I'm sure when I first saw this sketch that I sympathized completely with the guys who stole the gazebo. Now I sympathize with the old lady next door. Still a funny scene, but it's changed from a triumph to a tragedy in my mind.
It's dark humor -- The Kids' stock and trade, what always set them apart from SNL, the show that played it safer. Only SCTV and Monty Python would have gone some of the places the Kids did... SNL has generally been corporate humor and safe by Lorne's or NBC's executive standards. It's maddening but it's far easier to hate SNL for that than some of the Kids' sketches that I don't care for... The difference on the individual level is I just don't watch certain sketches or fast forward through them (none of them, btw, are Buddy sketches -- part of why I LIKE Buddy is because he unnerves me; I have no ideological issues with Buddy). The SNL/NBC response to "unsavory" sketches is to ban them and never show them on TV again... They're just too controversial and think people can't handle it or be adult or do what I do with objectionable (to me) material. It's call personal choice and action but NBC/SNL won't even do that much anymore.
I know of nothing comparable in the world of comedy, except for some Terry Gilliam ideas, like “The Crimson Permanent Assurance”, or whatever the first sketch of Meaning of Life was called. The last shot of Bruce McCullough still haunts me….
Wow. My neighbors bought a gazebo from Costco. We liked it so much that we bought one just like it. Thankfully they still have theirs, so we can’t be accused of stealing it. ...yet.
In the restaurant skit about the ''dipping areas'' he reminds me of Margaret Thatcher. Just glad he wasn't a ''member'' of the Sex girl patrol...although Sex Boy is somehow even more disturbing.
Their regular portrayal of Canadian cops as complete morons should be amusing but it's actually just depressing in its accuracy. I'm surprised when she called to report the crime they didn't just tell her to call someone else or say not their jurisdiction either.
This always puts a smile on my face because it reminds me of when I was a long haired teenager causing trouble, making the old ladies mad and having friends just like that that lived in what looked like crack houses with motorcycles and old cars. Life was great!
I mean... Besides proof, and evidence, and facts... What claim did that old woman have on the gazebo? Yeah, that's what I thought, people in the early 90s!
This wonderful skit has taught me so many value things. - Things about gazebos. - Things about The Application of the Law. - Things about friends who help when in need. - Mistakes about parallel parking. - Physics and gravity applicable to load-baring structures. - Perceptions and stigmas of society from a social science perspective.
@@JanetStarChild I've lived in the US and Canada, and there's no such thing as Alt/Neo whatever. Every sentiment you hear is the response to provocation and subversion. One always reacts to the other. I don't even think anyone is naive enough to believe the rhetoric. It's easier to dehumanize the other side to justify tyrannical action. If there is a rise in anything it's the identity politics of the far left (aka institutional mainstream left) which forces a lot of people to stand up for themselves and identify as whatever is being attacked rather than tolerate false collective vindication.
You think someone would have asked what a gazebo looked like or a description... or you could have told your friends to stop shooting arrows at structures :P
Stealing lawn gnomes I get -- they're TACKY! (and make great teasing mementos for vacation photos/postcards) -- but I never understood the appeal of stealing something as heavy and bulky as a gazebo. These guys were definitely stoned when they took it!
Every time I hear the word gazebo, I'm reminded of this skit! Haha!
Gazebo, ascertain, delineate..
Me too!!
Same here
There're so many objects that are voiced in my head by one of these guys..."My gaz--eee-bo..?" "My pen!!!" "Saus-ages! I- want--Sausages!!"...
Yes, because the word 'gazebo' pops up in normal verbal interactions all the time.
1:44 We dont have to stand here in our underwear and listen to this. 😅
I'm sure the 2 twins in this skit are the same 2 twin girls that were in deGrassi junior high
"Maybe you don't recognize us cause we're not in our suits today" LOl
It's funny, cus Bruce is actually wearing a suit jacket when Scott says that.
This show was so amazing and I feel it was light years ahead of Saturday night live
KITH is funny... SNL is almost never funny. At least for me.
I got something to say to you guys both, Kids in the hall, was a Lorne Michaels production.
@@colinmaharaj Being the producer means nothing.
@@fakename6658 jew in power, color me surprised
Lorne produced them.
Aw. Terrible news is horrible.
Scott Thompson cracks up playing straight dude every time.
Mi Horrorshow Ya he's just really casual, eh?
He plays “macho” better than anybody on the show.
"good morning Mr Herm-ee-tee-oww-ish" lol 😂 just classicness 🤘🏾👊🏾
“My partner is parking the car” - because Bruce McCulloch is already playing another character!
Yet another tragic gazebo related death. Will people never learn?
Let this be a lesson to all old people everywhere

