"And of course many many Armani" "Let that one go....he has spirit...he could be vice president someday"
Brain Candy is the funniest movie I've ever seen. If Kevin McDonald thinks it could have been better, I believe him, but I also doubt that I could have physically withstood the amount of laughing. I barely survived the theatrical cut. God bless those men.
The interviewer thought the French fur trappers were PIRATES?! What the…? What pirates sing “Alouette, Gentille Alouette” and speak with French accents?
Pirates came from every sea faring country in the 1700s. Would have been French, too. I get your point though
French pirates. Duuhhh.
Calls a canoe, "a row boat."
I think I've watched brain candy 100 times. Still love it!
I hope the new show gets to be made!
Yo congrats

Not putting the "known" kith characters, was the ABSOLUTELY correct decision!
Yeah, the movie was still satisfying 'cause it was still them doing their thing.
Right. I mean the Pythons never put recurring characters from Flying Circus in their movies. They just did their thing with a funny concept and people loved it.
Agreed. It actually says a lot about Lorne that he was pushing for that repetition so often. He did it on SNL a ton. Just constantly going back to identical wells. It might be marketable but it definitely gets stagnant.
That Gilliam film he's referencing that opened the Python movie was The Crimson Permanent Assurance.
From the opening credits/"supporting feature" of Meaning of Life.
great guy
That Brain Candy trailer makes me want to listen to the greatest album of all time, Rancid's "... And Out Come The Wolves."
I’m always astounded about how great movies like this get made but it’s a meat grinder behind the scenes.
Kevin McDonald has ALWAYS been amongst my top five favorite kids in the hall.... I DO NOT CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS ABOUT IT.. So, keep your UNSOLICITED comments to yourself...
Also I love you Kevin.
BUILD Series evidently turns everything it touches to GOLD, just like another famous statesman from the south. Perfect in every respect, it still leaves room for improvement, which might raise eyebrows. But I did notice Kolyma tastes even less good when you're forced to swallow gold for food.

I was a big fan of Your Show of Shows as a kid, so I knew the reference before I saw KITH. I like the nod to history.
Mighty Boosh also 'stole' the fur trappers idea, love Boosh, KITH and Monty.
Kevin is right about the Daily Show theme song being very similar. I always thought the Daily Show theme song was a ripoff of the KITH theme song; it just has horns in place of the guitars.
Kevin McDonald is a comedy genius.
I love the movie. Seen it twice.
Highly underrated movie.
I wish they would make more movies.
this movie saved my life
Chicken Lady could’ve featured as The Stummies Boss’ wife within the lab as the first test subject of Stummies within a flashback in the new Stummies “are there any side effects?” And the Boss remembers his youth and beautiful wife becoming Chicken Lady after unforeseen side effects and having to hypnotise her and keep her within the lab to accept her original and known origin story.

All I can see is Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch!!
Alex Glass me too. And, he also played as older Harry Potter from epic movie.
All I can see is Doctor Chris Cooper, and his marvelous drug.
“Brain Candy, Roger. Brain Candy.” - Gene Siskel
In case anyone's curious, Ebert gave it 1 start out of four, pretty much the worst review anyone gave for the movie. His partner, Siskel, gave it 3.5 out of four.
Ebert was an insufferable hack who had his head up his own ass, and liked it there.
This movie is right again.
What nobody mentions is how nuts Gene Siskel was for Brain Candy but all people want to talk about is how Ebert slammed it.
At times during the interview, you can practically hear the Pleakley in his voice, lol
I admit, I was disappointed by Brain Candy when I saw it in the theater when it first came out. But I've watched it again about five times since. I appreciate the jokes more upon each viewing, but the story and themes seem to really hold up well. Some dated stuff but definitely not a movie of its time.
So did the name come from Sid Caesar or Jack Benny?
Directors Cut???!!!!!
God, I wish the original KITH series and Brain Candy could be re-released in hi-def! Or, at least the movie on Blu ray and the TV shows on standard-def Blu ray.
The last KITH DVD release was just crap -- very bad compression.
They've also never done a proper series release with everything unedited and the original full-length pilot bundled with the TV series. It's had a cursed release history on home video.
I love Brain Candy they did a great job on that movie. it's a cult classic
The host sounds like Rusty from Mad TV.
Yeah, but Rusty was a lot more fun as a host than this guy. “It’s This & That with Rusty!”
Chandler from Friends owes his career to Kevin
The pirated version of Brain Candy that keeps popping up on RUclips is missing a lot of material. Still a good movie but all the funniest gags are missing.
No way what is the actual run time? And can someone get a hold of the extended VHS?! the world needs this. Someone posted the alternate ending but its horrendous quality
@@myousickoflife ruclips.net/video/wc4ND4Javf4/видео.html
his voice isn't as high pitched as before
That trailer is awful... It makes the movie look like crap and has scenes that didn't make the movie (which is stupid).
"Voiceover is really tiring" Hard to imagine anything more tiring than doing a forty minute on-stage interview ATONEHUNDREDSEVENTYFIVEMILESANHOUR. Great stuff, love you, Kevin.
THE BAGEL AND BECKY SHOW
Just found season 5 at dollertree wow wat a blast from the past hilarious mad tv did gap ads lol
*points at his shirt* got somethin there buddy
I already didn't care for the interviewer and then he said "your guys's" (11:06).
*YOUR GUYS'S!!*
That's something a 7-year-old would say!

Evil! Be sure to call your mom on Mother's Day. Evil!
Hey look it’s Waffle
God, like the salt of the earth.
This man is NEVER NOT funny
Bad movie, incredible tv series. Skip Brain Candy and watch the show people
you are wrong but it is ok to be wrong sometimes
Nolan Willard huh?
I love the movie and the show.
The movie is incredible.
This is the worst advice I've ever seen.
Kids in the Hall was never funny
And that's the funny part
Hans Juker: What's wrong with you???
Yeah that's kind of like saying Britney Spears music was never fun to listen to. I'm telling you more about myself than the actual music. Namely that I'm probably not a girl born in 1986. So thanks for telling us a bit of trivia about yourself, Hans.
Aren't you German?
