The Whitest Kids U'Know is an American sketch comedy troupe based in New York City. The group consists of Trevor Moore, Sam Brown, Zach Cregger, Timmy Williams, and Darren Trumeter, though other actors occasionally appear in their sketches. Some of their sketches can be downloaded from their official website . They were accepted into the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in 2006 and won for "Best Sketch Group" by the Jury. They continue to do weekly shows at Pianos on Sunday nights at 8pm for free.
The Fuse network began airing a TV show of the same name starring the Whitest Kids U'Know on March 20, 2007. Jim Biederman (producer of The Kids In The Hall) is the executive producer. It aired Tuesdays at 11:30pm on Fuse. Much of the content had been heavily edited, some skits even re-shot entirely, for television. Audible bleeps took the place of vulgar obscenities.
On July 12, 2007, Trevor Moore posted a message on the Whitest Kids U'Know's official website stating that the second season of the Whitest Kids TV show will move to the Independent Film Channel. According to Moore, they are excited about the channel switch because this allows for no commercial breaks, vulgarities and obscene content uncensored (with no bleeps or blurs), and "If you get the FUSE network - odds are you get IFC. So everyone who already watches the show, still can!" . Season 2 premeired on IFC on Sunday, February 10th, 2008 at 11 PM ET/PT.
Popular sketches include "Pizza Bagels," "Abe Lincoln," and "ipod shuffle." Recently, their sketch "Hitler Rap" has received a great deal of distribution online. Their video for "Hey There, Kids" (aka "Get A New Daddy") got airplay on comedy music stations and video airplay on Fuse. The popular sketches were remade due to product placements, quality and content.
Switched Networks from 'The Fuse' to 'IFC' after the first season
During the 'Monster Truck' sketch, everything in the room was breakaway material so everything had to be filmed in just one take. Trevor Moore (VII) actually hurt himself when he tried to jump on top of the bookcase.
