I think people are negative towards Tim and Eric because they just look at the surface and don't realize there is some real intelligence and direction underneath it. I'm not saying this to sound all "Heh, plebs don't understand the art :smug:", I just think it's real easy to gloss over it as pure incoherence and shock humor for the sake of it.

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another

Waaay back at the start of this thread, a goon who interned on T&E said that this was Richard Dunn's girlfriend. Apparently they like to listen to reggae together. Also in the extended version of gettin it dunn on the season 3 dvd they talk about how they met.

And speaking of DLH, I wonder if he got mad about the Jim and Derrek episode with Pierre mocking him. "I'm CRAZYYY!"

Does Pierre just have a forgettable face or something? First someone thought he was Tracy Morgan, now he's being put into skits he wasn't in.

It is. I'm as against CATBIRDHAM RANDOM ZOR LOL!! non-humor (re: 95% of adult swim anything) as anyone you'll meet, and I adore T&E. It's so meta about so many things that a lot of people simply don't have the wherewithal to realize that it's a vicious cultural satire first and foremost.

Years back, I loathed TGTTM because at first glance it's some ugly, noisy aimless abomination. Then one day, it 'clicked'. I had some kind of minor epiphany, realized what those two guys were doing and just how subversive it was.

One of the things I think that really makes Tim & Eric work so well is that they are two odd looking mean (well, Eric in particular) who are perfectly content to make themselves look like complete boobs with clothes and make-up. Seriously, that picture makes them look like two of the biggest dorks you'll ever meet, and I can't wait to see it.

The premiere of season five was a total let-down for me. The diarrhea sketch was really awful, everything about the scene was poorly done. Quall of Duty had decent bits but still didn't feel right. Brules rules was also strangely off its game. the whole episode felt like they were pressed for time and didn't attempt to really nail anything they attempted.

after episodes like Universe and Tennis, they're going to have to pick up the pace.

I disagree, but it's alright. I thought the diarrhea sketch was the best poo poo poop related sketch since the poo poo poop tube. Jack McBrayer swimming in a tide of feces inside of a man's colon was hysterical. The ridiculous running kissing gag, which built to Quall giving David Hart a kiss on the forehead was well executed, and came right after my new favorite term from T&E: Thanksgiving Dinner of Sex.

In all, I thought it was a very good episode. Not as good, perhaps, as the two best episodes from last season, but better than most. Plus we got Ron Austar!

I've ordered from them before. I got my stuff fairly quickly. Then again it takes me a good while to get things since I'm out to sea most the time. But I remember it not taking that long. They even sent me an autograph recently. Like it was a Valentine's gift or something. Weird.

Oooooooooooh!

I'm quite a fan of T&E, but I never really understood how they could be so smart and artistic with a lot of their skits, and then go and do scatological humor worse than the dumbest MadTV/SNL/elementary-school-level routine. Almost all of the poo poo-related skits fall flat to me. Is the joke that they're featuring really famous actors on their show just to misuse them in an incredibly disgusting/low-brow skit? I guess on that level it's pretty clever, but I never really got that impression that it was intentional.

Instead, I feel that T&E just think that gross-out diarrhea humor by itself with no additional jokes is funny. And that lets me down a little.

Are you trying to say I shouldn't take D-Pants, and Alan Thicke at face value? I don't think I want to agree with you on that one.

I personally think it was one of the best films, they done!

(Just a side note: Personally I think that the best call back they could do with this is to redo the whole episode, but switch with the actors that play them. I mean play it completely straight, even with the little scene at the end where Tim jokes about going out for drinks, but have the actors do it. It would be kinda like Tommy as in it would be awkward all the time, but I think it would sum up the show nicely.)

Seems to be their way of driving away anyone who already thinks T&E are like that anyway. "Right, now that those assholes are out of the room, let's really get started."

Dangerous for ratings but part of a long, respectable line of provocateurs in comedy.

I'm glad you guys see the fine artistry involved with TnE. It's so hard to introduce it to other people because they just have no idea how deep it's really going. Tim and Eric are the most important film makers of our time as far as I'm concerned. So gently caress the haters and gently caress the OMG RANDOM LOL crowd.

Reiterating what you guys have, it's nice to see people actually appreciate the humor beyond the surface.

I've tried to explain it to friends but whenever I go on about the social commentary I'm met with glazed over eyes. I guess diarrhea filled episodes like last week don't help.

Here's to looking forward to the rest of the season.
