Some comedy has always been more about audacity than funny (I can't beLIEVE he just said that!) Add non-sequitars into the mix (I wanna MEET that dad) and you create a sort of weird hybrid of comedy and car-wreck-gazing. If I watch 15 minutes of Tim and Eric product, I might laugh a few times, but as they repeat their bits from week to week, my I-can't-believe-they-are-doing-this slowly transitions into how-long-can-they-beat-this-in-the-ground. There are only so many scenarios in which fake vomiting is funny. Schtick is funny, sort of comforting when you're enjoying a personal favorite, but it's not enough.

Of course, this is ALL just my opinion.

Personally, I love Tim and Eric.

but as far as repeating material, you could pretty much say that about all comedy, even Scharpling and Wurster.

I wasn't too psyched about Season 3, but god damn if the new "Child Clown" skit isn't about the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Just the music that plays in the background of the video they cut to is Grammy-worthy.

"Steve Mahanahan's Child Clown Poison Spray."

Also good:

The first episode of this season was so-so, but the rest have been fantastic.

I've enjoyed the season thus far (more than the last one), but I absolutely cannot wait for Dr. Steve Brule's spinoff. I have no idea what the format would be, but if it's anything like the recent Griddleman sketch, I'm very excited.

In all honesty, I think as of late, I enjoy the stuff Tim & Eric write and other comedians perform much, much more than the stuff they do themselves. There are exceptions, but not many.

I can't stop singing/humming the Patton/tits song. Such a perfect weird little thing that was.

Not sure I've seen any of that -- any good examples?

Any and all of Dr. Steve Brule's appearances. Also, the Gravy Robber stuff that Zach G. did is pretty fantastic.

I love their performances.

Also, the cameos are not always hits - Rainn Wilson, I'm looking at you.

I don't like this show at ALL
I gave it plenty of chances, I just find it gross and rather satanic (not in a good way).
