I wish I could find the Kids in the Hall version called "Bad Straight Man" somewhere online, but I can't. It is awesome.

Bad Straight Man

Obtained from: Kids in the Hall FAQ
Transcribed by: Twangtwang@aol.com
Completed from: Comedy Central
Completed by: Andrew Bridgman
Cast:
Kevin- McGillicutty
Dave- Greene
[Kevin and Dave walk onto a stage, Kevin is smiling comically and dancing around a bit, Dave keeps a straight face and speaks very reserved.]
Kevin: Good evening ladies and gentlemen! I'm McGillicutty!

Dave: And I'm Greene.

Kevin: Well, Mr. Greene, it appears we have a conflict of financial interest to settle up to the extent I owe you 10 American dollars bills. But as luck would have it [pulls out a 20 dollar bill] I only have a 20! [thinks for a second] Say Mr. Greene! Would you happen to have change for a 20? That is to say, do you have two 10s for this 20 dollar bill?

Dave: Uh, yes, I do. [Dave reaches in pocket and pulls out two 10s.]

Kevin: Fine then! I'll give you the 20 and you'll give me the two 10s [they exchange money] and we'll call it even! [Kevin smirks]

Dave: Uh, no, actually we've just exchanged equal amounts of money. You still owe me 10.

Kevin: [a little nervous] But, isn't that a 20 dollar bill in your hand?

Dave: Yes.

Kevin: Well, it looks to me like you owe me 10 dollars!

[Dave turns to Kevin with a whiny look.]

Dave: Please give me my money.

[Kevin stuffs the money into his hand and Dave puts it in his pocket.]

Kevin: Just take it! [short pause] Mr. Greene! Guess who I ran into on my way to the theater this evening?

Dave: Who?

Kevin: Rhonda, the former professional hunchback!

Dave: Oh! Did she get her back straightened?

Kevin: No, she's just outta work!

[drumroll]

Dave: [a bit depressed] Awww, so her back isn't better then?

Kevin: [looks nervous again] Nope, just outta work!

[Kevin tries to cue a drumroll; drumroll. Short pause.]

Kevin: Say Mr. Greene, I hear you manage a baseball team.

Dave: No. I'm a vaudevillian.

Kevin: No, I think you manage a baseball team!

Dave: Yes of course, yes I do manage a baseball team.

Kevin: I understand some of the players have rather strange nicknames, rather silly pet names the players have nowadays.

Dave: Yes, it's true. In fact, I have the team roster with me right here. For instance, Hu is on first base, Watt is on second, and Iduno is on third base.

Kevin: Who's on first base?

Dave: Yes.

Kevin: Who?

Dave: Yes, Hu is the man on first base.

Kevin: Why are you asking me; I'm asking you! What's the name of the guy on first base?

Dave: No no, Watt is on - oh, I see what your problem is! Look, you're confused by their names, because they all sound like questions.

Kevin: I dunno (whispers) third base.

Dave: Well, I'll explain it to you. See, on first base is Hu, Samuel Hu, and you're probably not familiar with that name because his grandfather was Chinese. And on second base is Hector Watt, W-A-T-T Watt, and that's not so unusual because James Watt invented the steam engine. And on third base is Phil Iduno, I-D-U-N-O, and if you do say that fast, it does sound like the phrase 'Gee, I dunno,' but it's actually Iduno, Phil Iduno.

Kevin: That's it. You're hopeless, you're pathetic, you're the worst straight man I ever worked with. I quit. I should have never saved you from those seals.

Dave: What are you talking about? I auditioned for this job.

Kevin: Bastaaaard!

It's my favorite KITH sketch
