Seriously, I wasn't fond of it at first, but since the episode "Cats", this has become my current favorite television show (that is, the only television show I really care about seeing right now). Not only because it is insanely surreal and hilarious, but because Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim know exactly how to boter the hell of their viewers with the imagery of their show.

Also, John C. Reilly is on it often.

This is my favorite sketch.

let me the first to say that i fucking hate this show with a passion. my friend Conrad is obsessed with it and always tries to make me watch it but i just can't handle it.

oh jesus it's terrible.

Oh, how the Bob Odenkirk has fallen.

It's the bee's knees. Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job is the best show, and the fact that it is so polarizing just makes me all the more fanatical. I understand why so many people hate it, though. From many, many perspectives, it can only be construed as a holocaust on everything that is good. Not my perspective though. From my perspective, it is the fucking BOMB-DIGGITY.

I feel as if (so far) the second season is not quite living up to the standard set by the first, but it's had its moments (namely the Snuggler).

And yeah Bob Odenkirk has fallen pretty far, but I feel as if T+EASGJ is redeeming him.

KvP · « **Reply #5 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 16:20 »

If by "redeeming" you mean "furthering his decline" then yes, I agree with you. I'd say Tim and Eric is like Mr. Show removed of all intelligence and style, but that would be an insult to Mr. Show.

tomselleck69 · « **Reply #6 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 16:51 »

Redeeming was meant by redeeming. If we can't agree that Tim and Eric is at the very least better than Let's Go to Prison... then... I don't know, I suppose we both feel how we already established we feel?

Storm Rider · « **Reply #7 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 17:38 »

Jesus fucking Christ this show is so terrible. My god I thought I couldn't hate anything more than Tom Goes to the Mayor, but then they one-upped themselves.

Emaline · « **Reply #8 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 17:40 »

I love this show with a passion. I try to explain to my boss on a regular basis how awesome this show actually is.

I had a chance to meet Tim and Eric, and because I felt like way too much of a fangirl, and a loser, and because all of my friends hate this show with a passion and I didn't want to go alone, I didn't go.

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #9 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 18:58 »

I fucking love this show but I haven't seen any of the second season because it's on at a shitty time.

However, I own the Tom Goes To The Mayor DVD set and I think they're fucking geniuses.

Truly, an amazingly polarizing show. I, too, send clips of this show to my friends and co-workers who think it's complete dogshit.

michaelicious · « **Reply #10 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 19:22 »

I don't get why it's apparently so "polarising". It just seems kinda dumb.

What the hell does Bob Odenkirk have to do with this? He has only been on the show a few times.. you guys act like he created it.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #13 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 22:05 »

You're right, we should go back to talking about how horrendously awful this show is.

Because holy crap it is so bad.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #14 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 22:29 »

What do you watch, Bryan? Comedy Central?

Storm Rider · « **Reply #15 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 22:46 »

I don't really watch TV very much, actually. Mostly because it's filled with shit.

Like this. Only the other shit is just bland, whereas this show is so bad it is like it is actually crapping in my eyes when I watch it, even for mere seconds.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #16 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 22:47 »

What I am trying to say is that this show is bad and you should feel bad for liking it.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #17 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 22:50 »

Well if you don't really have any other television shows that you think are better can you really call this shit?

Wait, of course you can. Your opinion is still shit though.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #18 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 23:05 »

Well, if we restrict it to Adult Swim, Metalocalypse, the Boondocks, Venture Brothers, Futurama, Frisky Dingo, Home Movies, Harvey Birdman, and Moral Orel are all better. If you're talking strictly about original Adult Swim shows, then strike off Futurama and Home Movies from that list.

Either way, the show is terrible.

Inlander · « **Reply #19 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 23:13 »

You should all be watching the Wire, anyway.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #20 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 23:14 »

Metalocalypse is all kinds of great. The Boondocks sucks pretty horrendously recently, though I used to like it. I didn't know the Venture Brothers still came on, since it has been more than a year since there has been a new episode. Frisky Dingo is complete shit, Home Movies has ended, Harvey Birdman is over (I think?) and Moral Orel is great. I think the point is how can you not like Tim And Eric?

Naw, I guess I'm just bein' mean because Metalocalypse and Tim and Eric are the only shows I ever watch.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #21 on:** 21 Dec 2007, 23:20 »

Season 3 of Venture Brothers starts early next year, if I recall correctly.

He "mentored" Tim and Eric. Now he's "mentoring" another, slightly less dumb pair of dudes on Superdeluxe. Simon and... something.

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #23 on:** 22 Dec 2007, 08:18 »

I think the Casey and his Brother skits are some of the funniest things I have ever, ever seen. Also, Beaver Boys.

How can you go wrong with Zach Galifianakis snuggling people back to good health?

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #25 on:** 22 Dec 2007, 11:33 »

Tim and Eric are about a million times funnier than Bob Odenkirk or Derek and Simon. I mean, I loved Mr. Show, but I would choose Tim and Eric any day.

Joseph · « **Reply #26 on:** 22 Dec 2007, 13:46 »

The clips posted so far have done a wonderful job of convincing me that this show is absolutely awful. Will not be watching further.

True story: I really had to take a shit the night this episode came on, but since the show is only like 11 minutes long, I figured I would just hold it. When this sketch came on, I literally almost shit myself laughing.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #30 on:** 22 Dec 2007, 18:55 »

I...I really, really hate to say this but...

I watched the first half of the Cats episode. I laughed. I feel dirty.

I'm going to sit here in stunned silence for a moment. It's one thing to like a show such as Tim & Eric, it's quite another to put it above something as titanically awesome as Mr. Show. Compare this and this.

est · « **Reply #32 on:** 23 Dec 2007, 00:13 »

I liked the end of that first long legs clip. Everything else was total shit that reminded me of some of the lame crap the Comedy Company used to do.

Also, Mr Show ftw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcaVSTsYyOI

Mr. Show's third and fourth seasons are absolutely untouchable.

You guys might appreciate the Lazy Horse sketch. Also Steve Brule's Last Resort Fighting.

They're funny, but they're no Mr. Show.

Johnny C · « **Reply #37 on:** 23 Dec 2007, 12:06 »

See, I think it's just the opposite. Season 1 and 2 were uneven, whereas Season 3 and 4 were unmatched. I also don't think the lows were anywhere near that frequent.

Yes! I was absolutely fucking serious in calling that a work of genius! Sadly you, as a social commentator on the downfall of our intellectual values, are spot on. How regrettable my very humble, throwaway comment was!

After reading this thread and clicking various links, I have reached severa conclusions:
Mr show is awesome
People hate this "Tim and Eric"
Tim and Eric isn't THAT bad, but every single other show I've ever seen ever in the history of everything is far far better.

OrigNES · « **Reply #45 on:** 14 Jan 2008, 04:54 »

Everything I've seen done by Tim and Eric always looks the same.

PacoSees · « **Reply #46 on:** 14 Jan 2008, 07:10 »

I wouldn't even pretend to like this show to avoid an argument. I watched the first five seconds of that first posted clip and new it was worse than Tom goes to the Mayor.

Why anyone above the age of ~~mentally retarded~~ seven would enjoy this show is why I hate American white people so much.

Paav · « **Reply #47 on:** 14 Jan 2008, 07:48 »

This show isn't even worth the time it takes to watch it. Absurdism can be great, but this show aims for the very bottom end of it.
