Haha, Daly is amazing in this episode. I don't know if he's hosed up or what, but whatever he's doing it's magical.

Whatever method he's on, I want some. I really enjoyed the video aspect of this episode (not to mention the audio aspect). Can't wait until there's a video I4H, I think that would be really great.

I still like to visualize characters, so I think I'll always listen to the audio podcast before watching the video. It's why the TV show slightly didn't work for me. ALW doesn't look a bit like PFT when I'm listening to him

I gotta say that PFT's Cake Boss actually looks just like the real Cake Boss and was perfect, and El Chupacabra was also perfect on the show.

Watching this on video was a billion times more amazing with Jon Daly, holy poo poo was he drunk but amazingly hilarious so. Fingerguns at the camera and winks  Still having a hard time I guess 'getting' Tims humor. It just looks like he's legit not into the other two and would just like to have a two-man show with Scott. Especially near the end where he straight up takes off his headphones and leans back bored, it took me off enjoyings Daly amazing jelloem he was doing at the time. It's kind of like the sketch where Adam and Harry are from the lumbermmill and make a huge effort out of removing all comedic timing and jokes, but without it really working. Or I guess working so well I actually find it not funny.

C'mon. You have to appreciate a George Burns impression with train whistle toots for cigar puffs. It was pretty much the funniest thing that's ever happened.

He's like the anti-straight man, playing open contempt for everything around him and very rarely breaking. There's a great bit near the end of the video, about when he starts on the George Burns bit when it looks like he surprises himself with a quip with such perfect timing that he ducks out of frame because he starts cracking up too hard to keep his aloof character going. The guy commits.

I guess it's subjective. The reasons you like him are the exact reasons I don't like him. In a sea of "Yes, and" and "No, but" he's an island of just plain "No". I enjoyed his appearance on How Did This Get Made because he was just being himself. It was the first time he came across as genuine.

I appreciated Scott telling Tim to can it when he starts in again with his low energy I'm not into comedy right now thing 5 minutes after Daly brings all that wonderful energy. The guy didn't know when to adapt and drop it. On the other hand, he then launched into being hilarious.

Fingerguns at the camera and winks You either get it or you don't. Some people think that Heidecker's anti-comedy (or purposely being unfunny to us laymen) is hilarious. I don't get it either. I find it kind of odd he seems to have fallen in with the UCB crowd. Isn't his schtick kind of incongruous with improvisational comedy? I think I'd tolerate it better if it was one thing he did, like one character out of a host of characters he was able to do. But as far as I've seen, he's a one-trick pony. He's a comedian who pretty much has one bit: "the not funny at all guy". But, as I already admitted, I don't get it. So maybe it's just me and almost everyone else who is wrong. It was awesome having such a forceful presence as Bill Cosby Bukowski on at the same time so Heidecker couldn't ruin the show again.

His first appearance on CBB is unlistenable but he cracks me up otherwise. Different strokes.

I don't mind him, and he wasn't too bad this time, but the episode where he and Eric were both on was fantastic. I think he just needs somebody to work with and that'll respond to his un-jokes in a way he expects, rather than Scott's thing of just letting them do their thing.

I find it kind of odd he seems to have fallen in with the UCB crowd. Isn't his schtick kind of incongruous with improvisational comedy? He does have many characters. Not just the dozens on 5 seasons of Tim & Eric, but he's been doing his "bad stand-up from the early 90s" character for years on stage. His persona on podcasts, radio/tv interviews, or Twitter is very different from the "himself" character he plays on T&E or Tom in Tom Goes To The Mayor, which is very naive and innocent to play off Eric's more boorish "himself" persona or The Mayor. On podcasts or Twitter, he pushes the meanness and aloofness of it to such an extreme that it's amazing he doesn't break character more often. As far as you've seen is clearly not that much. The term "anti-comedy" is such a cop out. What does that even mean? It sounds like something from a bad AV Club article or something a brandy-swirling aristocrat would say about Monty Python 40 years ago.

I agree that Heidecker's style of comedy can be uniquely frustrating and infuriating, but I don't think it's always a matter of him being a one trick pony. He can go some pretty weird places with the riffs that are going on. His appearance with Reggie Watts and Andy and Jon Daly was very funny, and I can't even believe how good his comic timing was when he was repeatedly stumbling over the names of Star Trek characters and somehow making it sound believable. When it comes along to riffing with a group, his obstinance can be kind of annoying and can drag a bit down a little bit, but I think he does know how to get out of the way when he needs to. And the rapport between him and Jon Daly on this episode is clearly not real, Tim is one of the guests on the #230pst podcast that Jon can't stop bringing up.

The switch to George Burns was pretty much perfect too, such an outdated impression of a guy who was never all that funny in the first place. Tim never really changed characters at all, he just shifted gears from "unsuccessful business man" to "unsuccessful business man doing a George Burns impression". The concept was funny, and it was executed well.

Getting picked up after the second episode airs is a sign that it's doing very well. (Let me clarify here - very well for comedy central, where they don't pay anyone for poo poo unless your name is Matt Stone, Trey Parker, Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert. I guess Tosh probably gets some coin now, too. They don't have to pay much for everyone else, really - it's about exposure for the most part.) ashpanash fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Jan 31, 2013 |

I'm just glad it's being given some more time. I haven't been terribly impressed with any single episode so far, but some of the skits have been pretty good, and I feel that they all can get better given time. I'm just waiting for Chupacabra to show up, and I think next week's has Gil Faizon, so that should be good.

This buffering is awful. I feel bad that they decided to take questions this episode because 100% of the comments are about the buffering. And the number of viewers was down to like 350 before I gave up.
