Talk:Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

My b'owl is pretty!

Episode table needs descriptions

I created a table for the episodes, but it still needs synopses of each episode. Enjoy MGlosenger 21:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Proper style for episode synopses

I think it's important that the summaries of each episode preserve some of the humor and punchlines. For example, the summary to "Carol," which I originally added, was recently expanded with something that I view as unnecessary for an encyclopedic synopsis. There's the potential spoiler, et cetera. In fact, I reduced my original synopsis to avoid this very thing. I plan on going forward with similarly condensing the synopsis for each previous episode. Comments? Suggestions?

Cancelled

Is this show cancelled yet?

Why isn't this show cancelled yet?!

• To make you mad, I guess!

at one edible joke per show, it's even worse than Perfect Hair Forever I hope it gets cancelled twice ! 216.113.96.109 04:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Tim and Eric! Awesome show! Great job.

The show isn't going to be cancelled. The only reason that its on the air in the first place is because so many of the right sort of people will hate it. Rather than a show, think of it as a political/moral statement by a group of people who can't do any better than what you see. A long time ago at the peak of the disco era, people used to defend the village people because no matter how bad they were, what they were doing was supposed to be subversive and edgy. The people at Adult Swim don't get that people don't hate the show for the reaosns they think people hate the show, they hate the show because its bad. 63.3.5.130 23:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Nah. Nothing is liked by everybody. Why do you even care? Now, Tom Goes to the Mayor, sure, that was bad.. MGlosenger 00:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

"Tom" was a bad show, but this is worse. Its actually all the worst parts of "Tom" in concentrated form. If they want people not to care, bury it in the back of the schedule like "Tom" was and stop wasting so much promotional time on it. 63.3.5.129 05:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

The situation is in fact the exact opposite. Tim and Eric and crew have taken all the best parts of Tom and removed all the tiresome parts. Politics is for simpletons. MGlosenger 05:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

If "Uncle Muscles Hour" was an actual hour-long show, I think I'd watch that, too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.165.218.116 (talk) 05:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC).

Hate this show so much. My "friend" said I should check it out because it was "hilarious." I used YouTube. I watched about four episodes, hoping to God it would get better. Nothing. I pray every night that this show is cancelled and that Tim and Eric are fed to rabid wolves. 71.122.250.69 18:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I pray that you will be struck in the cranium by a meteor, killing you instantly. MGlosenger 01:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. That is a heartwarming sentiment.

You all need to go back to watching Robot Chicken, "comedy" at a simplistic level you can understand.

Don't even TRY to say that Tim and Eric is "high-level" comedy, that should be enjoyed with some chardonnay and caviar. It is what it is - random, inane, and silly. It may not be my cup of tea, but don't insult our intelligence and say that we don't "get" it. IMHO, there's only one show that got random, silly, and inane right - Ren and Stimpy. Maybe I would have liked T&E if I hadn't see Ren and Stimpy, but I think John K's show set the bar too high. AC 70.21.167.211 04:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I don’t like Robot Chicken, I really like this show though, so do a handful of my friends (because we do the Photoshop and After effects for fun), that’s just how it is, I don't sign comments

I liked the first 3 eps, then the 4th ep totally disappointed me, and the 5th wasn't much better. But by the 6th, they seemed to be back on track. I'll have to wait and see, tho. At least its not as awful as Assy McGhee or Saul of the Molemen-66.228.229.244 16:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Jeez. It's an 11 minute block on Adult Swim. Adult Swim has like a 2 hour block dedicated to anime. Anime. Lol. Just let it be.

