From DVDFile:
The Bob & David website has just announced that HBO Home Video will release Mr. Show: The Complete Third Season on August 12th. According to the site, the set will include the usual "annoying audio commentary with the full cast and writers blathering endlessly, apologizing, celebrating their own minor achievements." Additional extras include an appearance by David Cross as the "Hot College Comic" at the HBO Aspen fest, and more. Retail is $29.95.
The only thing/show that has made me laugh hysterically more than just a few times is this show.
Discuss.
Quote from: Grand Epicthing show
Actually, that sounds pretty scary!
:P
It's okay, and Run Ronnie Run sucked in my opinion. David Cross' standup is awesome though
Run Ronnie Run was definately a disappointment.
On an unrelated note did anyone catch Martin and Orloff? its the Upright Citizens Brigade movie, and its fucking hilarious. I was at the NY premiere, good times were had.
Run Ronnie Run being a disapointment was the reason they abandoned it.
I'm just not going to accept it as an actual movie (even though that's one of the best characters they have) and choose not to ever see it.
Mr. Show Season 3 this August... I'm psyched.

Season 3 has my favorie episode, "The Return of the Curse of the Creature's Ghost."

I must see this one day
I dig Mr. Show. But I like Upright Citizen's Brigade more. :(
"Run Ronnie Run" wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't as good as the show. The problem is they tried to make it more about the storyline and the character of Ronnie Dobbs rather than just cramming in random bits of funniness, which is what they're good at. It was more like a SNL movie than a "Mr. Show" movie. But there's several scenes in it that are hilarious, the "gay conspiracy scene", the Three Times One Minus One music video, Jack Black's "give her a kick in the c*nt" scene.
"Martin and Orloff" was better because they didn't really have a script. They developed the scenes through improvising, like Christopher Guest does with his movies. So the movie was really just a series of skits strung together with a thin storyline, rather than trying to hinge everything on a plot that no one cares about.
how did anybody even see run ronnie run?

Finally on DVD is the Mr. Show movie Run Ronnie Run! Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 surround, extras include deleted scenes, the "Three Times One Minus One" music video, lots of hidden Easter eggs and trailers. Retail is $24.95.
Where'd you find that? There's no mention on the Bob and David website and it's not available on Amazon or Netflix.
However "Let America Laugh" will be released soon.
Quote from: RegularKarateWhere'd you find that?
Oops, sorry, forgot to include the release date. I found it at DVDFile.com. They say it's set for an August 4th release date. This site (http://www.ronniedobbs.com/) says different.

