I've loved everything about this show, and I watched the first episode 3 times.

Of course, I realized I'd be in the vocal minority when it had the Tim and Eric name on it. I don't know how these guys do it, but they're really good at making people hate them loudly.

Yeah, I like Saul. I admit, some of the "THIS SHOW IS CHEAP AND CHEESY" jokes do fall flat, but it seems like a great step above a lot of the poo poo Adult Swim has been shoveling out lately.

Okay the newest episode had me choking I was laughing so hard. Plus, Paul Reubans and Michael Cerra. Tim and Eric shows have the best guest stars.


edit: took out the spoilers since it has been mentioned a few times

I agree, this one was a little slower than the last few episodes. For some reason, I loved the cat puppet skit just because it reminded me of a demented PBS show ran by one of those alien conspiracy nuts.

This is probably my favorite episode so far. Female Eric got me all hot and bothered.

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but is it safe to assume the Spiderweb skit was a CKY/Bam/Jack rear end parody?

I had to stop wearing my HIM belt buckle because I got tired of explaining to my Christian GIRLFRIEND that the heartagram isn't satanic but is actually a ward against evil.

This was probably my favorite episode so far, I pretty much laughed the entire time. Last week was my least favorite.

Is there a new form of comedy where it's cool to not have your audience laugh at all?

They're taking the familiar, and making it ridiculously over the top. The local matress store's cheesy commercial, the serious business men(Tim's voice in that was hilarious), the overly friendly shopping channel lady with the slightly southern accent. It's funny to me because of how ridiculous it gets. The thought of some woman on QVC spazzing out about her emotionally abusive mom and making a wookie noise makes me laugh hard.

I thought that episode was horrible, but the end was kind of funny.

I thought this episode was weak because it had a plot, and I felt that really slowed down the usual fast pace of the show. Without the fast pace, it kind of kills some of the unpredictability, and makes it feel like any other sketch show. I know other episodes have had themes, but this one had an actual plot and I just wasn't digging it. It could also be because it followed my favorite episode of the season.

So is that the end of the whole thrilling season? To me it had its ups and downs, but that's what makes Tim and Eric's humor so great. There's no way they can know whether this stuff is going to make anyone laugh or not, but they do it anyway and that's what makes them so awesome.
