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

has anyone hated on this show in this thread yet?

i have no respect for people who watch this shit
-- and what (and@what), February 20th, 2007.

^^

hmm, well that's one.

i am still really surprised to see such (near) universal acclaim for something that is half-the-time hilarious and half-the-time fucking wretched.

oh god i heard "sports!" out somewhere and it kind of blew my mind

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.

SPAGHET

YES

YES.
This show works on so many levels and even when it doesn't it just does. Always a win.

I hate how shiny his face is, I'm torn between pity and fear for this character. I love the asexual news casters and all the random ads in between. EVERYTHING.

it's for your health.

even though everyone who likes this show besides me is an idiot like VeronaInTheClub who doesn't actually get it like i do, it's my favorite 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.

Yeah, but right after the hacky sack scene is the part where the loser of the tournament goes

"....sigh...dammit..............goddammnit....sigh....dammit..........AWESOME!"

which is pretty much one of the greatest things I've ever seen. IN MY ENTIRE LIFE SO FAR.

^ street team

Fuck yeah I would be on the street team!

JUST GIVE ME THAT CHANCE

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.

New season (3!) starts July 27h!

SHRIMP AND WHITE WINE

ok, i agree that the post-hacksack thing is great. but seriously. the part before it? awful.

can't get behind the shrimp/white wine stuff iirc.

Eric Wareheim recently directed this video for Flying Lotus's track 'Parisian Goldfish'. The results are undeniably in keeping with T&EASGJ's humour stylings, and definitely not safe for work (or possibly for viewing anywhere, ever).

It's the best thing I've seen in months.

That was some intense sex.

Like some pairs of pants, this pair of videos gets better and better each time you wear and/or watch them!

When I had the flu for a few days earlier this summer, discovering those videos helped ease my recovery.

Great job!

I love Zack, but otherwise don't get much out of these.

This, however:

or this:

Those Windex commercials were hit and miss, but the Superman one was pretty well done.

YouTube copy of the Dance Floor Dale video that hasn't been taken down yet (again, NSFW):

holy...wow. yeah

ok i never gave two fucks about this show but that last video is :-0

Rainn Wilson killed it so hard on the last one

new season

not to be that guy, but the first ep was pretty weak.

it was terrible imo. only good bit was good cop/bad cop with that guy

I was laughing pretty hard @ the intro, but yeah, they've had better.

it was pretty terrible, dr steve brule was decent and squall of duty had its moment.

moments even

gonna look in this thread to find all the Tim & Eric fans so i know who to killfile

bad episode, good intro

As I've said before, I'm continually shocked that Tim and Eric fans even exist. I love the show unreservedly, though. It's the little things, like how they kept showing the clip of the dude in the audience who wasn't even really laughing, that crack my shit up.

I recently (and reluctantly) introduced my SO to the show and, to my shock and amusement, she seems to love it as much as I do. This might just be the real thing!

the dude in the audience who wasn't even really laughing

I loved that guy.

I'm a middle aged man
and I live with my dad
we like to hang out
we like to be bad
he lets me have parties
I let him hang out with the younger men

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"

btw not sure if this or the On Cinema thread is the designated thread for Office Hours talk, but replacing Doug "smoke drugs first thing in the morning" Pound with Megan Koester was a solid move for that enterprise

Huh? Isn't Doug on Office Hours right now?

oh I dunno! he was semi-replaced with Megan the other week. I don't ever watch it live

Tim playing harmonica on the first song during this "band got big but still plays a show at a local bar at the end of their tour - there's hardly room for the musicians after they've put all their pedals down" type thing

His Joe Rogan parody was a mere 12 hours long

for some reason a few BTS clips of this sketch have been making the rounds and they're all amazing

That one sketch needs its own limited run prestige tv series about its making. Timotheee Cahalamet as Paul Rudd.

Crossover show with Matt & Will from Chapo on Office Hours Live today, and damn has Tim dropped a lot of weight in the last few years

hadn't seen these before, apparently every once in a while they'll get back together and watch their old bits and do commentary on them, it's good stuff

best part for me is Eric meeting his in laws in Australia and them telling him "we've got this video that's right up your alley, have you seen it?" and it's "Spaghetti Again"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge9mSi3pYDQ

this one is even better

well I've only watched the first half hour but those fake ads they made for Shrek the Third are hilarious. the Boost Mobile Super Bowl Shuffle one I think is pretty funny too. seems to foreshadow a lot of Awesome Show stuff. they don't seem too fond of it though.

inspired by that I showed my kids (10 and 7) the Totinos commercial and I swear this is the most they've ever liked an internet video, literally every morning since I've woken up to that fucking bass riff when one of them puts it on the living room TV

actually kind of amazing they've created stuff that both adults and kids can enjoy in equal measure. I've tried to show them more T&E stuff but so much of it is inappropriate! they did think Celery Man and the Cinco iJammer were really funny though!
