Really?  All four of you like Bruce the best?  Is Petey getting all of you high?

1) Dave
2) Scott
3) Mark
4) Kevin
5) Bruce

Look, I love Bruce. I do!  Bruuuce.
He just happens to be the fifth funniest one, is all.

I used to think Bruce was the least funny, but now I think he's the best.  Dave is totally funny, you guys.  He just happens to be the most conventionally charming/funny and had the most "cross-over" appeal and Petey has an obvious case of normalphobia. The heavy-leg thing is the worst thing Dave ever did.  Who's the worst?  Without a doubt, it's gotta be Mark.  Not only did he do that "I'm a Cat" sketch, which is like the animal version of Billy Crystal's Blues Man.  Not to mention his blues man character, which is the Mark McKinney version of Billy Crystal's Blues Man.  Not only is he the least funny, he's also creepy.  His performance in Brain Candy is transcendant and awesome, but pound for pound he's the worst.

1. Bruce
2. Kevin
3. Dave
4. Scott
5. Mark

...or KicktheBobo's list works fine too.

2. Kevin

5. Mark

Does Scott have an out of print standup album? I heard his standup on the Uncabaret and it was really funny. But, I can't find anything else other than that. I think I might have asked this before.

2) Kevin
3) Dave
4) Bruce
5) Scott

I'd also like to point out that the only reason Scott is second to last on my list is that I can't stand those Buddy sketches, but I'm not gay, so I guess I just don't get it.  He's actually pretty damn funny.  And yes, the least creepy out of all of them.

Scott is also responsible, if I understand correctly, for those terrible "teens gossiping on the phone" sketches (did those characters have names?).  They stick out because they're the most dated now, in 2008, and they just aren't that funny (to me).  But he was on The Larry Sanders Show, so all's forgiven.

I don't want to rank them, but I always loved Scott Thompson, including his Buddy character.  And his tired, middle-aged mom was inspired.

As for Mark McKinney, well, I really enjoy Slings and Arrows.

I think even Scott would disagree with you all that he's the least creepy.  Mark brilliantly used his creepiness to his advantage.  I love that character Darrell ("Daril!").

Oh yeah, Scott's right up there with Bruce in my mind. "Why Did They Have to Take the Word 'Gay'?" was one of my favorite sketches.

I still have my KITH tour shirt from... when was that? The late nineties? I think I might have been in eighth grade when I saw them. Maybe seventh. I'm not sure.

That was Mark!  FIVE YEAR BAN!!!

Incidentally, there's a sketch on A Bit of Fry and Lori that has that same premise.

In Mark's defense, I seem to remember that in the first one of the his "blues man" sketches, he breaks out of character at one point and acknowledges the fact that he is a white guy doing a racist caricature. I don't think Billy Crystal's character was ever that self-aware.

That's a good point.  And I guess that's the whole point of the sketch more or less.  But it's still painful to watch.

The KITH tour actually rolls through the venue I work at this weekend, so I've helped myself to a few comps. If somebody in the area wants to be my +1 for one of the shows, let me know ASAP.

Oh that is so very good. I've never wanted to see a sketch group reform for a television show more. Technical Mumble Jumble!
