I want to see more Uncle Muscles hours. Even though it's the same joke I love seeing Eric dance in silly costumes and hear Tim sing poorly and get sick.

I want a pair of glasses like Eric has in those skits.

The Uncle Muscles Hours' are definitely top shelf. The first episode had the best one because it was the perfect mix of visuals and awkwardness. The grunts of consternation after the music skipped were crazy brilliant. There are a bunch on youtube, including http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIMsTnSgLEA which is them live on that G4 show and a short interview afterwards where the old man who played Tim's fake dad is speaking for them

Tim's makeup in those skits is horrifying to me for some reason. He looks all bruised and sickly, and when he gets sick it makes me want to puke. Then I laugh when Eric is dancing, and my body is just confused, but happy. :swoon:

You don't expect anyone here to agree with you, right? Because of course you're entitled to your opinion and everything, but coming into a thread where everyone's talking about how much they like T&E and then posting about how much you hate it seems kind of silly to me.

But hey, what do I know? After all, I love Saul of the Mole Men too.

This thread seemed to me to be about the show, so I don't think I'm out of bounds to state my negative opinion of the show. If you love the show I have no problem with that, I just personally get tired of seeing those two.

I didn't say you were out of bounds; I won't go as far as to say you're trolling because this isn't a Tim and Eric appreciation thread, just a thread about the show. It's just annoying to people who enjoy the show when you post stuff like that.

Hah, I thought that was the same guy. Although it would be funny if it were just some crazy black guy.

I want to get an avatar of something from either this show or Saul, as I'm getting tired of my current one (can't let the people in the Metalocalypse thread know about that :ninja:). I just can't decide what to get. Maybe Dr. Steve Brule?

Holy poo poo it does sound like a weird Xiu Xiu EP song. I loved the first episode of Tom Goes to the Mayor and then was a bit underwhelmed by the rest, but god this show is right up my alley. Plus every guest star has been amazing so far and the songs are awesome.

I mean Michael Cera, Zach Galifianakis, Bob Odenkirk, Weird Al. I can't wait for David Cross, then my life will be complete.

The show in SF was fun though I hated the DJ guy. Plus my boyfriend and I were dumb and didn't stop to think if it was doors open at 8 or show at 8 so we got there at 7:00 and waited in line by people who would not stop talking about ninja turtles and by some kids who thought they were real cool by sneaking gulps of booze like no one noticed.

My boyfriend nudged me and said "these are the people you govern." Please tell me they are not. :( Please tell me you guys wouldn't talk about ninja turtles in line for ages. If by some freak chance that was someone here....THE SHAME! It got to a point where it wasn't even funny like nostalgia-talk irony funny but was just kind of weird.

I hope whoever was heckling the DJ so much wasn't a plant or something.

Oh yeah, I got that he's supposed to be terrible on purpose (you can tell right away from all the silly DJ DOUG POUNDDD IN THE MIX stuff he throws in and the jokes that go nowhere) but it still didn't do anything for me--- perhaps because I was right by the loving speaker on the left and he was so loud it hurt my ears the second he opened his mouth. But that's not really his fault, the speaker system there loving sucked. I don't mind stuff that's supposed to be bad on purpose most of the time (why else would I laugh at the Great Wall?) but this just didn't work, sorry. :(

When I called him, I only let it ring twice and didn't leave a message. He called me a second time at 8:30 this morning. I kind of wanted to answer and tell him how much I liked his appearance on the show but I'm not sure if such communication is something I'd like to encourage.

What the hell is he doing there, though? He mentions the Anna Nicole paternity stuff, so it must be recent. Maybe between the show beginning to air but before the Awesome Tour started, he had nothing to do?

His entire YouTube channel is awesome, though: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=theidecker
