Mr. Show - The Story Of Everest

...I cannot explain why this is funny. Its the same basic joke again and again...yet I still laugh out loud at it XD

Lost in the clip: It took them 20 minutes to re-set the thimbles between takes.  It took nearly 2 hours to film.

You can hear the audience turn against them towards the end.

Might be the funniest Mr Show.

Friends makes me think you're being sarcastic, but Arrested Development and Kids in the Hall are both pretty good, from what I've seen.

Haha, my reference to Friends was in terms of the primetime availability of Friends compared to the late-night showings of the others, I was not suggesting parity in comedic quality. I accept I didn't make that clear, sorry.
I do that a lot...

davids laugh at 2:14 is so funny.

You had Big Train during the same period in the 90s. We in the US didn't get that. I blame Comedy Central and HBO. They could have easily bought the rights to show it here.

Mr. Show was on premium cable late on Friday nights. Hardly anyone in the US saw it, either, while it was on the air.

That applies to Big Train too! It's an obscure reference to most British people.
Kiss me, Youtube, kiss me!

Like an SNL skit, but funny.

exactly!
