haha yeah i forgot to mention how hilarious the bank computer interlude was. his initial reaction when there's only a 'yes' button was classic
The airline phone system I dealt with was not as ridiculous obviously, but I still was feeling like Eric there when it started asking me for information that I didn't have, with no other options given. "No, no, NO."

There's something about dealing with a smarmy smooth-talking computer that is much worse than dealing with an outdated one.

I dunno guys, I thought that mattress scene was pretty loving funny.

My local matress place brags about their "Amish built wood frames!". It makes me wish they'd show a crazed, blook-soaked Amish guy bludgeoning the bloated announcer with his hand-made hammer.

I think that a skecth like this really shows off one of Tim and Eric's strengths. If the idea got pitched at SNL or Mad TV or something the computer would have started asking crude or offensive questions. But with Tim and Eric it just asks about types of boats. And it's much funnier that way.

I agree, the fact that its rarely crude is what puts a smile on my face. Well that and a few well placed f-bomb bleeps.

And for some strange reason I don't have a problem with the subtle homo eroticism, but with the hetero :confsued:

This line was pretty much one of the best from the last episode, and it sounded completely improvised. God bless you, little old man.

Also, I really wish some of you could quit saying "X is Tim and Eric's humor" and "if you think X, don't watch the show". It's a more veiled version of the elitist bullshit that Dr MegaTaco was probated for.

If you enjoy the show for any reason, watch it.

Agreed, and guilty as charged. I swear I'm not trying to ascribe any sort of 'rules and regulations' to enjoying the show, I'm just the weird type of rear end in a top hat that likes to over-analyze exactly why I like the things that I do. But yeah, it does come across as sort of lovely, so I'll keep my mouth shut about it. :downs:

I like this show a lot, although it does have its rough moments (please for the love of god get rid of the weird guy with the puppet). For me so far, the highlights have been the 2 "Kids Break" segments, and the Zach G. Gravy Robbers thing. I never watched Tom Goes to the Mayor while it was on, but from what I have seen of TGTTM now, Tim and Eric is easily better.

Yeah, it was on just about every commercial break last night on AS. You'll catch it tonight for sure. It's sort like a Tim and Eric send-up of a local commercial for a car dealer or something.

There's this guy in one of my classes who watches the show, apparently. Every week at some point in class he'll yell something from the newest episode to me. Today it was "I HATE THESE OLD MEN", to which I replied "HE TAUGHT ME MANY LESSONS ABOUT LEARNING ABOUT LIFE". Fun stuff.

My buddy and I were both huge Mr. Show fans, and are really big into that whole style of obnoxious absurdist comedy, but he absolutely hates TGTM and Tim and Eric, and I love it. Other than that, our tastes in "the funny" are almost identical. So there's definitely something polarizing about the drat show.

I don't think the two shows are that similar, really. I thought TGGTM was pretty easy to "get", since Tom basically has this whole Bob Newhart straight-man thing going on, even down to similar mannerisms and timing. The situations and pacing were kind of weird, but it was basically a very traditional comedic style.

The Awesome Show is... strange. I did like the bank machine sketch alot, very funny, first big laugh I ever got from this show.

Why the hell not? Comedy Central is too refined and stuffy for most of the Adult Swim shows. Somebody's got to program them...

I just found out today that Tim is from Allentown, an hour away from me...and Eric is from Audobon, about 2 towns over from where I grew up. Small world!

I can't believe it's the 9th episode already. Very different, I loved the ending and Tim & Eric's replacements from a couple eps back reenacting.

The best was Pierre, though. :swoon: He is the greatest!

The announcer is the voice of Spongebob, if I can recall correctly. He was also in The Mr. Show with bob & dave, so I'm guessing it's him. I mean...it looks just like him.

It was definitely Tom Kenny, "glurg" or whatever was definitely a parody of spongebob

Yeah I was glad to see Tom Kenny doing some actual sketch comedy instead of just voiceovers. He's always entertaining. His spaghetti jokes were really funny. Bob was great as always.

But my favorite part of the episode was the all Richard version of Whose Line is it Anyway. Absolutely hilarious. I guarantee that show would be far funnier than actual Whose Line.
