What the hell did I just watch? Maybe this makes me not on the cutting edge of humor, but I just don't get it. I hated Tom Goes to the Mayor because it was the same crap: unfunny jokes beaten into the ground with a hint of homosexuality.

Maybe the joke needs to be explained to me... why is Bowel funny? Its a Bat-Owl but it also sounds like the thing that manufactures your poop oh i get it ha ha? Seriously.

You thought b'owl was a poop joke? have you ever seen a children's toy commercial? it was a spot on parody, especially the "now b'owl's for BOYS" part. The fact that a hideous bat-owl monster is a toy for little girls is why it's funny. And that look Bob Odenkirk gives as he throws it away? That is the essence of comedy.

I can't get into the Saul show although it looked funny in the commercials. Still, better than anime.

Back to the matter at hand! I got my ticket for the T&E tour at the Echo in LA. I'm not sure what to expect and may regret it but oh well!

Expect AWESOME. I am a better person for being no more than 10 feet away from a live rendition of an Uncle Muscles performance.

I can only seem to get it down to 45K. If anyone else wants to edit it, though, feel free.

I still don't know what to think about Tim & Eric. Both this show and TGTTM can be really hit or miss. But for some reason, I went ahead and bought tickets to their live show at the Croc in Seattle this saturday... I don't know if this is going to suck or not, but I guess $10 a pop isn't too bad. And there is this incredibly tiny bit glimmer of hope in me tbat Odenkirk might be around as well...

If anything, being in a room full of people laughing makes them funnier. They are INSANE live. You'll have a great time.

Meanwhile, most of Gravy Robbers training video and the "free portrait" bit was zzzzz for me.

The great thing about this show is that the skits are so short and the funny stuff is so funny that even when something isn't working for you, something else probably will within the next 2 minutes.

Also as far as subtle jokes go, the faces Micheal Cera makes while he's being jostled by those huge guys and then as he is raising his wine glass at the table crack me up every single time. That kid is hilarious.

They had a lot of new clips that I'm guessing will be on the show at some point, a live Uncle Muscles Hour performance, X-Treme Tim BMX, a couple other skits, and maybe the best video of a certain celebrity guest from TGTTM ever (We were under strict orders to not video tape it because it was insane and if real, they would have their pants sued off.)

Gary Busey. That video is loving insane. I can't believe that guy.

Can anyone run down what exactly it was Gary Busey did? I used to find him to be one of the more interesting celebrities, but in recent years I was beginning to think his "craziness" was just an act.

let's see if I can remember:

They paid him 1000 dollars to say a couple lines on TGTTM

he comes in and he is a total rear end to Tim and Eric
he'll read a line and be like "this is terrible, totally amateur. why would the audience believe this line? you've got to appeal to their HEARTS and their SOULS" and all this INSANE poo poo like that, he's just totally condescending to Tim and Eric over maybe 5 lines he has to read. He then proceeds to tell Tim "you're fired" and tries to rewrite the lines himself. The video is 7 minutes long. They said he was there for the better part of 5 or 6 hours. To record 5 lines.

It's not a joke video either. He is very clearly insane.

Don't forget (all paraphrased but very, very close to the truth: )

- "You would never say 'use your calves,' nobody is that specific. It's 'use your legs.'"
- "Well this guy, see, he's yelling at the kids, screaming, he doesn't sound like a very good coach." "Uh, he's not a good coach. That's the joke." "What? That's not funny. That's not real."
- To the producer: "These guys, they can't write. This loving sucks. The past sense of the words and the future sense of the words are coming in at bad angles, and the sentences are not reaching the emotion."

Also, Gary Busey poured himself a glass of mango juice at one point and missed the glass, pouring juice all over the rug. He then proceeds to return to his script while casually GRINDING THE JUICE INTO THE CARPET WITH HIS FOOT. Eric's only commentary was "Imagine how sticky his floors at home are."

Tim says that off-camera, later, he "fired" him again for putting his feet on his own coffee table. The man is CRA-ZEE.

haha thanks, I saw it back in october so I didn't remember all the specifics.

Serious calls only :(

The show in SF was fun though I hated the DJ guy. Plus my boyfriend and I were dumb and didn't stop to think if it was doors open at 8 or show at 8 so we got there at 7:00 and waited in line by people who would not stop talking about ninja turtles and by some kids who thought they were real cool by sneaking gulps of booze like no one noticed.

My boyfriend nudged me and said "these are the people you govern." Please tell me they are not. :( Please tell me you guys wouldn't talk about ninja turtles in line for ages. If by some freak chance that was someone here....THE SHAME! It got to a point where it wasn't even funny like nostalgia-talk irony funny but was just kind of weird.

I hope whoever was heckling the DJ so much wasn't a plant or something.

The DJ is their friend and guy who works on the show named Doug, and he is terrible on purpose. It took us a while to figure that out when we saw them.

All in all, I think this was a lot better then last Weeks episode. Probably my second favorite. Something about Rollo Tony just gets me.


Seriously...CKY? Do you even GET Tim and Eric?

Well I don't know much about CKY but it did seem like a parody of Jackass or something like that to me.

I think my favorite part of the episode was the Sports! song. Or maybe T'ird. Burn your pornography collection!

I think you guys are reading way too much into A)The Sketch and B) My posts. All I'm saying is if you guys are the type that watch Bam And Co. do their dumb poo poo I don't want you watching this show. YOU are not the target audience. NO ONE who compares THIS show to CKY poo poo deserves to watch the show. I can't even BEGIN to see how you are clawing together a comparison, but knock it off.

Because you obviously have to be a fan of Bam to recognize a parody

I hate those shows too, but so what if someone likes them and Awesome Show? I thinkTim and Eric's target audience is whoever finds them funny, and so what if they find something else funny that you don't.

But this is probably a fakepost so why am I even saying this

My theory is that Dreamworks or whoever paid Adult Swim to make some Shrek 3 promos, and Adult Swim handed that job over to T&E, who created this. I'm so glad they came out with these, I was worried how I'd make it through the hiatus.

Really? I just get the impression that they really really hate Shrek. Or maybe I am just seeing that because I hate Shrek.

The episode taping went great. We were part of an audience in the final sketch of the sixth episode. Lots of energy was required, as we had to do multiple takes of clapping, clapping harder, laughing, and laughing hysterically and jumping out of our seats. All in that theater with no AC. We also got to meet the guest star of the episode, Robin Williams.

no kidding? t and e are going places. I hope they get Goldblum to do an episode of Awesome Show, that would be great.
