"excuse me, do you have the new depeche mode?" "yeah we do...but they suck"
"the gypsies had no home, the doors had no bass"
as mentioned on the Raquetball thread...THE ERADICATOR!
"Gerald!"
"Gerry!"
"Ger!"
"G!"
The one where Mark as a woman comes to teach some workers how to throw a suprise party for a co-worker and they're totally clueless.
The one with the french-canadian furriers canoeing through moder-day canada and setting traps in an office, "let that one go, he may one day be vice president", pulling up to scott thompson dave foley says "we have calvin klein, perry ellis, and many Armani"

"And now Bruce McCulloch with an open letter to the people who watched the guy steal his bike wheel" [spoken by Scott]
[Bruce enters, bike lowered from above] Well, you knew it wasn't his wheel! What did you think? He was coming back for the rest of his bike later? Well, why didn't you do something? Why didn't you say something? You human piece of apathy! Why didn't you say, "Hey! That's not your wheel! That could be Bruce McCulloch's wheel! We love him! And he loved that wheel!" Just eatin' brunch. Well, didn't you think I needed it? I did! Well, look at that! Feast on that act of violence! Good work, Einstein! Pus!
"That was Bruce McCulloch with an open letter to the people who watched while the guy stole his bike wheel." [spoken by Scott]
[Bumper video of Bruce walking his incomplete bike.]
Dear Guy I Clotheslined As You Went By on Your Bicycle.You don't know me, but I'm the guy who broke your collarbone. Now I've asked myself over and over why did I clothesline that guy. Perhaps I watched too much slapstick as a kid and expected you to get up after being violently assaulted. Imagine my confusion when you did not. Although not so confused that I'd actually hang around.
In all fairness, It was pretty funny, I mean the last thing you'd expect as you were riding merrily by on your bike is that someone you didn't know at all would stick out his arm and crush your throat.
I mean, you really should have seen it, It was just like WAM! BAM! (hahaha)
ANY-WAY....
In closing, as you lay there convalescing in your hospital be, I'm forced to wonder 'What were you doing riding your bike on the sidewalk anyway, Huh, ya asshole? side-WALK!
Maybe sometimes we bring heartache upon ourselves.
Signed, the guy that collapsed your trachea.

When he's a big brother and the kid tells him he got a girl pregnant.
When he's flashing back to playing games with his mom.
When he's hosting his painting show:
Now if you remember all great paintings have an element of tragedy to them. Uh for instance if you remember from *last* week, the unicorn was stuck on the aircraft carrier and couldn't get off. That was very sad. Uh and this week some of you wrote in with your suggestions. In fact Mrs. Trabinsky of Paulvale Street wrote in and suggested we give this lover [points to man in painting] a tumor in his head. So, let's begin! Now colour is especially important with a tumor. You want some red [uses brush to take some red paint and moves it to a different part of the palette], and you want some green [takes green paint on brush and mixes it with the red], and you want a little bit of blue [takes blue paint and mixes it with the others] to make it out-- There. Can you see that? That's a really nice colour for a tumor isn't it? Alright. Now, let's work with the colour we've created and add the tumor. [paints tumor on top of the head of the man] Now the thing is we don't want the tumor too big, we don't want to [points to mountains] steal focus from the mountains, okay? And what we'll do is we'll reflect the tumor in the water, down here, but we work again with the colour we've created, [paints tumor on man's reflection] we just sort of imply it because we don't want to wind up screaming, "Hey everyone look! There's a reflection of a tumor in the lake!" It's not what we want. [looking at painting] Well this is uh... quite a sad painting now I think. Perhaps this is the last time our lovers will be here together. I don't think this one will be around the next time ss-the snows settle on the gentle slopes of Mount Schwarzkopf [pointing with brush to mountain] up here.

I say, "Well, I really hate Jazz."
They say, "What do you hate about poor old Jazz?"
I say, "The sound. The sound that Jazz instruments make when they're being manipulated by Jazz players to the delight of Jazz respondents. I think of it as musical barf."
They say, "I don't think you've given Jazz a chance."
Well, I maintain, I haven't given suicide a chance, but. . .Well, I did give suicide a chance, but that was only because I was threatened with Jazz. You know. Jazz music.
One thing I hate--One thing I hate is being woken up in the middle of the night, when I'm dreaming about, say, promiscuity with dignity [Man off camera "All right."], by a rap-tap-tappin' on my window by those guys with goatee things on their faces, saying, "Hey. Can we come in? Beano's clarinet's gettin' wet." And then they go into this sorta Gene Krupa trance. Jazz schmazz. I'm sorry; I've got to go that far. Jazz schmazz.
You know what? I'd like to declare this a Jazz-free zone, about forty miles as far as the Jazz-hatin' crow flies in any direction. Just paradise. Those guys would go to work, and it wouldn't be there.
I'm gonna ask a question. What sort of music do you think there is in hell? You know, H-E-double hockey sticks? Well, I think it's probably hateful, free-form Jazz. And in heaven? Country and Western music. The choice is pretty obvious. It's not Jazz. It's not bop-a-dop bop-be-bop-bo Jazz. [to flutist:] What's that? A recorder or something? I'm not into it. Fuzz pedal, that's what I'm into. You know?

I'm of two minds here, inasmuch as I'm happy they're doing their thing again but I've also engaged with very little that they've done since Brain Candy. Kinda unsure whether that early spark of brilliance can ever be recaptured tbh. But that's okay, the OG show is in my all-time top two and it's one of my all-time favorite cultural products period, so they can do whatever they want and I will feel happiness for them.

He claims his child support was several times his income (I assume being based on his income during their marriage in the 90s and not taking in to consideration where his career ended up?) and he would be arrested for not paying if he returned to Canada on Maron

Alimony based on how much he was making as the star of newsradio. When his career wasn’t at such heights he tried to adjust it but was denied and now can’t go back to Canada or something. I saw he had a special streaming a few years back and tried to watch it and it was terrible and depressing. Mostly telling the story of that situation and complaining about his ex. I don’t remember it even being funny. This is the guy who would do the most amazing monologues, just smart and surreal and hilarious. It was depressing. I always loved that about them. All the bits where it’s just one of them standing there. I’m a bad doctor. Fuck my Bank. Buddy. The one where mark is sitting there losing the feeling in his leg because he stubbed his toe and don’t treat it.
