History Series / TheEricAndreShow

-->'''Eric:''' I want to have sex with your wife.

* MistakenForSpecialGuest: While fooling around at the RNC 2016 event, Creator/AlexJones mistakes Eric for [[Series/TheDailyShowWithTrevorNoah Trevor Noah]] and invites him on-stage at his rally, with Eric saying his usual stuff.

* CloudCuckooland: The set of the show itself.Starting in Season 2, WordOfGod credits a dream sequence in TwinPeaks for the set. Lampshaded by Questlove:

* FanDisservice: Lots of penises get whipped out on this show and not just Eric Andre's.

** Music/{{TI}} walked off after seeing a random crewmember with no underwear on come stage right just as he was about to suggest something to Eric.

* TrashTheSet: At the beginning of every episode, Eric is seen rushing in and breaking everything (while also doing... other things). The set is always rebuilt within literally seconds.

* CloudCuckoolander: Eric, Hannibal, and Russell Brand in spades. Some of the guests can act this way as well.

-->'''Questlove''': "...What is this place?"

Well, "talk show" is a loose way of saying it. Eric will almost always go off on unrelated tangents during the interview or doesn't pay attention at all, while random and absurd things happen, either done by Hannibal, members of the crew or band, objects, or animals that suddenly pop onto the stage. The set is specifically designed to keep the guests not exactly relaxed; for example, beforehand they'd put a heater in the guest's sofa, or during the show, water is sprayed all over the guest. And not to mention, 90% of the time, the guests are totally unaware of what exactly they're supposed to expect during the whole taping.

A talk show that airs on Creator/AdultSwim, written and hosted by actor, comedian and all-around {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Eric Andre, with fellow comedian Hannibal Buress as co-host.

The authenticity of the guests varies: Most of the time it really is them. Other times, someone who hardly resembles the guest appears. Oh yeah, and he has a habit of wrecking the set every episode (then it gets magically fixed). In between segments are sketches of him doing street pranks mostly in New York City.

The authenticity of the guests varies: Sometimes they're who Eric says they are. Other times, not even close.

** That poor, ''poor'' drummer

* StraightMan: Hannibal

* CombatPragmatist: Hannibal. Whereas Eric destroys the set by turning himself into a human wrecking-ball, Hannibal has a simpler solution: '''MoreDaka'''.

* OverlyLongGag: Hannibal explaining to Harry Shum, Jr. what he'd want his Fatality to be if he were a ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' character. It's basically Hannibal standing still and pantomiming himself throwing apples while Harry looks on confusedly.

** ChrisRock appears briefly during the Season 3 finale as the director of the "Bird Up" segments.

* CallBack: Early in Season 2 there was an extremely uncomfortable interview with Eric Balfour from ''Series/{{Haven}}'' where Eric asked if he'd ever slept with any "Oriental background actresses". A few episodes later, he mentions meeting up with some Oriental background actresses during one of the "Ranch It Up" segments.

* BlatantLies: Some of the guests who aren't who Eric says they are. But he treats them as if they were the real deal anyway.

** The street segments in Season 2 take this UpToEleven

* DudeNotFunny: In-Universe: Hannibal is constantly calling Eric out on this

* MindScrew: Constantly and PlayedForLaughs. Some segments seem particularly [[DavidLynch Lynchian]], such as "Savion Glover", who just ran around screaming with a rotisserie chicken taped around his head and over his face while wearing a wig and breaking things, and....Tap dancing?

** A RunningGag in the street segments of season 1 was Eric streaking. [[InvetedTrope Inverted]] in one episode, where he crashes a ''nudist colony'' wearing a tuxedo, shouting "[[RefugeInAudacity We're going reverse streaking!]]"

* PracticalJoke: Eric does a lot of absurd, creative pranks on the city streets....like running from a pack of guys dressed up just like him. He longs for people to stop and stare, confounded at human bizarreness.

* StraightMan: Hannibal

* TrashTheSet: At the beginning of every episode, Eric is seen rushing in and breaking everything (while also doing...other things). The set is always rebuilt within literally seconds.
