The black-and-white sketches are always the most important. MY PEN. MY PEN. MY PEN. MY PEN.
Look, I know I’ve been hard on Kevin in previous installments, and I’d like to take a second to praise his eyework in this scene. That dead expression on his face — you just know this is a motherfucker who’s never going to return your pen. That’s the face of a man who’s beyond caring about the rules of society.
Remember that scene from Marathon Man where the old woman recognizes Laurence Olivier from the concentration camp all those years later on the streets of New York and very slowly staggers after him for what feels like hours? This has exactly the same level of tension, which is pretty tricky to pull off.

This is one of those episodes that pops into my head any time it may be even tangentially related to the current situation. Walk into a bank – think of the skit. Encounter a flagrant pen thief – skit. That particular Bruce-whine – skit flashback.
Yes! kids in the hall has the corner on banking-related flashbacks for me. MY PEN and FUCK THE BANK!
When Bruce does his little tongue-sticky-outy thing, my heart melts a lot.

I am so proud every Monday when these gems are unearthed for new viewers. Trust the Toast to see that they were doing things on KitH in the 90s that would probably not get on network tv today.
Bruce’s hair. And his BIFOCALS.
“The black-and-white sketches are always the most important.”
Does this mean we will see Sausages soon?
I also hope to see “each day we work” show up on KITHM.
