Mr. Show

They now have all 4 seasons in a box set.

If you like David Cross or Adult Swim cartoons or satire. Buy this.

This is THE smartest and funniest show to ever come to television.

Especially if you smoke.

Are you kidding me? This show is pathetic. Once in a while they do something funny, but it's still usually pretty weak. Monty Python...Kids in the Hall...and a few others are examples of smart and funny shows that are the same type of thing. This show is the lowest common denominator.

I can't comment about it being funny if you're stoned though~

mr show is tight. id take my show over monty python or kinds in the hall any day of the week.

One of my favorite shows of all time. My favorite skit would have to be the Teardrop Awards and the "Mouthful of Sores" song. Good shit.

It helps to have higher level thinking skills.

Mouthful of Sores is classic, although Kedzie Matthews is quite possibly one of the best characters ever invented.

The TAINT magazine skit was hilarious.

You are seriously saying that it takes high level thinking skills to enjoy this show? If anything I'd say it takes lower level. This shit is not 'smart' comedy at all, whether you like the show or not.

youre not smart comedy

I guess an '05er wouldn't understand... go back to your "comedy"... Kedzie.

It is smarter comedy since every skit in that show is making fun of something. If you don't know what they are making fun of, it is easy to find it not funny.

BTW, just cuz they have british accents doesn't make it smart comedy.

Shut the fuck up. Register date has nothing to do with anything on any subject.

Btw, I never said British comedy is smart because they have British accents. Not sure where you got that from.

That's a shame because Red Dwarf and Are You being Served are the fucking pinacle of comedic genius.

Some of David Cross' humor is EXTREMELY subtle, dry and sarcastic, yet hilarious. It certainly takes a certain kind of thinking to find him funny, and that kind of thinking would tend to be from more intelligent people, but I wouldn't call someone stupid for not 'getting' it.

Some of his standup material that I have busted out laughing at, it seems 3 people in his audience found funny, then 5 seconds later another 10-15 people start laughing when they get it and the rest kind of nervously laugh to fit in.

well said.

also my comment on british accents is because many people generally tie british accents with intelligence.

And you are also right that what date you registered doesn't matter, but I decided to take it anyway.

Jack Black also (i'm pretty sure) got his start on Mr. Show. "Jeepers Creepers: Semi-Star" and "The Joke: The Musical" are HIGH QUALITY Jackson Blackson.
