Holy fucking shit, people. I knew this was coming at some point this fall/winter, but TODAY IS THE DAY. The second coming (of sorts) of the genius Mr Show with Bob and David is up on Netflix! Like, fucking now!!! Trust me, you don’t have anything better to do. You just don’t.
A favourite sports-themed sketch from the original HBO show:
That’s life for ya. A representative will always come by for the potato soup. Also, here is a review of the new season. Damned link function never works:

I crushed them all this morning when I realized it was up. Great stuff.
True story:
I saw Bob and David live at The Town Hall in NYC a couple years back. We sat right up front for the show about 2 rows off the stage and on the aisle. It was basically a dream come true for me. All of the sudden about a half hour in, Brian Posehn popped out from the shadows with a ski mask on and said something along the line of “get the fuck up you fucking shitheads and come with me!” My friend and I and a girl we didn’t know got brought back stage and handed scripts. They were in the middle of doing a knockoff of Mr. Show wherein they wore big caricature heads and hammed up old lines from the show. We got lines from the Titannica sketch. They brought us out and we all got to read one line. Mine was “Yea your fuckin parents sued us”. Then David came out and insulted us. The way we were dressed, etc. Afterwards I blacked out for a minute. I think I went to hug Bob. Posehn dragged us off stage. Still one of the best nights of my life so far. Don’t know if it will ever leave the top 5.
If I could only go back in time and do it all over again….
Two year Cowboy degree, ftw.
Bring the THUNDER!
