LMAOOOO

This whole season is solid gold. Same style as the original but vastly improved by the years the guys spend honing their craft.

The reviewer criticizing the nudity made me laugh almost as hard as the show itself did. If seeing old, out of shape guys shake their wangs is not your idea of funny then... like... you're not the average KITH fan, sorry but yeah this is not aimed at you. If you enjoy absurdity don't worry you'll love this reboot.

OMG, still hilarious!

I was laughing my ass off watching this first episode. That strip club sketch is fricken hilarious! For those reviewers who left negative reviews, you obviously DON'T get TKITH! All the elements are still there, all the absurdity, all the unconventionality that made them brilliant are all still there with The Kids 2022. I am so happy they are back, they have been away TOO LONG!!!!

Episode 1

Warning: Spoilers
It just feels like this group isn't ready for the modern era. I've seen worse sketch comedy (every week of SNL) but there were just not a lot of laughs here. Needs better material.

Cant think of anything good to say about this episode.

I grew up with The Kids in The Hall. They made me laugh hysterically every episode, and almost every sketch. Part of it was they were young and had nothing to lose and werent afraid of shocking comedy. They wanted to break the cute safe comedy mold that had dominated television for much of the 70's and 80's. They wanted to be different and surprised people, maybe even offend audiences. In fact I think they debuted the same year as Married With Children.

They also helped create a culture that was slowly but surely becoming immune to shock comedy, similar to Howard Stern and his shock radio.

Unfortunately 30 years later the boys just arent special any more. Its almost impossible to shock anyone today, especially with a sketch show. The guys dont have the same daring or youthful energy they needed back in the 80's. I wouldn't say they were phoning it in, but clearly they do not have the angry 20-something enthusiasm any more. They looked like they wanted to be there but just weren't giving one hundred percent. None of the sketches made me laugh. I was a bit surprised to see two of them nude, but it wasn't funny, just weird. Death Comes to Town was pretty funny, but I saw it on Youtube in 240p and it was kinda ugly. Still had some humor though.

I love these boys, I always will. They gave me a ton of great memories. They seem to have lost their way, which is fine because they're much older. They wont be making me laugh again, but I do appreciate them trying.

One episode in and I'm done

I enjoyed the original show back in the day. When I saw that they were bringing it back, I figured it would be a fun watch. Sorry... this missed the mark. Right out of the gate, viewers had to endure full frontal nudity of two cast members. I'm no prude, but seeing two 60 year old men in their birthday suits is not my idea of quality comedy. Of course, that was only one sketch, but it didn't get much better. I made it through the entire episode, but won't be tuning in for more.
