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?

[Martin]

Very possibly.

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