does david cross go 3 second with out slipping into a efimitive southern voice
its a one trick pony
its like julia sweeny on snl, she only had one character pat and all her other characters were none variations on the same fucking voice
how many episodes of mr. show have you seen, sir?
Quote from: sphinxhow many episodes of mr. show have you seen, sir?
enough, and more then a few
::sigh:: i have friends who go to college
i dunno maybe that was harsh for me to say that ALL of the people who like that show are sad
but a lot of sad people love that show, and they hate stuff that is really funny
ya know people like our very own lester
he is a very sad human being
Dude, no offense, but you really don't know what you're talking about. "Mr. Show" is one of the most inventive and funniest sketch comedy shows since Monty Python. If you look at 99.999 percent of what is produced as "comedy" on television today and then look at "Mr. Show", there really is no comparison. David Cross does not do an effeminate Southern voice in every Mr. Show sketch. Bob and David rarely repeated characters, I think they did two separate characters maybe twice in four seasons worth of shows. You would be hard pressed to even find an individual Mr. Show sketch that is similar to another Mr. Show sketch. The breadth and scope of what they did on that show blows away anything that's on TV now, certainly current period SNL. All Mr. Show fans I have ever encontered are pretty discriminating about their comedy, they are usually people who seek out material that is different and challenging. I would hardly call them people who "hate stuff that is really funny". What do you consider funny? Maybe that will shed some insight into all of this.
Unless you were just trying to post something controversial to get people riled up, in which case well done.
Mr. Clause posted something similar on the old board when he was someone else who changed his name all the time.
All about the "gay souther voice"... to which myself and many others replied. Letting him know how wrong he was... evidently he hasn't watched it since, otherwise he would note that he was indeed wrong and maybe have to admit he didn't know what he was talking about.
My favorite thing is the "Imagineering" guy and the New San Francisco sketch... which I believe all took place on the same show... classic.
Can't wait for season 3 DVD. Missed 'em all the first time 'round.
Tofooty break!
Quote from: bonanzatazTofooty break!
...and then the crushed/angry/confused expressions of people who just want to do their work... :lol:
"all these goats are retarded"
"have a circus peanut."
and "i like to call them OPPORTUNITYSTAKES"
Hell yea that show rules. I'm one of the people that got into it with the dvd...never had hbo when they were on. I just thought david cross was so funny and I heard bob odenkirk was funny so I decided to buy it really really blindly and I just ended up loving it...it's better than snl and especially Monty Python which I think is horribly overrated...I'm too stupid to like Monty Python.
My favorite stuff is any of the stuff w/ music...I think David Cross truly has a surprisingly great fucking singing voice...I love "the joke:the musical", "the third wheel", "fuzz:the musical", and "jeepers creepers"...they are hilarious and cool to listen to.
Anyway, can't wait for the next seasons, I kinda like not knowing what to expect but are they as good as the first two?

every episode's better than the last.
Has anyone heard if and when season 4 will be on dvd??
the commentaries are being recorded by the end of this month
good news. thanks
I heard David Cross was releasing a new album today. Has anyone heard anything about this? There isn't anything on bobanddavid.com. A new David Cross album would be awesome.
You're about 2 weeks early

So, I got my copy of "It's not funny" early. Last night. It even came with a sticker signed by David Cross.
It's funny... it's an extended version of the act I saw him do at SXSW, but a lot tighter, really.
My only complaint is that it's more heavily political. He's good at the political stuff, it's just material that doesn't stay as funny as long.
Overall, it's still really good and funny and he hasn't "lost it" or anything, but it's not as good as "Shut Up you Fucking Baby"
i like the political stuff, so thats cool for me. I'll be picking it up on tuesday. shut up you fucking baby was great cause it was more of a rambling as oppose to a written comedy routine. I hope its not funny is the same way.
4's got mike mckean.
Warner has today announced Mr. Show: The Complete Fourth Season which is the late-night series that pays homage to the sketch-comedy tradition of Monty Python and Saturday Night Live, then launches into it's own eccentric orbit of social deviance and political incorrectness. This new two-disc set will be available to own from the 21st September this year, and should retail at around $34.98. Each of the episodes will be presented in 4:3 along with English Stereo tracks. Extras on the set will include ten audio commentaries with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, deleted scenes, a music only track and outtakes.
I've been watching a lot of the Mr. Show DVDs lately. I only first saw it this year, so I'm a Johnny Come-lately for this show. It's damn funny. Mustmayostardayonnaise had me cracking up. So damn absurd.
I love how the sketches blend into each other. There's very little material that doesn't work, and whatever doesn't work doesn't last long anyways.
i hope most of you have stumbled across this already.

