That reminded me of a scene in Woody allens movie "Radio Days", when one of the characters listened to a ventriloquist on the radio 😂 her husband couldn’t stand how she could laugh at that knowing she was not even able to see the act lol
I would legitimately hire Champion the Drinker for a party. The idea of some random stranger sitting on a stool doing nothing but drink scotch and stare into space while all my friends are like "who is that guy" is so funny to me.
Doyle's wife reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor's 'Martha' in, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." This skit is unadulterated genius and never fails to crack me the hell up..
Kill or Be Killed not hiding the fact that he's laughing or about to laugh is hilarious. All of 1:43 to 2:40 makes me laugh so hard that my sides hurt. It's so ridiculous.
I'd pay a shite-load of moolah to own one of the two following : a) a 60 minute VHS tape of Jay Johnston doing Choo Choo the Hurkey Jerkey Dancer b) that countertop cardboard display of Pickles and Mr. Barnett ventriloquism CD's
I know they're not supposed to be, but the two west coast ventriloquists in the cutaway interview genuinely are pretty intimidating. They totally nail the aging mafia boss vibe. I could totally see guys like this putting a hit out on someone.
@@makiburgess5733 I’m Canadian and most people I know don’t do that, but you’re absolutely right that Norm MacDonald did it. Maybe it’s an Eastern Canada thing :-)
@@felicity4711 yeah. Like not normal, but not uncommon. Sort of a hick thing to do, or an affectation of a faux hick voice. I had these friends who were roommates and one of them found it really annoying that the other one said it like that. A pet peeve.

@jeng3000 Yeah, you got that right. Do you remember this "gem" from ADC? "Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider, and sat down beside her, and said, "What's in the bowl, bitch"?
I love how it's impossible to get a smooth cut at the beginning and end of a Mr. show sketch.
I blame Monty Python.
Nature of the beast bud. They love segues 🥲
"Oh, you men."
Kills me every time.
Funniest part of an already hilarious bit
I love the guy cracking up like "...that's it?!" in the background.
My wife still says that when we go out to a bar as she sips her drink
Everything about this sketch is awesome. Especially the fact that they have ventriloquism CDs. Because you really want to HEAR ventriloquism. haha
Eve Gasse Edgar Bergen was a ventriloquist and a giant legendary radio star! I've never been able to figure that out....
Well if you don’t hear it, what’s the point? Anyone can jam his arm up a puppet’s butt, but if it doesn’t talk then there is no pay off.

