I've been watching mr show for 20 years at this point, still cracks me up every time I see it. Just 100% pushes the sketch over the edge from really funny, to outstanding.
The part where David almost decides to start something with another man at a bar, but decides not to at the last minute and walks away always kills me. Gold
Apart from the funny premise and execution, that simple "My life!" at the end makes me think of this sketch as kind of a profound statement on wasting one's life. It's easy to get carried away with anger and ego only to look back and realize you've accomplished nothing.
They weren't turning it into a "hallmark card", it's a deep thought about the focus of one's life and choices made that are the foundation of using something as petty and ultimately meaningless as anger will give you.
My wife and I quote this to each other all the time. You would be surprised at how well it defuses tension by letting the other person know, without condescending to them, that your heart isn't really in the argument at hand, and that you are willing to at least try something, even if you don't agree with it, and let the results speak for themselves.
@@Peremptor I am! I remember this. Your reply does make more sense too lol. Did you know that one of the actors on this show was part of the Capital Insurrection? I can't remember his name but he was the tall guy with short hair. He was the one who climbed mt Everest in that sketch.
@@DonkeyBoyVids I was also a big Saul Goodman fan too. Vince Gilligan said on his podcast that he was a fan of Mr. Show and that he needed Bob to play that part. After having success with that casting he started hiring more comedians like Lavell Crawford and Bill Burr. It was good morale on the set as well getting like a free comedy show during breaks.
I love this sketch. I love the way Bob Odenkirk mowes the lawn ANGRILY at 1:19! Bahahaha! It's a pity they weren't able to work the version of the song "Walk through the garden of hate with me, eat rotten fruit from a shitty tree" (that Bob Odenkirk sang in a Tiny Tim-like falsetto) into the sketch. It's included on the DVDs.
@@desktorp When this comment was first posted one could find the entire Mr Show series up on youtube. I know that's where I first saw it and a lot of shows back in the day. :P
Moral of the story: you can get so caught up in ego and being right that you lose time. In this case a lot of time lol...then again you can gain love without realizing it too.
I have absolutely NO DOUBT that the writers of Key and Peele are fans of Mr Show. I think any writers on an edgy comedy show around 2013-ish would be.That they would lift this bit and just change the premise slightly is really shitty. Can't believe I just now found this.
Honestly, who cares? The joke is basically the same, but it's got different furniture. It's their own version. Shit man, why can't people just have two different versions of the same sketch, like a song cover? People who know will always give big props to mr. Show for doing it first but in the end everything is derivative and inspired by something else, so try to just relax and have a laugh.
@@TheGreatsagegoku Exactly. Mitchell and Webb also did a British version of this where an aristocrat mistakenly believes his valet is a romantic partner because of the years of dedicated service and personal attention. It's very British, and completely hilarious. Nothing wrong with giving homage to the greats and Cross and Odenkirk are all time comedy greats.
Most Mr. Show skits are really more suited to be called 'short films.' "Great Seeing You Again Guy" actually started as one, and the last skit of the first episode, Ronnie Dobbs, literally was a short film.
"Bartender....[looks around for five seconds with increasing incomprehension]...more life" ...sublime! In a way I can't quite understand, Bob Odenkirk reminds me of Montgomery Clift in this sketch.
Whoa! That ending kind of hit me in the brain. What am I wasting my time on while life is passing me by? Wait! No, wait, I remember what I am wasting my time on. Never mind. I'm a loser.
The part at the end where Odenkirk says "Hey bartender...oh...My life" raises this sketch to level of brilliance. I laughed my ass off at that part.
I've been watching mr show for 20 years at this point, still cracks me up every time I see it. Just 100% pushes the sketch over the edge from really funny, to outstanding.
Probably wasted the rest of his life spreading mustand and mayo from two different jars.
@@Lylelanley99 Mmmm, mom you used separate jars for mustard and mayonnaise.
@@Lylelanley99 Are you a 2 jar slave?
@@Mechadondada Spreading my life thin.
Bob's angry mowing will never not make me smile.
Every time I see the angry mowing I howl.
Its so hot my mustache wont stay glued on when I have to angrily mow the lawn.
he is the god of comedy!!
His crying face too
Readin' don't never not done nothing for not nonebody. Never not no one, didn't about no reason not never. And by God they never not ain't gonna will!
Now this is a real marriage.
Stupid bastard you, I get tired of listenin' to you...
You know what, actually, fuck you. Making fun of that Progeria kid like that. Grow the fuck up, douchebag.
the last line is the realest part
The part where David almost decides to start something with another man at a bar, but decides not to at the last minute and walks away always kills me. Gold
It's a brilliant joke. He was so close to infidelity, but he managed to stay strong!
That "Here's your fuckin' lemonade, asshole!" has been making me laugh for 18 years since I first saw this sketch.

