Mr. Show Indomitable Spirit

[Nailsinmytummy]

My god ...Sarah Silverman has always been this awesome?

[katkowalski314]

wow both top comments are the same

[notoriousnews]

YES! YOUR HANDICAP IS YOU'RE A SHITTY DRUMMER!

[ghostofandy]

Wait. How'd he lose his arm??

[TheLoverboyz901]

i thought the guy who said "let him talk" was an actual audience member, that would've been really cool

[TTOMO]

I have a few Indomitable Spirit guitar picks. No lie. They were from when Mr. Show Live toured back in 2002. I was in the front row and they threw a lot of picks into the crowd, but most of them just ended up on the ground in front of the stage, so I picked up a few of them.

[TheEllampalli]

I love it how both of the top rated comments are pretty much the same.

[lilwayne69691]

im fran and im a woman.........thats mean to all women but i dont give a shit!

[BlackTarHeroinTiger]

David Cross should have said that there is a correlation between the drummer's disability and his shitty drumming. That would have helped clarify things.

[jonloffie]

hey there im mickey the one with just a head

[mseales]

Love how Cross' "Nooo!"s in this sketch are like the ones in the audition sketch.

[rian81]

Jay Johnston is so fucking funny.

[oncassette]

paul f tompkins is hilarious at the end

[notoriousnews]

Sarah Silverman is hoooooooot!

[nonSteel]

Whitest Kids U Know FTW

[DJMeowMixer]

I liked the guy with no arms

[soundcheck127]

Micky rimmed head with head...nice

[mbolduc]

My shoes are too tight

[jek21]

Goddamnit David, that's not a snare drum that's a RIDE CYMBAL!

[voiceinheadphones]

@jek21 Actually it's a high hat.

[jek21]

@voiceinheadphones Incorrect.

[voiceinheadphones]

@jek21 The SOUND being played is a hat. That's what I meant. He's playing a crash cymbal...or a VERY small ride.

[Cannibalzz]

for a while when I would watch this show I thought the guy in the blue and the audience member who got up at the end were the same guy

[magnieto831]

Jill rocked the "Pre-natal Pageant" skit though. Just pure awesome in that one.

[lozito24]

apparently neither have you...

[TheArmy19D]

Sarah's two lines in this sketch are funnier than anything the other female cast members have ever contributed during their entire run on the show.

[lozito24]

this chick has never anything funny in her life

[TheArmy19D]

@lozito24 Neither has your Mom, Every waking moment she has my cock in her mouth.

[Talk2ben]

@TheArmy19D Karen and Jill are both quite hilarious. And none of the ladies were writers, so you can't blame them for the hilarity of things, since they were just performing.

[TheArmy19D]

@Talk2ben They are given little to nothing to work with.  I do like the one where Jill gets beat up by the guy selling pans though.

[Talk2ben]

@TheArmy19D There is an element of "boys club" to the writing, and as Jill pointed out in one of the commentaries, had they written a great woman role it would have been played by Bob or David. I still don't think many other women could keep up with the boys as well as Karen/Mary Lynn/Jill.

[graaar]

@Talk2ben True. Not many other guys either I think. Mr. Show truly had some of the best.

[MusicWavesMan]

Sarah is hot

[soundcheck127]

Flat top tony and the purple canoe!

[fishinwithguns]

The sketch still continues after this, Bob and David continue to argue and David says "if your arms were made of drum sticks and your head was a drum you'd still suck," that's so funny to me

[IGotGrapes09]

"i'm fran and i'm a woman"...scandless just scandless

[TRBNGR666]

not trying to be a dick...or the typo police...but just so you know moving forward the word "Scandless" has a root word of Scandal. Hence Scandalous is what you meant to write.

[septentrionale]

Scandless is most certainly a word. It suggests an inherent lack of morals or principles.

[TRBNGR666]

its actually not, the word is "Scandalous" did you even read my entire post?

[Blightmouth]

@TRBNGR666

scand·less [skan-dluhs]

adjective

1.

disgraceful; shameful or shocking; improper: scandalous behavior in public.

2.

defamatory or libelous, as a speech or writing.

3.

attracted to or preoccupied with scandal, as a person: a scandalous, vicious gossip.

JKJKJKK I MADE IT UP

[dismo77]

lmao at sarah silvermens part...

[ShroomSamich]

you mean the sped bus! haha i stay in school and do drugs! but dont abuse them!

[wickedfeylady]

So is Fran not really a chick then? lol

[punwin]

no the joke is that being a woman is a limitation

[wickedfeylady]

I was kidding. I know that's the joke.

[punwin]

lies and slander

[wickedfeylady]

Uh....would you mind leaving me alone?

[punwin]

I am invading your personal youtube space

[stormmariem]

we have some special friends joing us, now they're a little different from you and me, but lets remember that dosen't make them freaks, it just means you have try a little harder not to let them make you uncomfortable

[EvilUncleFrank]

"Hey let him talk!" this sketch is nonstop genius, beginning to end.