@@Avonbarksdaleable Tim Allen?! GTFOH 😝
Of course there’s CDs. It’s a $16,000 a year industry
I love Odenkirk's "all we ever wanted to do was entertain the nice people!!!"
That's a humor only he can pull off. Hello! From 14 years in the future!
@@kevinwright6159 What's it like in the future? Is there still ventriliquism? I hope so....
We watch TV on our watches, the internet spies on us, old people rule the world, and there are streak bots who can do the work of a hundred streakers
@@dartmouthhoop The Neo-Inquisitors declared Ventriloquism unholy and sent the Ventriloquists and their Dummies underground
I guarantee you there are still plenty of dummies around.
Paul F. Tompkins' performance as "Champion the Drinker" is, no kidding, great acting in my book.
Hopefully you can get a "taxidermist" to confirm that.
Holy shit. It goes from Paul F. Tompkins to Peanut Butter the Dog.
The minute my mind put that together, it exploded.
Bojack was made for Mr Show Connoisseurs 🎩😙👌
I would legitimately hire Champion the Drinker for a party. The idea of some random stranger sitting on a stool doing nothing but drink scotch and stare into space while all my friends are like "who is that guy" is so funny to me.
Paul F Thomson literally did that professionally for years on Speak Easy. Only difference is he talked to ppl.
I love that the other rapper isn't even trying to cover up his laughter.
I mean you got these guys and there fuckin talkin dolls and shit.
You mean Killa B. Killed? Not Professor Murder.
"This has become a $16,000 a year enterprise" DEAD lmmfao☠
I love how Killa B Killed can't stop laughing.
So much golden in this bit, probably one of the best ever.
Mr. Spencer, Kill Or B Killd, Dingle, Professor Murder, Pickles, Mr. Barnett...
"The West Coast if the better of the two coasts." That shit kills me
We don’t like the East Coast.
This was the best sketch comedy show imo. Man what i would give for another season of Mr. Show
DId you watch w/bob & david on netflix?
Yeah, I'm with'em! STEP OFF!! 🤣 THE WAY Odenkirk moves the puppet as if it was going to walk away on its own is gold 😂😂😂
Gotta be in my top 3 😂 so good
I love how David isn't even trying to prevent his lips from moving at 2:00.
And the way he's holding the rope on the puppet ...
I like that at 2:30 Professor Murder is talking straight at the doll, not Bob.
Tom Kenny has a great voice.
@@justacup8676 So true.
Hopefully, he'll be able to find something to do with it after Mr. Show. It's a possibility I guess.
"Man, STEP OFF!" destroys me every time. He delivers that line and shoves the fucking dummy with so much conviction
This has become a $16,000 a year industry ..LMFAO
"Oh... you men."
I love that this random throwaway line is the title of the entire episode LOL
choo choo the hurkey jerky dancer. amazing.
One of the best sketches and episodes!
Damn, his science is too tight.
This is the sketch that introduced me to Mr. Show...and is still one of my absolute favorites (and one of my fave episodes).
bob guest starred on breaking bad last season and he was awesome. david cross has a new book out and is going on tour i believe
Not one thumbs up in 11 long years. Sad.
@@ThereIsNoLord maybe in another 11
@@KillaNowski Well, now there's eleven thumbs up. So now it's perfect.
I am filled with joy every time David turns on the TV and I see Choo Choo.
I aint no prof pickles
Don't mess with the east coast.
Doyle's wife reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor's 'Martha' in, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." This skit is unadulterated genius and never fails to crack me the hell up..
1:51 Professor Murder makes his return from the "Monk Academy" sketch.
Other way around. This was a season 3 sketch and monk academy was from season 4.
@@ja3482 Your science is too tight, J A.
i swear as soon as i have seen jay at the riot in Washington i was like "cho cho nooo!!"
He thought the riots were a stool!!
I just saw an article on this, and was like WTF Choo Choo !
I love how they're selling "It's Not Funny" as a Ventriloquism album
I love that David eventually named a comedy album after a ventriloquism album after a rap song. 😂
"Champion the Drinker"
Ah yes. There is a place for me in this world as a professional.
Kill or Be Killed not hiding the fact that he's laughing or about to laugh is hilarious. All of 1:43 to 2:40 makes me laugh so hard that my sides hurt. It's so ridiculous.
The west coast brother was laughing his ass off the entire time during the special report.
This is the first Mr Show sketch I ever saw and still probably the funniest. Only rival is Rap: The Musical.
God, I love Mr. Show.
25 years later, Champion The Drinker would play a dressed up dog named Peanutbutter...
Gentlemen, control your puppets!!!
On every level and every second this hits funny chords!
1:39 very first time I caught "This is becoming a $16,000 a year industry."
champion, the drinker!!!! one of my fav jokes ever on tv
"Oh, you men."
Kills me how he delivers, "The best coast is the better of the two coasts."
That East-West Coast rivalry has been going on longer than rap and ventriloquism. It is a nice window in life back then too.
I fucking lost it at the puppet meeting. XD
I'd pay a shite-load of moolah to own one of the two following :
a) a 60 minute VHS tape of Jay Johnston doing Choo Choo the Hurkey Jerkey Dancer
b) that countertop cardboard display of Pickles and Mr. Barnett ventriloquism CD's
I know they're not supposed to be, but the two west coast ventriloquists in the cutaway interview genuinely are pretty intimidating. They totally nail the aging mafia boss vibe. I could totally see guys like this putting a hit out on someone.
I always get a kick out of this sketch. It cracks me up lol.
the actor playing Wally P Doyle is the voice of spongebob. his name is Tom Kenny
"these guys got their fucking talking dolls and shit" is the best line by far
Choo Choo is the sole reason I love Jay Johnston
@graaar YES YES YES!!!! The dvds are awesome, and the commentaries are hilarious, too!!
one of my all time favorite Mr. Show segments
I am filled with joy every time I see David turn on the TV and I see Choo Choo.
I would love it if Choo Choo came to my party
XD
I love the way John emphasises the wrong syllable in “TV” :-)
That’s the Norm Macdonald pronunciation. Quite popular in Canada.

"What's on the funny video show tonight?"
😂😭🥰🥰
I must have watched this at least 10 times, and I just realized that's Jill Talley as the woman at the beginning.
+RetepAdam Yes! Candy Addams with Entertainment 4 Every1! She rocks this role. :D
Tom Kenny is the Victim Wally P. Doyle.
And, yes, Jill and Tom are Married.
Gotta love Choo-Choo, the hurkey jerky dancer.
We regret to inform you that Choo Choo The Hurkey Jerky Dancer is an insurrectionist
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep I'm sure he had a good reason.
I also love the use of the Chicago font for the names of the acts at the beginning. Why doesn’t it look that good when I use it?
2:25 I love you can hear Odenkirk laughing a bit there
I’m pretty sure that’s Killa B Killed, he’s smiling or laughing the WHOLE time.
This sketch is a test for my first wife, if she laughs at this sketch I will marry her. This is one of the many reasons I'm single at 38 :P
If you don't laugh at the dummy under the corpse sheet, you are not human.
punkpinksugar hahaha absolutely! The same is true for when Ronnie Dobbs says "no YOU'RE under arrest".

The comic genius of meshing rap beefs with puppets 😂😂😂
Paul F. Tompkins AND a dog named Peanut Butter directly after? Is this a crossover episode?
"Oh,you men..." haha
Gentelmen...control your puppets!
Oh you men! Gets me every time.
"man - step off!"
