the best of mr. show

I don't have an issue with any of the sketches listed in Splitsider's "24 Best 'Mr. Show' Sketches", just the order (I don't really get why The Story of Everest is so revered) and some glaring omissions. Of what's listed there, Taint, Larry Kleist and Fairsley's are my favorites. But look at the comedy gold that was left off!

Three Times One Minus One


Civil War vs. Ren Faire vs Star Trek

Indomitable Spirit


Guitar Lesson


Show Me Your Weenis


Good News (timely, with Exodus International closing shop)

This isn't outrageous to me, because I know Hannity is a hypocritical bullshit artist. It isn't outrageous to you, because you know Hannity is a hypocritical bullshit artist. What I don't understand is how Hannity followers don't see what you and I clearly see. The cognitive dissonance astounds.
