"It's Perfectly Understandishable" was the twenty-fifth episode of the HBO series Mr. Show to air. It originally aired on November 23, 1998.
In this sketch, one of David's arms is fake so that he can hold his throat in order to talk in that Barry White-esque voice. David did this voice for another character in the earlier episode "We Regret to Inform You."
During the DVD commentary, Bob and David mentioned that they had originally wanted to get rapper Flava Flav to play the part of the rapper. Part of the joke was that the rapper would lose to Bob's character, even though Bob was terrible at rapping. Flava Flav responded saying that he was interested in the role, but he would only do it if he won the rap battle. This change would ruin the entire story, joke, and episode; so Sam Sarpong was used instead of Flava Flav.
