Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job - Christ Almighty this show is funny.

Holy shit, Mark Proksch is a secret MVP of this weird-ass world. I'd assumed through all of these Oscar specials (I'm now on my third) that he was just another Abso-Lutely weirdo doing very poor impersonations of W.C. Fields and Chaplin when suddenly I was all, 'heeeeeeyyyy...he's the pie-sitter from Better Call Saul!' That he's able to so seamlessly pick up such a Quall-esque mantle without arousing my suspicions is a real testament to his skill as a performer.

speaking of not arousing suspicions, here's how he came to IRL Gregg's attention:

also that you didn't realise until now either means you really don't notice him, or you're not watching the Decker episodes

Mark Proksch goes quietly from strength to strength. His character is as distinct as Tim and Gregg.

Watching it all through a second time at the moment and the full charm of Joe Estevez and the way his acting of obliviousness in a b-movie way slots into this universe is rapidly becoming apparent.

Decker: Classified is what made me go 'waaaaaaitaminute...' but I had my first inkling that something was up when Tim started chucking Chinese food at him (an indignity I wouldn't expect to see visited upon, say, Doug Prishpreed).

oh my god I just saw S5E2 which is where they get the footage for Turkington's original appearance in "Decker", this is absolutely brilliant

not to mention Tim's encapsulation of the American right, "while I stand by my position as a member of the pro-life community, when push comes to shove, when you are a part of that situation, choices have to be undertaken...because there was no way...I was gonna be in that situation"

Proksch is also great in the "What We Do in the Shadows" series.

GO TO THE LIVE SHOW IF YOU CAN! seeing Turkington in this context live is incredible. it's like the role he was born to play.

also you get Joe Estevez.

Decker is now integrated into the timeline website: https://oncinematimeline.com/#season-5

(no Best Show calls or Marvel movies yet, but IRL Tim was in the studio on the Best Show last week, with James Adomian.)

"so we put a little bit of bufo alvarius venom in the mix, that helps us regulate our brain waves so they are on the same level as, like, a master meditator, like a monk who's been in a cave for 20 years"
"wow, so it's good for your body"

Okay so just finished the second Oscar special and I think maybe that watching Tim get increasingly drunk and belligerent over the course of two hours is maybe the thing that had been missing from my life.

totally, I wasn't sure if I really wanted to continue after the first 15-20 minutes but holy shit does this thing go off the rails. I think they both (briefly) break character here:

Can you just post the timestamp? Link's broken

seeing gregg as gregg tomorrow and getting the book, so stoked

I think I know the moment frogs is talking about. I believe it's in this video:

Oh god, three seconds of 'Oscar Fever' are apparently enough to get it playing on a loop in my brain, thx Tim.

50 minutes in the first special. I think the picture of Billy Crystal gets him.

We got On Cinema movie

https://variety.com/2019/film/news/on-cinema-mister-america-gregg-turkington-tim-heidecker-1203256803/

looks like a six-bagger to me

well the scale only goes up to 5 bags but i'd throw in like a little gregg turkington key chain or something

btw tim is on comedy bang bang today

obviously it's five bags of popcorn AND AN OSCAR

one of my favorite bits is when Tim gives a movie 6 bags, then Gregg argues that you can't really give something 6 bags, and they go back & forth for a bit before Tim ultimately gives the movie 3 bags

gregg talked about the film irl the other day. said he's really happy with it and it might be the best thing they've done. we shall see!

imago you got to talk to gregg out of character??

Channel 5 (Adult Swim's new 24-hour Tim and Eric (and Gregg, as an On Cinema marathon is currently airing) online channel featuring four new T&E shows plus all the classics) is go!

the way Tim's On Cinema character keeps failing upward while insisting the world is always conspiring to take him down feels pretty spot on

yellow river boys is by far tim's best music work:

Yes!!! "Someone To Piss on Me" and "Truck Stop Piss Club" are legitimately great songs. In fact I honest to god enjoy this entire album aside from "Mr. Mudd"

on a similar note the Neil Hamburger covers album from 2019 is way way better than it has any right to be

Beef House

BEEF HOUSE

LOL, I didn't even check to see whether anyone had already posted basically the exact same thing I just posted. Apologies 2 pplains.

My Beef House was bolded.

True, true. Apologies rescinded.

Ha, I didn't even recognize Meadow Soprano!

stayed at home with Beef House last night and I'm glad I did cause it was the most fun I had staying at home since I stayed at home every Friday night from 1989 to 1997 with my friends Carl, Harriette, Eddie, Laura, Judy, Richie, Rachel, Estelle, Waldo Faldo (occasionally), Myra (from 1993 until her tragic death in 1998), and of course who could forget Steve :)

Meadow Soprano totes the voice of reason in the house.

was sorry to see Brad leave so soon tbh

if you miss him that bradly you can see more of him as the main brad guy on season five of Breaking Brad

I am kinda ashamed of how hard I laughed at ep 2 of Beef House.

Ep. 1 - oh I get it, but I don't think I can watch this.

Ep. 2 - shit pipe

Ep. 3 - literally died laughing. had to get my brain remapped to post this.

Okay, got it on the dvr, had a couple beers, guess I'm finally going in.

i'm putting down money tonight to watch 2 & 3, not because I want to know what can remap a brain, but because I need to know what shit pipe means

i just found out. it’s worth it

shit happens

baby boro bit that kid bad

oh my god
