Haven't seen Mr. Show since watching my ex-husbands curated, pirated, MTV/Comedy VHS mixtapes circa 2005. Tenacious D, Mr. Show, Kids in the Hall, Space Ghost.

Salute Your Shorts was really a banger at the time too, fun show with a great theme song. I was happy to see the actor who played Donkey Lips get a small part in Dude Where's My Car many years later. He's one of the cult members.

When I was a freshman in college, this weird super senior used to always creep around us (all former 90’s kids) and pop up uninvited at the most random times and situations. We joked that he was basically Alex Mack and could just materialize into dorms and other off-limits locations this way!
