Half the Tim & Eric thread is about this show so I think it deserves its own thread
Granted I'm only like 13 hours into this thing but it's possibly one of the best comedic achievements of the 21st century
also this video is wonderful and I watch it every day

Worth looking for: the episode of The Best Show from a couple years back where Tim and Gregg take up about an hour of the show arguing over whether or not Tim actually saw the Tom Cruise remake of The Mummy.

I never really gave a shit about the Tim & Eric show but I am 100% on board with this as pure genius, Turkington hooking up with him was a godsend.I'm on season 9.

It’s my favorite television thing. You really need to immerse yourself (similar to the Best Show).
― Allen (etaeoe), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 17:18 (two years ago) link
Immerse, my friend. Let it wash over you.Six seasons of uncritical plaudits for every film under the sun was a magnificent setup for Tim's excoriating Ant-Man review.

The later seasons of Decker aren’t on youtube btw, but iirc they stop interacting directly with On Cinema episodes so it doesn’t stand out badly(The two Ant-Man movies also don’t appear in the playlist, but do very much affect On Cinema video and twitter content )forks if you were starting at an early point, try dropping in on a S4 or 5 episode, when the Tim vs Gregg tone is better established & there’s loads of backstory, to see if it pings any better with you

Anyway now that I think about it Toni revealing that she was having an affair with both members of Dekkar but Tim not catching it because he can’t fucking shut up for two seconds is one of the best jokes of the whole thing

A lot of great stuff. Mark calling in as Alfred Hitchcock was my favorite moment. However, I now agree with Gregg and don’t want to see Dekkar ever again.

"Desert Sun Tequilla" - both misspelled (on the bottle and the banner) and more or less named after Tim's music festival that killed numerous people.
All members of Dekkar remain seated for the duration of their performance.

there was a dog in the film but it was not that dog and “the power of the dog” means something far less literal in the context of the film and tim getting it so wrong was on the order of gregg insisting that the wonka prequel is directed by tim burton (it’s not)

this show is the master of characters whose very presence is hilarious. Manuel looking concerned, Joe looking bored, LaRue trying to look serious and tough. the mascots in the background.

The way that Chaplin’s Chili is progressively diminished as a franchise in each special is one of my favorite small recurring gags. Also adds to the “trapped in hell" atmosphere—despite Tim commenting each year on how gross the chili is, they are always back the next year.

listening to Office Hours today it looks like Mark has Covid and Joe got sick (not Covid), which is why neither appeared. must've been some pretty fast n' furious rewriting taking place
that happened last year too, I think Pastor Lewis was supposed to factor into the plot but the actress was unvaxxed and wouldn't take a Covid test or something

yeah Tim was worried he might've gotten it from Mark. apparently Mark is asymptomatic, he didn't say what Joe has but did say "he'll be fine" so that's good
also apparently there was a huge downpour 12 hours after filming. I wonder what their contingency plan was, or if it was just "fuck it, it's SoCal"?
