Synopsis

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is an American sketch comedy television series, created by and starring Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, which premiered February 11, 2007 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim comedy block and ran until May 2010. The program features surrealistic and often satirical humor, public-access television–style musical acts, bizarre faux-commercials, and editing and special effects chosen to make the show appear camp. The program featured a wide range of actors, spanning from stars such as Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Will Forte and Zach Galifianakis, to alternative comedians like Neil Hamburger, to television actors like Alan Thicke, celebrity look-alikes and impressionists. The creators of the show have described it as "the nightmare version of television."

RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
masterandoverlord Why would any network ever broadcast this abysmal pile of putrid slime. This show is insulting to every sense...yes, even smell and touch. This show stinks so bad that you can smell it through the TV and the thought of it makes my skin crawl. The skits presented on this so called comedy are so bad I fell dumber every time I watch one. The "humor" presented absolutely unfunny and would only appeal to the most childish or the stoned. Perhaps the fact that I have an I.Q. over 40 is preventing me from enjoying the absolute ignorance of this obnoxious, ridiculous and sad program. I don't know how much more I can convey the stupidity presented in the 10 line minimum.
Stoh80 Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! lies at the extreme end of the comedy spectrum spectrum. Never before I have I seen a show that maxes out on outrageousness, goofiness, and non-jokes as this one does. A surrealistic, satirical campy sketch show hosted by comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, this show cannot get any more ridiculous, and that is why I love it.Tim and Eric is a parody show, but what does it parody? The simple answer is everything. From faux-commercials, to news programs, to random musical numbers, the viewer soon finds that Tim and Eric does not spare anyone. Many reoccurring actors and guest stars make sure that each episode, and more importantly each sketch segment, is radically different from the last. Even mid-segment the mood can drastically change, going say from a campy mattress commercial to a demonically dark dream sequence. With outrageous, completely unbelievable characters and plenty of just as ridiculous costumes and makeup, the visuals alone are enough to have me cracking up. Though there is hardly a coherent plot, each episode does an overall theme that more or less connects the individual sketches to one another.I fully understand that Tim and Eric is not for everyone. Most will probably find it way too over the top, but it is exactly because of that I find it original and enjoyable. Though their show is very chaotic, after watching a few episodes one will see that Tim and Eric have created their own extravagant world, complete with overlapping and reoccurring characters and stories. Cinco, Channel 5 News, and Spagett are just a few of things that the viewer will find in Tim and Eric. This is definitely a show that I had to give a few episodes, but after I gave it a chance I can see why it has a cult following. I now eagerly await Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, which I hope will be every bit as outrageous and surreal as their show.
rogerpodacter11 Hello, I'd like to complain about your show.Now I've never watched your show, nor do I intend to. Because ya know what? I don't watch trash. Ya know why? The place for trash is in the gutter; not ma mind.And ya know what else I'd like to complain about?The city I live in.They're suing me for putting my trash in the gutter. They say I should put it in a trash can. Well, ya know what belongs in a trash can? YOUR SHOW! Because ya know what? IT STINKS! And ya know what else? GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! GET OUT!
Josh Clapham Though this review might not be all that long, I hope those who read these will not skim over it. I am writing this review to spare many people of the pain that is this horrible show.Anywho, Tim and Eric have tried for ages to be funny. They started with Tom Goes to the Mayor, which, honestly, was rather funny. However, once they decided to try to parody what feels like just about everything that (they think) needs parodying and start to dabble in the crap-fest that is "anti-humor", they tank horribly.The problem with anti-humor is just that: It's not funny. When you start to get into the meta side of comedy and humor, things get very much confusing and too muddled. As far as your average human being (or even some of your above-average) goes, any joke that you have to think about for more than 10-20 seconds is a bit much. And that is exactly what Tim and Eric try to do.For those that actually feel like contemplating comedy and reading up on the subject, you might find some form of humor in the show. However, for your average viewer of Adult Swim, it's just not a great show. It's extremely sad to see the directors of the network start to drift from blunt humor like The Oblongs and Mission Hill to this absurd, abstract trash.
