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.

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!

Is there actually a killfile or just SB's?
― Your body is a spiderland (polyphonic), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 19:17 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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?

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.
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Friday, 19 March 2010 00:53 (fourteen years ago) link
OMG plz tell story!! I've always wondered what these guys were like IRL

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.

the answer: "it's funny"

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

Maybe the other one is the mannequin's number!

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.
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Friday, 19 March 2010 23:44 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
