I love that they actually had Bob Odenkirk pretend to shred and used that audio instead of dubbing him over with an actual player, makes the sketch that much funnier
I love how he’s practically never appeared in anything where he didn’t scream “GAWWWDdammit” out of nowhere, except for maybe Undone and Wayne’s World 2.
When I first saw Bob Odenkirk on the Ben Stiller show, I always thought that his laugh was a stage laugh. But, that laugh he makes at 2:56, is his real laugh. I've always thought that that is hilarious. Just a naturally silly man. LOL
Joke doesn't work for him. People know he sucks, and they like his movies because of the "so bad it's funny" thing. Nobody's pretending he's actually good.
@@dragons_red this was one of the most influential sketch shows ever. Anyone in comedy knows this show, and if you have friends who “don’t remember it” they’re probably not old enough to or just don’t know about sketch comedy Bc this really wasn’t as obscure as y’all are making it sound
Bob Odenkirk is a gift of an actor and a lot of people don't even realize how awesome this guy really is.. I remember going to the concert and buying that same exact Metallica shirt
@@lopiklopthey don’t, he still remains underrated to this day. And when he is recognized it’s always only as Saul Goodman and not his talent beyond that role.
This is just one of the greatest sketches that has ever existed. The way they establish a connection between two totally unrelated concepts: Guitar skill vs surviving an illness is just sheer genius. The way they establish an inverse connection good at guitar = gonna die bad at guitar = gonna live is just comedic genius.
This sort of humor reminds me of the comic Asterix the Legionary, where the writer went out of his way to stuff the story with similar connections: being polite suddenly means to hit someone, if someone's crying he's always assumed to be lovesick, Egyptian hieroglyphics are used to make terrible puns, and more.
I've seen this skit a dozen times over 20 years, but I just realized the subtext that we all have IDS, yet we don't treat each other like it. It's too awkward. :/
Suicidal Tendencies song, “No Fuckin’ Problem” from the album, “Suicidal for Life”, circa 1994 opening the sketch. Love that album, and was quite surprised and pleased they used the tune in his sketch when I first saw it in 2002.
It's sad that the fantastic writers behind the well written Saint's Row reboot have imminent death syndrome, all of them. They're fantastic writers, it's tragic.
One thing you miss about Mr. Show by viewing individual sketches is the fact all the sketches are usually connected in some way and segway from one to the next (kind of like Pulp Fiction). Then at the end of the show they bring everything full circle to reference a joke they told at the start of the show.
All of the higher-level improv troupes shoot for that (and it's much easier to do on a scripted show written well in advance). There's a famous improv stucture/format called "the Harold" (not invented by but perhaps best popularized by Del Close and the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre) that shoots for having a central theme introduced at the start, then three story thread offshoots from that theme which ideally all come together in some interconnected way at the conclusion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_(improvisation)
Lol, jesus man. Four fuckin' dicks... ...are what you must have in your head instead of brains if you thought you needed to tell people that Tom Kenny voices spongebob.

![Run Ronnie Run [2002]](/img/n.gif)
The “Wait-wait..” while lousily playing an instrument is spot-on
I always do that joke on guitar
I laughed so fuckin' hard at that when I first saw this like 25+ years ago lol
Hits terribly close to home!
"You've got an instinctual strum."

nothing is funnier than when Bob freaks the hell out and yells at someone.
“SHUT UP HONEY I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS NOW YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT ME”
I love how he’s practically never appeared in anything where he didn’t scream “GAWWWDdammit” out of nowhere, except for maybe Undone and Wayne’s World 2.
Except maybe when he sings
I love it when bob yells, but I think John Ennis had the best yells on the show
Alright cut the SHIT!

"NO, YOU CAN'T YOU SUCK AND YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME!"
The Bob yelling skits are always great.
"It was 3 times! You weren't here for the 1st!"
QUIET HONEY I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS NOW YOU SUPPORT ME
Free horsey rides. I mean, doctor's office.
Wait wait.
Anyone who has ever taught guitar knows that the “wait. Wait. Wait. Wait wait” is 100% spot on.
This explains Tommy Wiseau...
Joke doesn't work for him. People know he sucks, and they like his movies because of the "so bad it's funny" thing. Nobody's pretending he's actually good.
This is the funniest show that nobody ever seems to remember if I bring it up.
It’s your favorite comedians favorite sketch show
Partly because it was on HBO, qnd partly it's too "broad comedy" for folks in the US. These means the jokes aren't as obvious as generic sitcoms.
"24 is the highest numbah!"

Saul, Tobias, and SpongeBob really do make quite the comedy trio here!
Tom's reaction around the 4:20 mark is amazing
wait, wait. wait, wait. wait, wait.
Saul Goodman was a hair rocker and a doctor in the 1990’s.

What is IDS?
@@ivanramos92 IDS DEEZ NUTS
You're putting us all in an awkward position.
I use that "wait-wait-" so often now
Same. Both me and my bud who play guitar bring it up to this day.

