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).

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)
― wilter, Friday, 19 March 2010 01:12 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― hobbes, Friday, 19 March 2010 04:22 (fourteen years ago) link
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

I do things like that fwiw hoos =)
I've heard that Tim is nice but Eric is kind of a dick.

Maybe the other one is the mannequin's number!

this season thus far is markedly unfunny to me for some reason.
― forksclovetofu, Friday, 19 March 2010 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link
that's the joke
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 19 March 2010 14:47 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

this season has moved into unwatchable and not funny
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 10 April 2010 19:52 (fourteen years ago) link

If things continue this way, 3 episodes from now they'll have Brad Pitt or someone on the show.
― Evan, Friday, 7 May 2010 13:16 (thirteen years ago) link
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)...
― Becky Facelift, Friday, 7 May 2010 13:26 (thirteen years ago) link
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

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 showhttp://www.milkandcookies.com/link/86864/detail/
― am0n, Friday, 7 May 2010 14:52 (thirteen years ago) link
I like the wrongness and secret evil of the show, but I dislike the bathroom humour.
I really like the actors other than Tim and Eric such as David Leibe Hart and friends. They are such biscuits of worth.
― Latham Green, Friday, 7 May 2010 15:27 (thirteen years ago) link
it's a british. i can tell from the 'humour' and 'biscuits,' and from reading posts by quite a few britishes in my day.

the way rudd sells it, the casual coffee-sipping / concentration, like he's a pro working on a tough but intriguing problem = pretty fantastic comedy performance
