"Whitest Kids" blow a Fuse
Fuse tonight debuts “The Whitest Kids U Know,” a sketch comedy show that might remind you of “The Kids in the Hall,” only with fewer of those pesky jokes. Here’s a rundown of most of tonight’s sketches (I didn’t write down the ones that utterly bored me):
1) A pregnancy test goes wrong. Short, funny enough.
2) Adolph Hitler’s rap song, “Triumph of the Ill.” A-Hit’s (boy, they should’ve thought of that) not a persuasive rapper, and a mere couple of amusing lines doesn't justify its length.
3) Business meeting disrupted when one guy pulls poop out of his pants. Lame acting, idiot premise, and it just goes on and on and on.
4) AA meeting disrupted by idiot. At least it's short. Still not funny.
5) A buffoonish Abraham Lincoln disrupts a theater performance of “Hamlet” featuring vampires. Starts out sort of funny, gets way bogged down in the middle. Have you noticed that a lot of the sketch ideas concern something getting interrupted by a moron? I have.
6) A deer comes on to idiot hunters. OK, I’ve just surpassed my idiot quotient for a half hour show.
7) A bunch of friends punch and slap one another as part of their “new thing.” OK, I’ve way surpassed my idiot quotient for a hourlong show, even. As funny as those “Captivity” billboards getting taken down around town.
8) Song, “Get a New Daddy.” And “The Whitest Kids U Know” almost redeem themselves with this incredibly tasteless but pretty funny music video. Expect it on YouTube any minute.
- “The Whitest Kids U Know:” 8 tonight (11 ET), Fuse.

David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
