Ep 5. Episode 5
W/ Bob & David is a sketch comedy show featuring comedians Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. In season 1, episode 5, the duo presents a mixture of hilarious and absurd sketches.
The episode begins with a skit set in a corporate office, where a high-powered executive announces an initiative to promote diversity in the workplace. However, his efforts are comically undermined by the arrival of a group of clowns, who proceed to disrupt the meeting with their antics.
The next sketch takes place in a small-town hardware store, where a clueless employee attempts to help a customer find a specific item. Despite the customer's increasingly frustrated attempts to explain what she needs, the employee remains oblivious, leading to a hilariously absurd exchange.
Another sketch features Bob and David as two survivalists living in a post-apocalyptic world. The duo showcases their survival skills and discusses their plan to rebuild society, but their efforts are undermined by their own self-absorbed tendencies.
Later on, the show presents a mock game show called "Know Your Goobers," in which contestants are asked to identify different types of goobers (slang for foolish or ridiculous people). The sketches in this segment are a hilarious send-up of classic game show tropes, complete with cheesy sound effects and over-the-top contestant introductions.
In a particularly memorable sketch, David plays a neurotic man who becomes obsessed with a tiny stray hair on his forehead. Despite his friends and family's attempts to reassure him that the hair is barely noticeable, he becomes increasingly manic about removing it, leading to a series of comic mishaps.
The episode also features a music video parodying the classic rock ballad, in which Bob sings about his love for his favorite lunch meat, pastrami. The song features absurd lyrics and nods to classic rock visuals, making for a hilarious and memorable bit.
Overall, W/ Bob & David season 1 episode 5 is a great example of the show's unique blend of absurd humor, sharp satire, and sheer comedic talent. With a variety of skits that range from the silly to the surreal, it's a great showcase for the skills of Bob and David, as well as their talented cast of guest stars and comedians.
