- “Headcrusher—Rival” Mark McKinney’s famous headcrusher Mr. Tyzyk appeared in Kids in the Hall’s very first episode, and became an instant hit.

- Cabbage Head: Restaurant. Cabbage Head is a jerk. And why wouldn't he be? He's got a cabbage for a head. He smokes cigars and he's an abrasive womanizer. Played by Bruce McCulloch, Cabbage Head makes his first appearance on a date with a lady (Kevin McDonald in drag) in Season 1, Episode 2.
