Synopsis

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is an American sketch comedy television series, created by and starring Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, which premiered February 11, 2007 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim comedy block and ran until May 2010. The program features surrealistic and often satirical humor, public-access television–style musical acts, bizarre faux-commercials, and editing and special effects chosen to make the show appear camp. The program featured a wide range of actors, spanning from stars such as Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Will Forte and Zach Galifianakis, to alternative comedians like Neil Hamburger, to television actors like Alan Thicke, celebrity look-alikes and impressionists. The creators of the show have described it as "the nightmare version of television."

caidenw-37050 OH MY GOSH! If you think you've seen it all, you haven't! This show and its creators have gotten WAY too much appraisal, appraisal they don't deserve AT ALL! This show is nothing but incoherent stupidity that's insulting to the maturity level of a 6 year old! On top of that, it's on Adult Swim!This show doesn't have any deep nor hidden meaning to it; It's not some sort of expressive piece of art; it's garbage! It's a big, steaming pile of turd with an I.Q. of -5!This show is so stupid that it'll give you a stinking hemorrhage! If you watch it, you'll be ashamed of its very existence! I felt like I defecated my pants at the sight of this, somehow, despite this defying biology, losing 10 I.Q. points a a result! Don't watch this show! The creators already have gotten WAY more appraisal than they deserve!
dready438 Possible spoilers ahead, but never fear, you'd never mind.T&E try soooo hard to make their "comedy" appear to be as low as possible, it's definitely a hipster angle, lets not even try to make that go away. In doing so, they create a lower point, and have to try and top it later. It's a really poor cycle that leads to shows that could be composed entirely of toddlers making nonsense sounds while flapping their arms, as long as they had a wondrously horrible video editor to cut it all together .Their only saving grace is the occasional appearance of John C Rielly, Jack Black, and god help me for saying it, Alan Thicke. The appearance of a B+ celeb usually brings the only moment of the show worth a smirk, if for nothing other than nostalgia's sake or being a previous fan of their other work.There's nothing to "get" about their style. Maybe a man flapping his arms and making guttural noises makes you laugh, or perhaps it takes a fake infomercial about plastic pant liners specifically for continuous explosive diarrhea delivered by a senior citizen. That's OK, we're all different. To call the show smart or satirical for it, however, is a grievous misuse of that word.The show is simply an exercise in vanity by those that can't be bothered to work on either a script or improving their "talent" that was quickly pushed in by execs looking for the next thing to keep eyes on their network. There's a reason it airs when it does, and it's not for the shows 99% mild content. Dick/sex jokes don't land you at midnight and beyond. Having a budget that rivals most hobos daily income and pushing terribly fleshed out skits sure will though.Don't fool yourself into thinking this is anything but masking weakness with a poignant and forced lack of effort, and for your own sake, don't try to tell others it is.
Stoh80 Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! lies at the extreme end of the comedy spectrum spectrum. Never before I have I seen a show that maxes out on outrageousness, goofiness, and non-jokes as this one does. A surrealistic, satirical campy sketch show hosted by comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, this show cannot get any more ridiculous, and that is why I love it.Tim and Eric is a parody show, but what does it parody? The simple answer is everything. From faux-commercials, to news programs, to random musical numbers, the viewer soon finds that Tim and Eric does not spare anyone. Many reoccurring actors and guest stars make sure that each episode, and more importantly each sketch segment, is radically different from the last. Even mid-segment the mood can drastically change, going say from a campy mattress commercial to a demonically dark dream sequence. With outrageous, completely unbelievable characters and plenty of just as ridiculous costumes and makeup, the visuals alone are enough to have me cracking up. Though there is hardly a coherent plot, each episode does an overall theme that more or less connects the individual sketches to one another.I fully understand that Tim and Eric is not for everyone. Most will probably find it way too over the top, but it is exactly because of that I find it original and enjoyable. Though their show is very chaotic, after watching a few episodes one will see that Tim and Eric have created their own extravagant world, complete with overlapping and reoccurring characters and stories. Cinco, Channel 5 News, and Spagett are just a few of things that the viewer will find in Tim and Eric. This is definitely a show that I had to give a few episodes, but after I gave it a chance I can see why it has a cult following. I now eagerly await Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, which I hope will be every bit as outrageous and surreal as their show.
fluxlegend This show stands as a just insult to the entire comedy genre. It's the bastard child of the parody movies and Tom Green if it were born retarded. There is nothing but reoccurring skits and jokes that were never funny in the first place and lame improv skits from lackluster people. I have nothing against sketch comedy and find others such as SNL and the Chappelle show amusing, but where Tim and Eric when it comes to actual humour? It would seem they just stand around and make incoherent juvenile jokes and skits that only make you laugh if you are only drunk enough or dumb enough. This show is utter garbage and should stick to youtube or something where its lame demographic of pathetic 30-45 year losers can watch this on their own convenience and not make other viewers suffer slogging through this waste of space. In summary, do not watch this show if you enjoy life.
