Mr. Show - Teardrop Award

[BuddhaBot]

"sorrow is the key that gets our tears out of eye jail" words to live by.

[TheLoverboyz901]

fun fact: Stephen Lynch was influenced by Mr. Show,

mouthful of sores needs to be made into an mp3 or itunes.

[amantaugh]

This is one of Mr. Show's best sketches. What I really love is that the Brian Wilson song parody is called, "Ain't No Fun" for a song about the tragic death of his son. Good call... when your son is dead, it "ain't no fun." haha

Also, the lyrics for Clapton's song about the kid he killed are so insensitive, and the title is "There's No More Room in Heaven." It sounds like he's make a jab at the kid being so fat that heaven is full. Way too funny because it's so warped. haha

[carlwinslo]

i know the value of a mouth without sores

[TheJcb183]

Dear Irvingcsaltzburg and Whoandtheha: the sexual tension here is palpable. Get a room.

P.S. Whoandtheha, you need to lighten up. Seriously. How does this affect your life?

P.P.S Irving, if you're lucky he will give you 2 in the who-ha.

[Mikemaniax]

Ok, I think the first woman is supposed to be Tori Amos and the second one is Fiona Apple. I was seriously waiting for one of them to parody the "This awards show is shit" speech.

[whoandtheha]

I'm fucking shocked that some of you would "thumbs up" a comment that stated that Clapton pushed his kid out of a window. I love this show, but this was waaaaay too far. A 4 year old kid fell out of a window and fell over forty stories to his death. To find any humor, WHATSOEVER, in that is shameful. David Cross, while a comedic genious, seems like a angry, cynical jerk. I gues if I was short, ugly, bald and wore glasses I would be to.

[pfive]

@whoandtheha I agree it is shocking that people like a comment that states Clapton pushed his kid out of a window, he drop kicked him

[whoandtheha]

@pfive Yea, and thats why it's funny, huh

[LittleRedMenace]

@whoandtheha What they are actually making fun of is the fact that Clapton scored a number one hit and made a shitload of money on a song that he wrote inspired by the death of his kid. That is something that is rather creepy and kind of deserves to be called out, or made fun of, if you will. Now, I get that writing a song for his son was done by Clapton to honor him and perhaps help him cope. Still though.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@whoandtheha Cry about it some more you little bitch, you don't have to take it out on David Cross just because he's more successful than you. They weren't making fun of Eric Clapton's dead son they were making fun of Clapton and his massive ego. You're acting just like David Cross in another Mr Show sketch where he pretends to be an angry viewer and just films himself saying "I have never" over and over. Hey maybe if you send them a video of you complaining they'll make you a star.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@whoandtheha Was I giving the impression that I spent time thinking about that response because I typed it as I was thinking it, sorry if I intimidated you with big words? I can guarantee David was being sarcastic in that commentary they're quite obviously making fun of Eric Clapton and Brian Wilson in this sketch. What's really fucking pathetic is that you apparently love watching this show enough to listen to the dvd commentary yet you still find the need to bitch about it.

[whoandtheha]

@irvingcsaltzburg You're goddamn right I'll bitch about it; a fucking kid fell out of a window to his death. To find any humor in that, in any context, is piss-poor. Or let me guess, you're the type of person who can find humor in that?

I AM a fan of the show, have the whole series. There are a few skits I've cringed at, (such as the retarded parents), but this was too far. What made it worse was David denyng he had EC in mind when he did it. He was not being sarcastic, I can GUARANTEE you.

[Clutnuckle]

searching 'heaven better save some tears' only brings you links to 'tears in heaven'.

i love this show.

[SJAndrewbsme]

Livin large huh Willups?!?

[funkybranca]

scott aukerman looks like shane mcgowan

[ALean127]

"Fataly murdering him." Hahaha classic

[Enturbulant]

4 people have a mouth full of sores

[BesidesIllegal]

I would listen to A Mouthful Of Sores so many times if it were real

[ohrwurm]

@BesidesIllegal Listen to Brian Wilson's "God Only Knows" (if you must). Willips Brighton=Brian Wilson... get it?

[LittleRedMenace]

David Cross is the funniest man alive.

[LittleRedMenace]

The first part of this with Three Minus One Times One still makes me lose my shit every time after all these years.

[videocanone]

"That guy you're with is like a mouth full of sores" ! love the Beach Boys rip !

[james1200]

No Eric Clapton did not deserve that, hence the near-silence during that part of the skit but still...this show is genius. If anyone wondered where Andy Samberg stole Dick In a Box and his 90's r&b parody look, look no further...