😂😂😂😂for real??
She loves that gazebo. It was all her late husband left to her. He built it with his own two hands.
@@Auriam Ah, that's bull. She bought that for $95 from Zellers in 1982.
@@Auriam she bought it from a guy.
Let this be a lesson to all old people everywhere.
Next time I get pulled over, I'm totally gonna pull out the high school transcript line
You're just hassling us because of our long hair, because we're not captains of industry!
So those are the twins from Degrassi (Junior) High stealing the gazebo. Nice!
Now I have to look up the Sausage Factory sketch, because that was an epic journey of weird comedic genius. “Sausageeees!”
We are all sausages
I'm gonna go on that journey now. Thanks for bringing that up
I know of nothing comparable in the world of comedy, except for some Terry Gilliam ideas, like “The Crimson Permanent Assurance”, or whatever the first sketch of Meaning of Life was called. The last shot of Bruce McCullough still haunts me….
I used to torment my mother with my imitations of "sausage grandpa". I'm headed over!!!!
@@flashmcdash36 Ha! So you have a history of refined comedic taste. Enjoy the sausages.
Terrible news is horrible.
Absolute classic! These guys are such masters of comedy!
Did this sketch in high school drama back in 99. Only seen it once and it was so awesome I had it memorized. Best kids sketch !!!
Wow. My neighbors bought a gazebo from Costco. We liked it so much that we bought one just like it. Thankfully they still have theirs, so we can’t be accused of stealing it. ...yet.
One one the few cbc shows that didn't need a laugh track. I saw them back then and they were marvelous.
It's the Twins Heather and Erica from Degrassi!
MsLJK85 WOAH! I didn't notice until you said something.
BLT was on too in the chalet 2000 episode. And wheels dad is on an episode in season 4 or 5
We don't have to stand here in our underwear and listen to this
Can we even get dressed?
I remember watching this as a little kid. I didn't even know what a gazebo was. I did say it all the time.
The best part is that their girlfriends did all the heavy lifting.
Without a doubt, Kevin was the strangest "woman" of the group.
In the restaurant skit about the ''dipping areas'' he reminds me of Margaret Thatcher. Just glad he wasn't a ''member'' of the Sex girl patrol...although Sex Boy is somehow even more disturbing.
this is a typical Toronto Police investigation.
This will always be one of my favorite kids on the hall skits!

Terrible news is horrible. Bruce can say the most innocent line and it STILL sounds like
He’s mocking you haha
my gazebo 0:15
It’s because we’re not captains of industry 🤣
(3:36) Dave seems like a Steve Buscemi character
Reminds me of his character from Big Daddy.
another gazebo related death
Ian Curtis' spectre #BANGAZEBOS
This was the first KITH sketch I watched as it was airing on Comedy Central. I will always think of it when I see a gazebo.
My favorite KITH sketch!! This and the chicken lady going home!!
This always puts a smile on my face because it reminds me of when I was a long haired teenager causing trouble, making the old ladies mad and having friends just like that that lived in what looked like crack houses with motorcycles and old cars. Life was great!
u were the weirdo kid that talked to yourself and were always alone..i remember you
Every time someone on Facebook mentions having a gazebo, building a gazebo, sitting in a gazebo, I post this
its cause were not captains of industry? lol
I mean... Besides proof, and evidence, and facts... What claim did that old woman have on the gazebo?
Yeah, that's what I thought, people in the early 90s!
Why did you begin your comment with the phrase "I mean"? It doesn't make any sense without context.
@@JanetStarChild -Because, that's how stoners begin a sentence !
@@JanetStarChild is this because I'm not some captain of industry!?
The kitten cut off tee shirt LOL
Because of this to this day i still looks for them fat girl cat shirts
Holy crap it's Arin Hanson and Dan.

