Run, Ronnie Run was on cable this morning (as I was getting ready to go to work) and while it didn't suck as bad as I had remembered it certainly wasn't great...
That being said, HBO's Mr. Show was pretty great all the way through, and I am wondering if Mr. PFT or other people in the know would be able to comment on the degrees of chances in Hell that Mr. Show ever has of returning to the screen with new episodes...?
Just daydreaming, you know.

While I have no idea about new episodes, I'm a huge Mr. Show fan, too. As far as Ronnie Dobbs goes, my favorite is "Fuzz: The Musical." It's just hilarious. I'm not a huge fan the movie, except for the part about Mandy Patinkin singing "Y'all Are Brutalizing Me." I think my other favorite "song" part of Mr. Show was the 8 seconds of Bob Odenkirk singing "Get Off My Land" in a pink shirt.

"Iiiiii'm the hated miiiiiilk machiiiiiine, everybody hates me nooooowwww" is my go-to karaoke song. Who needs backing tracks?

I need some for "Goin on a holidaaaaaayyyy. Goin on a holidayyyyy. Hey now whatdaya sayyyyyyyyy.... we're goin on a holidayyyy"

"Penicillin, baby loves my penicillin, takes it all day loooong ... thank you"

"I heard about it on the TV, about how you were sitting next to me...and you died. And my heart feels like a mouth full of sores - a mouth full of sores ain't no funnnnnn..."

:D
I ran out the door for work just when Mandy agrees/suggests that he should do the number in the nude... Moments like that kind of make up for other (probable unavoidable Hollywood) suckiness.

That movie could have been better but there is some comedy gold in it. The Gay Conspiracy, 3+1-1, David Koechner, Jack Black's number, Jeff Goldenstein, the list goes on. I'd like to see what they would have done without the studio getting involved but I love it the way it is too.

Totally forgot about The Joke: The Musical. My iPod was named Tankerbell for a long time. Love it.
I'm remembering there are a ton of great Mr. Show song moments:
Red Balloon
I'm an Old Gold Tooth from "Rap the Musical"
The Whole JC Superstar parody
The country songs from the blowing up the moon segment.

I was just watching him in "Sunday in the Park with George" and remember that, which brings me full circle on this.

3:03 to 3:26 is one of the funniest 23 seconds in television history, IMHO... Don't ask me why...
Bob Odenkirk's yelling "PIT PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" right afterwards...

"♫The Expert Truck's a comiiiiiin, Comin to yoooour town♫"
-
This one kills me -- the way Bob says 'Keep the change", David's hairstyle, the very idea that these two characters would be friends somehow...

"I'm in a gaaaaaang of one
Stuck in this chair I can't have much fun
But with a mic and a beat, I could get out of my seat
And oh what rap music could beeeeeeeeeee"
-
"Penicillin, baby loves my penicillin, takes it all day loooong ... thank you"
Don' forget the immortal:
Sports bra, sports bra, lifts and separates! Sports bra, sports bra, baby don't jiggle around, wear it all over town...thank you!
-
I still randomly bust in to:
"Take a walk through the Garden of Hate with me
Eat rotten fruit from the Shitty Tree
Drink from the Well of Bitterness and Spiiiiiiite ..."

"It was Dracula's pajama party, seven o' clock is when it all got started......"

How about the part where PFT is riding the bike as Da Vinci and stops and says "Oh hi there!"?

Classic moment.
The Amadeus parody about John Baptiste Philouza.

I still haven't seen all of "Mr. Show", but I've always marveled at the extensive "Jesus Christ Superstar" parody since it's so long and elaborate and clearly had so much energy expended on it, but it has so few actual jokes in it and the audience (and my own) response was so lukewarm. There's some kind of unfortunate comedy ratio going on there where the effort far outweighs the actual laughs, but you have to admire their dedication to the premise.

Go rent JCS and then watch Jeepers Creepers Semi-star. The whole sketch is a joke. I thought it was a perfect parody but a family friend was in the movie so my mom made us watch it every Easter so I think I was more familiar with the source material. Either way their take on it was so accurate in so many ways that I laughed the whole way through. Kind of like The Altered States of Drugachusetts, it's hilarious but if you've never seen the Sid and Marty Krofft stuff, it's not very good.

Untrue. And as mayor, I declare this pizza to be AWESOME.

I am of the rare opinion that I don't think the musical numbers in Mr. Show are very funny. The rest of the show, however, is the best thing ever.
(I feel the same way about the musical numbers in The Mighty Boosh - just can't get into them.)

Were you wronged by a musical number as a child?
-
Very possibly.

I'd have to kind of agree. Though it depends on the degree to which I understand the parody to begin with.
