Sometimes I'll eat a lot of Shawarma, it creates a sewage smell that keeps Wayne away from my spaghetti house.

Nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup collides with ham.
Are there any other uses for pennis besides pee or sperms?

How do you know if a lady WANTS a pennis in her vagina?

the video hiccups were completely awesome this episode. you couldn't teach anyone how to do them, you just need to have a long history of dealing with local access and videotape editing to get a feel for it i think.

glad to see the tri-county area's only married divorced newsteam back.

yeah, but the best thing about Check it Out! is that it seems like you're actually watching a poorly produced real show. That wouldn't happen on a poorly produced real show. Things like Terry Bruge-Hiplo's plea for help (Call Sheriff Ramb) are unbelievably bizarre, but realistic.

Yeah i see what you mean. Although i think the show uses too many camera cuts to accurately pass for a low-budget public access show.

I dunno, this guy seems to pull it off. Brule's cuts look more polished and rehearsed though. (Let's paint TV guy, from earlier in the thread)

This is what I got from it. However, it's a good point that it was very awesome show-ish, and maybe not check it out!ish.

I hope next week we get another wouldn't that be cool segment, one of the jump cuts this week had it, but it must have gotten lost in the editing process.

The episode was funny, but yeah, I think Jan and Wayne made it way too Tim-and-Eric-y, for lack of a better word. The first episode was way more subtle and believable than Awesome Show, and the absurd appearance (and sound effects) of the Skylars kind of destroyed that atmosphere.

I totally dug the bed scene though.

Man, no complaints about this episode from me. I watched it 3 times and it only got funnier. Jan and Wayne's appearance was amazing, and we finally see some action from those 2 star crossed lovers! What a plot development! My god... Steve saying roast beef referring to Jan's tits was the best, cos to me it seemed like it made Wayne think he was talking about her vergana. Well like, the bit where Steve says, "Right on her roast beef!" and it cuts to Wayne fuming, made it seem that way hah

It's eerie how much Tim can look like a middle aged lady with a man's haircut. Also I finally got seasons 1, 2 and 3 on DVD and they're wonderful. But I'm a bit disappointed there's only commentary tracks on season 1, but that's okay, better than nothing at all!

Have some screencaps! For your health.

I hope I don't start up a wave of people asking you to cap 16 billion different things, but I unsuccessfully looked everywhere for a cap of Steve with this glasses off and cake all over his face from the first episode, just before the sushi segment, if you can produce one I would be so thankful I wouldn't even know what to do with myself.

Yeah definitely, this was billed as a dude who snuck in late at night and made his own show, but it was way too much Awesome Show. It's mainly in the sound effects, Awesome Show always has obviously added on sound effects like slurping and poo poo, any time the Skylars were onscreen it had obviously dubbed slaps and etc, took me out of it.

I laughed my rear end off at most of it though, overall I thought it was funnier than the first one.

But if anyone does want certain caps, I'll try my best to find them and cap them, I've got nothing better to do. Plus capping funny things is good for your health.

It's this nightmare world combining the worst of 70s, 80s, and 90s culture and technology. Everyone is incompetent, socially retarded, and unhealthy. Every show is public access, and every useless gadget is made by the omnipresent Cinco infomercial conglomerate. All restaurants are crappy all you can eat buffets or stark Chili's/Red Lobster/Olive Garden family restaurant chains. All art you see is either the sort of mass produced print you see on waiting room walls or gaudy things made by local eccentrics. Philosophy comes from corny self-help books and buisness seminars. Everyone dresses in the most unattractive clothing that can be found in a Goodwill. Everything bureaucratic is automated, and never works.

The show takes place in an alternate reality where Hitler won World War II.

As much as I like that concept, wouldn't they all be speaking German? I mean, we only got a couple of German references, like Zwei Dunkel Jungen... seems a bit unfatherland of Tim and Eric. Maybe the show's so underground, even Hitler's son couldn't stop them.

Well i think it would be a lot like the Roman Empire, where various places would keep their own languages and be allowed some sense of autonomy, but the influence of the imperialist nation couldnt help but seep in. who cares

I was rewatching the first season today and I think one of my all-time favorite Brule bits is "I'm Dr. Steve Brule your greengrocer!" Just something about the way he rapid-fire spits that out (followed by the mealy apple, it's a terrible season for apples).
