History YMMV / TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob

** The show is really fond of closeup shots of mouths overstuffed with food, complete with squishing noises. The show adores employing disgusting slurping, squelching and crunching noises anywhere and ''everywhere'' it can.

** The Paul Rudd skit ''Celery Man'' not only predicted AI programming, but also that it'd be primarily used for dumb pointless forms of entertainment, rather than anything meaningful.

*** Outside of that, when the clips reappeared on Website/TikTok in 2023, [[PoesLaw there were panicked and horrified comments asking if it was real]].

* NauseaFuel: OnceAnEpisode, without exaggeration. For instance, the final sketch of the whole show involves multiple dying from drinking ''unpasteurized male breastmilk.''

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The term “Pep-Pep” is a real term used in Pennsylvania where Tim and Eric are from.

** Steve Brule, anyone?
** Casey seems to have a smaller fandom.

* HilariousInHindsight: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80yjtJFf-v0 "The business world is changing at an alarming rate."]] Ray Wise, who stars in the "Business Hug" skits, would end up knowing first hand -- by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVFTdBvYdU playing a Dow Chemical executive]] on Series/MadMen some years later.
** The Paul Rudd skit many just call "Celery Man" not only predicted AI programming, but also that we'd primarily use it for dumb pointless forms of entertainment rather than anything meaningful.
%%* HoYay

** Sports!
** Now think about your dad. What's your dad like? I wanna meet that dad.

** The entire ''Universe'' sketch.
** For your health.
* MisaimedFandom: Adherents of the "Qanon" conspiracy theory are convinced that the Child Clown Outlet skits are [[InsaneTrollLogic legit evidence of a pedophile conspiracy.]]
* NauseaFuel: Far, far too many examples to count. Probably enough for it's own page.
** But one scene in the show that stands out in it's way would be the "baby picture fight" scene.
* OnceOriginalNowCommon: As with Creator/MontyPython, the show's style was shocking and unusual to see on national television at first but its [[StylisticSuck deliberate amateurishness]], '80s and '90s {{Retraux}} production design, and AntiHumor started to become copied in TheNewTens, especially online.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Intentional of course.
* {{Squick}}: Damn near everything.
** In the final episode, Tim and Eric grow horrifyingly swollen nipples that lactate yellow "man milk". It's truly terrifying to behold.
** The show is really fond of closeup shots of mouths overstuffed with food, complete with squishing noises.
*** Tim and Eric LOVE employing disgusting slurping, squelching and crunching noises anywhere and ''everywhere'' they can.
** The end result of "helmet touch" in the "Sports!" number involves severe brain damage.
** The "Boogs" Kid Break has Tim eating his own boogers because his father can't afford food. It's by far the most disgusting thing they've done on the show, and that's saying something. Tim's "only meal of the day" is ''crunchy''.

* VindicatedByHistory: If you checked multiple [adult swim] forums in the late 00's and the early 10's, [[VocalMinority you'd think that it was the most hated show on the channel]], and using it as proof NetworkDecay and the show being AdoredByTheNetwork (which still does air often in repeats today). Years later, it is now considered a CultClassic, especially with its MemeticMutation (though arguably crossing over with OnceOriginalNowCommon). It helps that the show helped paved the way for overall favorite, ''Series/TheEricAndreShow''. [[OldGuardVersusNewBlood That being said, the show does help gauge the age difference between audiences]], with Millenials and Gen Z being the biggest fanbases of ''Tim and Eric'', while older fans of [adult swim] being more divisive.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent?: Tim And Eric particularly like hiring actors with strong accents for no particular reason, which just adds to the bizarre effect. They have particular appreciation for Scandinavian and Hispanic actors. In the sketch The Best Of Pusswhip Banggang, this trope is combined with OohMeAccentsSlipping, as the accent used changes for each song introduced.
* TheWoobie: The abuse Will Grello suffered from his father as a child is truly horrific, including being made to cook his own dog.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: As with Creator/MontyPython, the show's style was shocking and unusual to see on national television at first but its [[StylisticSuck deliberate amateurishness]], '80s and '90s {{Retraux}} production design, and AntiHumor started to become copied in TheNewTens, especially online.

* HoYay

* WidgetSeries: This show actually aired on national television.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Tim & Eric have stated that even though they both smoke pot, no drugs are involved in the writing or performance, but that they can certainly make viewing more enjoyable. One sketch (of them being interviewed by Michael Ian Black) parodies the idea that drugs must be involved.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The series finale ends with Richard Dunn (and a number of other recurring characters) dying from drinking unpasteurized man milk, which quickly became a little awkward when Richard Dunn died in real life a month after the episode premiered.

* UncannyValley: [[ShowWithinAShow ''Child Showcase'']], where little boys with the heads of Creator/PattonOswalt and Creator/RainnWilson sing dirty songs. The adult heads aren't proportional to the child bodies, and the [[StylisticSuck grainy video]] disguises the digital effects, making it look more real than it should, making the effect even more unnerving.
** Grum.
