A Mr. Show sketch, 'Blow Up the Moon', in which characters cheerfully argue for blowing up the moon.

Used purely as a joke reference in threads about the moon, Project A119 and big dumb ideas.

Hell yeah! It would be very cool if we are able to properly colonize the moon in my lifetime. Even if we don't have humans living there like in Futurama (as cool as that would be), it would be unbelievably cool if we have constant back-and-forth trips to the moon. Or we could just blow it up, which might be fun in its own right: ▶ this video

"Tonight we can, will and must blow up the moon." "Earth First: We're earthlings, we should blow up earth things. No to blowing up the moon!" ▶ this video

Sure this makes complete sense and everyone I know is all for it, but shouldn't we be concentrating on blowing up the moon first? ▶ this video

Fascinating. I never knew the Mr. Show segment “Let’s Blow Up the Moon”[1] had any basis in fact. [1] ▶ this video
