2Beef House series created by Creator/TimAndEric. It follows the lives of [[TheDanza Eric]], an unemployed suburban man, his wife Detective Megan (Played by Creator/JamieLynnSigler), and the "Beef Boys" Ron, Tennessee Luke, and Ben-Hur (Played by Ron Austar, Tennessee Winston Luke, and Ben-Hur, [[TheDanza obviously]].), and Eric's best friend [[TheDanza Tim]], all of whom live in the Beef House.

4Of course, despite being an AffectionateParody of 80's and 90's family sitcoms, it wouldn't be Tim and Eric without their usual absurdity. The series airs on Creator/AdultSwim, and is Tim and Eric's fifth series for the network (after WesternAnimation/TomGoesToTheMayor, Series/TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob, Series/CheckItOutWithDrSteveBrule, and Series/TimAndEricsBedtimeStories.).

7!!Tropes associated with Beef House include:
8
9* AffectionateParody: of 80's-90's family sitcoms, with the Tim and Eric [[QuirkyWork twist]].
10* AwfulWeddedLife: Megan holds Eric in complete disdain and disgust, to say nothing of how little she cares for the other beef boys. She was ready to leave him for Brad at the drop of a hat in Episode 1, and it's unclear why she got married to him in the first place.
11* BlackComedyRape: The Boys' plan for luring the beaver out of the walls of the house? Getting it to mate with Ben Hur, who is dressed in a beaver costume.
12* {{Main/Cloudcuckoolander}}: All of the Beef Boys to some degree, but especially Ben Hur.
13* EnfantTerrible: Boro.
14* {{Gorn}}: PlayedForLaughs. One episode has Eric break his leg after falling asleep while driving a bus (which killed all the passengers inside). Later on when Tim tries to snap it back together, Eric's leg bone pops out in gory fashion.
15* GrossoutShow
16* {{Main/Jerkass}}: Tim, though the other Beef Boys aren't much better.
17* LaughTrack: Used to capture the feel of a sitcom.
18* {{Main/Manchild}}: The Beef Boys to a T.
19* PottyEmergency: See below. Episode 2 revolves around preventing Tim from ruining his hot tub date by soiling himself, though not in the way you'd expect.
20* StylisticSuck: Tim is recording an album in his room, inspired by "Robby Zombie". What we hear of it is pretty awful.
21* ToiletHumor: Quite a few instances, as expected with a Tim and Eric project. Since there's less SurrealHumor this time around, the grossout elements have been turned up. See {{Main/Squick}} for one good instance.