[SWAT616]

@james1200 I wouldn't call it stealing. The only real similarity they share is the genre of music they're spoofing, which is a genre that a ton of acts have spoofed.

Having said that, I think three times one minus one is a hell of a lot funnier than Samberg's thing.

[gorgeousaur]

@SWAT616 Yeah, that's like saying Weird Al invented song parodies or something. "Oh, someone else did a parody of a similar genre before hand, so despite the completely different subject matter and tone, this is unoriginal." :P

[drzignot]

And my heart feels like a mouth full of sores, a mouth full of sores isn't fun!

[peetyL]

Sorrow is the key that gets yr tears out of eye-jail.

[JoeyPencils]

@peetyL no ijAIL LIKE AND ipOD FOR YOUR EYES

[rollo131]

@peetyL Porn is the key that gets our semen out of penis jail

[Ramble1212]

this is racist to the max

[electrojones]

@Ramble1212 No.

[petezilla]

I mean, it is, haha, but it's more about music awards in general.

[petezilla]

haha so funny every time he says "mouthful of sores" he looks like it hurts him to open his mouth wide enough to sing.

is he supposed to be Brian Wilson? DUH, and this a damn good fake Brian Wilson song! who cares if Brian Wilson never had herpes. I don't think this is a lampoon of Brian Wilson or Eric Clapton really

[methlab4qt]

Questions:

1. Is Bob Odenkirk supposed to be Brian Wilson?

2. Does Eric Clapton really deserve that?

3. When did Brian Wilson ever have herpes?

[alabamamanable]

@methlab4qt Answers:

1. Yes

2. Reach deep down inside, find a sense of humor, and hold onto it for dear life.

3 (See #2)

[electrojones]

@methlab4qt

1. Not really.

2. Yes.

3. To my knowledge, he does not have herpes.

[JerFhilm]

Eric Clapton pushed his kid out a window so he could write a hit song about it and this sketch does a great job articulating that.

[tlv156]

"i wish my boy could be down here to share this with me......but then i wouldn't have written the song so - scratch that! haha"

lmfao. classic.

[jek21]

"sorrow is the key that gets our tears out of eye jail" - anon

[Shotgunnova]

God, this skit is hilarious. If it's not the great physical comedy, the intentionally stale teleprompter reads, and insincere acceptance speeches, it makes fun of talentless singer-songwriters continually rehashing their libraries. My favorite part's at the end where David says "I'll miss you...me." Classic.

[martinrking]

Who's the red head?

[rdecredico]

One of the best shows that points out the idiocy and lameness of most people's lousy artictic efforts, particularly the ones that appeal to larger numbers of people and achieve some form of mass appeal. Remember: The masses are asses.

[SparksDrinker]

@rdecredico . we get it, you're a rebel.

[rdecredico]

@SparksDrinker You don't get anything except the booby prize for idiotic comments like that one.

[SparksDrinker]

@rdecredico . we get it, you're a tough guy.

[murielsartre]

"Non-stop Erotic Cabaret" is the name of a Soft Cell (the guys who did "Tainted Love") album, BTW.

[acrobaticaromatic]

haha awesome callback at the start there.

[Rayla840]

Damn, Willips Brighton's sores just won't go away. And Mr Show with Bob and David: My favorite show ever. Great stuff

[antmichb]

5:41

[90sComputerGames]

I'll miss you..me.

I love it.

[charlottebgay]

nonstop erotic cabaret

[pnevz]

"I wish my boy could be down here to share this with me, uh, but then I wouldn't have written the song, so....scratch that...I don't...no, I'm...it's just....buddy this is for you,ok...this is like a non stop erotic cabaret!!!" What an unreal sketch...

[genesOFgreen]

Cool water...cool water...really cools ya down.

[NudeSooner]

Goodbye, Madam Curie

Goodbye, Charlemagne

[jevicci]

That guy you're with

Is like a mouth full of sores

And you, little darling

Are a mouth without sores

Take it from me

A guy who's had mouth sores

I know the value of a

Mouth without sores

ROFL!

[prunierthemassacre]

d0ug, I think you might have missed the true genius of this sketch. It is an ABSOLUTE homage to Wilson. If you get a chance, you should listen to Bob's commentary on the DVD. Excellent back story. Promise.

