2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1

Cancer Boy

Cancer Boy
  • Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
  • A controversial character from the Kids in the Hall film, Brain Candy, Cancer Boy was just what he sounded like: a young boy with Cancer. Played by Bruce McCullough, the character straddled the line between parody and poor taste and apparently caused Paramount (who was distributing the film) to not get behind the film. Cancer Boy may have been memorable, but was it for the right reason?
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Brain Candy (1996)
  • Actors: Bruce McCullough
  • Songs you may remember: Whistle When You’re Low
  • Why you should vote:: Chances are you never forgot the character.
  • Why you should not vote:: It was not much of a Rock and Roll character, and again many found it in poor taste.
