The audience nearly peed themselves. I was rubbing my jaw by the end of the night because I laughed so much. The Dr. Steve Brule episodes were amazing too but a very different beast than Tim & Eric.

But I just do not like Tim and Eric. It's sad that FX's Archer is a much better Adult Swim cartoon than anything Adult Swim has put on in a long time. Oh, and IMHO Andy Kaufman was not funny. Not funny at all. I don't know what people in the 70s were on that they thought he was but I wish I could get some. I still wouldn't watch him, or Tim and Eric, though.

There's very little point in saying you don't like it, other than to act superior and poo in someone else's cornflakes. It's not like you're going to convince someone that you're right. "Oh, I guess you have a point, I didn't actually laugh!" I hate Larry the Cable Guy with the burning fire of 10,000 suns, but I'm not going to tell the people who love him that he sucks. They love him, I don't, that's okay. Fortunately, I don't have to watch him. Humor is radically subjective.

This show and others by them, though, I hate with an active passion I cannot fully describe. These two individuals singlehandedly coopted Adult Swim with humorless, lolrandom (but very cheap) crap on the basis of volume alone. They're the comedy equivalent of outsourcing to the <i>discount</i> Indian call center. There are very few shows I truly dislike.

I will take that opinion to the grave. They are so funny PRECISELY BECAUSE they're hated by some with an honest passion. That, to me, is great territory. Andy Kaufman-style territory. Also, you could compare Tim and Eric to the Viennese Actionists or the artist Paul McCarthy, except T&E are much, much better. Tim and Eric are hilarious! I will take that opinion to the grave.

Your entire reasoning is invalid by me saying one simple phrase : I like tim and eric. So how about you quit wasting your time trying to convert, and go watch something with a strong plotline and jokes that only follow the story being portrayed. gtfo my tim and eric Beelzebuddy… do you think because of your long over-analyzed and opinionated post that you could somehow persuade anyone who likes tim and eric to stop following them?

It has been barely worth watching since 2003. Tim and Eric is the only interesting thing in that late-night cesspool. I’m amazed that it was possible to make Adult Swim worse.

Here's the deal with Tim and Eric. Either you get it, or you don't. If you don't, that's fine, just don't go crapping all over it for your own self satisfaction. LONG LIVE SHRIMP AND WHITE WINE.
