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

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 Apologies rescinded.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

Wow I laughed harder at that than uh anything in years

Don’t usually like their gross out humor but ep 2 had me dying

Let’s just say I blew two loads that night

This show is the funniest thing on TV right now.

Looks like this was the season finale. What a cliffhanger!

I like how it's not spoofing sitcoms in general but rather the late seasons of sitcoms where it's not clear any more what the premises of the show is, half the punchlines are weird inside jokes, and all the characters are just one or two grossly exaggerated traits

quite ironical that the man famous for his song-and-dance cautioning about the gastrointestinal dangers of consuming spoiled meat would use a diarrhea pipe for his mayonnaise pipe

this song from the new Tim Heidecker solo album is uh...really good?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvDssCCJT5c

Yeah that's really nice.

But I generally have a hard time responding to Tim's music.

Didn't know he had a new album out. That's a great track. Is that Weyes Blood on vocals (from a quick google)? He definitely writes some great songs. I absolutely adore 'When I Get Up' from the previous album.

"Fear of Death is a Serious Album about Serious Topics..."

On the basis of that one track, I'll take this statement at face value (perhaps not wise) and I'm keen to hear more.

I think most of his music is pretty serious. the Heidecker & Wood stuff seemed to lean into its AOR campiness sometimes but I think his three solo albums are all pretty genuine. and based off one listen on Bandcamp I think this is clearly the best of the three

certainly he's not the first comedian to have a go at "serious" music but he might be the first one whose brand of comedy is particularly dry, where you kind of have to look for the jokes, which I think has led a lot of people to listen to his music for the wrong reasons.

'What The Broken-Hearted Do' is the album I know, so commenting in terms of that, I take it as both serious/genuine and playful at the same time. I think there is definitely some of that dry humour you mention at work and a deliberate ambiguity to it, which I enjoy. Mainly when I listen to it though I just enjoy it at pretty much face value - I like the tunes etc.

yeah agreed with that

listened to it a few more times, definitely made the leap from "pretty good for a comedian" to "actually good" on this one

dare I say it is as good as the Yellow River Boys album

Even going way back to the music on Awesome Show - Great Job, Tim's music has always been decent to great. He can make a throwaway song like Decker's "Our Values Are Under Attack" an earworm for the ages.

you wave a flag on christmas day, they'll throw you in jail!

ah na na na na na naaaa
