Crave original series shaped by Kids in the Hall member McCulloch is a punchy blitz of often edgy humour
One of the more subtle differences between the two shows, however, is the length of the sketches. A typical, 11 sketches are squeezed into 20 minutes at breakneck pace. “They’re frenetic,” McCulloch says ofcreators Cunningham, Jonathan Popalis and Mike Veerman. “That’s just the way their brains work.”
It is the way most everybody’s brains work today. Such things as theatre, pop songs and baseball games are shorter now, and attention spans are narrower. “I call it TikTokification,” says Cunningham. “We kept that in mind. We didn’t want to hang around too long with the sketches.” The result is a punchy blitz of often edgy comedy that includes bathroom humour, Robert De Niro laughs, banana-peel fun and vasectomy gags. The show, which bears the influence of Netflix’sn and, yes, the veteran McCulloch and the rest of the Kids.
“I grew up watching them,” says Cunningham, 40. “Before them, I thought you had to be silly, like Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. The Kids in the Hall made me realize you don’t always have to be begging for laughs to get a laugh, and that sometimes you don’t even need people to laugh at all.”by another of the show’s executive producers, Max Kerman, lead singer of Hamilton-based rock band the Arkells.
