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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi18_nHgSFs) 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.
-
...was....was that Paul Reubens as the Moon?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I don't get why it's apparently so "polarising". It just seems kinda dumb.
-
This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi18_nHgSFs) is my favorite sketch.
. . .
. . . What in fuck's name was that?
-
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.
-
You're right, we should go back to talking about how horrendously awful this show is.
Because holy crap it is so bad.
-
What do you watch, Bryan? Comedy Central?
-
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.
-
What I am trying to say is that this show is bad and you should feel bad for liking it.
-
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.
-
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.
-
You should all be watching the Wire, anyway.
-
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.
-
Season 3 of Venture Brothers starts early next year, if I recall correctly.
-
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.
He "mentored" Tim and Eric. Now he's "mentoring" another, slightly less dumb pair of dudes on Superdeluxe. Simon and... something.
-
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 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=l9sUqk2vwjI) people back to good health?
-
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.
-
The clips posted so far have done a wonderful job of convincing me that this show is absolutely awful. Will not be watching further.
-
I love this show... :)
here is my favorite sketch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTtpawbIPuk&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTtpawbIPuk&feature=related)

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.
-
I...I really, really hate to say this but...
I watched the first half of the Cats episode. I laughed. I feel dirty.
-
I mean, I loved Mr. Show, but I would choose Tim and Eric any day.
Wow.
I mean...
Wow.
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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_2KUXDACoU) and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgxL_ReOpJE&eurl=http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/20/tim-and-erics-dr-steve-brule-loves-video-games/).
-
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
-
Can this thread be about Mr. Show clips plz?
NO ONE HELP HIM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyrM7GxyzGg&feature=related)
-
Mr. Show's third and fourth seasons are absolutely (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXQi7-GKJp0) untouchable (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1mzDR3onnI).
-
You guys might appreciate the Lazy Horse (http://youtube.com/watch?v=mmEeEiO-Kpk) sketch. Also Steve Brule's Last Resort Fighting (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qoeqFOzOT4Y&feature=related).
-
They're funny, but they're no Mr. Show (http://youtube.com/watch?v=NCiTlMrMAhU).
-
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.
-
Are you sitting down?
I'm sitting down!
Are you making brown?
No I aint making brown!
Genius :lol:
-
Is that what's passing for genius these days?
Christ.
-
I finally got around to watching some of it on YouTube, I wish i didn't. More stupid than surreal....
-
All things david cross graces with his presence end too soon :cry:
-
Is that what's passing for genius these days?
Christ.
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!
-
It would have been a lot more effectively sarcastic if you'd used this guy instead: :roll:
-
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.
-
Everything I've seen done by Tim and Eric always looks the same.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Did someone say Zach Galifianakis? (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/e8e4424115)

Nice excuse for racism!
-
This show succeeded in making me very uncomfortable. I really had no strong feelings about its actual quality one way or another, but by the end of the episode I watched I merely felt kind of dirty and I needed to get outside.
This is exactly the same way I felt about Tom Goes to the Mayor, except I think I laughed a few times during TGttM, so I am not sure if this is intentionally what they are going for or not.
-

and, somehow, still hits below the mark.

Things on Adult Swim I enjoy:
Aqua Teen
early Sealab
Tom Goes to the Mayor
Tim & Eric (sometimes)
Things I am Equivocal About:
Venture Bros.
Metalocalypse
Things on Adult Swim I hate:
everything else
Seriously, Adult Swim has done more to revitalize adult animated entertainment in this country than anyone since Spumco. They have also done more to KILL IT. Twelve Ounce Mouse? Xavier: Renegade Angel? Moral "hur hur religion sure is dumb!" Oral? ASSY FUCKING MCGEE???
-
Even with the Venture Bros. (the only thing I like on the channel these days) Adult Swim's best era was the Space Ghost Coast to Coast era. Back when it was mostly character-based comedy instead of "hey! random shit!" comedy. Though those days didn't lack in randomness by any means.
I figured this thread needed more posts that were written as though from an old man.
-
Mr Show is great! Thank you, this thread, for introducing me to it.
-
The best sketch this show has ever done is the one with the automated bank.
"Your wife's legal name is now: Taargüs Taargüs"
Other than that, it wavers between hit-and-miss and overly self-indulgent.
