Originally aired on Fuse before finding a proper home on IFC, The Whitest Kids U' Know is the best sketch comedy show you've never seen. Created by and starring Trevor Moore, Zach Cregger, Sam Brown, Darren Trumeter, and Timmy Williams; The Whitest Kids U' Know is often inspired sketch comedy with an edge, and is reminiscent of early MAD TV (minus the laugh track or audience) or more so Kids in the Hall. All ten first season episodes are collected here, and feature hysterical moments such as Trevor Moore showing his musical side with "Hitler Rap", playing a guitar while telling kids how they can get a new daddy, and more besides. Also in the mix are rampant conspiracy theories, a horny deer, different takes on Abraham Lincoln, a demon watching girls play with a Quija board, and a courtroom that falls victim to "opposite day". While there are times when skits fall flat (the face off between the monster truck drivers comes to mind), The Whitest Kids U' Know is a hysterical blast that deserves to be checked out if you've been missing out on it so far. The only disappointment about the DVD set is that more extras weren't included, but despite that, this is still definitely worth picking up for those who have enjoyed the show so far.

I just got into this show and I really enjoy it! Basically, for those of you who don't know anything about this show, it consists of multiple skits within each episode. Sadly you don't get many episodes, I think it's 10 in this complete season. However, if you like comedy, including adult humor(not for kids), and I believe it attracts mainly college student humor, you will enjoy this show as well.

Just when I thought I was too jaded and desensitized to think anything amusing anymore I find 'Whitest Kids U'Know'. These young comedians seem to be tapping into the sort of comedic genius wherein excrement jokes become self-aware and willingly choose to revel and partake in their very nature. They manage to turn stupidity, into ridiculousness, on into true comedy.

Go watch some episodes on [...]. Hilarity will ensue.

Very much worth picking up. The Whitest Kids have a very Kids in the Hall vibe, if you're in to that thing. Lots of fun. If you have never seen them in action before I would highly suggest taking a look at their channel on the Independent Film Channel website.

The whitest kids you know is a mash up of "Kids in the Hall" and "Monty Python". Dress wearing (not many ladies in this show) and crude, their sketches are sometimes brilliant and often offensive, this is the only sketch comedy show on today worth watching. I can NOT recommend this enough.

I must say that in this age of sitcoms and safe writing, the only shows we have to push the limits is Family Guy and South Park. I must say that as good as both shows are I like it when comedy is pushed to the line of cringe inducing and then crosses it. Whitest Kids U Know is a visual adaptation for some of the stuff that I talk about with my friends. The ideas that are presented here in this show are things that friends would come up with to incite a laugh or make someone cringe. I love the Point/Counter sketch as well as Sexy Fawn. This is one series that I can honestly say has made me laugh to the point of tears in every episode. I have since watched some of my favorite sketches several more times and I still laugh just as hard. I often find myself quoting it in normal situations and seeing people react to the quotes. While I did not buy it on Amazon, I searched for months in local stores for a copy, and it so happens that I found it at a movie store. I do not regret spending the 30 dollars to purchase it then.

The WKUK are the most entertaining troupe I've seen. The season one dvds are obviously uncensored, which is nice. Some sketches on Fuse were full of bleeps, like "What really happened to Abe Lincoln." All of the sketches are amazing, but even if you've seen them all on tv, the commentary is a new reason to buy this dvd. It's not typical as far as commentaries go and I think it, alone, is reason enough to buy; it's so hilarious!

For some reason I got this free in my cart even though I had no credit. (lol?) But it would have been worth the money. This show is funnier than SNL. If you like comedy (it's a bit overboard and for some "inappropriate" so take that into account) then you cannot miss this show.

They are this generation's Kids in the Hall or Monty Python. They are geniuses and often had me laughing out loud so hard I had to rewind because I missed the rest of the sketch.

If you're a fan of skit comedy such as SNL, Kids in the Hall, or even Mad TV, then you'll definitely love this.

You can check some of Whitest Kids U Know's more popular sketches on youtube by simply searching for "Whitest Kids U Know" to get a taste of what WKUK is all about, however if you want to get all the sketches from season 1, you pretty much have to buy the DVD (there's too many to watch them all on youtube!)

So I highly recommend buying this if you want to watch & laugh to sketch comedy that is clever, outrageous, and hysterically funny.
