Tim And Eric Awseome Show Great Job

[John Junk 2.0]

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).

Trembling Eagle, we may actually be on the same page about this.

[erika]

eeeevil? like satan? really?

I usually think of things like Nancy Grace's show as satanic. To each his own, I guess.

[mokin]

The only things that should be described as satanic are rock n roll and Satan.

Accepting that T&E are the most divisive thing in comedy today, I'll just say I almost love them as much as our eternal dark lord lucifer and quote Mr. Scharpling who I think said it best, in the form of a recap:

April 12, 2005: Tim & Eric From 'Tom Goes To The Mayor Check In. Some People Get Mad. If You're One Of Them, Fuck You You Don't Deserve Their Show, You Piece Of Shit. Maybe You're Too Fucking Dumb To Get It. And, Listeners Vote Whether Officer Tom Is Hall Of Fame-Worthy.

Other than that, what I need to mention is that I just spotted the guy who plays Kaz on T&EASGJ, playing a japanese energy drink producer on that new I Love NY show.

Well, nobody can say you didn't understand the show! I completely agree, and in that regard it might be the apotheosis of what Williams Street likes to do. It's uncomfortable to watch sometimes, but for every scene that is completely and totally unwatchable, there's something just stone cold brilliant. I've always thought that no matter what you think of Adult Swim, it must be defended because it's the last bastion of uniqueness and creativity on all of television.

Bravo! to free expression and artistic experimentation.


However, whenever my friends and I unleashed our finely tuned inside jokes on the public, it was seen as adolescent and annoying. Granted we were 14, but I see little difference between ours and T&E.


They stink (me thinks), sorry s(n/l)obs

I liked their bit on the Best Show when they were "on the road in Kalamazoo."

Tom Goes to the Mayor is occasionally amusing to me.  Great Job is like diamonds hidden in a pile of dirt.  Not awful, but it takes too much work to find them.  For me.

That said, I have been watching and laughing my ass off to the last 30 seconds of that Jackie Chan thing for two solid days.  The way that guy loses his smile is incredible.

[Bryan]

Yeah, that whole Jackie Chan episode is brilliant.

im on an episode of this! im in the classroom scene on season 1. check me out!

[erechoveraker]

The acting class one?

[jamesp]

Some parts aren't that great but there are some episodes I've loved. Plus Dr. Steve Brule is classic.

That's how I feel. It's got about the same goodness/time ratio as SNL. If it didn't come at the same time as Human Giant I might have more of a desire for it, but when there is already a perfect weird sketch show on the air a hot and cold weird sketch show seems less worth watching.
I find myself liking Tim a lot more. They both deliver lines like they are reading from cue cards a lot, but for some reason its funny from Tim but annoying from Eric. That could be just me.

thats the one!
