Mr. Show | The Audition Sketch | HBO Max

Is that Starburns from Community?

Gracias, Hemato

starburns, saul, and tobias! three iconic characters lmao

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Dinooooooo

This is such a classic David sketch, similar to the pre-taped call-in show. Some poor everyman doing something bonkers, out of touch and incongruous with how things work and still totally pissed no one gets it. Comedy gold.

I love Mr. Show, but from all the sketches they've ever done, this is their magnum opus.

Can I leave a comment?

Go Dino!

This sketch is mathematically perfect.

This remains one of my favorite sketches.

tobias, saul, and starburns !

Starburns sighting

LMFAO

This is how I’m going to audition for anything. I’m almost 40 and will never audition for anything, but if I did…

Meta before meta was a thing!

I love how meta this skit is. I actually think it counts as “infinitely-meta”. It doesn’t just have one layer that replicates a layer below. It technically has infinite, like when you put two mirrors facing each other. On level 0, an actor comes into an audition and performs something. He performs an actor coming into an audition and performing something. But there is always room for another nested level: the actor he performs as is performing as another actor in another audition. And that actor could also be performing as an another actor performing in an audition.

It’s honestly really interesting stuff if you study mathematical logic. One reason is that the lower levels are indistinguishable from the higher levels. It’s like there’s a “limit at infinity” where all the layers seamlessly superimpose on each other and become indistinguishable. You can kind of come full circle to then interpreting it as there only being one single level, unifying infinite identical levels.

STAR BURNS!!!!!!

It's END SCENE, not AND SCENE.

LAMES

Is this the gal i see?

Classico

Same character from arrested development

Did they edit out an offensive word?

SABRE BURNS!!

I like this Young Tobias better than the one in Arrested Boy

Is that Starburns?

This show shoulda kept going on till this day. I would have watched every single episode. Still waiting for bob and david new season ;(

A modern who’s on first

Starrrburrrrrnzzzzzz!

“Ye-“

you got the goods!

Robert Picardo is so fricken awesome

David Ctoss was just built for comedy.

I'm really tempted to actually do this at an audition.

Is the other guy (not david) in this skit Bob's brother? For some reason i thought they were related but the dude's name escapes me.

"And..scene!"
"Great!"
"NOOOO!"

Starburns!!!!

Starburns!

Perfect. You never knew what to expect. Genius writing. Legends of comedy.

As brilliant as David Cross is in this, Bob Odenkirk literally looking like he is dying from not being able to answer the question is what makes the scene.

This is one of several Mr. Show sketches that I have had difficulty explaining to people. It usually ends with me saying: Trust me, it's funny.

You need to be of a special creative mind to come up with the types of sketches they had, for Mr. Show.

This show needs an HD remaster. Despite being an official clip, it looks just like the one uploaded in 2006.

How opera pro! ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

HEY GUYS ITS THE GUY FROM ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS EXCEPT HE GREW DIARREA
