I'm pretty sure I've watched the "Blew Moon" video more than any other Mr. Show moment.
Bob's snarling glare on "…God's America" turning into a dopey, good-natured nod-and-wink
— that's triple-strength comedy.

Jay's wigger MC/awards presenter in the TTOMO sketch is more good Jay.

And Bob, not Brian, read the "Cock Ring" voiceover, affectionately and accurately channeling bad, semi-pro, late-night Chicagoland TV commercial narration.

I think I read/heard that the "doctors" framing device of "Biker, Gay Guy, Old Woman and Chinese Man: the Four Voices Within" was added to a weak sketch consisting simply of a situation on a subway. Talk about spinning straw into gold.

Vardulon sez: "Wow, that's so embarrassing - all these years I've misheard that line as: 'Every time! Describe a crime!' You know, because that's what rap lyrics are."

You can have all his movies after "Sleeper"
"Bananas" is his most brilliant film, though. The premise (in the process of trying to impress his left-leaning girlfriend, shmuck inadvertently becomes Latin American dictator) is his best-ever, a great New York/Jewish joke that needed to be told. It makes me laugh out loud.

Looks like it doesn't Work
Cinematography looks pretty good. Rest is just awful.

One small quibble
They left out the kooky gang-fisting shots.

No shit.

After his 10th snotty, defensive comeback, it becomes clear that his name should be "Not Not Dan Deacon."

It would have been much cooler to campaign to change the dorm's name to "Sun City."

Dan Deacon and Jason Schwartzman:
Out to make it safe to wear big, intentionally dorky, 1981 eyeglasses to your cool bar, club, or intimate hipster soiree.

How embarrassing. I think I meant "mopeyness." I was probably drunk. I'm pretty anal about proofreading otherwise.

Didn't Sinatra's film career involve a horse head in some producer's bed at some point or another?

That movie was bogus, as was the director's follow-up, with Heath Ledger's Baby Mama. Death to Moppiness as Art.

I lost my hipster card. Has anybody seen it?

Tupac is a dead, ignorant thespian.

Um…
Ice-T? Jesus Christ! No Ice-T?

Bob Dylan is pretty interesting in that Peckinpah movie
But you never once forget that you're watching that crazy Bob Dylan guy.

Levon Helm…
…best makes me forget that he is a musician. I'm too busy admiring what a convincing actor he is.