[LTopomcFly]

@prunierthemassacre Odenkirk hates Brian Wilson. He thought it was ridiculous that he would take so much time to write a song with such simplistic lyrics as "Cool Water" Listen to that commentary again

[prunierthemassacre]

I didn't get that feeling from the commentary at all. Odenkirk made fun of Wilson for what his song writing had become: simplistic, silly and repetitive. Yet, he also recognized him as one of the old masters. The sketch proves this. Maybe I should listen again. I want to believe it was an homage more than a jab--a recognition more than anything.

[LTopomcFly]

@prunierthemassacre I like the Beach Boys myself. And Clapton gets my respect. But the Mr.Show guys seem too cynical for this to be a kind tribute.

[d0ug]

such a wicked shot at brian wilson

[arrojenkins]

@d0ug and clapton!

[TRBNGR666]

i'll miss you, willups brightons son

[goodtwitch]

Fox News is nature's ipecac

[doomsdaygray]

just go to the clinic and get a penicillin shot. works every time!

[pjbrubak]

I think Wilips Brighton's music is beautiful.

[MrWesley1119]

Do not get me wrong Mr. Show was brilliant but that one sketch is not funny.

[CTrane88]

Additionally, I'd like to extend an even more grateful thank for you second comment which really only lends itself to being interpreted as David Cross is a brilliant dick bag, now I understand. It's either all funny, or nothing is.

Regards,

Romadomadingdong

[MrWesley1119]

That Eric Clapton spoof is not funny. That's just mean spirited and fucked up. David Cross is a complete dick bag and most other comedians dislike him greatly.

[Swatsinger]

Stop getting offended for people you don't know.

Serious business, ttly

[CTrane88]

Mr. Wesley,

Thank you for your input, your comment is most appreciated. Also, on behalf of the National Committee of I Speak for Everyone, I'd like to personally thank you, for conducting a poll of how other no-one-in-specific comedians do not like David Cross. This is great made up information and must be heard.

[Fredonia2k]

So it's not funny because you got butt hurt over someone making fun of Eric Clapton? Grow up.

[SaveTheMooses]

"fatally murdering him"

[graaar]

If you listen to the DVD commentary you learn Bob was sick in bed and unable to turn off a beach boys documentary before writing this. He was so stressed his mouth and throat couldn't defend itself from simple bread mold. Poor guy... so take your vitamins and don't stress out too much or you'll get Odenkirk mouth.

[DanRSL]

Dude, mold can be deadly. I know it sounds crazy, but that "guy with no face" who appears on like Maury and stuff was just mold, too. It can rapidly decay people if it gets in the wrong places.

[graaar]

That's what he said in the comments, he was told he'd have died. Glad we didn't lose such an awesome comic talent.

[pittland44]

Odenkirk mouth eh? That sounds fatal.

[Hawdkoah]

Haha, Bobk looks a lot like Al Jourgensen in this.

[indiesk8r1]

"I'll miss you... Me"

It's hard to judge but this sketch is one of the funniest of the show.

[bustercaps]

I wish HBO had never canceled this show...

[HassanKobaissi]

a mouth full of sores

[wickedfeylady]

lol has Eric Clapton seen this

[TheMoonsDescent]

I completely lost it when he mouths the electric guitar at 5:42. Awesome!!!!!!

[RationalDischarge]

Wow! I think David's Horace Loeb character has the most natural and least goofy-looking wig in the entire run of the series...though that certainly isn't saying very much!

[vampgrl79]

ha ha ha NICE SONG There's no more room in heaven wow!!!LMAO

[kylereinhard1]

"I'll miss you, Willips Brighton's son."

I would totally (unironically) listen to that Mouth Full of Sores song, by the way. They should have put the whole thing on the DVD

[gorramdoll]

agreed, it's fantastic

[legoking58]

ill miss you me lol

[ZPSFILMS]

Ima miss me, me...

[bill291212]

bob odenkirk is a genius

[HailTheOri]

I wonder if he meant for his soul strip to be slightly to the left of the center of his chin.

[WillHerndon]

sorrow is the key that gets our tears out of eye-jail.

[DanRSL]

this is great because Brian Wilson and Eric Clapton are such total clowns

[VariedInterest]

Brian Wilson was a brilliant musician and both David and Bob would share that opinion.

I agree with regards to Eric Clapton, however, haha.

[khalithistle]

cmon now. eric clapton is way, way, way out of brian wilson's doucheleague

[MusicJew158]

Sorrow is the key that gets our tears out of eyejail

[EvilUncleFrank]

I love how Bob plays Brian Wilson as mildly retarded.

[Resevil]

5:43 greatest face ever

[brithans]

Brian Wilson vs Eric Clapton.

