A hilarious late night comedy show that aired on HBO in the mid-90s. The show's style could be described as "satirical comedy for Generation X...with Abe Lincoln jokes." It was a launching pad for the careers of David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Silverman, Brian Posehn, that gap-toothed guy from Best Week Ever that isn't Paul Scheer, and the greatest comic to ever live: John Ennis.
Plus, in this writer's experience, chicks dig Mr. Show more than chocolate and romance novels.
Frat Guy: Hey, did you see Mr. Show last night?
Sorority Chick: Did I?! That John Ennis made me laugh so hard I peed my pants!
Frat Guy: He's our generation's Tom Arnold alright! Do you wanna go to the bathroom and make some tongue children?
Cue fellatio

Mid- to Late-90s sketch comedy, aired late nights on HBO. Created by Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, who began collaborating while working on <i>The Ben Stiller Show</i>. Part pre-taped show, part live performance, <i>Mr. Show</i> was praised for its willingness to break with conventions and follow its own twisted muse, launching the careers of Odenkirk, Cross, Jack Black, Tom "Spongebob Squarepants" Kinney, and other alternative comedians.
Mr. Show freakin' rocked. Did you see the one with "We're Earthlings, Let's Blow Up Earth Things"? Genius.

The greatest, most genius TV show ever known. It's cast and writers are heroes to the world of comedy. Not enough good things can be said about it's 4 seasons and 30 episodes. I was lucky enough to see the live version of this show when it came to Vancouver, and I was also lucky enough to get their autographs.
Mr. Show with Bob and David can't be fucked with.
"Today we're going to... SHAKE THE CRIME STICK!"

The show in class that the English teacher makes less about her studentsβ grades falling, and more about her own experiences about herself falling. Literally.
βLadies and gentlemen, the Mrs Johnson show!β
