i'm not ashamed to admit that David S. Pumpkins is the hardest I've laughed at a comedy sketch in like 20 years

It feels like almost cheating to post Mr. Show. There was a documentary about the Dana Carvey Show recently, I think it was called Too Funny to Fail. I have it to watch, and remember hearing decent things. Never saw the actual show, personally.

Of course I already posted probably one of the simplest best sketches ever made on a show with Pre-Taped Call In Show but there were tons of other classics like The Story of Everest, Blowing Up The Moon, The Audition, Change For A Dollar, and so on. One that rarely gets brought up though is one of my personal favorites just because of how dumb yet genius it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne0RrK5qJ-k

Yeah that documentary is solid (might still be on Hulu) and it made it sound like the show was actually quite decent but was the victim of insanely bad brand management and time-slotting.

The best part of Mr Show is that it could drag out a miss (like change for a dollar) until it became a hit, then transition to the next one as soon as the joke would stop working.

I remember my mother being extremely unamused by The Story of Everest because of the repeated pratfalls (I know in the dvd commentary, the cast said even the audience got fed up with the sketch). She just didn’t appreciate good sketch comedy.  I loved how the sketches would ‘roll’ into one another, like The psychic hotline bit ending with the Dalai Lama saying ‘I’ll be reincarnated?’ before dropping dead, and it just goes right into the ‘slacker becomes the next Dalai Lama’ sketch.

I wonder if they would still do the rolling clip thing in today's world of needing everything to be easily clipped for YouTube.

Yeah I was gonna mention Bob and David, but it's essentially a continuation of Mr. Show and I think they had to include that element really. If they were designing Mr Show from scratch, it might be a different story. Watching Pre Taped Call In show, and just picked up the first caller says "Great show," despite the fact it's never been anything other than a completely disaster.

Like the ventriloquist one above, it didn't even hit me how dumb CDs of a ventriloquist act is until I had already seen it a few times. There were so many other absurd and laughable things in that sketch that I somehow missed how stupid that in particular was.

Agreed that Pre-Taped Call-In Show is top 10 sketches ever. I also think this is one of mine: https://youtu.be/JZidRrI0m1k The Birthday Boys is so desperately, insanely underrated.

I never really liked SNL live at any stage of my life but I really enjoyed watching the old episodes on Comedy Central and E as a kid and I laugh at plenty of sketches on Youtube now. And ultimately I think I've realized that its not a question of liking a certain era or cast or anything but rather just me not actually enjoying watching a 90 minute live sketch show on Saturday night but enjoying plenty of the good stuff when edited down like every other sketch show I enjoyed. Who would have thought editing out the bad stuff makes things better?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj-D0jc17D0 I was crying so hard I had to rewind it on Hulu to catch all the jokes. Edit: And I know it's been brought up in this thread, but if you have Netflix, do not sleep on Mulaney's new special; it is amazing in every goddamn way.

USA has placed a straight to series order for a Bourne movie spin off series titled Treadstone. In the movies Treadstone was one of the groups that secretly ran programmed assassins, one of which was Jason Bourne. Now, I enjoyed the Bourne movies for their time but do people really need a "secret government assassin" show right now?
