Tim slowly figuring out what "overruled" actually means is likely the peak of The Trial.

I started watching this because of the thread. I just finished season 1. I've only seen some random Tim & Eric stuff and the first hour of The Trial, which I liked but now I feel like I have to watch all of this first to get the whole story. The name butchering is definitely the best part, especially "And it stars, surprisingly, Bill Murray as President Oba-" and then Tim mispronouncing Roosevelt in like three different ways.

Still disappointed we never got to see Classic Movie Time. (And Mister America was one of my favorite movies to come out this year, I want to see the TURKINGTON CUT)

Nailing "Joaquin" and then immediately loving up "Phoenix" makes me laugh every time I think about it.

Just throwing in another huge recommendation for the Oscar specials. I admire the actors' ability to stay in character live for 3hrs, although they sometimes crack and it melts my heart. Gregg in particular can be seen holding in laughter at times. Best Oscar special was the one with the Jaws 2 40th anniversary celebration and Mark Proksch in an attempted recreation of an underwater Jaws scene nearly suffocating and being sent to the hospital while the show was airing

watching the whole trial is great if you get the chance, it starts off insanely slow but it has some of the best stuff in the whole series imo

what's up with tims... method of acting on decker? It seemed normalish in the first season but then the second season it got a little weird and i assumed that was because of his head injuries/sleep deprivation but now I'm on s3 and he's still making those faces

But really I think real life Tim probably just wanted to lay it on a little thicker to make sure no one would think he believed the awful things he sometimes says as Decker. It's a really great Steven Seagal/wannabe Jack Bauer impression.

Yeah, the Decker character is insane but it’s honestly pretty accurate to late career Seagal.

If folks haven't heard it, Tim reading dialogue from Ben Shapiro's terrible Tom Clancy novel as Jack Decker is amazing. It highlights just how close Decker gets to the real thing with its parody: https://soundcloud.com/chapo-trap-house/episode-79-our-values-are-under-attack-feat-tim-heidecker-2617 (it starts at about 50 minutes)

Detective No. 27 posted:The name mispronunciation gag is so much stronger in the later seasons when Tim is in full on 80s grifter businessman mode. I gotta say, the name mispronunciation gag felt like a ripoff of Between Two Ferns at first, but Tim does it so much better than Zach. And gently caress Ferns in general anyway.

I listened to about half of it. I'm not too into the audio stuff. (got so much to listen to as it is.) I gathered that Mark is alive but missing, possibly wandering the streets of LA as a homeless person.

Exactly like Obama.

You don't review the Kennedy Assassination based on whether it was a good assassination. You review it based on if it's a good movie, which it was.

I'm really happy this thread exists because OC is amazing. I am a massive T&E fan and noticed the Trial of Tim Heidecker as a suggested watch on YouTube. I couldn't believe that I had missed out on such a great series. I've just begun watching the actual Decker show and am aghast at how great everything is. When I watched the Oscar Special segment with TCH Jr. being brought back to life my jaw was agape. I couldn't believe how loving insane the tribute was to his (effectively) murdered child. I appreciate that just about everything pays off in the show in one way or another. Little things like the argument over getting air conditioning in the theater. Sure enough, Gregg acquiesces and the remaining theater episodes have a loud humming AC compressor running in the background. I could probably start a thread on a guy I know who is a real-life incarnate of Tim's character. Dude was given a bar by his family that he ran into the ground, but not before hosting music and MMA events there, which was a springboard into his simultaneous new careers as an MMA announcer and music producer/promoter/artist. This culminated in a music festival which missed its debut weekend, was pushed to another weekend three months later in a different state, and then finally failed again. Both times failed were for lack of securing permits. You know - a very basic first step to doing something like this. He's now personally on the hook for loads of money because he never setup an LLC or secured insurance. It was a litany of failure all the way down and now I believe he's trying to pivot into motivational speaking.

If folks haven't already seen it, Overnight is a really great documentary about the director of The Boondock Saints, who is a lot like Tim too: https://imdb.com/title/tt0390336/ He's paranoid, delusional, and gets just enough validation to ensure he never changes his behavior or attitudes. And since you mentioned it, Tim really ought to get into the whole motivational speaking/real estate coaching scam eventually, it would fit his character perfectly.

https://youtu.be/ZMIQEWdPaRA It's Gregg's independent Oscar special made with Mark while Tim was off touring with Dekkar. The actual story behind it is that Adult Swim didn't give them any money for an Oscar special that year so this is what they threw together last minute. It's got some funny moments but it's definitely not on the level of the other specials.
