#i've been out of my hatchetfield hyperfixation for a while but i still enjoy vibe checking everyone i know in a fake casting

[magentagalaxies]

time for another extremely niche post aka my current hyperfixation as a crossover with my previous hyperfixation! anyway here’s who i would cast each of the actors from KITH as in a hypothetical production of TGWDLM:

paul matthews: dave foley. tbh this one i almost can’t explain but the vibes are just so strong in this casting. like just judging from the types of characters dave plays on KITH he could definitely pull off the “increasingly confused average dude just trying his best” role (best example: first chicken lady sketch), and also judging from the amount of characters dave has played that are like “murder!!!!” he would do great with the last few scenes. hell even look at his range in the “treatment” sketch bc that’s basically the let it out scene. wait actually this is perfect someone get me a time machine so i can see 90s dave foley in tgwdlm

ted spankoffski: bruce mcculloch. this one isn’t as complicated, i just think that ted is literally the same character as cabbage head. genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if the performance was slightly based on him tbh

bill woodward: kevin mcdonald. again idk how to explain it but he could absolutely pull off bill’s panicked dad energy

professor hidgens: mark mckinney. tbh i didn’t make this connection at first (i was literally about to press post with scott and mark’s roles switched) but then i was like hold on mark could absolutely pull off this reclusive-mentor-slowly-revealed-to-be-batshit-crazy vibe.

mr. davidson/sam/general macnamara: as i said before i was so close to putting scott as hidgens but then i realized no no no that’s thinking small. i could literally name mouth congress songs that correspond strangely accurately to each of the songs in this track, and oh my god imagining the what do you want paul scene from this hypothetical production would make me lose my shit. alternate universe 90s canadian production of tgwdlm >>>>
