A satirical skit from the comedy TV show Saturdaynight Live. It has gained notoriety in the gothic scene since it often contains inside jokes about spooky kids.
The skit stars Azrael Abyss - The Prince of Sorrow (Chris Kattan) and Circy Nightshade (Molly Shannon) who are two teenagers who have a low budgeted cable access TV show called......GOTH TALK.

Below is a transcript of one of the shows:
(Station Identification Bumper fades in)
Channel 33: Sunshine State Cable Access.
(The Theme Song swells dramatically.)
The bats have left the bell tower... [from Bauhaus' song Bela Lugosi's Dead]
SHANNON: Welcome to Goth Talk, I’m Circy Nightshade!
KATTAN: And I’m Azrael Abyss, the Prince of Sorrow.
SHANNON: Prepare yourself children of the night, tonight we are going to take you spiraling DOWN DOWN DOWN into the ecstasy of the unearthly!
KATTAN: The ecstasy of the unearthly! Weeeeee!
SHANNON: But we have to be quiet because Azrael’s brother Glenn came home wasted from a beach party, and he’s hiding out behind the couch until The Prince of Sorrow’s parents go to sleep.
BREUER: *singing* She’s got legs! And she knows how to use them...
KATTAN: Glenn, you’re ruining our dark spell!
BREUER: Shhh-za Yo! I was doin’ it that loud?? I’m sorry, listen, listen. I’ll be hiding under here, okay? Be cool.
KATTAN: Agghhhh! Anyway...
SHANNON: Let’s begin our decent into madness with a Goth Talk concert review! Azrael.
KATTAN: Last Saturday, I saw a new Goth band called "The Grim Reaper" And theirs is a morbid elegy to the horrible squallow of life... I think. Actually I missed most of the show when I accidentally dropped my retainer. I spent most of the time looking for it on the floor.
SHANNON: So, if you were at the show Saturday, and have found a most demonic retainer, please return it to the address below. *Address Flashes*
KATTAN: I had it wrapped in a napkin, if I don’t find it my dad’s going to kill me! Rrrraarrr! Our guest tonight is the goddess of the Goth seen in nearby Orlando. She hosts her own show, a cable access show, it’s called, "Black Magic Kingdom."
SHANNON: She’s a dark destroyer of men and empires... and we used to go to tennis camp together.
KATTAN: But her family moved away last summer. Rrrrrraaryyeee! Please welcome-
BOTH: Countess Cabuella!
KATTAN: Come on in... Come on in... Come on in... Come on in... Come on in...
SHANNON: It’s a dark, dark delight to see you again Cabuella! There’s been a void in my soul ever since your dad got transferred to that marketing job in the Hardrock Cafe.
GELLAR: Yes, Circy, parting is such a fiendish little slice of death! But Countess Cabuella was actually pretty phyched to get out of Tampa. Orlando is much more sinister.
SHANNON: Well, Tampa’s pretty sinister too! It’s at least as sinister as Clearwater, or Tarpon Springs!
KATTAN: Ooooohhhh! Yes! It’s very sinister! They just opened a water-slide park downtown, a very macabre water-slide park!
GELLAR: Don’t make me laugh! Ha. Orlando is much more sinister. Tampa’s Goth scene is lame. It’s pretty much just you two and that weird guy Azriel works with a Cinnabuns!
KATTAN: Gordy’s a creature of the night!
GELLAR: No, Gordy is a 32-year-old Eagle Scout that rides a Huffy!
KATTAN: Eeeeeeeyaaaaa!
SHANNON: Well, Cabuella, we can’t all live in Orlando and do dark things like work part-time at the Epcot Center!
GELLAR: I only do that to pay for the clothes, Stephanie!
KATTAN: Ooooo-Eeeee-Ooooo-Yeeeeaaa.
SHANNON: My name is not Stephanie! It’s Circy Nightshade, Denise! And anyway you can shove Orlando! I’m a hundred times more Goth than you are and I always have been!
GELLAR: Yeah, you were real Goth when you modeled pajamas for Pic-and-Save.
SHANNON: Oh, yeah, well you sure were the Dark Mistress of the Night when you... lip-synched to Ace of Base in our 8’th grade talent show!
KATTAN: So, Countess Cabuella, you’ve brought a clip of your show with you. Does it need a setup?
GELLAR: Sure, this is a clip of my show: "Black Magic Kingdom," a show about real Goth. Something Circy wouldn’t know anything about.
SHANNON: Well let’s see then...*Inserts Tape* Behold: The voluptuous horror of Cabuella.
~Tape: *Cabuella sings to "Ace of Base"* "All that she wants, is another baby. She’s gone tomorrow! All that she wants, is another baby. Yeah..."
SHANNON: Uhhhh, huh! Yeah, you were really Goth, Cabuella!
GELLAR: You #*$%&!! Where’d you get that?
SHANNON: You’re the #*$%&!!
GELLAR: You’re a #*$%&!!
SHANNON: You’re a #*$%&!!
KATTAN: All right, the evening has come to a close-
BREUER: Oh man! My car! I left my car...
KATTAN: Until next time...Stay out of the daylight!
