"Tim and Eric Awesome Show great Job", the surrealistic comedic show Starring, Tim Heidecker, and Eric Wareheim that airs only on late nights on Adult Swim.
The show consists of "skits" of corny retro like fictional commercials, to outdated fictional sitcoms that we no longer laugh at because of the punchlines. the show is only about 15 mins per episode, but leaves you in tears of laughter....That is if you understand what I like to call "Monty Pythons Method" in humor. I like to compare Tim and Eric to Monty Python, because the groups both make silly, strange, and random situations in to hysterical skits. which I find is quite genius.They have a lot of guest stars, such as Zach Galifianakis, Paul Rudd, Marilyn Manson, Michael Cera, and David Cross. One Guest Star that actually turned into a regular was John C. Reilly playing " Dr. Steve Brule" on the show who gives semi- useful health advice such as "Milk taste sour? Just check the expiration date dummy !" Brule politely ends the message with "For your health"!
Which I find is honestly one of the funniest parts of the show. Zach Galifianakis often plays "Tairy Greene" a fictional famous actor, who appears on the show on random skits. Tim And Eric like to make the atmosphere of the show very "Public Access" like. every once in a while you will see a " tracking indicator" like as if it is being recorded by a cheap camera from the late 80's early 90's, and is being adjusted to its best quality. That right there is the beauty of the show because it brings Realism in to the comed,. which noone has done since Monty Python. Yet Tim and Eric take thier own direction with their humor. Tim and Eric are for sure geniuses of comedy even though they are often misunderstood. If there will be a list of shows in 20 years that will be forgotten, I'm sure Tim and Eric wont be on that list.
