the eric andre show

Yup, the new one from Matt Groening.

he seems like he'd be 'on' a lot of the time which could get exhausting but idk i don't see why he comes across as an asshole

I find a lot of "on" people are pretty chill in real life. I would hang with him.

I met him years ago at a show I played in NYC, around 2006 I think, before he had a tv show. He seemed very nice and chill.

A year ago, I was deleting spam messages from an address I rarely check anyway, and the sender's name "eric andre" caught my eye. I thought, wow, spammers are getting creative. Turned out it was actually from him...from nine years prior. He wanted me to join him in a noise band and play backyard wrestling events in Brooklyn. I tweeted a screenshot of the email at him and wrote something like, "Hey, just found this...I'm up for it if you're still up for it," but didn't hear back.

Always check your spam folder.

He is very chill IRL.

Also, M4M is out now:

dude hasn't done much of interest since the show died, maybe this will be okay?
anybody but me see bad trip? it's pretty terrible but somehow kept me around all the way through.

very happy with the way 'we'll be right back' has been picked up by wrestling fans

it's coming to Netflix apparently. so I'll maybe catch it. it looks v bad. I'm more interested in the stand-up special

Bad Trip isn't really VERY bad. It's possibly the most unapologetically dumb thing I've ever seen (there's a lengthy scene where Eric breaks into a zoo cage and is repeatedly raped by a gorilla in front of a tour group of unsuspecting patrons) but it somehow keeps moving the chains.

i mean, to be clear, it IS really very bad. but it's watchable!

The stand up special is bonkers.

In a good way

v funny

Has some good moments. I don't think it's his ideal format though

A lot of the bits were just him describing visuals that they would have executed if it were part of one of his show's episodes. Which was fine! It was fun.

I don't think standup is where he excels best, but he has kind of an astructural style like Bob Saget which I enjoy

had some really hard LOLs, but target audience was clearly like, 17 year old stoners

i like when his voice gets really loud

Does the netflix show get better after like the first 10-15 minutes?

yes, significantly so. it starts a bit meander-y even by his own standards

old routine but as someone who actually has seen the show in question this is quite accurate

funny thing about this is the Eric Andre show can kinda be described the same way

netflix special is watchable but eric's dada-chic anarcho-progressive schtick, sans high concept framing, begins to eat its own tail quickly

saw him do straight stand up about 5 years ago in a smallish club and it seemed a lot better than this. but tbf we nodded off after like 15-20 min

(of Netflix special)

based on what i know from his earlier club work, the danger of being potentially clobbered by eric likely would've made a live experience a lot more exciting... he was pretty out of control i think

Nu-COVID-style repeat appearance on Hot Ones (the first one from 2016 is hilarious):

...that ends in a seriously not good fashion, oof.

SEASON FIVE ON OCTOBER 25

well that's cool cause he should stick to that format, preferably with lots of man-on-the-streetness. the standup special was not so good. "you guys ever try DRUGS before? that shit's so crazy!"

I like to just pretend his movie never happened

It’s not his best side but I thought it was pretty decent

TIME TO DELIVER A PI ZZA BALLLLL

the intro to that bit is probably the greatest 5 seconds of television ever made

Thank u 4 reminder to record the encore presentations overnite, missing the season premieres would have been tragic.

first two episodes are not good. mostly callbacks to old gags and lots of guests who are clearly aware they're walking into a goof. everything has felt stale and canned so far.

All true but for some reason watching it on a whim over lunch without any expectations I still idly enjoyed it. My critical brain was totally not paying attention.

i mean i'll keep watching it! but these felt particularly unengaged to me and, given eric's generally uninspired work since s4 wrapped, i'm a little worried

s5e4 starts off a little slow but is one of the better eps in many seasons.

yeah, both 3 and 4 were steps up.

I've been doing my umpteenth rewatch of the series before starting the new season. I've seen it all enough at this point that it's a pleasant surprise when, say, tap sensation Savion Glover still somehow catches me off guard and sends me into fits.
