Run, Ronnie Run: A look back over cereal and coffee
« on: January 08, 2010, 11:31:10 AM »
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.
 

Doing it Mentos style.

"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..."
It ain't ego, it's my love for you.

: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.
You look like a really healthy Arthy Lang.

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...

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...

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"

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 ..."
