The funny thing is that Dagmar was one of those forgotten 1950′s celebrities, so that’s meta obscure.

This was my first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muHZM5G_-YU
I was lucky enough to catch it when it was first airing on HBO, then taped all the CBS and comedy central re-runs. Then I was on the A&E email list so I got each of the seasons as soon as they came out on DVD. They usually had some kind of promotional item. The fridge magnet poetry is set is sadly long gone, but I do still have the “TV rots your brain like crack cocaine” trucker hat.

It was the first KITH sketch that I ever saw. My roommate and I were channel surfing, got caught up by the zydeco music and ended up as KITH junkies. It was on YT about a month ago, but has since been flushed. Or buried by unguessable tags.

It’s at least partly because he uses the scheduler for posts.

Holy shit, that is uncanny. If he’d mentioned gold, it would have sealed it. Nice hidden Fox in there. It’s all so clear now….

Dammit man, so many props for the obscure Zappa reference. Love this album. Love this song. You won the internet for the day. Don’t break it.

Personally, I think the Kids in the Hall are prettier. ;-)

What, no Dave Foley in drag? Too attractive for Fox newcasters?

It’s the weird, eclectic things that keep me coming back to BoingBoing. I don’t mind that by the middle of the week, it becomes more of a feminist blog than anything; however, the thing that initially drew me in to BoingBoing was the irreverence for the establishment and the offbeat things the editors brought up.

And Dagmar
(Without a doubt, the ugliest sonofabitch I ever saw in my life)
was his name
(One two three four)
The whiskers sticking out from underneath of his pancake make-up
(And yet, he was a beautiful lady)
nearly drove you insane
(Lets talk about leather)
And so you kissed a little sailor
(Tex Abel, starring in the latest Shepperton production)
who had just blew in from Spain
(Sir Richard Pump-a-loaf)

His blind date with The Chicken Lady was also memorable.

In college, I got to see a production of King Lear with all of the roles played by the opposite gender. The group that put it on had many more women than men, hence the switch. Most of them were so good that after a while, you completely forgot about the swap.

What did Kids in the Hall do to deserve it?

Wait for it. I have it on good authority that the punchline will be a doozy.

Shepard Fox is a bit more of a Twin Peaks/Reaper guy.

As each day passes, I become more convinced that Fox News Channel is the most elaborate performance art ever devised.

I love the one where Scott is shot and Dave just sighs dejectedly.

Marlove and Fnordlus pretty much nailed it. I'd say another corollary is that while you are fairly likely to have sketch groups of all men, necessitating some dress in drag to play women, the general sexism of the entertainment industry would make it almost completely unlikely for there to be an all-female comedy troupe where members have to dress in drag to play male characters. Laurie Anderson's "Clone" and "Fenway Bergamot" characters might be exceptions to this general rule.

Further “proof” that this whole thing is a simulation.