Good ear, thanks for the reminder.
@@seanwarren9357 For me, it stuck out like a sore thumb cause it was always a stand out track from that album to me.
Finally. A video explaining the backstory behind how Saul learned Smoke on the Water.
Then I met you dude.....then I met you.
Best part!
That rocker look is somehow amazing on Tom Kenny.
Looks like a scuffed Randy Rhoads
"Quintin Tarantino, the actor, not the director" so true🤣🤣🤣
I'm a guitar teacher. Part of my job is giving students vague medical news after ominous phone calls.
Adam Sandler was diagnosed with IDS at an early age. He and Rob Schneider met in an IDS clinic.
Adam Sandler was diagnosed with IDS two days after he was born.

BRILLIANTNESS has never shined so much... poor guys.
Tom Kenny looked like Rod Stewart in the Guitar skatch lol I think they were making fun of Blackie lawless too lmao
Tobias, Saul, and SpongeBob. Can’t believe I only just learned about this show
"Clapton lives, man!" I say that line anytime I hear someone play a guitar.
He definitely lives. As of this very day
Yeah, he lives inside all of us, man.@@zackamania6534
Truly one of the greatest sketches of all time.
IDS diagnosis could be a real turning point for me, but sadly it hasn't come yet.
Sad indeed.

Even the first line was a call back to an earlier joke from a different sketch, "Who let you in here?"
The moments of improv are on point lol. Can’t believe i’ve never seen this. It reminds me of madtv.
"wait wait" so accurate LOL
Suicidal Tendencies song in the very beginning.
I got “No Fuckin’ Problem” with that. No fuckin’ problem at all. 🤟🏻😆🤟🏻
The way he keeps saying wait is something only a crappy musician would know
I feel attacked
Lold at that. So realistic
Hey, we all started somewhere, right?
"We all suck when we start!"
Instinctual Strum!
Bob looks a LOT like my guitar teacher.
The late, great Joe Frank doing the voice-over, classic!
Another one of their most brilliant sketch ideas that blows up even bigger with the IDS concept.
wait wait.
Well, 3 of those listed at the end have died since this aired.
+TacomaPaul IDS is a very serious condition.
Turned out they actually really sucked.
Make it 4 now, and yes this was the first thing I thought of when I heard Jerry Lewis had died.

@@lmletalheadcrab Yes, about 7 billion people are diagnosed with IDS.
Joss Whedon has IDS
Until recently I had no idea Bob has been in so much and was so funny
The kid from Boyhood.
Wonderful series.
Sometimes when Tom Kenny raises his voice it sounds a bit like SpongeBob
So brilliant
One joke I never noticed was "Clapton lives!!" Clapton's not dead.
Wait wait, wait wait, wait.....hilarious.
brian posehn looks so different w/o glasses and goatee.
I think Larry's mom has Mob connections...
David Cross Bob Odenkirk crazy
What about Jeff Foxworthy?
This sketch is a good way to explain programming logic
"you got instinctualll.. strum."
These dude are funny, I hope they do well!
greatest show ever
Hail Satan Network.
"Brilliant show"
Yo they got the jack white guitar on the back wall
This is maybe my favorite bit from this show
There are q couple. Titanica? Try try try again!
Opened with a Suicidal Tendencies riff from "No fukin problem at all" cool
6:11 inspiration for walt junior.
It's contagious also.
Love the hofner in the back
I was gonna comment on this video but you've already said it all.
That guy with the pink and blonde mullet is the voice of spongebob
Jonathon Gordon ya think?
everybody knows that
No shit
TOM KENNEY IS THE VOICE OF SPONGEBOB?!!?! NO WAY!!!!! …...said nobody older than 25.
Lol, jesus man. Four fuckin' dicks...
...are what you must have in your head instead of brains if you thought you needed to tell people that Tom Kenny voices spongebob.
Perfect.
we all have IDS
This explains the Corey Feldman phenomenon somehow
Crazy stuff, they are far out there
Holy crap talk about a neverending sketch.
Maybe you got it off a toilet seat
Love the Suicidal intro!
+Eyeovultrasoul what song?
"No fuckin Problem" ( :
Thanks! Never heard it before but diggin it now :)
Thank God, now someone has finally explained Juliet Lewis to me. She even has an Oscar nomination, FFS!
Guitar god!
Jerry Lewis finally succumbed to IDS. :(
"Maybe you got it off a toilet seat."
Greatest thing anybody has ever said ever
Maybe
And he did it in an almost Spongebob voice, lol
Maybe it's Maybelline
Gayest thing.... dipshit
Can't stop checking out the Airline on the wall
The dudeliness.
Pleasant surprise to hear Joe Frank narrating.
Jimmy McGill in his early days!
2:06 "a message for DJ Khaled"
Since being diagnosed with cancer I keep feeling like I have imminent death syndrome because it's gone but can come back at any time 😭
Most people should be concerned about cancer, as rates are only going up over time, but fear nothing, death comes for us all.
How' do you shred? I heard Justin's a Guitar God :)
I might be too high for where this is going
Wtf they had an airline on the wall?
Shreddin Jimmy
instinctual strum
"free horsey rides, i mean doctor's office"
That lil jacky white airline in the background *💋muah
SPONGE BOB VOICE ACTOR....COOL
what about Anna Hathaway?
I actually had a guitar teacher who was like this.
He played very funny pranks?
@@wheedler NO but he thought I sucked and was wasting his time. So I quit and joined a punk band. Turns out I wasn't even good enough at guitar for that so I became the singer instead.
