"I'm crrrushing your head, I'm crrrushing your head! Crush, crush, crush, crush!"

And the follow-up is:
"I'm pinching your cheek, I'm pinching your cheek!" whilst doing a sideways pinching motion.

Jesus, if the SOTCAA site was up they'd have had RealPlayer of an unbroadcast "crush your head" sketch accompanied by a tasteless cartoon about Donald Dewar. And they'd have got the catchphrase right.
[Must try harder, Chloe. (not serious)]

I thought Kids In The Hall was alright, but a bit hit and miss. The less said about the spin off, "The Vacant Lot", the better.

(Though they did have one great sketch about a father demanding his son kill him in the woods.)

Chloe, a while back there was a film by the group - "Brain Candy", I think it was called. I've seen it in some video shops and libaries.

Like most sketch shows, I thought it was at its best when doing one-off sketches - the recurring characters like Chicken Lady got very boring very quickly.

It's probably about time for Paramount to repeat it again, isn't it?

Sorry i got the catchphrase wrong - crush not squash - but the general intention of violence was there... and both end in "sh".

As for Paramount - I don't have ONDigital yet (no flipping reception - apparently they need to get an enormous aerial, then this backwater hell hole will move to the 21st century).

Kids in the Hall has to be one of the best shows to of come out of canada, and was totaly ruined by Channel 4 who insisted on showing a selection of episodes from the middle series, VERY late at night, they then repeated the episodes a couple of months later, even later at night.

The Vacant Lot had no connection to kids in the hall, other than after the last episode of KITH, Vacant Lot started up in the same time slot the following week.

THE best sketch had to be the one where two kids had sent off for a "human head" from the back of a comic.

Brain Candy was released for 'rental only' in early 97, but none of the major chains like blockbusters bought any stock as it was deamed "unsuitable". As a result of this and the video was never given an offical video release.

Have there ever been any New Zealand comedy series shown in the home country?

Clive Revill. A much underrated fellow.