I watched this show, and found myself laughing for some reason. Absurdist humour is sometimes the best humour. Great Job! -Yancyfry 02:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I like a really wide range of comedy, but this show makes me think I need to be smoking something or be really drunk to enjoy it. Tom goes to the mayor was slightly funnier just because the completely ridiculous jokes at some context, even though it as still awful. Randomness is only funny if something not random is included so you can tell the difference. Complete randomness like this show is roughly equivalent to watching static.--66.102.196.40 (talk) 22:27, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

But mine is so much neater looking. MGlosenger 23:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Move for Lock

As it appears many people dislike this show, I would consider a lock to deter vandalism. CharlieP216 18:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Locking a page shouldn't be a proactive move. Wait and see. If there is vandalism, it can always be locked then, but until then, leave it open. (I'm the guy who yearns for rabid wolves, but I'm not planning on vandalizing this page.) 71.122.250.69 03:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Episode synopses

I'm just going by what's in the episodes. Nowhere in 'Salame' does anyone say the old women are potential wives, nor in the actual episode 'Chunky' does anyone say the musicians are German.

And are you sure that that's actually Tim/Eric's MySpace page and not just someone pretending to be them? MGlosenger 00:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Anniversary show?

there is a note added in this show's description that says the episode is "notoriously unfunny". Is that not replete with POV? Can that statement be stricken from the description of the Anniversary episode? I mean, I personally found the episode hilarious, and surely others did not, but that is not what a Wikipedia page is for. --Frenk Melk 06:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I've already removed it, but yeah, if you see things like that, remove them. Similarly if someone put "this show is widely considered the best ever", you would remove that.. unless of course the contributor provides some sort of meaningful citation either way. MGlosenger 13:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Monty Python comparison

Okay, I just read both the cited references, and nobody compares Awesome Show to Python . . . except Tim Heidecker himself, tangentially, in the SuicideGirls interview. --63.25.5.141 23:25, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The cited article does not mention Monty Python. Also, if the section is called public reaction it should also include some of the negative reactions from not only those who don't like the show but also from those who question why it is on Cartoon Network. Jccalhoun 03:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Again, I agree. The actual article it links to says nothing in favor of the show, let alone something along the lines of Python. I'm changing it. LikuX 10:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I removed "with some drawing comparisons between it and Monty Python", because the article that was cited for this statment specificly says this: "I'm not making a direct comparison between Monty Python and Awesome Show, but I am saying there's a difference between comedy that works because it's been done before countless times, and comedy that really dares to be different." Chaztheweird 03:31, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I have a contribution

how do i upload the image though. the image is for missing

Public Response section?

thumb|right|100px|Seconded. Do we really need the 'Public Response' section? It's obvious that some people are going to like something and some people are going to dislike it.

I will shortly remove said section unless there is a huge uproar against it.

MGlosenger 13:39, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

It would be nice to see a critical response, assuming of course any real critics have done a review of the show.--204.76.128.217 09:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Ummm, as per my picture. --293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 10:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Redirected from 'Tim & Eric' or 'Tim and Eric'

'Tim & Eric' redirects straight to here, perhaps there should be a page about Tim & Eric; they gained recongnition long before "Awesome Show' and an article about the artists themselves (including timanderic.com and appearances) would be approriate, if not a disambiguation page with a 'red' link to 'Tim & Eric'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.190.202.20 (talk) 04:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Abso-lutely

"This signoff for projects from Absolutely Productions stems from the answer given by the senior Heidecker when he visited the production facilty at the end of season one of TGTTM and was asked if he enjoyed a recent vacation."

How can this be possible when the date on the clip clearly says 1991?!?Thesetrixaintforkids (talk) 02:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

OK PEOPLE Im ASKING this question because the article obviously needs to be changed if the stated "fact" is simply logically untrue. If no one else does it, then I will. I dont give a damn that the source is from DVD commentary, it totally contradicts the date on the tape.Thesetrixaintforkids (talk) 20:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Thesetrixaintforkids, go ahead and change it. That's the nature of Tim & Eric's humor. Your logic is sound. I recommend leaving as much of it in as possible, with your correction appended. Just for thoroughness. Sisyphe42 (talk) 03:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Robin Williams

Did he play himself or was someone else playing him?Hoponpop69 (talk) 18:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Tim and Eric say in an interview (the page links to it, I think) that it's an impersonator. --LoganTheGeshrat 19:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