the words in my brain in text. saved me the trouble, ty lol
dww2002 perfectly said my friend
Or worse yet, accomplished something that you didn't really want.
dww2002 please don't turn a Mr. Show sketch into a Hallmark card.
They weren't turning it into a "hallmark card", it's a deep thought about the focus of one's life and choices made that are the foundation of using something as petty and ultimately meaningless as anger will give you.
This is actually a very accurate retelling of how Bob and David met
no I'm eating a sandwich
@@birdlawco "I blame the sandwich."
They weren't nearly as jacked as they were in this sketch though.
This sketch has a hilarious premise, but that ending is existentially heavy shit.
YOU'RE da heavy shit.
Yeah I have never seen comedy like this.
Agreed.👍
Isn't it great how they always have the sleeves cut off? So funny.
I love that the Boston Southie girlfriends went to the wedding anyway. Big hearts.
Fackin' guys.
Karen Kilgariff of "My Favorite Murder" podcast fame lol
I thought this was Philly tbh
@@thereagauzeOdenkirk is doing Chicago
Love that both sets of parents are super psyched
This sketch is weirdly wholesome...
... Until the ending. And then it's terrifying.
The way the blonde says facking guys is magical.

oh yea, chicken shit?
I am 100% going to do that
cammameil zzzzzzzz
You guys make marriage seem kinda cool. I hope y'all last.
They're kind of a cute couple in their own way
My favorite part of this whole thing is the Angry Lawn Mowing
A more stable relationship then most families in American today
*than
*than
Pinche pendejo
I mean…the fact that not a SINGLE person actually got hit. Is this sci-fi?
This whole skit is a 4 minute setup to the most brilliant punchline ever
I love how Bob's father is younger than him lol.
I think that was just 2 friends that came over because they show two old couples as their parents at the wedding honestly I got confused too at first.
Oh cool I replied 13 years later hope you're still around Tom :D

Lol. Classic! Love how the two girlfriends attended the wedding in the same clothes, drinking the same beers.

LOL
One of the greatest sketches ever. This and story of Everest
The Story of Everest is so damn good
@@markwyman6753 it's the story of the story of everest actually
Bob’s sleeveless old man sweater in the end 🤣👏🏼
OMG I never notice that LOL

I wonder what Bob’s up to now.
@@desktorp When this comment was first posted one could find the entire Mr Show series up on youtube.

😂😂😂
The update that included the time stamps is probably just a few years’ worth of Patch Tuesdays back.
The way David Cross breaks down and cries is always hilarious!
3:57 how you feel after having a long online fight with a 14 year old online.
An online fight online?
so...how im supposed to feel every day?
Haha I know I've been on the wrong end of that one brother!
this is masc4masc culture
This is why I can't take love-hate relationships of any kind seriously.
And more than 2 decades later, Bob is an action star!
Drama, not action
@@stanleymasterson1135 watch Nobody (2021)
@@birdlawco gawd I love that movie
"Chicken shit... COME BACK!!!"
I love at the end when he snaps out of it and utters, 'Oh, my life'
Hilarious
I took this comedy for granted when I was younger.
We didn't know we had it so good haha.
The nurse at the end is Flo from the progressive ads. Her agent (manager? I forget) is Bob's wife.
She's at the beginning too as the waitress.
Flo's hot
That chick has some serious DSL going on.
Also on Mad Men
Soulvei blah, no she isn't.
their marriage is actually so wholesome to me
"Oh... my life!" is so existential

2: Never drive angry.

