I respect them more than most comedians in that they stick to what their "message" and don't stray into current events in any way. I get what I expect with them. It's just nice to see something mocking all TV and movies equally.
>>
>>69663861
Kaufman kept it straight laced to the point where it kept the illusion going. Him reading to his audience is still one of the funniest things a comedian has done to me, just because how he never breaks form.

Tim and Eric don't commit enough to make it work. The ideas are too absurd, yet the delivery and the actual jokes are too dull. It's attempting the same joke in multiple sketches with no alteration, and it's dull.

You really can't answer this question for yourself? Okay, I'll bite. Back then it was fresh. Now this style has been run into the ground to the point where it's stale. Still, this isn't the "ha ha" kind of humor to begin with. The live audience is there to laugh, so that's what they did. The audience does sound rather vapid, laughing like people kneel or stand in church, almost zombie-like, but I can appreciate the material as viable performance art.

I think they're brilliant but their work is a clear example of an acquired taste.

Some people can roll with the madness and others are turned off by the manic nature of things. Understandable really and I don't begrudge anyone that hates it because in many ways its very abrasive.

The disappointing thing about TAEBDM was that it wasn't based on the Adult Swim show that most of their fans are familiar with. I kind of hate Tim and Eric, but really enjoyed Awesome Show for some reason.

The movie had NONE of the material from the show. It was barely even like it, which was a shame. The only thing I really remember from the film was Dobis PR which was pretty funny. Other than that, severely forgettable. However, I'll probably be saying "SPAGHETT!," "For your Health" and "Salame" for years to come.

Tim and Eric humor pretty much sums up everything I hate about the generations that came after mine.

Except celery man. Which was hilarious and I'm willing to bet those idiots had nothing to do with it aside from have it on their show.
>>
>>69663470
Here we go, another T&E/Eric Andre type hate thread. You don't get the humor or just don't like it. Congratulations, you've formed your own opinion. They are popular because they're great at what they do. Their show is an excellent parody of public access television. Look at all the big name comedians and actors they have on the show. Dr. Steve Brule, for fucks sake. If professional comedians think it's funny, then it's probably funny. I didn't like them at first, but they're great of you give them a chance. Take note of all the little details in each episode. Posters in the background, the makeup, the dedication to whatever character they are playing; they put in the work and it shows. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not good.

Damn. Just found this on Google.

I will agree that BDM is not their best work, probably a 6/10. A few great gags but a lot of filler. Spaghett, for your health, and salame, while great are pretty entry level T+E

almost everything truly great takes time to appreciate, ask any wine or music or movie afficionado. Just watch them more and you will understand why it's literally leagues above all other comedy.

I appreciate what they try to do, but the whole parody of public access shtick doesn't work for me. It misses the whole point of what makes public access and amateur work funny. It's how genuine and earnest the amateurs are that makes it good. What T&E do just feels empty in comparison.

ive plenty of sketches by them that were hilarious to me, off the top of my head the free real estate gets me giggling

but other times i dont laugh

i appreciate that there doesnt seem to be another comedy act like them, however. perhaps the idea of doing quirky weird uncomfortable shit isnt unique but their execution is unique enough for me to at least find their stuff interesting if i didnt laugh

not anywhere near as subtle, or talented. I've seen less than 20 minutes, so if someone can point be to some good clips I'll watch. But it was literally just super try-hard tim and eric. Like they always try to shoe horn some vague message or faux-deep observation in their videos but it just comes across as teenage edginess.

With Tim and Eric is almost entirely absurdity, no faux-intellectualism.

The only kind of meaning of Tim and Eric style stuff is that everything is terrible and so the only way to continue living once you realize that is to learn to enjoy the horrible qualities of everything.

On Cinema I think is Tim's best work. It's crazy how small it started and how huge and ambitious it's become. They built this huge world full of rich and interesting characters in the most unexpected way. The fact that Gregg's entire online presence and most of Tim's is kayfabe to their silly online review show is so much fun for me as a fan. Tim plays such a perfect villain. And him throwing all the abuse week in and week out at a guy that's at a guy like Gregg is perfect. It's the perfect dynamic. Their personas play off eachother beautifully.

I really love Awesome Show, Tom Goes to Mayor and so on, but On Cinema is just so much more consistent and so much more rewarding to the viewer. I think the fact that it's a web show causes a lot of people to just write it off as some unimportant side project when really I feel like it's something way more ambitious than anybody of the fans possibly could have imagined it would be.
>>
>>69671867
The make-up work is amazing in awesome show. For instance the way they do Tim's eyebrows up for the Universe bits really complete the feel for what they are parodying. I can't explain it properly it's just that when you look at his eyebrows you know that they fit perfectly in this setting. The show is rich with subtle make-up stuff like that on its characters that just really complete the picture of what they are trying to parody. Once you first notice it, you'll always be looking for it in skits and appreciating it.
