Things that just have to be Tim and Eric skits

I could probably be funny with those too but I meant "it".

xpost2enbb

they're these two guys who met at temple u. maybe go to comedy central's website and watch a bunch of their stuff. they're sort of obsessed with public access television, infomercials, low budget televisuals in general

they also fixate on toilet humor, which can get old fast, but aside from that, i think they are genuinely hilarious when they focus on the nuances of whatever i mentioned up there in the first paragraph of this post. so, at their best they do spot-on absurd takes on the dumbest aspects of nineties popular culture and beyond. it's worth a look. the kind of thing you might have to warm up to or sift past the crud to get into

they're absurdist humor, i guess, for lack of a better description, and yeah drugs probably help

lol sean - that to me?

I know/<3 about 1/2 the stuff on this thread but just watched a couple T&E skits and I'm not really sure. I could be funny with either very little sleep or a lot of pot or a combination thereof but otherwise? idk.

yeah it's really not my thing; del's description is accurate tho.

(msgd u on fb btw)

yeah dell totally otm. It is, in my opinion, totally and completely about the nuances: their little pauses and twitches and facial expressions and the manner in which they deliver lines, etc. Also, they reach a level of weird that's very difficult to attain, and they sort parody vibes and scenarios more than like actual concrete ideas or objects.

they can be great and then all of a sudden they're really not. i was a big fan and then i saw them live and now I kinda can't stand them.

They also incorporate actual public access weirdos and other unhinged people into their work. They found these guys ... probably online, not sure. But worked with them a ton:

All the Stairway to Stardom stuff up there looks like an 80s version of ARK Music Factory for any age.

Love James Quall by the way...

Yeah when theyre on, theyre fantastic - I love Weird Al's bits in the show for example. Its a real "love it or hate it" show tho. Guy I'm seeing atm hates it, he was stony faced when I showed it to him lol.

Also, they reach a level of weird that's very difficult to attain,

This sort of nails it. I've seen some damn poor imitations, and really, they weren't doing anything much different than T&E. Somehow, T&E pull it off.

Sunny was not a fan, but I've caught her watching over my shoulder a time or two.

superstar & star is great

This is a go-to thread when I'm high, just saying.

what did the internet do before marijuana?

Will Forte as Tim Testa

Yeah idk. I don't think T&E are my thing really. On the other hand, I could (and have if I'm totally honest) watch Stairway to Stardom videos for hours.

Also holy shit Superstar and Star.

I was just poking around Superstar's youtubes and there was one of him "chilling at home" so I started watching it and it turned out to be him posing in daisy dukes on a bed strewn with stuffed animals. Disturbing. Then the screen froze and a co-worker came over and I couldn't minimize. Not awkward at all.

I heart this so much. I love the keytar stand, I wish they were my awesome skils.

WATCH AS THIS EASTERN EUROPEN SLUT SLAYS A KEYTAR

At 2007, I received award for best keyboard player in my country.

Yes, but can you play the keytar? Some might say an entirely different instrument?

I'm musician, keyboard player. Music is most important thing in my professional life. I'm well known keyboard player in my country.

Those are funnier when they're from a Latino variety show and in Spanish.

The way this guy sings at the 1' mark reminds me of the Cinco iJammer.

"what you call extreme sports are just versions of our rituals"
they worship the god of skateboarding?

Aw man, the heart-pumping blonde spanish lady is so awesome!

I agree! I sent the video to a friend and I am kind of discouraged she didn't go crazy over it, too.

*imagines Marc Ornstein paddling upstream to the riverboat casino where he works as a blackjack dealer, lols gently to self*

Haha

I'm going to have to add this theatrical one, though the character is somewhat less likely to be part of a T&E sketch.
