does anybody remember that show on MTV called THE STATE

[VD1]

You remember Louie that guy who would always say," I wanna dip my balls in it". Yeah, 1994, yeah those were the days of great comedy, even Saturday Night Live, kicked ass back then, but now it all sucks!!!!! except for curious George, and Dave Letherman.

man, that show was hilarious.....i was actually thinking of the "I wanna dip my balls in it" skit as soon as I read the thread title...

[velvetgoldmire]

The State is one of the best sketch comedy troupes ever. Mr. Show is also up there, but they are off the air now too. I think that the petition has reached enough ears, because, according to the grapevine, a DVD will be released soon.

Three members of The State- Michael Showalter (Doug- the "I'm outta heeeeeeeeeere" guy), Michael Ian Black (watch the VH1 I love the 80's), and David Wain (the jew from "The Jew, The Itailian, and The Red-Head Gay")- tour as the comedy trio Stella. My roomate saw them and bought the DVD, which is so funny and oh so wrong.

anyone remember that singing group called SWV? It stood for ‘sisters with voices.’ Marketing sure did snooze on that one! Ah, memories.

It's been discussed :D

[Synthetikid]

a lot of the people from the state are on reno 911

[bboyneko]

Mrs. Bob (Todd): Oh, thank you both so much for finally having us over to your new place.

Steve (Mike S): Well, we are so happy you could be here.

Kerri: I'm going to the kitchen, would anybody like anything else?

Bob (Ken): Yeah, yeah. Could I get some more of this neon blue...I think it's meat?

Kerri: Sure Bob.

Bob: What is it, it's terrific!

Steve: Isn't it?

Bob: Yeah.

Steve: We never had any until we moved to the area, but now we are hooked!

Mrs. Bob: Is it fish?

Kerri: No, it's muppet.

Bob: I'll be darned. I didn't know you could eat muppet.

Kerri: Well, yeah, it was Steve's idea. We backed over one our first night here.

Bob: Huh?

Steve: Yeah, the little guy was learning his numbers off the licence plate, and it seemed like a waste to bury it, so I said, "Hey, let's fry it up!"

Bob: Waste, not want ...(?)...

Mrs. Bob: That's awful, eating run-over muppet!

Kerri: Oh, no. We didn't run over this one. Steve's become quite the hunter, haven't you sweetie?

Steve: Honey...

Kerri: Why don't you show 'em?

Steve: All right.

Bob: Come on Steve, (mumbles)

Steve: You're gonna love it, you're gonna love it.
(out the window) I sure could use some help counting to four.

Cute lil' Muppet: Well, we could start by counting the legs on our table.
Wha-ooww! (As Steve breaks its neck)

Bob: Oh no. Now, I'll never know how many legs a table has.

All: (laugh)

Bob: Hey, they got a lot of meat on there.

Kerri: Oh, but that's a green one. Try for a blue one, Steve. We only have red wine.

Bob: Oh, ooh! Can I try? Would that be okay?

Steve: Sure, yeah.

Bob: I wanna give it a shot.
Gee, the bus station is far. I wonder what's near.

HUGE ASS 8 foot tall Monster Muppet: Near.

Steve: (in a shaky voice) Show us...far.

HUGE ASS 8 foot tall Monster Muppet: Faaaaaaar....

Steve: Yikes!

Bob: I was full anyway.

Kerri: Why don't you take one home as a pet?

Bob: That's a great idea.

Steve: The kids will love it!
Boy, I sure do wish I knew how to tie my shoes...I may trip...I wonder what words start with the letter "O"...I wonder...

David: Well, let's sing the "O" song, then. And it's gonna help you tie your shoes, too.
Did you know that I love that letter "O"
Tie up my old shoe-

Mrs. Bob: (over David's singing) I'm not taking that home to my son, because I'll end up cleaning up after it.

David:Hey, let's sing a song about Oregon, Oh!
OH!!! (as Steve breaks his neck.)

Kerri: Stay for desert?

Bob: Sure, always have room for that.

[dj_peake]

[znrg3k]

[SCHLiTZ]

I loved watching The State.... my favorite sketch was the one about the sideways house.

"DAMN YOU SIDEWAYS HOUSE! YOU KILLED OUR SON!"

I was watching yesterday and the sketch about the man's chest being colonized by Spain was on.... hillarious. :afterbuzz:

[Mokey]

I loved "the state" I liked the porcupine race track musical skit. My friend had the whole collection on vhs. That show was awesome.

[bboyneko]

u can still download all the episodes via kazaa

[Distraction]

There will be nothing even remotely close though to:

Barry and Lavon's Passion Pudding Palace.....where they got $200 and $40 worth of pudding

Kids in the Hall I saw over at Warner Theater a few years ago and they were still absolutely hilarious...it was the entire cast....

The State ruled too, too bad it got shut down :( Reno 911 does feature two cast members of the old troupe, but that's it I think that's it.....

[The Logic Theorist]

"Doug, what's this?"

"It's Oregano.. I brought it for cooking class."

"Doug, that's an awful lot of Oregano."

"It better be, I paid 40 bucks for it."

[decoy]

I like the skit where either barry or levon, I can't remember which, lost his groove and wanted to go antiqueing in the vinyard. Funny funny stuff.

[BizarroCub]

Actually...I think my favorite state episode is where they took all of the main and recurring characters and did them all in Kabuki theater.

Of course at the end they all commit sepuku.

-Grizz

[bboyneko]

reno 911 has 3 cast members, but ive seen several others from the state guest starring, like the dude who was going door to door telling everyone hes a sex offender

[ao125]

The State was the best... thank god Reno 911 picked up where it left off - but it will never be the same again.

[sirenofthestorm]

I am crushing you head!

[bboyneko]

also if you watch the show carefully, youll see reno 911 cast members play the roles of other people..like the former state castmember who is the K9 dude who always wears his bullet proof vest, he is the Mime whenever they have a mime.
