Whitest Kids U Know Season 1

153. The Whitest Kids U Know Season 1


The Whitest Kids U Know is a sketch comedy show from American comedy troupe of the same name.

The Whitest Kids U Know consists of Trevor Moore, Zach Cregger, Sam Brown, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter. The group started at New York's School of Visual Arts in the year 2000. It was an officially sanctioned club at the school so they were a bit hampered by the school's rules. Once graduation came in 2003, they officially separated from the school and began working the comedy club circuit. In 2007, they began airing a show on the cable network Fuse TV. This dvd set is from that particular season.

The 10 episodes collected here are really solid. I've been a fan of sketch comedy for as long as I can remember, always loving The Kids in the Hall. In tone and spirit, these guys come extremely close to the high standard that the KitH set years before. Given time, I'd like to think that they can become as widely known as KitH are. Particular highlights here are the sketches Triumph of the Ill (Hitler Rap), Hey There Kids (Get A New Daddy), Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth. I'd say a good 85% of the sketches overall are pretty damn funny though.

For fans of sketch comedy, you really can't go wrong in checking out this season set. It's 10 episodes contained on two discs and in most instances, can be had for under 20 bucks. I recommend this one.
