Biography
Three Times One Minus One (T.T.O.M.O) is a fictional R&B duo made up of Pootie T. and Wolfgang Amadeus Thelonius Van Funkenmeister The 19th and 3 Quarters (Played by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, respectively).
They are the performers of a song, "Ewww, Girl, Ewww", which is designed to promote literacy. In an interview on the WPCBCN (White People Co-opting Black Culture Network), both performers discuss the struggles of being white and borrowing black culture for their songs. The duo was honored at the Homage Awards (a send up of the Image Awards), which celebrates the borrowing of black culture by white entertainers. Their song "Goodbye 2 Every 1 Ever" garnered them a nomination for a Teardrop Award (Saddest song) at the 24th Annual Song Awards - which they lost to Horace Loeb's "Heaven Better Save Some Tears."

Odenkirk and Cross noted (in the Mr. Show DVD commentaries) that during interviews, Wolfgang does all the talking for the two, in a motormouth-like fashion, while Pootie says little if anything at all. Yet, during the songs, Pootie does all the singing, while Wolfgang's contributions are limited to interjecting "Damn!" in at appropriate moments.
The duo was also featured in the Mr. Show spin-off film Run Ronnie Run.