[WeBloomOnDemand]

"Because I wouldn't give out hugs?

"So that was YOU!"

[ethansloan]

FLAT TOP TONY AND THE PURPLE CANOES!

[sgbtexan]

Just to save you time....1:20 mean but damn funny

[Voxyness]

Sara Silverman (comedian in the skit) in an interview:

""People say Im a nice girl saying terrible things. I tend to say the opposite of what I think. You hope that the absolute power of that transcends, and reaches the audience."

The line is not a sexist joke, it's a joke about sexism.

[graaar]

Exactly, if someone actually thought being a woman was inherently limiting then they wouldn't get the joke. I really wish people would lighten up when it comes to comedy :)

[NoRulesInNam]

My name is Fran, and I'm a woman!

[drewdog1496]

lol, "and i'm a women..."

[loungelizard5000]

HBO needs to give Mr. Show a documentary and a couple of reunion shows. Flat Top Tony and the Purple Canoes!

[chickenringNYC]

Hey there, I'm Mickey, the one with just a head! I can play this here flute and knock you outta yer head!

[maddingo12]

Mickey was clearly the best.

[calsonicSTi]

yeah, his voice is all nasaly like he really only has a head. lol

[oliver655321]

So you're saying that you're my long lost brother?

[sizzlingstea]

"I'm Fran and I'm a woman" is the best line in all of Mr. Show.

[goredsox04040404]

it took me a second to realize the joke, but after that, the funniest thing ever

[theoriginal42]

Ahh, it crosses the line twice perfectly.

[olivemike81]

SOOOO PERFECTLY. More so than many other shows.

[Mortiis531]

I love how they rhyme head with head.

[blookup]

Lost an arm while out looking for poontang.

[jazzymojoe]

Im Fran and im a woman!! lol hilarious

[bottekott]

Paul to the rescue!

[personcheese1234]

hey their i'm mickey

[rickydoo85]

the one with just a head

[personcheese1234]

i can play this here flute and knock you out of your head

[Saganite3456]

I think Indomitable Spirit is better Pink Floyd. That guy who was playing guitar with his legs was certainly better than Jimi Hendrix....

Note: I'm just joking! Please don't hurt me...

[heyyoumakelove]

The youtube pacifist strikes again!

[neilheuer]

Mickey is the best, I love Jay, probably my favorite actor on Mr. Show

[resonanteye]

sarah silverman+brian posehn=hilarious always

[scandiumtrioxide]

Posehn definitely isn't in this sketch though...

[rkay51]

Yeah me too!

Apart from Bob and David anyway.

[hulagun]

I love that he says, "...but that doesn't stop me from riding on the snare!", and then plays the crash cymbal to the sound effect of a hi-hat.

[dawgggystyle]

no shit, give them a break nothing else rhymes with half-there.

[sheepthing]

It was probably intentional

[dawgggystyle]

exactly... the genius of these two writers and the great show

[njolnir]

"Hey...let him talk!"

"Yeah!"

[livardo]

haha.. "I'm a woman"

[cbg85]

so...they kicked him out...because he lost an arm?

[Seveninat0r]

No, because he was a shitty drummer.

[cbg85]

...because he lost an arm they thought he was a shitty drummer?

[Seveninat0r]

No, see he was a shitty drummer. Then he lost an arm...

[cbg85]

oh, I get what you're saying...he was too shitty to play when he lost an arm...

[freezazoid]

haha. I liked bob and david's version better. but at least you're being creative. Actually you're not being creative. bob and david are. But as far as youtube comments...Yeah, creative i guess.

[benyman9]

see if he did not lose his arm he would still get kicked out of the band

[EatRune]

I love how you guys are mirroring their conversation.

[benyman9]

bc he sucks a drum

[gunsunderthecounter]

or ynstrument syncing

DONT HELP ANYMORE! HAHAHA long live mr. show more

[gunsunderthecounter]

This is great. Indomitable Spirit is just like every shitty inspirational band - obvious lyp syncing, solid, vibrant colored clothes, simple generic message, shitty lyrics. Watch jay's eyes when he plays the flute!

[erick103]

HAHa "I think I can help..he's saying..you're a shitty drummer..because..you only have ONE arm.."

NOOOooO!! GO SIT DOWN< AND DON'T HELP ANYMORE!

hahaha! I wish they woulda uploaded the whole skit..even the part where the world blows up

[BosshccoBooha]

Her story in The Aristocrats made me fall in love with her... so innocent looking yet so hot

[Da1JayMan]

Fuck Yeah I would plow her into next month!

[mforce99]

Sarah Silverman is hot

[TacoJack]

'And I'm a woman!'

Sarah Silverman nails that line.

Flattop Tony and the Purple Canoes FTW!

[TylerShaw]

Long live Mr show.

The best thing to happen to sketch comedy in America.
