The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!)

The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!) is a live album released by the American rock band Blink-182 in 2000. It documents the band's arena tour in support of their 1999 album Enema of the State.

The album's title is a reference to Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back and is indicative of the band's juvenile and often crude humor. The content of the album largely consists of live performances of songs from Enema of the State, Dude Ranch, and Cheshire Cat, interspersed with the band members' stage banter, which is often sexually explicit or otherwise intentionally shocking.

The live performances on the album capture Blink-182's energetic stage presence and their ability to connect with a large audience. However, the album is equally known for its extensive collection of jokes, insults, and off-the-cuff remarks, showcasing the band's comedic dynamic. Some segments feature extended improvisations and audience interaction.

The album was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart. It is considered by many fans to be a definitive representation of Blink-182's early sound and comedic sensibility. It also serves as a time capsule of the late 1990s/early 2000s pop-punk scene. While the music is important, the humorous interludes contribute significantly to the album's identity and appeal.