I take a perverse pleasure in knowing I've never outgrown this attitude. 😈
Hard to believe Lorne Michaels produced this and crappy snl
God Lord, Scott Thompson Looks like a young Ted Nugent Here
I'm still a "Gazebo stole" team player... and, by the way... nice cop work... Let this be a lesson to all people everywhere!
I dare you to make less sense.
Funniest kids in the hall sketch ever
You never saw the show. fuck off.
What is the song? Sound kinda like soundgarden but not familiar with it.
Terrible news is horrible
Canadian, an American without a gun.
A Canadian is also a US American without jingoism.
@nowonyuno
The US is a clogged toilet; full of shit; especially with its rise of Alt-Right Neo-Nazis.

I heard that is death penalty case for gazebo poching in canada aye
Great show.
"But it's MYYYY gazebo...
does this sketch remind anyone else of "Dear Zachary"?
This could totally happen in Canada
That's too bad-a.
love this one.....thanx...Still super funny
"My Gazebo is missing. There is a new Gazebo in your backyard that looks a lot like mine. Is that your Gazebo?"
Tim Pool was here.
I wish I had a gazzebo
LMAOOOOOOOOO +1
I remember when Dave looked good in a dress. The 80's, I miss em.
kind of a reverse stereotype, except it isn't.
Let this be a lesson to all old people everywhere " just the deadpan way much of the dialogue is delivered is fantastic
This is just so bizarre and original. It makes me think what sort of stuff they've been smoking.
You think someone would have asked what a gazebo looked like or a description... or you could have told your friends to stop shooting arrows at structures :P
This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. I will proceed to watch it a hundred times.
I saw a Gazeebo for sale in PS Home and had to watch this classic sketch pronto !
This sketch was searching for me for 22 years.
Always better than watching theCBC.
what's the guitar song in the background?
"C'mon, use your back!"
Excellent. Again, wha wiz zit aboot?
This is one of my favorite sketches from them😀😀
"Mister...Herm-"
"-ee-"
"-tiow-"
"-wisch"
I forgot about this one hahahahah.
Welcome back boys. It's been too long.
Love Kids in The Hall. The best.
The degrassi twins so cute ♡♡♡
Love it! One of my favorites!
Wow!!! This is a must see. Love it!!!
But its my gazebo 😂
Who puts a gazebo in their front yard? She was begging to have it taken!
Dazlidorne Jenkins uhhhhhhhh it's clearly in her backyard and their backyard. The cop went to the front then they took him around back.
I love you BEN😂

AvengerII- Nah, they were drunk and gacked or something. Just being stoned doesn't give you the kind of adrenaline it takes to steal a damn gazebo.
You can steal anything you want, when you just get hammered and sit in a lawn chair while the girls do all the work..
Gazebo, schmazebo. Give me a good old fashioned henweigh any day of the week.
Henweighs are so last year. You ain't seen nuthin' until you see a dickfor.
What's a dickfor?
Old People....
Here because of Timcast. Yup still funny.
What was with the live audience overreacting?
Well, they can't all be winners.
One of the most ridiculous shows that was on tv. I remember when this show was on tv and thought it was stupid then and just as stupid today.
Clearly you have no sense of humour gtfoh
