Here is an excerpt from something I read today:
La Toya Jackson shocked Donald Trump — and viewers — on Sunday’s All-Star Celebrity Apprentice when she decided not to bring villain Omarosa into the boardroom with her. [...]
Despite the fireworks between Jackson and Omarosa — which turned into a heated exchange during which both women stood, cocked their necks and put their hands on their hips, to paraphrase fellow player Lil Jon — Jackson as project manager decided to bring Brande Roderick and Dennis Rodman into the boardroom. She explained that she thought Trump would never fire Omarosa, but Jackson ultimately sealed her own fate and was sent packing. [THR]
I know we tend to stay warmly tucked inside our cozy Justified/Game of Thrones/Breaking Bad/Parks & Rec/Archer cocoon most of the time, but please never forget that today, in 2013, there is a television show where noted loud buffoon Donald Trump “teaches” “business” to washed-up “celebrities” — in network primetime — and therefore it is “news” when La Toya Jackson and Omarosa have an argument over whatever-and-also-I-don’t-care. F-ck television sometimes, you know?
Anyway, here are a bunch of old sketches from Mr. Show, because if I keep thinking about all of this I’ll end up dumping a bucket of water on my laptop and moving to the woods.

We were a bunch of pallies.
Motherfather Chinese dentist!
This, too.
This guy’s taint. IT’S INSANE!
F*CK YEAH THAT WIDE!
One of my favorites.
“Screw it, let’s just watch a bunch of clips from Mr. Show”… I say this to myself all the time.

I played your song Try Suicide right before I tried suicide.
Yeaaaaaa, you’re fuckin parents sued us.
I still think of this every time I go to Disney’s California Adventure and hear “California here I come”

Electric Tie Rack was the high water mark of megaphone crooning.
Pack your bags, gang. We’re going up my mom’s ass!
Too many good ones to fit on one page. Wyckyd Sceptre!!!
Cockrings! Cockrings! Cockrings!
Ol’ Ironsides
Any-cock-’ll-dooo

“Daddy, I’m dying.”. Fucking brilliant.
This and “The Monsters of Megaphone” are my favorites.
Carwash Change Theif Action Squad!
Oh Mr. Show, you were so clever and only occasionally funny! But yeah, still better than 99 percent of the schlock on TV today.
Hey guys, look! A TV critic!
What’s the matter, Dub? Too many of Mr. Graham’s crackers?
Hey, I like Mr. Show, but I think it’s fair to say that most of the skits were more clever than actually laugh-out-loud funny. Though I always enjoy the GloboChem skit.
Listen Mr. Dub, David Cross and Bob Odenkirk don’t come down to where you work and slap the dick out of your mouth.
Ha ha, well played.
Mr. Show was always Pumpkinninny!
This criticism is like a mouthful of sores.
It’s not a mistake, it’s an opportunitystake!
About once a year I bust out my Mr. Show DVDs and relive the magic. That and the Ben Stiller Show were amazing.
I use “it’s perfectly understandishable” fairly regularly in conversation and even work emails.
Three Times One Minus One!. “Damn…”
Sad songs are nature’s onions.
Sorrow is the key that gets our tears out of eye jail.
So glad “Pre-taped Call-in Show” is at the top of the page. It’s probably my favorite thing ever.
“Obviously your elderly grandmother is the problem…!”
I heartily agree – it’s fucking brilliant.

“His name is James Whitcroft……oh, and he wants to have sex with a corpse.”
“And at Fairsley, you can shop comfortably, knowing your children will not be abducted, then shipped off to a Pakistani whorehouse, where they’ll spend the rest of their lives in homoerotic servitude.”
“We have apples!”
“Now the Lord says, ‘I am the light of the world’ when he could as easily just have said, “I am King-shit of Fuck Mountain. WHY WOULD YOU FUCK WITH ME?”
Is it bad I just ignored the article and watched all the clips of the best sketch comedy show ever?
Odenkirk: “Hey this is Peppermint”
Cross: “This stuff is everywhere”
I bust that one out on my wife when she thinks I’m looking at porn. Sadly I’m usually looking here.
So weird to think the guy narrating the second clip later went on to be the voice of Spongebob and the bane of many a sane person’s existence. Love ya, Mr. Show.
Anyone see the Mr. Show movie “Run Ronnie Run”? It’s not the best, and I know David Cross and Bob Odenkirk were less than thrilled with the final cut, but it’s still pretty awesome.
