I remember the show in the 90s. I remember seeing them on tour in the 2000s and I was surprised how happy I was to see them back.

It's rude, it's bizarre but it's authentic Canadian humour and I missed it terribly.

The Shakespeare sketch hits on so many levels you have to see it to believe it.

Original Canadiana with hints of Monty Python. Hilarious. Ignore the low ratings, put aside your puffy airs and enjoy. "In Oshawa auto workers and strippers are in the same union". Funny as hell. Was never a fan of the originals...30 fricken years ago! Liking this so far. The "last fax" scene is great "I like sleeping with couriers because they come fast"...lol. Lighten up and enjoy.

They're back! I watched them when I was a kid... like them. Now I'm old... like them. The stripper sketch was painfully realistic (gravity really does a number on the nards).

It's the kids! They're older, cranky and taking full advantage of premium video by being a wee bit dirtier. Hearing their opening theme music makes me so happy.

Thank you for this one, Prime. You brought a smile to my oft cranky face.

I laughed. Oddly I was waiting fer 30 Helen's agreed hahaha. I really hope there's more I enjoyed it like the good old days. 8 episodes wasn't enough.

If you thought there was a chance these guys would mellow with age, you're sadly mistaken. This is probably the edgiest material the Kids have ever done. Fan favorite characters are back along with all-new over-the-top creations. No one does surreal comedy like these guys. If you're not easily offended and won't fall to pieces over politically incorrect humor, this is for you!

Their ability to skewer without offending. Their honest and refreshing look at the world. I missed them. And they are back - still as fresh and irreverent as ever.

Absolute best thing on Prime. Every sketch is great except for maybe the "friends of kids in the hall" cameo sketches. It blows SNL out of the water. Hopefully looking forward to another season!

Oh, Dear God! This show is BRILLIANT!! I forgot how edgy it was back in the 90's; now on Amazon, the gloves have come off. Well produced, well written, well staged, deep, dark humor. There is so much packed into each episode!

Thank you, Amazon Prime, for resurrecting this troupe!

Only 8 episodes made for the return season? I loved the show during my early teens and got so excited to see that they'll be returning with new sketches. If you never watched their original run, I recommend you check it out while we wait for the next season. Really good to see them return.

Lmfao!! This was such a treat. They kept to their original style and it was such a blast. A couple sketches were kinda bland, but that's ok. Everyone has their opinions.

It made me miss watching the 90's series.

..if you're like me who gets a headache from laughing too hard. I can't believe I already finished the Season 01. Now, God knows how long I have to wait until I can laugh out out again. :(

I thought 'Just for Laugh Gags' was the funniest thing in Canada, but this show proved me wrong. It's hilarious on a whole new level. The cast, their getups, little skits--all so funny!

It is not wrong to say that Amazon did invest into something great. And, I hope it keeps doing it. I am on to the older The Kids in the Hall now.

A MUST WATCH if you want to LAUGH!

This new version is mixed as is most sketch comedy. Some old favorites have been back, but not all (I've watched 8 episodes). Worth watching if a fan of sketch, they are still funny. But just like all sketch for every one that makes someone spit milk out their nose someone else is scratching their head in confusion. Hope to see some chicken lady before it's over. Glad there was a crushing your head though.

New versions of old hits are always chancy, but these guys have lost none of their comedy skills whatsoever. Except for some physical aging, they're just as effective-and hysterically funny-as they were umpteen years ago.

Loses a point for its "updated" profanity, though. Some people will undoubtedly get their knickers in a twist at this (good) but the Kids don't need F-bombs, graphic language or nudity in their skits. Yeah, it's common these days, yadda yadda, but it's still unnecessary and offensive to a lot of folks. These guys are skilled and plenty funny. They don't have to sink in the sewer to get laughs, as lesser talents do.

A little more riské, still really silly and makes me laugh out loud. The nudity was shocking but hysterical! Love that this is allowed on Amazon.

Proud of the creativity of this Canadian group!

People are saying just for the fans? Im from uk and have a but if a warped, dark sense of humour. Ive never seen the original so can't comment, but i was in stitches at some scenes with 2022 series! One of the most surreal sketch shows ever, and i loved it!!! Im difficult to please humour wise, critical...but i just cant get over this sketch show. Watched all in one sitting...i was confused, couldnt take my eyes off the guys...it was amazing lol. I hope they release more series ..8 episodes are not enough. Ive got to watch all again incase i missed anything. It was also a delight to see 2 older men jumping up and down naked haha...absolutely hatstand!

I LOVED it!

Rude, crude, and lewd. Crass, in really bad taste, but hilarious.

Not for everyone, if you're an old KITH fan you will eat this up!

Still pushing the boundaries of comedy.

I really hope there's a season 2, fingers crossed.

I really loved it. They had enough nods to the old series and Brain Candy to delight fans. It was great revisiting popular characters too. I can't really see people who aren't familiar with the original getting as much out of it, but if you remember and loved this style of humor it'll make you smile and laugh.

I agree with all the rave reviews, I was mesmerized within the first few mins of the 1st episode.

Ridiculous, mind bending comedy that I loved as a kid when it was rated G.

Appreciate it even more now that it's rated 18+ 😈

The kids are back but is it good? Kinda.? The sketches are considerably higher budget and production value, but that make sense with Amazon money behind the new series. No laugh tracks this time around, the sketches are fairly good, although considerably more nudity involved in this series, and like most sketch shows they're good if even 1 out of 5 sketches results in a real laugh. Out of the 8 new episodes there were a couple moments I let out an audible laugh, enough to be worth watching but you'll only love if you're a diehard fan of the original who wants the nostalgia. The random celebrity cameos talking about how much they liked Kids in the Hall each episode also really missed the mark for me. These guys are unfortunately past their prime, but prime is all that would have them.

Even if you didn't watch the old series you should watch this follow up. The humor runs the gamut from juvenile to high brow and they do it seamlessly.

All five kids have returned for a revival of the 90's cult show. Even Bellini has returned. Everybody is older. David and Kevin going full frontal is shocking. It's almost a nod to pushing the envelope. These are five white male Canadians and the question becomes what's new to do. It's also interesting that not all of their most iconic characters are getting a renewal. One can sense that the guys are looking to add to the repertoire rather than doing a simple Nostalgia Tour. If they do an old song, they are likely to add a few new words to the lyrics. The first season has eight episodes and it's unknown if there is to be a second.

While I was a huge kids in the hall fan there is no way this reboot is a ten. It falls somewhere below an average grade. 3-4. If you like KITH go watch the old shows, the production value is lower but the guys had better sketches wth which to work. It struggles to have a couple funny moments. A ten? That means I'm laughing at everything, no way, not even close. I'm sorry the guys wasted time getting together for this, it was better seeing them live. Live accentuated some of their improv skills. This was just poorly written with a big budget. It seemed at times they tried to shoe horn a character into a new joke. Super drunk was a character that was good to see and it worked well live when they did it, most of the others felt manufactured.

Couldn't wait for it to be over, but I love their old show so I forced through.

Forgot it was these guys who imprinted that on my brain. Glad they are back... Prepare and don't be offended. It's not for the weak minded.

Missed this kind of take no prisoners t.v., sadly now everything has become very pc.
