the eric andre show

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.

lizzo up and omarion are good high points
intrepid reporter kicking the shit out of a guy is amusing too

the constant callbacks get a little tired though. did we really need another riff on the classic "time to deliver a pizzaball" melody

i don't think Eric will ever top musical guests Exhumed and The Supremes playing side by side

my regard for lizzo, which was already pretty high, has risen

Blasted through s2-5 over the past couple of days (the latter for the first time). Season 5 really only suffers in comparison to four previous seasons of maybe the funniest show of all time. That's a lot to live up to. It's just too bad that the funniest bit of the season (The Pageant) happened at the absolute end of the season.

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2020 season is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

do i want to pay $80 to go to this i wonder

worth it

you've seen him do a live thing? or just want to?

Dude just funny

Knockdown is a fun place

i saw him live a few years ago and i laughed for like 10 mins straight but a big part of that is that he brought a local old guy on stage for a bit and he somehow managed to pull the perfect weird old french man
