AVC: In a way, it's like avoiding an actual punchline. It's like post-punchline humor.
Tim: We let the punchlines happen in people's heads. We just create a dead beat, then you know what to do. We don't need to spell it out. We joke about explaining it in a pamphlet, with explanations of why this should be funny to you.

This show is so fucking fantastic. The wackiness is absolutely hysterical--Jan's facial expressions and nuances, the whole silent-"I know" head-nod bit at the end of the "Carol' episode, the glitchy bits they do (USE MY CLO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OWNS)--I can't believe something like this is on television. It's utterly delightful.

I'd like to like this show, but it just doesn't work for me most of the time. The cameos get a laugh for sheer WTFery, and I like the creepy androgynous newscasters.

Has anyone heard the soundtrack, Awesome Record, Great Songs?
IT IS AWESOME. I will summarize the first track:
[40 seconds of music similar to the menu screen from an EA sports game in 1994. Or maybe Smash TV, I can't remember] [25 seconds of wicked 8th grade drum solo] "SPORTS! SPORTS! SPORTS! SPORTS! SPORTS" End.
Check it out, it's necessary.

R.I.P. chaki
"Doo Dah Doo Doo" stands up pretty well without the visuals. "have a glass of wine...it's ok kids, I won't tell."
"Time Travel" through "Petite Feet" is the most economic use of 4 minutes I've heard all year. Great job!

I'm kind of surprised to see any acclaim for this at all. It's perfectly formulated for my sense of humor, but it seems like the sort of thing that maybe three people in the world would actually enjoy. I honestly can't imagine recommending it to anyone.

This is sort of correct. But shit, the half the time that it's working makes me lol harder than anything else on tv, except maybe for Mr. Show.

I wish that the one scene that had burned itself into my head wasn't the monumentally unfunny hacky sack one because there is some great stuff, I can only ever just rmeember that fucking hacky sack unfunny shit though.
― Will M., Saturday, 21 June 2008 21:48 (4 years ago) Permalink
Yeah, but right after the hacky sack scene is the part where the loser of the tournament goes
which is pretty much one of the greatest things I've ever seen. IN MY ENTIRE LIFE SO FAR.

Yeah, the coda of the Hackysack scene, with C-Boy walking depressed through the surf, is amazing!
I could use less of the "bloody balls" and shit-type jokes I guess, but I'll take them if they come with the incredible awkward miscommunication/ hallucinatory cable access stuff.

Ouch! I at least liked the meeting the mall manager (Will Ferrell) had with Tim and Eric.
― Evan, Monday, 16 July 2012 14:47 (10 months ago) Permalink
The problem with the movie was that none of the ideas were fresh and the pacing was off.
― Evan, Monday, 16 July 2012 14:49 (10 months ago) Permalink
the meeting with Will Ferreell is the best part probably - mostly for Will Ferrell's weird reactions

it was really sad. i felt a strange empathy toward swanson. even shed a solitary tear for the scene at the end, no lie. i have seen reviews criticizing that last scene but personally felt it to be very poignant and bittersweet.
i have a few heady ~~theories~~ or whatever about the movie and the swanson character. i think his sadness goes beyond his dying dad; i read a lot into the scenes with the sister-in-law. it just seems like there's sadness in the family (brother in the looney bin, AWOL mom) that has inspired the one remaining family member, the sister-in-law, to cope with deep numbness. and i think a lot of his interactions with people stem from frustration with that numbness. trying to open the sleeping girl's eyes - "wake up!". poking around the unconscious hospital patient. he spends so much time just trying to get reactions out of people. when he does those few rare times, he is at a loss, but i think that possibility really excites him.
i was also curious about the whole water thing in the movie. found it curious how so much of the movie is him being around water but not in it, which changes at the end. i know it seems facile to read such overt symbols into the movie but alverson by his own admission is a pretty deliberate director.
what was up with the random disintegration loops? and the random shot of the empire state building during the random disintegration loops scene? i didn't get how that fit in at all, apart from it being a sad tune for a sad movie.

saw it last night with jaymc and je55e. at the end some people in the theater applauded and i couldn't tell if it was sincere (we were in the "artsy" movie theater) or if people were consciously/unconsciously mimicking the theatrically ironic behavior they had just seen in the movie, it was very weird.

other thoughts:
* most disturbing sex scene in a movie in a while* heidecker is fantastic in this* scene in the black bar was the one that felt a little played-out, just a slightly more acidic/knowing version of "clueless white guy tries to buddy up with black dudes" scene from a bunch of other movies
