Well the DVD for this show comes out tuesday, so I thought I'd post about it.

Personally I love the show, but I get the impression a lot of people hate it. It is very dry humor, and while most people don't like it because of that, a lot of people don't like it because it tries to be funny by being serious. I know it's not extremely intelligent humor, but it's refreshing to me. It's on Adult Swim right now, I think on sunday nights, and they also have a live internet show, Tim & Eric Nite Live, and they also did Tom Goes to the Mayor, which was much more successful, in fact.
One of my favorite skits is Spaghet, a very ugly guy who does a poor job sneaking up on people and scaring them. Unfortunately no one is "spooked" as he calls it, but responds as though he was successful.

So what do you think of them? I want to know whether I'm allowed to speak of them here (surprise me).

Tom goes to the Mayor is one of my favourite shows on TV. I used to watch it pretty religiously when I would sit up til 4am to catch Adult Swim and eat Pizza and drink by myself. I haven't seen so much of Tim and Eric but I enjoyed quite a lot of what I did see. (I was also pretty grossed out by some of it.)

Anyway you make it sound like not many people like Tim and Eric, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had a bit of a cult following. They are pretty funny guys.

I credit Tim and Eric alone for John C Reilly's rise back to fame.


But yea, I am honestly surprised by even a few people here that like them, I honestly do not know ANYONE who enjoys it in real life. SO yea I do the lonely pizza/beer thing at 4 am too.

Thank god because I really thought I was the only guy sad enough to sit up, alone, drunk, watching cartoons at 4am.

But YES, while we are on the subject of Adult Swim, I am looking forward to the UK showing Season 2 of Frisky Dingo... Come on!

Anyone else buy the season 1 dvd?

I have to say, I'm let down. It's not anywhere near as good as Tom Goes to the Mayor. Plus all my favorite episodes were the first ones in Season 2, so there's not really much I thought was AMAZING on season 1. Oh well.

OH yea, triple surprise > quadruple surprise

tim and eric is so ridiculously funny. unfortunately, nobody else around me seems to really get it.

i think what really adds to the awesomeness of tim and eric is that theyve had ALL my favorite actors/comedians on their show (wom goes to the mayor included). patton oswalt, jack black and kyle gass (tenacious d. really. they fucking wrote TRIBUTE), daving fucking CROSS, brian posehn, miachael ian black... bob odenkurk (sp?),  jeff goldbloom (the physical embodiment of pure mystique).. does it get any better?! SARAH SILVERMAN. FRED SHINING-FUCKING-GOD WILLARD. tom goes to the mayor was a chronicle of fucking epic proportions.
