Actually a hacksaw would be an ineffective weapon. If you have ever used one, you know it is all too easy to break the blade. You'd basically have to get your victim to stand still in a certain way as you carefully saw at them.
It is like he asked for sugar and got dietary sweetener no wonder my second favorite sketch comedy show copied kids in the hall wkuk were huge fans glad Trevor Moore and Zach got work with them on a song sketch
The way he reacts with disdain when she suggests a hacksaw, as if she committed a grave faux pas---glorious. In fact, I would say that all their comedy revolves around exploring these kinds of social scenarios in some way or another, either through absurd juxtaposition and contrast (an axe-murderer being offended when offered a hacksaw as a substitute) or through subtraction or heightening of some crucial social element. They really do it like nobody else.
I don't know, isn't it pretty much the same joke as the SNL sketch with the shark at the door? Or for that matter the monty python sketch where the woman lets the man in after he swears he's not an encyclopedia salesman but he was?
@@jukka-pekkatuominen4540 Except every one of those locks only lock from the inside and if you felt the need to have so many locks, it would likely mean it was a bad neighborhood and the person wouldn't likely blindly just open the door to a stranger. And yes I know it is tv but you get the point.
Everything about this sketch is perfectly balanced. The mixture of politeness and menace. the quiet passiveness of the old lady. the tiny, old-lady steps she takes to get back to the table afterward.
My mom was a big fan of this show during its original airing (she was and still is a big fan of standup and improv comedy). I have to thank her for introducing me to excellent comedy when I was young.
Your mom sounds just like me! I have a 21 year old son who knows I'm an improv comedy fan to this day. Who else does she like? Does she like improv comedy podcasts? : )
@@ChewyThomson yes--baggy suits I guess. But, in retrospect--they were probably just cheap JC Penny suits--off the rack--and not fit very well. But it was the "Style" I lived it.
Axe murders always wear baggie suits. It allows them full range of motion. And allows their victims the full range of emotions. Really best for all parties involved.
See? Even in Canada, the axe murderers are polite and cordial when compared to their American counterparts. I plan on raising my kids up there if I have any.
I always just assumed it was a recurring character, I'm pretty sure it's the same character in the sketch where he's getting his axe sharpened in the street. The mass murderer monologue I always thought of as the same character though he doesn't mention axes at all.
My granny had one. For rabbits. When I was a kid, my rifle stuck out of my suitcase, when flying. No problem. Lots of things have changed. Farm life, not so much.
2:45 The woman has a very confusing level of concern. She's calm the entire time. Then she looks at the four locks on her door, and engages ONE of them. Then she grabs a shotgun and relaxes. I guess its to emphasize that this happens all the time?
Typical comedy show would do a representation of Jason or Myers but they just say "got a baby face guy, another guy in a dress so lets not try and do a obvious spoof of a horror flick, just play the situation straight" and they come up with comic gold. Thats why this show wa brillant!
They basically did the same kinda character with Dave playing the worst doctor ever one time, and... well... it worked 😂 The sketch did, I mean, not being the worst doctor ever 😂 that's just some yikes rocket fuel, though he had the same kinda blood soaked clothing lol
Keeping a shotgun in a little closet!!! Probably loaded. Of course ,the Toronto Police would just tell you "Let the axe murderer in .We've given up ,so should you !!"
The 90s was so big on "axe murderers" with that Mike Myers movie and all. Very strange. For one, there's never really been a serious spate of axe murders anywhere. For two, why is this the only type of murderer that gets a specification? We don't say "gun murderer" or "knife murderer"...
No comedic value loss being 30 years old but A different laugh, at a different time with a hint of cringe, and a recollection of how weird the early 90's were, and...I feel old now😦
I wished that they had made more movies. Brain Candy didn't do well commercially, but I had hoped that subsequent movies would have done well. Sort of like Kids In The Hall Wrath of Khan. If you know what I mean.
I was going to say Excuse me mam, I got into an acedent and my car got caught in the Bushes down the Road a little bit, do you have an Ax or a hatchet. But she was old and woke up pissed, Started to run after me going where are you from. The funny farm I shouted back. It was so Scary. I almost had a Hart attack. Angry woman when waked up. Angry woman. 🙂
I like how the KITH would often dress up as women for no reason. Like this could have been an old guy in his kitchen and the skit probably wouldn’t change much
The one that modifies apportioning seats in the house of commons? I don't get how it applies. It got overridden by the Fair Representation Act in 2011.
I legitimately thought at the end that she was going to pull a huge axe out of the closet rather than a gun. Bonus points if she then whispers to her axe, "don't you worry, my precious, I wasn't going to let him have you." or something.

'I have a hack saw."
"ooh, I'm an AXE murderer"
gold.

