The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back) is a live album by the American rock band Blink-182. Produced by Jerry Finn, the album was released on November 7, 2000 through MCA Records. Recorded over two nights at performances in the band's home of California in November 1999, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back) features the group performing songs from its first three albums mixed with snippets of off-color stage banter between guitarist Tom DeLonge and bassist Mark Hoppus.
Promoted as a limited edition release, it peaked within the top 10 in the US and several other countries. Critical reception was mainly positive, with many reviewers praising the album's speed and humor. "Man Overboard", a newly recorded studio track, accompanies the release and was issued as its lead single, peaking at number two on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The Mark, Tom and Travis Show was recorded on November 4, 1999 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California and November 5, 1999 at Universal Amphitheatre in Universal City, California on the group's Loserkids Tour. It was the band's first arena tour. "It was amazing, because it was the first time we'd ever done anything that big. I felt like a success story," said guitarist Tom DeLonge. The album was named after the band's mid-2000 worldwide tour, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show Tour. "We played the songs at lightning speed, and the dick jokes were at an all-time high. It was a perfect representation of what we sounded like and who we were at that time," drummer Travis Barker recalled in his memoir Can I Say (2015).
