The Whitest Kids U' Know - Season 3



The Kids returned this year with twenty new half-length episodes, working out to provide as much content as either of the first two seasons. The show's not quite as fresh as it was at first, but it's still a lot of fun to watch. One of the things I respect is how they end the skits. If you ever watch sketch comedy, you know the hardest part about writing a skit is ending it. Saturday Night Live is infamous for not knowing how to do it, and almost no one gets it right. The Whitest Kids find a good punchline often enough, and when they don't they're not afraid to just let a bit end or completely turn it on its head to finish it. Watching it alongside Monty Python's Flying Circus made a lot of it sort of pale in comparison, but there were still some really funny sketches like the player in an online shooter who doesn't turn off his headset when he's talking to his mom, the introduction of water balloons in the wild west, and Shoshon: The Elegant: The White Tiger King. I'm not sure about the show's future especially since they're already branching into movies with the apparently not very good Miss March, but I'd be up for some more episodes if they make them.