@@medexamtoolscom Yeah, but more importantly, he's an AXE murderer.
This is my go to description of Integrity
@@Ripsaw51 That the problem with the world these days: axe murderers just have no standards anymore. Sellouts.
It is like he asked for sugar and got dietary sweetener no wonder my second favorite sketch comedy show copied kids in the hall wkuk were huge fans glad Trevor Moore and Zach got work with them on a song sketch
Canadian Axe Murders are always so polite.
Yeah, some of my best friends are Canadian axe murderers.
When I saw this in America in the 90's I love the skit, finally, I get now with politeness and stuff. it make much sence now.
the walkin dude it wasnt a joke eh, your tire was a bit low.
@@richardrosen9507 Many American axe murderers pretend to be Canadian when they travel.
@@seanwebb605 Shame on them. That's dishonest.

That was alot of words for "these guys are funny"
this sketch is an extremely realistic Canadian conversation in the 90's
The group that originally mastered this was Monty Python.
Oh how I love Dave. He kissed my cheek when I saw them live in 1994. Sigh.
Oh my...
You're so lucky 😍🥰
Swoon! ☺️
You're old .
@@rajaoc1 She was only 2 at the time.....lol
Offering a hacksaw to an axe murderer?? A _hacksaw?!?_ It's like offering Ragu sauce to an Italian chef. Jesus.
i know right italians dont want to eat ragu
they eat that every day at home in italy
As an Italian I approve this comment.
God this show's humour was so awesomely surreal.
I don't know, isn't it pretty much the same joke as the SNL sketch with the shark at the door? Or for that matter the monty python sketch where the woman lets the man in after he swears he's not an encyclopedia salesman but he was?
"please dont call the police or, chop chop" man I miss honest humor
Dave's humor was always so dark. bless him.
Has 4 locks on the door and still opens her door in the middle of the night when a stranger knocks.
It’s the little things like that which add to the surrealism so well 😂
Normally locks are used for the time when you are not in.
@@jukka-pekkatuominen4540 Except every one of those locks only lock from the inside and if you felt the need to have so many locks, it would likely mean it was a bad neighborhood and the person wouldn't likely blindly just open the door to a stranger. And yes I know it is tv but you get the point.

As a man who's 40 years old I really miss the show it was so great
I think "axe murderer" is one of Dave Foley's best character :D
My mom was a big fan of this show during its original airing (she was and still is a big fan of standup and improv comedy). I have to thank her for introducing me to excellent comedy when I was young.
Saw this on my own as a kid I was so young but kinda fell in love with it lol I love this show
Your mom sounds just like me! I have a 21 year old son who knows I'm an improv comedy fan to this day. Who else does she like? Does she like improv comedy podcasts? : )
You should watch Whitest Kids you know. Its a generational successor. Its so damn good!
The polite axe murderer is one of Foley's best characters
Dave Foley never found a suit that fit so he just filled into them over time.
Seriously. Wardrobe couldn’t find anything??
That was the style back in the day
Chewy Thomson yup early 90s fashion was kind of wild
@@ChewyThomson yes--baggy suits I guess. But, in retrospect--they were probably just cheap JC Penny suits--off the rack--and not fit very well. But it was the "Style" I lived it.

All these years later and I still ask why she knows exactly where she keeps a rubber souvenir tomahawk and it's in a cupboard in her kitchen.
I have a bag full of googly eyes in my kitchen cabinet, so I'm not one to question this skit.
Jason LOL
Because Comedy
I LOVE KIDS IN THE HALL!!!! They were awesome back then and still till this day. I wish they were all still doing comedy like this.
Season 6 is coming to amazon later this year
The new season is out
he's so adorable.
"Chop" "Chop" hahahahahaha
2:45 I love how only one of those locks gets locked 😄
Nice catch
What a nice young man.
See? Even in Canada, the axe murderers are polite and cordial when compared to their American counterparts. I plan on raising my kids up there if I have any.
Or if they survive.
Did you ever have any kids, good sir?
Like Rachel, I’d like to know. Did you ever have kids? And if so, where are they? My guess is in the hall
dave should have been patrick bateman
Seems like Dave does a lot of sketched where he plays an axe murderer.
They say to write what you know.
He says in an interview that he loved playing murderers covered in blood.
He has a great handle on their thinking.
I always just assumed it was a recurring character, I'm pretty sure it's the same character in the sketch where he's getting his axe sharpened in the street. The mass murderer monologue I always thought of as the same character though he doesn't mention axes at all.
when i met Yes Man in Fallout: New Vegas i IMMEDIATELY thought of this character.
Gotta love Kevin's annunciation on the word "second".
You really gotta love Kevin's little old lady too.
If only all axe murderers were that polite.
This is the original and the superior version of Funny Games.
This isn't the comment I expected to read when I scrolled down. I am in awe of this goodass comment
What's Funny Games?
You're a very silly man and I'm not going to interview you.
No, no... you're pronouncing it wrong.
@@throatwobblermangrove8510 A film. See IMBD.com
That's her boy , that's why she feels safe opening such a door
Probably my favorite kids in the hall sketch
Watch Dave Foley's movie called "The Wrong Guy" he's dressed like this basically the whole movie xD
That wasn't a movie. It was a documentary of the strangest day in my life.
Classic colony movie (made by Canadians who live in LA - the second-largest Canadian city in the world.) Another great one is Free Enterprise.
What I find unbelievable about this skit is that being a Canadian show, the granny was able to have a shotgun in the first place....
Why? Shotguns aren't illegal in Canada.
My granny had one.
For rabbits.
When I was a kid, my rifle stuck out of my suitcase, when flying.
No problem.
Lots of things have changed.
Farm life, not so much.
World's cutest axmurderer ever! :-D

