Girl in the cubicle Next Door:

La mélancolie:

(Being slightly overshadowed here by his castmate Mark McKinney, a cis man who is utterly unremarkable in boy mode, but somehow the hottest drag queen I’ve ever seen.)

The Pretty Lady Who’s On Our Money:

I honestly thought that was her. Even though I had just googled “Scott Thompson drag”.

Also: I cannot recommend Kids In The Hall enough.

It’s subversive, and absurd, and incredibly funny. I know “1990s sketch comedy” sounds… less than promising; but it’s amazing. It pivots beautifully from straightforward sketches, to bits that are so absurd that you can’t help but chuckle, to unexpectedly-effective social commentary, to absolutely gut-punching sketches make me think I need to to back to therapy.

It’s one of very few things I loved when I was a dissolute 18–year-old with a drinking problem, and which is somehow still just as good now that I’m a boring 40-year-old who drives the speed limit and takes fibre supplements.

I’d even venture to say it’s better than Monty Python.

For the uninitiated (who might wish not to remain so):

Flawless sketch comedy: “Monique, the Pyromaniac”; “Buddy Holly”

Absurdly, sublimely dumb: “The Daves I Know”, “I’m Crushing Your Head”

Impossibly relevant for sketch from like, 1989: “Fag!”

Oh look — it’s my dad! “Salty Ham”
