Tim And Eric Awseome Show Great Job
« on: February 11, 2007, 07:04:44 PM »
... is almost too funny to be true. It's amazing.  Watch Episode#1 here...
I don't understand why they get shat on whenever they appear on the Best Show (not by Tom, of course). I'm aware of the crossover between the shows which makes me wonder if there's some sort of inside joke afoot?  Or are there really that many haters?     
 
Either way, I think Tim and Eric are brilliant.  Consider me POLARIZED!

Just not wild about it. It had its funny moments, but it isn't my bag. I'll watch it again see if it is better on the second pass.

The only belly laugh I got was the zoom-in on the B'owl's eye in the trash can.  I'd watch a whole show of a silent zoom in on a hideously ugly stuffed animal's eye.

If they put that on in According to Jim's slot and called it According to Jim, I bet people would watch with the same vacant looks on their miserable fat faces. 

And they say I am an elitist!  Ha, sir, I say!  Ha!
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

My wife and I were watching Great Awesome Job Show last night and we had tears streaming down our faces. You know when you get that tightness in the back of your head from laughing uncontrollably? That was me. John C. Reilly and the singing burn victim got me.

It was kind of Wonder Showzen-y, but that's fine because it looks like Wonder Showzen is down for the count.

I loved the perspective on the mic wires in the opening and closing.

It is a bit like Wonder Showzen, but funny and decidely less evil.

I was nearly convinced, while listening to Tom's interview of Tim and Eric, that the whole thing was a hoax.  I decided by the end of the interview that it was probably for real.  I was still somewhat surprised when looking through the TV listings to find out that it's for real.  I missed the first episode but am looking forward to it.

I have hated all of their radio interviews but I like their tv shows and internet crap pretty well.  I guess something just doesnt translate, their schtick (sp?) doesn't seem to work on the radio.  But this pilot - I liked maybe 45% of it, particularly the J.C.R. bits.

I liked most of episode two.  Some of it had me dying laughing.  The balls thing I didn't like and also the things with the hairy baby.  John C. Reilly was fantastic and I liked the Limp Lip thing.

As funny as some of the bits can be, there's no "Tom who goes to the Mayor" kind of person to tie the episode together. Sub-Awesome Mr.Show, Fair Job!
Do mysteries really exist?

Slap your face!...
Slap you friend!...
Get sexy kids!...
Doo doo DOO doo
Stinks in here...
Smells like meat!...
Rotten meat!...

So basically T&EASGJ is probably my favorite show or at least one of them. I think I still like TGTTM more, it will always be my number one favorite show.

One of my favorite parts of Tom Goes to the Mayor, and glad to see it continuing in Awesome Show Great Job, is the Jan and Wayne Skyler Only Married Regional News Team bits.  They know how to pull off hillarity with the slightest expression.

Along with Steve Brule (for your health!) I can't imagine not finding this funny.

I've been fluffing this show from the get-go, but THIS WEEK'S episode w/ David Cross, Will Forte, and legend-to-be Maria Bamford is by far my favorite.  Unbelievably funny.
