Whitest Kids You Know Robot Hand

The Whitest Kids U Know is an uncensored sketch one-act show that began ambulation on Fuse TV (the former American feed of MuchMusic) in 2007, then switched to IFC in 2008. The cast members are Sam Brown, Zach Cregger, Timmy Williams, Darren Trumeter, and the late Trevor Moore. They're currently virtually famous for the "Slow Jerk" sketch, the "Abe Lincoln" sketch (in which Abe Lincoln is a loutish boor who annoys John Wilkes Booth to the point of assassinating him), and the "New Affair" sketch, which was (without the WKUK's permission) ripped off shamelessly by Budweiser. Virtually of their sketches fall nether the following categories: Presidential Assassinations (with Zach every bit Abe Lincoln/Ronald Reagan/JFK, Trevor as John Wilkes Booth/John Hinckley/Lee Harvey Oswald, Sam as George H.West. Bush/Lyndon B. Johnson, and Darren as a Secret Service officer), Drag sketches (most often with Darren or Timmy as the girl), or just plain weird ones (Saturday, Opus, etc).

They've occasionally come into conflict with the higher-ups of Fuse (the censoring of swearing and sexual content led them to motion the show to Fuse's then-sibling IFC) and fifty-fifty IFC (making them do fifteen-minute-long shows rather than one-half-hour long). But for the most part, they have full creative control of their sketches.
