Stars in Rewind: David Cross' Horrible Audition
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, Stars in Rewind
Truth be told, the above video is from a television show and not a film. BUT, since David Cross (one of my favorite comedians) is in, like, every other movie these days, I felt we could let this one slide by. Plus, this is one of my most favorite Cross moments ever -- and anytime I have the chance to post a video from Mr. Show, I will take it without asking any questions. For those not familiar, Mr. Show with Bob and David was a sketch-comedy program on HBO long ago, starring David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. The above video, titled The Audition, happens to be one of my personal favorite segments from the show -- so much so that my friend and I bring it up all the time. Surfing around earlier, I stumbled upon the video over at Funny or Die and, well, it was fate. So here ya go -- enjoy your afternoon!
Favorite Mr. Show sketch? Sound off below.

Great, now you've got me LMAO at work. It was pretty funny the first 5 times I watched it. Then it stopped being so funny the sixth time. Then after the seventh viewing it got even more hilarious than ever!
Can't go wrong with Mr. Show.

"The Pre-Taped Call-In Show." So good. They talked about in the commentary that they had to map out the timeline because the writers would even get confused. That and "Change for a Dollar." They actually use "The Audition" a lot at Second City Chicago as a good sketch example - it's a classic!

Mr. Show fans or people looking to get into it should cruise around Target and Best Buy. I've seen the full collection at both for about $30 from time to time. Even at full price (which I believe is more than $50) it's worth every dime! Brilliance defined.