KitH didnt do a lot of pop culture references.
"Beggars can't be choosers". LOL.
Politely an axe murderer...."yes ma'am, you can obviously see what a dire situation I find myself in without my favored tools"
And please don't call the police or chop chop! Lmfao comedy gold!
Strange guy but she likes 'em
I’m never pirating ever again, I thought this was American psycho
Lol. This is a Canadian axe murderer. 😂
Brilliant!
Viva Canada & Kids in the Hall! xx
“Please don’t call the police or uhh chop, chop.”
he could have asked for a flashlight to help him find his ax head
But then he has to repair it too.
my favorite skit by them
LOL I'm doing The Kids in the Hall for a school project!
Ask murderer
Watch out for those happy smilers.😁
Keeping a shotgun in a little closet!!!
Probably loaded.
Of course ,the Toronto Police would just tell you "Let the axe murderer in .We've given up ,so should you !!"
Love kids in the hall I have all the seasons on DVD.
This is how serial killings happen in Canada.

Man, this is brilliant!
The Wrong Guy Except Dave Foley Did It.
GRANNY GOT A GUN!!!

I loved these guys bak then! (...i admit to being constantly offguard about them)
i guess the 3 ppl who disliked this video must be ppl from the current SNL cast
"Death Comes to Town." Check it.
Its a wonderful comedy.
Rate it high, or else - chop chop!
I wished that they had made more movies. Brain Candy didn't do well commercially, but I had hoped that subsequent movies would have done well. Sort of like Kids In The Hall Wrath of Khan. If you know what I mean.
@crazymamad
whaaaat? I have to admit..you are very lucky :P
Canadians are so polite
This is how I picture Canadian Serial Killers...I am so sorry to bother you, can you help a fellow out?
Oops, thanks for pointing that out.
comedic gold.
I think I got the wrong copy of American Psycho
LMFAO
2:00 lol
Yes
Me, as soon as I get my gun license
big fan of cute men covered in blood
A shotgun will beat an ax every time.
Kinda puts the SNL "land shark" sketches to shame.
seems like rust humor
Epic!!!
I wonder if this ever happened to Dexter Morgan?
@euginam91 Dave should have been Dexter.
Granny needs to exercise some trigger discipline
I was going to say Excuse me mam, I got into an acedent and my car got caught in the Bushes down the Road a little bit, do you have an Ax or a hatchet. But she was old and woke up pissed, Started to run after me going where are you from. The funny farm I shouted back. It was so Scary. I almost had a Hart attack. Angry woman when waked up. Angry woman. 🙂
I'm a ax murderer. Lol
@Ruby09de
It's true, I am.
Mike Myers was in So I married an axe murderer and he's Canadian Is that a thing
@alxcookie It is indeed. :)
Canadian Axe Murderer
Is this the prequel to Dave's "Mass murderer" bit?
Great, now instead of an axe he has an assault rifle. Great plan.
that was actually a shotgun.
Isn't a pretense false by its very nature?
Canadians...
What year was this?
Anyone know the song at the end?
StopWhatYerDoing I think it’s simply incidental music that Shadowy Men created for the show.
I like how the KITH would often dress up as women for no reason. Like this could have been an old guy in his kitchen and the skit probably wouldn’t change much
Its like British humor but american
Some of these KITH skits are not funny, but only funny because of how bold they can be in telling such lame jokes. 😆
This is why I believe in the 2nd Amendment (for Canada).
The one that modifies apportioning seats in the house of commons? I don't get how it applies. It got overridden by the Fair Representation Act in 2011.
So Canadian... and that, not in a good way. In fact, really disgusting😕
I legitimately thought at the end that she was going to pull a huge axe out of the closet rather than a gun. Bonus points if she then whispers to her axe, "don't you worry, my precious, I wasn't going to let him have you." or something.
