Mr. Show Birds!
I got really excited last night because I thought the SNL “Great Day” digital short used the same cartoon birds from the beginning of the “Intervention” Mr. Show sketch as some kind of private secret super-homage. They’re similar birds, but not the same birds, obviously. But how cool would that have been? HOW COOL?? Here’s the “Intervention” sketch which has both cocaine and a happy song in it and would have made sense as a homage, and is also Comedy History that must be constantly acknowledged:
(Oh, and also last night “I’ll look it up and if they are the same birds, I’ll put it on Jezebel!” (where I co-guest-edited this weekend) actually seemed like a reasonable plan. Also, I still choose to believe it was a Mr. Show homage.)
