Whenever my ex and I would get in an argument he'd call me "heartbreaker, looooove taker, SWAMP WITCH!" And I'd start laughing. It was hard to stay mad at him. I looked this up because I wanted to remember where he got it from. I remembered kids in the hall but not the sketch 😆 RIP Chuck 💔
It was a different time...Mark killed me when I saw this, just hysterical, the look on Bruce's face I couldn't stop laughing...but back then they were beating SNL...
@@MajorFaversham Edgy? You could tell who was cool and who was homophobic when this came on. It had nothing to do with Buddy Cole either. I remember people objecting to the use of men in dresses (character costumes, really). It was a great way to separate the wheat from the chaff. I couldn't believe it when a certain segment of my friends did not find them funny. It's like they had a problem.
I love Kathy talking about herself being an emotional eater . " I eat I do. I pick I nibble under stress I have a little food." Funniest line in the sketch.
Gary's backing band was Shadowy Men On A Shadow Planet, the KITH house band and the creators/performers of the theme song, "Having An Average Weekend."
I saw an interview with Mark in which he cringed about wearing blackface on TV. Fair enough...he learned from it. I don't think he had any malicious or racist intent, and the blackface probably wasn't even his idea. He was playing a character whose primary characteristic was being a blues singer. Mississippi Gary was actually a character they performed on stage before they got the show, and he didn't wear blackface then. It would be just as funny without the blackface. There are some white blues singers, after all.
Agreed. It’s still a funny sketch but honestly, I had totally forgotten. He was in black face and I’m really bummed about that because I was going to post it. I wonder why the decision was made to put him in blackface when he wasn’t originally. I don’t think it adds anything to the situation like you said they’re plenty of white southern blue guys.
@@gonesnake2337 I should've precise my question. I need to see an American show where a white person plays a black one or (seeming to be) strongly involved in "black culture" like it is in Trailer Park Boys, another Canadian show. Like only Canadians can play other races and noone gives?
Oh here we fuckin' go with the melodramatic sulking from self-entitled white Millennials (or "Zoomers" or whatever the hell you call yourselves). It's like... _"Context??? What's that? Never heard of the concept!"_

Omg 😂😂 Im sorry about your relationship but this comment made me literally LOL. I couldn't stay mad at him either lol.
Greatest TV show to date and till the death of time.
i LONG for the death of time.
Love this sketch.
It was a different time...Mark killed me when I saw this, just hysterical, the look on Bruce's face I couldn't stop laughing...but back then they were beating SNL...
so true!!!
No. It was not a different time. The comedy just hasn't been squeezed through as many money holes when youre seeing it
It WAS a different time that we will never see again. Comedy is *supposed* to be edgy.

"Buddy come on over here and shut my eyes for me, I got the blues" lmfao
Loved this when it came on tv and still love it
Gary i dont like Monday's either but I still go to work..😂😂
Gary's backing band was Shadowy Men On A Shadow Planet, the KITH house band and the creators/performers of the theme song, "Having An Average Weekend."
Shut my eyes I got da blues
Swamp Witch!
When Kathy with a K get the devil in her eyes, that devil take this bus and drive it to her thighs. OMG, that is brilliant.
Mississippi Gary is my alter ego. Mostly when I drink.
"Loooooooooooove taker!!" lmao
I can't get enough of this sketch: the woman's response to a blues guys lament. Two sides to every story.
back when the world had a sense of humor. Love the KITH.
@@pashadyne who's your therapist?
"Vhou'sz tha therrapisst (jour mathr, Trebek. Ah, ha, ha, ha)? Therr vennt 5 aw themm...thej had a skittcom on H.B.O."
I still used the term "Swamp Witch" when I am pissed at a woman. because of Memphis Gary.
That's Mississippi Gary, y'all. Memphis Gary's a whole other skit
@@jamesgough3938 can't believe I flubbed the character's name. Thanks for correction
Gary learnt from the best.. Blind Melon Chitlin
I don't care about paint or stereotypes, etc. It is simply a funny sketch. I also love the blues.
Yeah, how come white people don't boycott geisha dancers?? They like to play White-Face. Smoking on a night train, sucking on a jelly roll.
Miss this show lol
no worries. they're BACK!!!!!!!
"Vhenn tha hell vill thej relleas sieries 7 (iff jou cavnt Death Comes to Town)?"
I love Bruce!!!!
It's funny how there are multiple sketches where the secretaries get with black guys lol.
Kathie with a K. Love it!!!!!
Unfairly too much talent had by Mark.
"Kathj, hie diddn't brinh hissz hojt/tuuns hoom vitth himm, hie brvaht hissz hojt tou hissz tuuns."
Yeah but who was playing harmonica? That was fire.
Ohh, THAT's why the sketch is missing from the series reruns. I didn't even remember the makeup. Zero tolerance is stupid.

Awesome! :-)
swamp wwwiTCH !!!
Lol
Mississippi Gary is 100% based on the legendary blues musician Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Second way's to get hoirt.
Bruce as Kathy looks way too much like my mom. Who is also named Kathy. With a K.
I am on team Kathy re this disagreement. You can do better Kathy!
OMG .... A guy dressing up as something he's not ... a woman! Sacre bleu!
Say what? You clearly don't know the skills these boys have.

Any American equivalent?
Maybe Mr. Show with Bob and David

Yeah, Silver Streak. Gene Wilder and Richard pryor
Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. Dan went full Jamaican and Eddie went full African.
@@AEIOUY234689 yeah cause we didn’t all use to be sjw scum.
Blackface IS offensive yet somehow Mark pulled it off
I love kith a lot but what annoys me is that he didn't have to paint himself black for this to be funny
shutup little snowflake wimp
He does look pretty foolish
It's out of date. If you disagree your a simple contrarian.
Shrug
EmiOfTheCentury Gooodddddd. Did your bitter, ugly, feminist teacher tell you say that? Or was it the sneaky beta male teacher?
Well, Mark McKinney is wearing black face. Time for the Cancel Cops to come.

OYUS FIRST COMMENT!
Not exactly blackface, but still a bit politically incorrect, then and now. But comedy should be political incorrect.
First time I saw this, When Mississippi Gary called her a "swamp witch" I shot dr. pepper out my nose.
He's painted black! This is so racist.... And funny
90 percent of KITH sketches stand the test of time. This does not.
Sure it does. It's funny and there some fine harp playing. Stop being a hate filled lefty
Oh Josh....we were not crazy sensitive back in the day.

This hasn't aged well...
This is comedy. Today's current culture is what didn't age well.
one more thing, i miss blackface
Can we focus on the black face jazz guy just for a moment most of the cast on this show are white men
They went woke, so they don't get cancelled for this.
The blues singer sketch hasn’t aged well.
Only if you're an sjw puss-SAYYYY
Don't be a swamp witch.
