I think Mr. Show was average sketch comedy. A lot of the sketches were duds, many were also very good. What saved it in so many cases was its ability (because it was on HBO) to drop a curse word in an otherwise mediocre sketch. The characters are acting like corny honkies when one of them all of the sudden drops the f-bomb in a situation where it is completely out of place (i.e. the swearing in the globochem commercial). This also allowed good sketches to be great.
