A clip from Mr. Show season 3 in which characters insist that 24 is the highest number. It is a short absurdist sketch about counting.

Posted as a joke in threads about naming large numbers and the size of infinity.

I have a degree in math but the first thing this headline made me thing of was still the "24 is the highest number" sketch from Mr. Show: ▶ this video Theoretical mathematics is often absurd, maybe that's why I like the sketch so much.

Not a discussion of Scott Aaronson's blog, but a relevant bit from Mr. Show, "24 Is The Highest Number." ▶ this video
