Quite possibly the least funny comedy I've ever seen. I even wanted to like it, but it's just so strange. With me?

I agree. It's not really funny, although the intro might suggest so. (Well sort of).

tom goes to the mayor is better...

It's more surreal than funny. Though I have to say, the Beaver Boys sketches are my favorites. I have the Beaver Boys theme song on my iPod. (though I have to say, it got old pretty fast)

The only funny thing about Tim and Eric: Awesome show is Brule's Rules. FOR YOUR HEALTH!

Not as good as Tom Goes to the Mayor, but it has its moments.

I must say that's pretty nutrageous....

John C. Reilly cracks me up...

It's the right kind of fake awful... unlike most of what I've seen...

Yes! T&EAS:GJ is amazing!! It's like public access radiated with pure Awesome. 8O :o :lol:
I heard somewhere though that people that grew up in the 80s and 90s were more apt to like it, since that was the height of cheesy advertising, which would make you appreciate the humor more.


However, nothing can even touch Xavier and its otherworldly levels of Awesome.

It can be funny, and has relative concept w/modern living, but only from it's own view for the most part (like making an absurd representation on a broad spectrum, but on that one spectrum). Most viewers aren't even aware it would be easier for them to just daydream up their own Tim & Eric ep. after watching it a couple of times, than it would be to watch it multiple times only to totally deconstruct it. ;)

My favorite sketches are the spagett sketch and the casey tatum sketch.
Speaking of adult swim...does anyone like Look Around You?
I think it's hilarious.
