Mr. Show with Bob and David: Genius or Overrated?

have a Catholic uncle who lived in Tennessee his whole life and constantly took shit for it, according to him

I never got too much shit for it, but I did get tired of the "Why do you pray to Mary?" questions.

i had a kid check my head for horns, so i don't care if this guy wants to rant

??!!

Holy crap, really? When was this?

junior high

he didn't really mean anything by it is the thing. just general ignorance.
also me and my sister were regularly told by kids, teachers and kid's parents when we visited their homes that we were going to hell since we hadn't accepted jesus into our lives, both subtly and straight up explicitly

i remember buying my first car with my parents and it was from a friendly good ol boy and the whole process was great and he was a sweetheart right until we got down to the payment and my dad told him he appreciated working with him on the price and the guy said "well you weren't jewing me down or anything it's alright" and we all got very quiet, he bought my car with the money from my savings bonds and we left. put a damper on the excitement, i tell you what

so again, i have no issue with this guy bitching about shitkickers; feels like he's within his rights
i made my peace a long time ago with that stuff but i ain't about to tell him what he should and shouldn't be complaining about

Thing is, it aint even shitkickers he'll go after

david cross hates every single person in the world and thinks its awesome is more the criticism

i think i still have all my vhs tapes where i taped each episode. watched them so many times. i don't even know how i knew to tape it. i don't remember reading about it or anything. but i never missed a show. so inspiring. felt like it took forever for the DVDs to come out.

yeah I had VHS tapes from a friend, which we subsequently copied - this was around '97 or so (I didn't know anybody at the time who actually paid for HBO)

wow the audition really is kind of a perfect lil scene

it's always funny

i really did do this. it was my only test to see if we were compatible.

When Scott and I first started hanging out, one of the first things he played me on his t.v. was his Mr. Show videos. I think he was really relieved when my sides were splitting and asked to see more. We might not be married today if I had hated it.

i never could have married ned raggett! sheesh, he really didn't like this show when i look upthread at ancient posts. smashing pumpkins fans are unpredictable though...

if I had to pick a single Mr. Show sketch to save in a fire it would def be "The Audition" which is just perfect from start to finish.

I was staying over at a friend's house in the mid-'90s and, having no idea what a Mr. Show was, we happened upon the Bob Lamonta sketch while flipping through channels. Probably still one of my hardest laughs of all time. And yes, once I was exposed, it really did feel like forever until those DVDs were released.

my shoes hurt too

is a thing I still say to my wife

My shoes hurt too. My shoes hurt ... too.

I have a similar story... I got cable in the mid-90s, stumbled across "It's Great. It's Crack. It Gets You Really High" and thought it was the greatest thing since vintage SCTV.

thumbs up to all of this.

I took old school fuzzy iron-on letters and made a tshirt, ca. 2000, that said "five inch taint." I wore it exactly once out in public and then felt ridiculous about it and tossed it.

They were really good at those deeply iterative bits that really pushed the boundary of how far they could take and repeat the same joke -- The Audition, Mt. Everest, Pre-Taped Call-In Show, shitting on the flag, etc. Each iteration brought something silly and new, so they could keep running with it.

24 is the highest number

Look out, Moon
America's gonna getcha
Gonna go Kaboom
Was nice to have metcha
Cuz you don't mess around
with God's America

hey mr. monkey don't be asking why
cos you know you can't mess with American Pride

We're earthlings, let's blow up earth things!

that monkey sure took the fun out of everything

watching david cross' stand up is like watching troy dyer sing "add it up," in a "fuck, am i that guy?" kind of way and i automatically sympathize with the michael grates point of view even though "add it up" what i think i'm all about

I think of this whenever Noel Gallagher says something stupid/funny:
