I grew up watching the Kids in the Hall and I honestly think that Scott Thompson helped change peoples outlook through his comedy sketches. I personally love the guy and still enjoy watching Kids in the Hall with my daughter now.

I had a lovely breakfast with Scott Thompson on an Amtrak train last month (May 12, 2015) from DC to Chicago. I had gone to breakfast late and they sat him with me -- just him and me together for an hour. I told him a little about my career and I asked he what he did, I fully expected him to say he was an accountant. I was shocked when he said he was a comedian. I had never heard of him before, nor Kids in the Hall. He told me all about his cancer and since I am a medical writer/editor, I was happy to listen. I took a selfie of us together. He was a wonderful conversationalist and breakfast companion but not at all funny nor did he have any gay affectations at all. In fact, I had no clue he was gay until I looked him up later on Wikipedia.

Had to come back to this sketch after reading the Buddy Cole autobiography and seeing him mention his first acting role on a science fiction movie-sure enough it was the exact same movie he mentioned in this sketch! That book is a masterpiece btw, sure some of the continuity is changed but the small details like that are so fun to pick up on and it's so funny I haven't been able to put it down

As a New Yorker by origin, THIS, 💯% Watching this sketch, in New York in the 90s, all I could think was - "Hey, I rep-resent that!" ... Yeah, it's an old overused joke, but, I'm not a ... _Cannaaaadian._ So, my humor repertoire is much more limited than Buddy's. 😉

There is something about the way buddy Cole says blousy blonde that makes me know that everything is okay with the world

It’s been a while since I’ve watched kids in the hall but it’s amazing how LGBT friendly they were

Lots of very talented people tried to do (pretty much) this character long before Scott went for it: but nobody did it better than Scott - before or since.

This was the first Buddy Cole I ever saw when the show was playing in the 80s and 90s. Brilliant.

"Lucky I didn't blow my popes nose" by far my favorite line in this hilarious monologue. Buddy Coles finest.

"Millennium" is on Netflix all this month. Scott Thompson has a non-speaking role (but a close-up!) as a generic console operator in the future control room when the 1963 airplane's tail is pulled into the time gate.

***** I spent a couple hours with him as a film premier party wound down. He's 90% Buddy Cole. He was living in a shitty apartment in a horrible neighborhood. His friend asked him to watch a small dog, and he saw the opportunity as a connection to the real world, so he accepted. The moment he put the little dog out the back door, it got away through the fence and disappeared. Scott went to the crack house across the street, and reluctantly knocked on the door. A guy opened a tiny slit in the door and said "What do you want?" Scott said "I lost my little dog". The guy threw the door open and said "Hey everybody! The funny fucker from TV from across the street needs our help. We gotta find his dog!" The gang fanned out, and brought back the dog. Scott hadn't ever introduced himself. The crack dealer had just recognized him from TV.

Just bought all the seasons to this show, loved it when I was younger. Scott is the man!

I just checked IMdB and Scott Thompson is indeed in the movie 'Millennium' as "controller"!

A CLASSIC! This is truly one of the funniest sketches I have ever seen. Bravo Scott!!

An absolute masterpiece from the one and only Scott Thompson!!!

Probably seen this skit 100 times...and every single time, I laugh so much I always cry..

*These guys are comedy genius.*

I love Buddy Cole!

My god this show was so ahead of it's time, when he says that "Straight people think that being gay is just a phase", this was the late 89 to mid 90's.

This show is so great! It's a part of my good times era.

Scott was a trailblazer, man. A strong and smart gay man on the national broadcaster, long before wokeness.

A very looooong phaaaaase.

Trailer Park Boys rock! I've been watching KITH since I was a little kid. I always liked it better than SNL. Canadian comedy is the best.

CLASSIC. Thanks Scott

Holy cow!!!! I love love love it!!!

He did this all in one take too

actor...singer...dancer...model...Canadian LOL

I met Scott once he was soo awesome and very nice it I still have his autograph!

I just looked thru the top 30 or 40 comments & there's not a single mention of the fact that Buddy blew his nose with the Canadian flag. That's kind of the joke, really, that our nationalism is moderate & that we try to embrace a range of perspectives. That 4 seconds of performance is a marker for the ways in which we are not like our friends/frenemies to the south.

Scott Thompson is one of the funniest people I've seen in a long time. Since i have already seen other members of KITH on tv in the past several years. It's time for Scott to make a reappearance on american tv.

Bless Buddy... I miss him.

When I die I WILL come back as a Canadian. I'm also forming the "let's leave the confederacy and take our lakes to Canada" movement.

I’m glad that they did. In some respects some stuff was not seen as edgy back then. For example, it’s really only fairly recently that “faggot” really got recognized for the pejorative that it is. It was used pretty freely in the 90’s and decades previous to it. This show is still ahead of it’s time.

I was 10 years old when I saw this sketch and I thought Buddy's character was how all Canadians were,lol.Mind you I was only 10.So whenever someone mentioned Canada or Canadians to me I immediately thought of this character.And yes,I know most Canadians aren't this "camp".

"smart cocktail" I will use this now