[laurenmargaux]

i made an mp3 out of this video just so i could listen to it on my ipod. it makes me crack up every time!

[BrunoPuntzJones84]

"take it from me, a guy who has mouth sores, I know the value of a mouth without sores" = best lyrics ever!

[Immutableimpossible1]

"because you went to heaven, and a tear drop went to meeee! i'll miss you, willips brightons son "

ahhahahah

[Deathregis]

This is like a nonstop erotic cabaret!

[vampgrl79]

My fav part of this skit is when he wins and thanks his son and says Scratch that. OMG SO FUNNY!

[Cloudburst]

I can't get over how funny that Brian Wilson parody is. Mouth full of sores!? LMAO!!!

[vampgrl79]

Who you talking at?

[Cloudburst]

the word is mouthful, not mouth full

[JessecaB]

Cloudburst was calling him/herself stupid.

[vampgrl79]

thanks

[Cloudburst]

Neither did I, that's why I corrected myself and said I was stupid.

[vampgrl79]

Oh ok.

[vampgrl79]

who you talking at is a line by David Cross in a Mr.Show sketch Look it up and why does that get a minus 1?

[tlv156]

"and what could make us cry more than a sad song? i don't know...." lmfao!!

[Chudhole]

This skit captures everything that's wrong with Clapton. Perfect.

[reidsprague]

"This is like a non-stop erotic cabaret!"

[lysis28]

I love the lame rhetorical question at 1:05.

[cornagainstsorcery]

I know the value of a mouth without sores.

[JuniorTimes]

and he's going to win again in the 26th annual song awards lol

[thephattyarbuckle]

eric clapton sucks

[SiddHDELS]

[BTThrash]

mmmm mmmm mmmmm!

[oxidindigo]

no doubt, she looks friggin hot like that

[ColbyAllison87]

Hahaha. When I saw this the first time a few years ago, I didn't get that the first guy was Brian Wilson. Very funny on Bob's part.

[TheoBrixtonTheKid]

Goodbye the everyone ever.

[senatorexlax]

It's so hard to say goodbye to everyone who's ever died.

[jkoff76]

Man when i saw this episode, I knew they were going to hell.  Except Dave of course, because he doesn't believe it. LOL

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

I love how horace is playing an acustic guitar but the notes in the song are from an electric guitar lol

[bigfreddy74]

cheap shot at clapton

[bigbossmatt]

agreed :(

[theoriginal42]

Yeah, otherwise a good skit, but that was kinda harsh.

[vampgrl79]

I heard david say that it wasn't meant to turn out like that, they didn't realize it until after the skit, but yeah that it pretty bad!

[Bushmills21]

"Sad songs, are nature's onions."

[vampgrl79]

LMFAO> I WAS CRYING SO HARD!

[BelleandSebby]

I know the value of a mouth without soooores.

Back to back this with Tears in Heaven. I promise it's a treat.

[ericcondon]

Goodbye 2 Every 1 Ever

[olivemike81]

I love David Cross. "You've been crossed my man."

[Shotgunnova]

"Devoted Father, Songwriter, and Self" -> LOL. This sketch never loses its awesomness.

[Octophetus]

Sad songs are the key that gets our tears out of eye jail.

[kaelsleeps]

"Sorrow...gets our tears out of eye jail."

[BlooBeluga]

take it from me, a guy who's had mouth sores

[MyNameIsBucket]

He was fatally murdered!!

[republicofsalo]

If anybody is interested, go download the Beach Boys "Busy Doing Nothing" from the "Friends" LP. It's the song that inspired Bob to make this sketch.

[republicofsalo]

....along with his personal struggles with herpes, of course

[Shotgunnova]

I also love how on the second Horace Loeb song, the acoustic does an electric guitar solo at the end. LOL!

[TheMusicianer]

I love how it was done with a crappy keyboard sound like so much Mr. Show stuff.

[Shotgunnova]

This sketch is too funny. I still sing the "I heard about my death today" song sometimes. :p

[skybluestoday]

I was the location manager for these sketches. God, "Mr. Show" was such a chore -- we never had any money and there were sooo many locations. But it all turned out to be worth it.

(This particular sketch was filmed at the Palace, at some rich-person's home on Vermont [near the Greek Theater], on the roof at our studio location, and on our set.)

[erick103]

AHAHAHHAHA I love how you see the fat kid all bubbly at the start, then you see him dead later!

HAHAHA that fat kid is just full of comedic genius! i love him!
