Tim & Eric were just interviewed in the Onion AV Club ("Robin Williams is at the core of what we think is wrong with comedy, and in a lot of ways, entertainment."). Here is a run down of some of the people that will be popping up this season: John C Reilly, Jeff Goldblum, Rainn Wilson, Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis, A.D. Miles, Dave Navarro, Tom Skerritt, Robin Williams, Maria Bamford, Casey and his Brother, Steve Mahanahan, The Beaver Boys, Stephanie Courtney, Richard Dunn, and David Leibe Hart

There's also a familiar (misspelled) name in the writing credits, as well.

[Martin]

Indeed so.

Also, the first episode of the season is already up on adultswim.com.

[Dan B]

Who is Raz?  Dustin Diamond?

My dad said I can sell the poop tube.

[Martin]

I love how they've dubbed the words "Poop Tube" in that commercial.

[God Stewart]

Did everybody see this? Space Giants Quicktime

It was a piece they did with Eric Fenlser of G.I. Joe PSA fame. I was crying with laughter. It's so well observed.

The recommendations are coming from all the right places but I just can't get into it (although I DO like the Tom Goes to the Mayor shows)



Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job makes me feel like an old man, as in I don't want to understand this younger generation anymore

...same for Wondershozen.



I'd rather go play bingo or assemble a ship in a bottle than watch any more of these.

I can understand not liking T&EASGJ, but not liking Wonder Showzen is absolutely shameful.

True dat.

[Sploops]

I dunno.  I think it's funnier than TGTTM but still a mixed bag.  Like f'rinstance I love Dr Steve Brule and Casey and his brother but I "absolutely" despise those Carol sketches. Tom talks about Cristopher Guest hating people, what a mean-spirited sketch.  In general they seem to make fun of "odd" people like that puppeteer guy in a really exploitive way.  Like the jokes on him but he doesn't realize it.  Ugh.  I dunno.

[Jason]

Seriously, here's a clip from the new series.
How is this funny?

I realize that my not getting it/ no patients for this nonsense attitude might be taken as an achievement by the producers of these shows.

And I in all earnestness wish them as much success as these creations can bring them. But this old geezer doth not laugh.

Gotta keep it real.

[Stupornaut]

Given the choice between some baffling almost-comedy that seems a bit more awkward than flat-out hilarious and some show where '80s pop culture icons have sex and/or die horrible bloody deaths, I choose bafflement every time. (Unless the Venture Bros. count in that latter category.)

[God Stewart]

OK, I've completely lost track of this discussion and I'm vaguely sorry I ressurrected this thread. Can we agree that Space Giants is funny? It seems so universal compared to the show itself.

I'm also going to take a stand and say that I couldn't get past the first season Wonder Showzen because it was redundant and gross. I understand the irony and the child acting was amazing but, it just seemed like easy humor. The puppet interviewing people in the street de-evolved so quickly into "let's harass people," and the whole thing turned into: can you believe we're showing death and racism on Sesame Street? it was a good concept botched by lack of imagination. It was a skit stretched into a series. Were later seasons better/different? I'm willing to revisit it.

Gugh. Now I'm in the midst of a fight.

I guess I'm with you, Stupornaut. Give me character driven fun. Go team Venture.
