After the end of The Kids in the Hall, there was one last project that the eponymous troupe wanted to perform: their own feature film. Brain Candy was the result.Released in 1996, the film tells the tale of one Chris Cooper, a pharmacist who works with his love, Alice, trying to create the world's greatest antidepressant for his employer, Roritor Pharmaceuticals. It also details the lives of several people with serious mental and emotional issues — like death metal musician Grivo and repressed homosexual Wally Terzinsky — who eventually get put on this new antidepressant, called GLeeMONEX. The drug is rolled out as Chris pushes it to keep from getting fired. And at first, everything is comically okay.Until it's revealed just why you don't want to rush an antidepressant out the door.With mixed personal sentiments about the film, the troupe went their separate ways until their reunion in 2000, subsequent tours in 2007–08, the 2010 Death Comes to Town miniseries, and their 2022 revival. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Don Roritor is heavily based on Mark McKinney's imitation of producer Lorne Michaels. Also counts as Biting-the-Hand Humor. Grivo may be a parody of Glenn Danzig - at very least he shares Glenn's hair style, goth/metal image, and tendency to go shirtless. | |

The Artifact | |
| Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The reason why everyone starts pointedly referring to GLeeMONEX as "The Drug" is because that's what the film's title was supposed to be. It got changed after filming and before release. No one ever uses the phrase "Brain Candy." | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
| Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: GLeeMONEX works by bringing someone's favorite memory to the forefront, enabling them to get past their depression. It eventually causes it to get stuck there... immobilizing folks as they remember their favorite memory in a loop. | |

Black Comedy: The entire plot is about folks using antidepressants until they're too blissed out to do anything. And one of the troupe's darkest bits of comedy, Cancer Boy, is brought back for the film (he's actually not on the drug; he already blithely accepts his imminent demise). | |

| Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy / int_3104d34 | comment |
Suicide as Comedy: In a flashback, we Chris’ motivation for creating the drug: a young Chris’ depressed father comes home, asking if Chris cleaned the house while he was away… including the gun. When Chris answers in the affirmative, Dad trudges into the house, and after a few seconds a shot is heard… followed by Dad yelling in pain that he shot his foot. Another shot is heard, followed by Dad yelling that he shot his other foot. Chris then says that his dad finally got a vital organ… two hours later. | |

| Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Dave Foley's characters are noticeably much fewer in number and more incidental to the plot than those of the other Kids. This was a side effect of Foley having effectively left the group at the time of the movie's production and not taken part in most of its writing. | |

Happy Place: GLeeMONEX works by forcing its user into this, making them recall their happiest memory. The problem comes when they later prove unable to leave. Inverted in the last scene, when Chris Cooper figures out a drug that forces the user into their saddest memory and can break them out of their GLeeMONEX-induced happiness coma. | |

Wimp Fight: In the second act climax, the wimpy Dr. Cooper and the effete Don Roritor engage in an childish brawl. First, Cooper slaps Roritor's accusatory finger out of his face about twenty times in a row. Finally the pair awkwardly grapple and push each other for a few moments. When they finally break away, they're humorously flustered and gasping for breath, as if they'd been through a war. In a later scene, Roritor wears an outlandish full-arm splint for his injured finger. | |

Foreshadowing: Chris is probably at his apex when he comes out to present an award and the MTV Music Awards. The song they play to bring him out is "Spiralling Shape" by They Might Be Giants, a ditty about how folks' lives are ruined by some mysterious object that drives them insane and happy. Things start to fall apart shortly thereafter. | |

No Control Group: Averted and discussed for laughs, as Brendan Fraser's cameo appearance figures out that he's part of the control. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: More like "Drugs Are For People Who Really Need Them," people who don't have it in them to so much as get out of bed in the morning, not just people with a couple of daily gripes like missing a bus or running out of milk. | |

Expy: While almost no characters from the Kids in the Hall's sketch show are featured in this movie, many of its characters resemble some of the series' most recurring ones: Mrs Hurdicure, as a cheery elderly woman played by Scott Thompson who is largely ignored and taken advantage of by her family, is Fran from the Gordon and Fran sketches. Alice, as a doe-eyed, flighty lady played by Bruce McCulloch, is Kathie from the Cathy and Kathie sketches. Wally Terzinsky, as a mustachioed, seemingly straight-laced businessman played by Scott Thompson that gets dragged into absurd situations, is Danny Husk. Grivo, as a long-haired anti-establishment rocker played by Bruce McCulloch, is Bobby Terrance. Cancer Boy, as a chatty little boy with an unusual speech pattern played by Bruce McCulloch, takes on the characteristics of Gavin. Worth noting that Cancer Boy is the only one of these mentioned characters to have actually appeared in the series. | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor | |

Don Roritor is heavily based on Mark McKinney's imitation of producer Lorne Michaels. Also counts as Biting-the-Hand Humor. | |