I finished watching the DVDs (they went by too fast). What a terrific show. Brilliant, brilliant writing. And they show a keen awareness of pop culture staples without merely referencing and parodying them. Popular music, Cops, movie trailers, infomercials, commercials, political ads, self-aggrandizing award shows, even obscure stuff like John Philip Souza and 1920s music stars. With the Beatles lookalike sketch, for example, it wasn't just a parody of the Beatles. It was a satire on their fame in a ridiculous situation. And because they didn't do sketches about celebrities and pop culture and politics of the day, the episodes don't date easily.
The format of having the sketches lead into one another offers an easy way out of the pressure to end a sketch on a high note and prevents them from going on too long. Sketches are only as long as they have to be, since there's no pressure to fill time between commercial breaks. The only recurring characters I could recall were Ronnie Dobbs and the British guy with the beard (in the same sketch). It was those characters in a very different context and not a rehash of the same jokes.
Even though they referenced Cops, they did so much more than a parody of it, with Ronnie Dobbs becoming a celebrity, who, at the end, literally couldn't get arrested. The only disappointing reference was the James Lipton sketch, since even SNL and Mad TV have done those, and he's such an easy target. The dualing Gibbons Market/Fairsley ads was amazing. They did sort of repeat that concept with the political ads later, but it was quite different, and was still damn funny.
Why was Mr. Show cancelled?

Because it didn't get good ratings once HBO moved it to Monday nights at Midnight.
Odenkirk on Mr Show Movie
Source: Moviehole
Second City Comedy Troupe vet Bob Odenkirk talked to Premiere this month about a possible big-screen venture for "Mr Show".
"David [Cross] and I have a written a Mr Show movie", the director of the forthcoming "Let's Go to Prison" says. "That's really my kind of humour, and David and I are good friends and want to work together again. Hopefully, we'll get to make the movie in the fall".
I love how they act as if Run Ronnie Run never existed.
Lots of people do that.
Odenkirk, Cross returning to HBO
Hollywood Reporter
March 21, 2008
The "Mr. Show" duo of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross are returning to HBO with "David's Situation," a new comedy pilot starring Cross.
Odenkirk and Cross co-wrote the project, which will star Cross as himself. He leaves Hollywood to move into a suburban, gated community where he has two roommates, a right-wing conservative and a liberal hippie.
"We feel it's really strong and important to the health of America," Cross and Odenkirk wrote about the project on their Web site, BobAndDavid.com.
Odenkirk will direct the pilot, which is slated to film in May. Odenkirk and Stu Smiley will executive produce, with Dionne Kirschner serving as producer.
The pickup for "Situation" comes 10 years after Odenkirk and Cross' late-night sketch comedy series "Mr. Show with Bob and David" bowed out after four seasons on HBO.
fock that's great. although i hope it's not like almost everything else odenkirk has directed.
Can't wait! :yabbse-thumbup:
That TED Talk parody should be pretty great. Odenkirk looks like a homeless Thom Yorke.
Episode 1 is weak, Episode 2 is very good, and Episode 3 is excellent. Definitely stick with it.
Only seen episode 2 but the interrogation scene was classic Mr Show. I'm really glad this exists. I hope they can find the time to continue making these, since Netflix seem so flexible. Even one episode every 10 months or whatever, doesn't matter. Just take their time with each and send them out sporadically. Why the hell not, right?
I agree. They're all really busy now, but Netflix gives them that flexibility.
Episode 1 feels like it was written by someone else, then suddenly they're back with Episode 2. And you're right, the interrogation sketch definitely made me think "okay good, this is exactly the same show."
i love the intro sequence. so enjoyable .
I also love the opening credits. Mesmerizing.
The fourth (and last) episode is a bit underwhelming. But I don't really mind, and I love the salesman sketch.
"A child in jail is a hug waiting to be set free!" ... a clear successor to "Sorrow is the key that gets your tears out of eye jail!"
The making-of doc (episode 5) is fascinating. It's bizarre to see David Cross being so sincere and subdued and serious, even. Also, half the show appears to have been written from Odenkirk's tossed-off improvisations. The man is a true genius.
Bob was so great in that Salesman sketch. He's perfect at playing characters bursting at the seams, barely keeping it together. Haven't changed their clothes in days. Also, who else does a Mayles parody in 2015? Brilliant.
"I got these damn sweat glands!!"
I keep scrolling by this show in Netflix because I haven't heard enough chatter about it to warrant a viewing yet, but you two have said enough to at least get me to watch ep. 2.
