TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[33anda3rd]

How about The Eric Andre Show? I've only seen a few clips on YouTube, but I get major Tim and Eric vibes from it.

Super bizarre. Like, way bizarre. Not funny the way Tin and Eric were funny-absurd. It's absurd but has a real abrupt style of humor. It's funny at points, and usually it's funny in a very surprising way, like stuff comes out of a real moment of honesty that the abrupt style creates. There was a porn star on, Eric asks her "how do you stay so skinny?" and she just laughs and says, not expecting that question but being honest, "I'm starving. All the time." It's funny, but it's not funny, but it's funny. I am probably not explaining this show well.

Tim and Eric was the stupidest [expletive] thing in the history of television and possibly mankind.

No way, Tim and Eric was a great show. The quality of the skits was incredibly volatile though. Sometimes, they were legitimately hilarious. Other times, they were abysmal; not just mediocre, but virtually unwatchable. Besides, they even had Bob Odenkirk's endorsement... what more could you possibly want?

Jokes? I wanted to like it a lot more than I actually did, because daytime tv commercials, or whatever they're goofing on, are hilariously bad, but the thing is it was too often more of a reenactment than a goofing on.

Yeah, I sort of understand this sentiment. Tim Heidecker was touring through here recently (doing stand-up). A friend wanted me to go with him, but I didn't bother, because I just assumed that Tim Heidecker stand-up would be completely awful and a waste of time. I can't envision that brand of humor translating well to an environment like that.

Catching up with "The Killing" on Netflix. Love the layers to the story.

Even under heavy influence of smoke, I never found that show funny. Shows going for complete absurdity are tough for me to really get into - I can stomach maybe 10 minutes of Aqua Teen before preferring just about anything else, and that's probably my favorite absurdist show I can think of. Tim and Eric were just... too weird. Made it 5 minutes into the movie before giving up.

I def prefer the whitest kids u know to tim and eric

It's hard to resonate when there's no message or truth being conveyed whatsoever. There's no point of view and nothing to resolve. No journey. I could laugh at a series of fart noises and knock knock jokes for a short period of time, but I'd be done with it pretty quickly.
