Mr. Show	comment	Mr. Show with Bob and David was a highly influential Sketch Comedy series starring and written by Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. The show aired on HBO for four seasons (1995â€“98).It is noted for its edgy, cynical, and oftentimes cruel sense of humor as well as the way the sketches would transition into each other, much like an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The show filled its ranks with performers and writers from the alternative comedy scene, and served as a career springboard for many up-and-coming comedians. Due to airing on a premium cable network, the show never obtained a great deal of popularity, and was eventually dumped into a poor time slot before getting canceled. However, the show earned a loyal cult following and has proved to be one of the more influential comedy shows in recent decades.After its cancellation, the show was spun off into the feature film Run Ronnie Run, starring one of its recurring characters. The film spent years in Development Hell before getting dumped straight to video.In 2015, the show received a short-lived Revival on Netflix in the form of W/ Bob and David, which reunited a large portion of the original cast.Not to be confused with The Mr. Men Show.

Mr. Show / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: After two guys get into a fight at a bar ("I'm in it for the long run, I'll marry your stupid ass!"), they get married and spend their marriage insulting and fighting with each other. After one of them finds out the other lied, they briefly separate, apologize and make up... then resume fighting until one of them dies as an old man.

Mr. Show / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Bob Odenkirk's God is a very thinly veiled impression of New Hollywood movie producer / 70s libertine Robert Evans. Daffy "Mal" Yinkleyankle, which Weird Al actually praised in an e-mail to Odenkirk. Blueberry Head is a not particularly kind parody of comedian Carrot Top. Sid and Marty Krofft are parodied as Sam and Criminy Craffft, who produced a controversial children's show in The '70s called The Altered State of Druggachusettes. In the "Teardrop Awards" sketch, Willips Brighton and Horace Loeb are very thinly veiled versions of Brian Wilson and Eric Clapton, respectively. Marilyn Monster is obviously Marilyn Manson. The band Smoosh, comprised of brothers Ian and Clive Shropshire, bears more than a passing resemblance to Oasis and brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.

One sketch has a news crew reporting on a roller coaster that's killing people, to the point where people are leaving town and boarding up their doors to try to get away from the roller coaster. Naturally, when the news crew is reporting from the line, all those people are there and waving at the camera.

Mayostard, a bottled mayo-and-mustard combo, goes to absurd lengths to suggest that getting sandwich spreads from two different bottles is an unbearable waste of time and effort. Then a competing product, Mustardayonnaise, enters the picture. Then the post-credits gag introduces Mustmayostardayonnaise, because having to apply Mayostard and Mustardayonnaise is such an enormous time sink, it will cause you to miss your daughter growing up, graduating college, and then growing older than you and dying.

When characters think someone is dying, they let them fill out their goal and offer praise and attention for free, but feel cheated when they find out the person isn't dying. Said person suffers from "Imminent Death Syndrome"—it's also used as to describe how all sorts of "talented" successful people supposedly suffer from the disease as a Take That!.

In the end, a guy is shown missing out on the important moments in his life because the process of spreading mustard then mayonnaise was simply too time consuming. The first GloboChem sketch features Janeane Garofalo as a woman who simply can't organize the bags in her kitchen, shouting, "Help me!" at the camera. The solution is "bag hutch," a box to put bags in. The writers had to change the name of the product because "bag box" was already the name of a product that did the exact same thing.

"Legend of the Third Wheel" has one with David Cross's song "Change for a Dollar," a sketch entirely composed of convenience store employees calling their superiors to authorize a request for change and making noises as they think. David eating the pretzel in the Intervention sketch. Indomitable Spirit trying to explain to Bob's character why he was kicked out of the band. "The Audition," in which David plays an actor whose audition is asking if he can use a chair for his audition.

He even writes a song for Brighton's son after killing him, and then reveals post-mortem that he made one for himself, too. "Good News" towards Cure Your Gays organizations.

At first he's asked standard questions ("Have you ever drank alcohol to excess?" "Have you ever taken an illegal drug?"), but then he's asked even more outlandish and improbable questions. The applicant, who always answers "Yes" to every single question, begins confessing to being addicted to every hard drug ever known, stealing "space plans" from NASA, killing a man with his mind, and eating a train piece by piece after derailing it with his penis. All the while, the machine's silence indicates that he's telling the truth. At the end of the test, the interviewers, revealed to be employees of a shoe store, hire him. The applicant says he loves shoes. BZZT.

As comedy sketches are often hard to end on a high note, this arguably helps the show. However, the writers have noted that they sometimes had to spend just as much effort figuring out how to link sketches in this way as they spent on writing the sketches themselves.

Mr. Show / int_ea5c413d	comment	Biting-the-Hand Humor: The commercials that Bob and David made to advertise their new time slot of Mondays at midnight criticize the shittiness of the slot. In one commercial, David asserts that the show will try to infiltrate the homes of Americans while they aren't watching. "Mondays at midnight! A busy work night when everyone's asleep. Who watches television on Mondays at midnight? Exactly!" In another, Bob and David try to decide when they'll get together to create Mr Show. David suggests Monday at midnight, and Bob likes it, because that way it will be "just for us!" A Season 1 episode ended with a fake network promo for "Creepy Peeping Videos," an exploitative hidden-camera show—of the type HBO commonly aired at the time—featuring John Ennis in drag as an abusive nanny. In the very first episode, David transitions out of a sketch to start bitching about the fact that HBO only gave them enough budget to film in a restaurant rather than a real studio, saying that they "spent more on Fraggle Rock!" He then transitions back into his sketch dialogue.
