Mr. Show - Recruiters

[punktnollan]

This is without question one of the best sketch shows ever made.

[ohrwurm]

Thanks to Carter Blanchard and his homemade potato soup, that 5-year-old boy became known as BARACK OBAMA

[covmeister]

Ok I think im probably off about dates here etc, but is this kind of a spoof of the amazing documentary "hoop dreams"?

[bc1969214]

Also see the South Park episode Crack Baby Athletic Association.

[brandydeshayzer]

harassing that pregnant woman at 4:50 looked very real. Like it could have been an improv. And potato soup is awesome with cheddar and bacon on top. Sorry, I haven't eaten all day.

[jmj540]

Real crazy how David looks like Tobias in this skit.

[frostybob123]

@jmj540 real crazy that its the SAME ACTOR !!!!

[mseales]

David handing Bob the crackers to console him is so hilarious and heartbreaking.

[murielsartre]

"Blue Deacon"? Someone knows some Steely Dan! Hahaha!

[Noromongrel]

Why did they dub in the word LaFont?

[lax1228]

hahaha david says john henry instead of john hancock

[hirwin42]

With schools like USC chasing 7th graders, this is surprisingly not far from the truth.

[xxxIzekeIxxx]

recruiters!

[flabbyhabbybabby1]

Andre, stay in school!!! (car window closed)

[MusicJew158]

That bab'y's crying coupled with Odenkirk's reaction is perfect

[MusicJew158]

small school no accrediation but a good man

[BatyaMacAdamSomer]

greatest show ever

[redshiftexperiment]

i'm thinkin about runnin away from my grandma's house.

[screwtheinc]

[TyHutley]

however a representative will be stopping buy to pick up the potato soup

[feyd8194]

call us lame if u want but my friends and i used to stay in friday nights, in high school days, just to watch this show. wish they would start it up again. please god.

[Mortiis531]

At 2:05, you can see the pot that David supposedly brings to the home the next day behind Bob.

[StanSitwell]

-he's got the gemini shirt, so uhhhh i think i've done all i can. He looks like he's gonna cry and frankly i might cry too

I love this

[Brew4me111]

lol, "u gonna come to indiana or u gonna freeze ur butt off n chicago?"

"yea, like its hot all year around in indiana"

classic

[malabo10]

we got a 2yrs cowboy degree...rofl

[clobbercronk]

for two boys... I'm legally recognized as a great aunt.

[aleashasam01]

wha... don't cry, here take some crackers

[TyHutley]

i love how there's obviously nothing in the pot and David makes it seem so heavy. when he opens it he tries to shield the inside with the lid to the camera's view.

"Dat's Potato Soup, I made it personally."

[Pstassio]

This is brilliant. Probably my favorite sketch of theirs.

[yomelo]

Damn, young Will Hawkins has got mad skills...but he wants to be a fireman???

[connor811]

Is this a parody of Hoop Dreams?

[allenu]

Yeah, seems like it to me.

[UnCommonCold]

this is one of my favorite mr. show skits ever and i love almost all of them.

[efs120]

Kentucky offered a scholarship to an eight grader. This clip is getting closer to reality.

[erick103]

"that's what this job does to you..look at em!" I love how david starts laughing there, and they cut off.. to bob sitting along the fence, with crackers.. AHAHHA

OH MAn.. great fucking show!!

[shemuelheard]

"small school, no accreditation but a good man."

[TheoBrixtonTheKid]

Hahhaha, I come bearing gifts!

[Steady99]

too funny!

[basterdpeople]

agreed. they shot for dark comedy but it was just makin me sad.

[JahWorks420]

i loved this fucking skit! this was definitely my favorite

[clobbercronk]

and for the family......homemade potato soup

[robmward]

Youre a blue deacon

[OG823]

watch his hands

[August25th1981]

it looks like david cross wants to crack up at 5:26 or so a bit, then really after bob says he's just going to runaway from his grandmas house. great.

[daveibukun]

This is getting close to reality, college coaches are grabbing them younger and younger these days.

[videoguyy]

this show makes SNL look like MADtv, and MADtv fucking SUCKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[vinangee]

this is joyous news!

[mongobobo]

This isn't too far off the mark when looking at soccer scouts in Europe.

[StanSitwell]

do you remember all that stuff we were talking about?

suckers and toys, the 2 year cowboy degree?

I mean, he's got the gemini shirt so I've done all I can, I guess he's gonna cry now and I think I might too

[zeelog1]

Where's the Chocolate basketballs and the "fuck you dad!"

[UnCommonCold]

classic sketch

proud indiana basin silt alumnus here

[vanman8u]

"We've got a two-year Cowboy Degree" My life has been filled with emptyness since Mr Show no longer makes new stuff

[druha10304]

LOL hes a magician!~

[opieanthony1979]

Watch David trying hard not to laugh in the coffee shop near the end of this clip when Bob says, "I'm going to leave my grandmother's house with a sleeping bag and just run as far as I can.." You can see him smiling, about to crack up.

Damn good stuff : )

[mongobobo]

I was gonna comment on that!!!

[optionthis]

I'm with Indiana Basin Silt College - we have two buildings. And we play outdoors. But we mean well.

[cbg85]

could've been something...

[blarneyrubble]

i think this is a spoof on the documentary _hoop_dreams_

[kellermcgee21]

don't cry...have some crackers

[tishmaju]

it's amazing how a mustache transforms him into tobias

[JoseKelley]

"Here, have some crackers."

[TheoBrixtonTheKid]

Good school, no creditation, but a good man....hahahahaha

[sfdonovan]

"Two boys, I'm legally recognized as their great aunt." This is some of the best Mr. Show stuff.

[JAStewart]

Mr Show is awesome. Totally awesome.

[TeddyLeper]

Oh, Mr. Show... we hardly knew ye.
