I would argue that this is the height of the “second golden era” of Saturday Night Live.  I know every last one of these songs, too.  Best moments: the neigh in “The Devil Came Down From Georgia”, and the way Bobbi sings “black hole sign-ign, won’t you come…”

Geneaology of a running gag

By Matthew Rutledge on 08/31/2009

I might be the only non-Australian (or one in a million!) who has seen enough Australian TV foot­age to actu­ally have gotten the refer­ence while never having “been there”, so to speak. It’s still totally god damned hilari­ous, even if you don’t have the full frame of refer­ence.
SBS, by the way, is some­thing akin […]

I’m eusing eumah!

By Matthew Rutledge on 08/30/2009

I could write academ­ic­ally as to why Kath & Kim is perhaps one of the witti­est, most subvers­ively bril­liant comed­ies to spread across the British Commonwealth, but I’ll just let the jokes speak for them­selves. This is from Series 3.

It’s the Kenny Everett Screenshot Video Show-whoa!

By Matthew Rutledge on 07/31/2009

Kenny Everett: b. 25 December 1944 – d. 4 April 1995

Herein lies the brilliance of Kath & Kim

By Matthew Rutledge on 07/26/2009

The amount of jokes they throw into each epis­ode is shock­ing, shock­ingly good that is.  I can watch an epis­ode ten times or more and then during the elev­enth, or thirty-seventh, or 892017th view­ing, discover yet another play on word or subtle joke.
