Tear Jerker / The Kids in the Hall

Go To

  • A surprising amount of the ''Can I Keep Him'' sketch.
  • The final sketch. It even affects the troupe. When the guys take off their wigs, Bruce looks like he's tearing up. All five of them wear brave faces when they give their final farewell to the audience.
  • Listening to Kevin MacDonald talk about his divorce and depression during the filming of Brain Candy. Everyone's favorite Adorkable Kid in the Hall, talking about barely being able to get up in the mornings to get on set, and going off set to cry during filming.
    • Kevin's eventual reveal that the "Daddy Drank" sketch was appallingly true in parts.
  • In the 2022 Amazon season, Dave Foley's sketch about a radio DJ still broadcasting his morning rock show to a post-apocalyptic hellscape, when his only remaining record is "Brand New Key" by Melanie. As long as the record is playing he sinks into a Thousand-Yard Stare, only forcing himself to perk up whenever it's over. At one point he dedicates a record to his twins, only to inform us that one of them was a mutated placenta that succeeded in biting the arm off the other one; they managed to contain it by locking it in a cupboard.
