"What would comedy be without taboo? Fortunately for The Whitest
Kids U' Know, a quintet of New York 20-somethings, there are still
plenty of taboos to break, and in a series of squirmingly hilarious
skits, the group riffs on date rape, domestic violence and racism,
(finding) a fresh angle on even the most heavily exploited forbidden
topic of Adolf Hitler." - New York Times, January 27th, 2006
The Whitest Kids U’ Know have spent the last two years writing
and performing a new show every week in New York City's Lower East
Side. Their hard work has paid off earning them their own FUSE
TV series, premiering March 20th,
and their self-titled
debut album, available March 6th from What Are Records?
No taboo is safe from the Whitest Kids' no holds barred brand of
comedic skit and song. On their self titled debut The Whitest Kids
U' Know touch on everything from date rape ("We Gon' Make Luv")
to the more conventional and only slightly less offensive penis
joke ("Beautiful Penis"), not to mention the opening track
(“Welcome”) which will stop even those with the loosest
social constraints dead in their tracks.
The Whitest Kids U' Know have an extremely popular web page, getting
3 million unique visits a month at one point, and have become one
of the most successful features on Collegehumor.com. They also won
the Jury Prize at the Aspen Comedy Festival for best sketch comedy
troupe in 2006 and have been highlighted in Variety as one of the
top 10 "Comics to Watch For" in 2006.