Greatest love story of our time
Love that they cut off the sleeves of their wedding suits
This skit packs more in 4 minutes than a lot of movies Ive watched.
The fact that Bob is wearing a button-up sweater like an old person but with the arms cut off at the end always cracks me up, lol.
I love that even their old man sweaters have the sleeves cut off.
Lol the best part is the parrents all happy at the wedding.
One of my favorites from mr. show.
I think this sketch has a profound message, basically "don't waste your life fighting"
Stf ü chicken sh t
You'd think that, but they did waste it on nothing but fighting, and look what a life that was!
@@aerozub makes me wanna go start something right now :,)
The hate sex gotta be intense
😳😳
The little train under the Christmas tree... gets me every time.
My life...
Fighting in their sleep lol
Moral of the story: you can get so caught up in ego and being right that you lose time. In this case a lot of time lol...then again you can gain love without realizing it too.
That’s some mature junk right there. Lol.
This show deserved syndication. Mr show is hilarioussss
"my life!" is my favourite punchline
People who never watched Mr Show back in the day sounding so surprised now upon learning that Bob is indeed an actor par excellence ~
Doing the "angry lawn mowing" bit never fails to make the neighbors and the gf laugh...
This was so ahead of it's time i love it
Sometimes when i mow the lawn I do it like Bob for a couple of seconds.
Also, lol @ Bob afraid to get hit at 1:38. Never noticed it before!
The sleep fighting really makes it happen for me
I’ve always been a big fan of both of them. Loved David Cross in Run Ronnie Run too. This skit was great.❤
still a better love story than twilight
The wedding ring placed on the upraised middle finger...
I agree with several others. " My life
" is a perfect ending for this sketch! LMAO
"... my life..."
hahaha best line ever
I love that line! LMAO....reality finally set in. Haha
Imagine your OTP...
One of my favourite sketches, so many to list, include ventriloquist dummy East Coast West Coast war, rap off, fruit vendor sketch
“Fackin’ guys.”
Best sketch show
A searing commentary on the neurological effects of wearing torn sleeve shirts.
2:16 "chicken shit come back!"
Got a good laugh out of me
I will always think of my best friend and best heart as a child when I see this. This and Potato Salad by Kids in the Hall 😂
"how did you guys meet" "well, we were at a British themed bar, you know a REAL shithole when we bumped into each other..."
Rare 90's Flo from progressive as the nurse in the end
The acting in this is amazing
I have absolutely NO DOUBT that the writers of Key and Peele are fans of Mr Show. I think any writers on an edgy comedy show around 2013-ish would be.That they would lift this bit and just change the premise slightly is really shitty.
Can't believe I just now found this.
+Jimmy Jamestown Massacre Key and Peele ripped off Mr Show? what sketch is that? :0
Crips and Bloods get married
I’d say they also ripped it off for the boxing sketch.

when they say enemies to lovers they never explore the possibility of the lovers still being enemies
This is how David passes away in real life in my mind.
When two guys are a couple like real men.
Most Mr. Show skits are really more suited to be called 'short films.' "Great Seeing You Again Guy" actually started as one, and the last skit of the first episode, Ronnie Dobbs, literally was a short film.
I LOVE the way he mows the lawn!! "Fuckin' lemonade asshole."
How the hell did I never know about this show 🤣🤣😂🤣😂😁 "Bartender, Oh my life"😂🤣😂🤣😂😁
It should have said "Home Sweet Fucking Home" on the wall frame.
'Chicken Shit!!! Come back!!!!' Man these guys were a riot!!
My favorite skit from this season.
Holy shit that's hilarious. Almost nearly died laughing at the end.
love is fleeting, but hate is forever.
Thanks for sharing this. Now I gotta watch the whole show.
"Bartender....[looks around for five seconds with increasing incomprehension]...more life" ...sublime!
In a way I can't quite understand, Bob Odenkirk reminds me of Montgomery Clift in this sketch.
The perfect relationship
i need this so desperately
Sleeveless cardigan: A+
arrested development sadly became really popular after its cancelation. trully a brilliant comedy show. mr always put a smile on my face too. love it
I love that they order a sidecar and a daiquiri at a dive bar.
This was genuinely heart-warming.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
What a great time capsule~ I remember when that comeback was hot for a few months back when y'all watched Twilight.
Greatest Comedy Show EVER
I love this sketch as both a satire of toxic masculinity and antagonistic heterosexual relationships.
@@jordanwalker8867 What else could possibly be the joke here?
The hell happened here?
"antagonistic heterosexual relationships."
how do u know they didnt actually bang
@@darrinsiberia r/iamverysmart
it's clearly just a skit they wrote out from the line "i'll marry your stupid ass"
Fucken' gyes
Whoa! That ending kind of hit me in the brain. What am I wasting my time on while life is passing me by? Wait! No, wait, I remember what I am wasting my time on. Never mind. I'm a loser.
THIS IS ACTUALLY KIND OF SAD
"Or untill one of us dies!"
It took me too long to realise the other bloke was David Cross
So basically, like every marriage.
