Oh, same. That one and the lie detector get me every time. There was only one other kid in high school who I knew that both had HBO and loved Mr. Show.

Also - [The Story of Everest](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyrM7GxyzGg). This one gets me every single time, as repetitive as it is.

I just rewatched the Wyckyd Sceptre sketch. I love how completely frustrated their managers are that the band sees absolutely no connection at all between having sex with each other and being gay. I also thought that Marilyn Monster was a pretty clever sketch.
