Tim and Eric are so awlful...

[JT]

...yet they keep getting guess starts like Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and Jeff Goldman to star in their stuff. They haven't even been around that long in the business so I can't even say they owe them favors or anything.

For those who don't know who I'm talking about, they're the guys who brought us the craptastic shows "Tom Goes to The Mayor" and "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show" on Adult Swim.

[Fignuts]

Tom goes to the mayor was excellent, most of the time. Awesome show Great Job! only has one or two moments per ep that make me laugh, if that.

[Triple A]

Tim and Eric is incredible and hilarious.

I love it.

Never liked Tom Goes to the Mayor though.

But Tim and Eric is fantastic in every way.

[Xerzes]

Those shows are terrible and so are those two guys.

[Fignuts]

I didn't like Tom Goes to the Mayor at first, but it grew on me. First season is the weakest, BTW.

[Boondock Saint]

Tim and Eric is incredible and hilarious.

I love it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Haven't actually seen their shit, but I think they got their start by running in the same sort of crowd as Jack Black, didn't they? It'd be favours from guy who are owed favours.

It's not 12 Oz Mouse bad, but I can't say I'm a fan. I know guys that eat that shit up, though.

It's just a certain type of humor, I guess.

[Juan]

Not my kind of humor.

[.44 Magdalene]

Yeah. I've chuckled a little at some of the Awesome Show stuff, but it's mostly just like... "stop trying so hard to be weird, guys"

Never found Tom Goes to the Mayor to be entertaining at all, though.

[.44 Magdalene]

And the show has convinced one of my roommates that John C. Reilly is untalented and/or weaksauce, which is retarded

[Triple A]

Your opinions are wrong.

[Destor]

Kevin ferrera (sp?) from AotS once said something like "those who get will love it and those who don't will say wtf?" This made me start watching it again to see what I failed to get. I still haven't figured it out. I dunno what I'm "not getting" but this show is probably the most unentertaining thing I have ever seen.

Someone please tell me what I "fail" to understand that can make this not suck.

[Fignuts]

Your opinions are wrong.

SHUT UP

[Alan The Rapist]

They aren't trying to be weird, they're making fun of how shitty public access television is. The fact that you don't get that simple concept means it's ok that the rest of it goes over your heads.

[Destor]

[Alan The Rapist]

Well, that's what they're doing. You must have never seen shitty public access. This show is a very healthy form of venting at shitty cocksuck tv.

[.44 Magdalene]

No, I totally get that part. It's still weird to base most of an entire TV show off of something that random, and alot of the shit they do is still just... weird for being weird.

[Alan The Rapist]

Nothing wrong with being weird.

[Triple A]

It is surreal humor. When I watch it I feel like I am "tripping out". It is sort of "anti-art" if I wanna be pretentious and gay about it. There is nothing to explain. It is just absurd shit. Some people will like it, some will not. It is kind of like David Lynch's movies. Some people love them because they are surreal and experimental and different, a lot of people hate them because they don't like things that are "weird". Basically I am saying I am better than you because I like it.

[Fignuts]

There is nothing that surreal about Tom Goes to the Mayor, tho. It's just a guy constantly getting himself in hilariously bad situations. And as the rapist guy pointed out, a mockery of shitty public access tv.

[James Steele]

They are both ok, but I would not waste money on a DVD or anything.

[Destor]

I like Tom Goes to the Mayor though.

[El Fangel]

Those shows are terrible and so are those two guys.

[BigDaddyCool]

Tom Goes to the Mayor and Tim and Eric are both awful shows. I have no idea how they are still on. I mean if I was high, I guess it could be funny, but by that token, anything would be funny.

[Alan The Rapist]

David Lynch, however, is garbage.
