Angered Hussein Makes 'Kids In The Hall' Reference During Trial

It was a tense scene in an Iraqi courtroom Tuesday as a Kurdish villager retold the story of the attack of his village perpetrated by forces of Saddam Hussein.

"Congratulations, you are in a cage, Saddam," witness Ghafour Hassan Abdullah said as he stared at the ousted president.

Hussein later lashed out at "agents of Iran and Zionism" in the courtroom, called them "flatheads," and vowed to "crush all their heads." He then proceeded to close one eye and, using his thumb and pointer finger, made the motion of crushing the heads of various people in the courtroom. "I'm crushing your head," he madly chanted all the while.

"Crushing your head" is a reference to the character Mr. Tyzik from the Canadian sketch comedy show 'The Kids in the Hall.' This show ran from 1989 to 1994 on CBC, CBS, and HBO and can now be seen in reruns on Comedy Central.
