Almost Live (Seattlites represent!)

[Orsorum]

Who here remembers Almost Live? Seattle-based, low-brow comedy show that ran for 15 years. Some of the funniest things I've ever seen on it, short of David Spade, Dave Chapelle and Eddie Izzard.

Oh, and if you can bring any quotes, I'd appreciate it.

I thought had like 1 funny thing per show. I thought it the humor was too simple and obvious. Making fun of the smell of Tacoma never got old though.

Kent and Renton were easy targets.

I think my favorite sketch was either Billy Kwan or Speed Walker.

Wait...was Billy Kwan the kung-fu guy who would always do a kick, but end up flying around for several seconds before he actually found a target?

Hahahahahahaha! That was the best show ever. It used to come on when I was younger, and I guess I never made the connection with Seattle, because I'm from DC, and that's where I watched it.

I remembered this skit, but had forgotten the name of the show, and thought no one else would ever have heard of it. I'm glad to know I'm in good company.
