I was wondering WTF was up with the MIDI skit, then I realized it was probably a jab at the RIAA. That is, everything that makes recorded music worthwhile has been made illegal, and the only music they can listen to is ancient public domain recordings. Also, "douchebag".

It was just another one of their jokes about old technology.

I loved this episode. "Focus on your chi", "You're gonna give me your dad's e-mail address", and Richard Dunn going "You messed up! Gotcha!" were all classic moments. Also the recreation of the staircase incident was great, and Tim makes a startlingly realistic old man. Is it just me or does anyone else remember E-Z Creme being on Carol's face when (s)he woke up?

I just finished watching it, and I thought it was a solid episode all around. For some reason, the crackers and snacks bit made me laugh like crazy, and I loved both commercials. The MIDI one was probably my favorite part of the episode, but I really don't think there was any kind of RIAA/downloading music bent to it, it just seemed like it was making fun of old technology.

Richard Dunn should be in every episode. His sketch idea about a "perdicure" was hilarious, and this week was even funnier. He has a perfect comedic delivery. I thought the episode was funny, but a bit weak compared to the rest mainly due to the fact that other episodes are constant laughs whereas I didn't find the Tim and Eric as old people funny at all. Oh well, the rest was awesome and I can't wait for the DVD set of this show, because I watch each episode about 5 times a week and I really want to watch some of the old sketches like Kid's Break.

I don't see why people think this is the weakest episode, Salame was definitely worse. This one seemed to have a lot more blatant parody of things than the show usually has though. I would still put it up as one of the best.

I would still put it up as one of the best. YMMV, obviously. I loved the Salame episode; David Liebe Hart had me in tears during that episode, as did Uncle Muscle. Watched the latest episode again... and as per usual, I like it a bit more, but still think it's pretty weak compared to some of the previous ones. The Polish Pirate posted:Richard Dunn should be in every episode. His sketch idea about a "perdicure" was hilarious, and this week was even funnier. He has a perfect comedic delivery. Oh god yes. "You broke your nail, and you don't know what to do... you need to get it fixed, get yourself a perdicure!" Yes, yes, yes. My friends and I rewound that part so many times. e:Also; "Who wrote the pizza boy sketch?" "Guilty." "That was good." "Could be hilarious, could also be disgusting." ... his monotone, serious voice. So good. That, and "The New You" sketch from last week. I believe that was Maria Bamford, and god was that funny. "Oh your hands are so dry..." "Shut up... just shut up Mom." "Why don't you shut the gently caress up?"

I thought this episode was weak because it had a plot, and I felt that really slowed down the usual fast pace of the show. Without the fast pace, it kind of kills some of the unpredictability, and makes it feel like any other sketch show. I know other episodes have had themes, but this one had an actual plot and I just wasn't digging it. It could also be because it followed my favorite episode of the season.

Either that or selling you nasal spray, or yelling at you about some crazy sale on last year's models this Saturday at the local Ford dealership. My favorite part was the parody of Whose Line Is It Anyway. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought that show was the antithesis of humor. Even the British version. It wasn't funny when I first saw it in the early 90s and it isn't funny now.

Uh Oh Spagettios posted:I still have that "crackers and snacks" song, as well as the creature singing it, stuck in my head Yes, seriously gently caress that song. It hasn't left my head since Friday night. It doesn't help that I share my fourth period with a fellow Awesome Show fan and if talking about it doesn't put Crackers and Snacks in my head, I get Meditation for Children in there. And this happens every week with whatever ridiculously catchy song Tim and Eric came up with for that particular episode.

I think my favorite part of this episode was just the general sending up they do of that awful "retrospective" celebration of boring-rear end TV shows from the 1960s where they bring out all the has-been corpses for a look at the old shows. Settle down, paisan! You'll get your spaghetti soon.

Just a reminder to everybody that the complete series of Tom Goes to the Mayor is out on dvd today and it's got some great bonus material. Also, new suicidegirls interview: http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Tim%20and%20Eric/ Very interesting that John C. Reilly came up with the idea for Steve Brule himself.  And 30 more episodes!

30 more episodes! That's great. They said some are going to be really insane, and some are going to feel like the first 10. I can't believe they made so few this time around, I really look forward to the new eps now. But that's okay, AS seems to trust them and they're going to be able to make a lot more.

SuicideGirls Interview posted:Eric Wareheim and Tim Heidecker shook up the world of Adult Swim with their divisive animated series Tom Goes to the Mayor. With the simple premise of a small town man, Tom [played by Heidecker], every week coming up with a new idea which he presents to the town’s mayor [played by Wareheim] who twists it into something awful.  Absolutely awesome interview, though. Tim was able to perfectly summarize why I love the show so much:

Years ago, I actually was an avid collector/listener of midi files, and had several thousand. And it really was impossible for me to keep track of them because they all had titles like "ir9403mar.mid" I thought that the midi sketch might have had something to do with that.
