Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job - Christ Almighty this show is funny.

Yeah, the whole appeal of TAESGJ is the subtleties, facial twitches/tics, pauses, etc.

about half the material from the first ep was in the live show and boy do they suck live.

are you saying this isn't the pinnacle of comedy?

shit doesn't rly translate well to a live act w/o all the low budgetry video shit

Whiney, methinks u do not "get" the comedey of Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Jobs.

*killfiled, no regrets*

Is there actually a killfile or just SB's?

Yes, but killfile is for stupids who like to be confused by responses to posts that they can no longer see. I do not understand its existence, but by god I'll die to defend its right to exist.

So this is S5, then? I still havent seen 4 - it seems not to be out on DVD yet. Want to see it mainly for the Tommy Wiseau bits! Which reminds me, is there a thread about The Room cos I can't find one and I saw it last weekend and woah nelly.

Tommy Wiseau's "The Room"

"oh hi trayce"

live they're openly mocking the audience and the audience is like "yeah, wouldn't it be funny if we found that funny" and everyone is like eight levels removed from what's actually happening which is a pair of guys chanting diarrhea while wearing body suits with huge flopping testicles which isn't really funny at all?

Want to see it mainly for the Tommy Wiseau bits!

most (all?) of those bits are on the adult swim website, at least four of them - there may be more in the actual episode (haven't seen it).

also the pissing in the subordinates work spaces was kind of lol..

everyone is like eight levels removed from what's actually happening

posts which effortlesssly summarize the spirit of ilx

just watched the last ep - so the bunk is a fan? great job!!

tried so hard to like these guys, never got into it, nail in the coffin was when i met them (in a professional capacity) and they were jerks.

OMG plz tell story!! I've always wondered what these guys were like IRL

so they peed on u (figuratively)

Just to balance that out - and if we're work name-droppin' - I've met them in a work-related capacity and I thought they were really nice! (But I'm a LONGtime fan).

my friend ran into David Liebe Hart on the bus once... they talked for awhile and David ended up giving him his phone number. actually two phone numbers for some reason.

"trying" to get comedy is a fruitless task, ime... y'either laugh or you don't.

the other night i bizarrely asked my girlfriend "what do you find interesting about stand up comedy?"

the answer: "it's funny"

X| not exactly sure what the hell i thought i was asking

Loll <3

I do things like that fwiw hoos =)

I've heard that Tim is nice but Eric is kind of a dick.

they talked for awhile and David ended up giving him his phone number. actually two phone numbers for some reason.

Maybe the other one is the mannequin's number!

this season thus far is markedly unfunny to me for some reason.

that's the joke

Not even the iJammer commercial? That was an all-time classic clip. Just amazing. Although I'll agree that the last episode was mostly just creepy. But I enjoyed that.

Apparently, DLH just gives out his phone number to everyone, or so it seems in the T&E thread on the aspecialthing board.

"trying" as in watching other episodes to see if i was just not into a particular one, just like you can "try" to get into an album by listening multiple times - is that so difficult to understand? I chuckled during some Zach Galifinakis-featuring sketch but the three episodes I watched were profoundly MEH.

I won't get too detailed but what was so appalling to me was their brushing off of fans who had waited many hours to see them, made handmade gifts, stayed way late etc. their attitude was very "whatever, we've got better things to do" - not busy and distracted but blase and bored, and they accepted gifts that were purposely left behind, didn't bother chatting with any of these people. at the signing acted like they'd rather be anywhere else. then did an interview with them in which they didn't play ball at all, meaning yes/no answers to questions that could have easily led to funny anecdotes/explanations. after three or four of these i was like 'okay, thanks for coming' and closed the interview after five minutes. they practically ran out the door.

yo sorry, the quotes around "trying" in my post prob made it sound more dickish than intended. for me, it's rare for comedy to be unfunny without being irritating and unpleasant. T&E especially, i think, lie on that funny/irritating binary.

otoh, there's guys like louis ck, who i found just kinda boring but not groan inducing or anything. was much more inclined to check him out again after a friend's recommendation. so yeah it goes both ways.

and then there's strangers with candy, which i actually found totally obnoxious and nauseating at first, until it grew on me and started to make me lol. so yeah it's not as simple as "lol at first sight", i guess.

i think they're artistically irrelevant after being beaten at their own game by icp

this season has moved into unwatchable and not funny

but i watched the room on april fools day and thought to myself "i want that wiener guy to be in a real movie" and then the next day i saw this!!

wow

Eric's new video video for HEALTH, "We Are Water":

http://vimeo.com/10818338

Pretty effective nu-horror pastiche!

dont love these guys but lolz

If things continue this way, 3 episodes from now they'll have Brad Pitt or someone on the show.

Sadly, things won't continue in *any* way - that Rudd clip is from the series finale from last Sunday. The show's done for good!* (That said, the "Father and Son" short film from HBO has me very excited at what these guys could do with something not as ridiculously paced - it's their best work, I think).

(* The Steve Brule spin-off show starts very soon, though)...

Oh really they're done for good huh? I'm OK with that, I know Tim and Eric aren't finished doing projects so I'll be looking forward to what they do next (besides the Brule show).

Tim Wareheim's little known dark side: HEALTH - We Are Water

I guess that would be Eric Wareheim's little known dark side.

lol @ hat wobble

kinda happy it's over - this season was easily the worst. no new ideas. i thought that father + son thing was pretty weak also. for me the hectic pace and psychedelic visuals are key to their style.

this is still my favorite bit from this show
