—Tim And Eric themselves, in the matter of their show.
Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! (2007-2010) was a 15-minute long [adult swim] original centered around comedians and video artists Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, the creators of the absurdist cartoon Tom Goes To The Mayor. Known for often skirting the border between comedy and gratuitous absurdity (or worse), and also for recruiting extremely obscure, untalented, and non-telegenic performers as recurring cast members, such as James Quall, David Liebe Hart, and the late Richard Dunn, and sticking them alongside frequent cameos from well-known comedy actors. All of this comes together as what low-budget local public-access television from The Eighties and Nineties would look like if it was made by stoners.As of 2010, the show's run has ended, replaced by the Spin-Off, Check It Out With Dr Steve Brule.
Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! provides examples of:
Actor Allusion: During his acting seminars, Tairy Greene (played by Zach Galiafanakis) stands between two ferns.
Cloudcuckoolander: Robin Williams, in his (simulated) appearance, makes no sense and pisses off the hosts, who kick him out of their flat. He walks away, muttering "asshole..."
Jan and Wayne's marriage slowly falls apart as the series goes along due to Jan's implied affair with Steve Brule.
Steve himself is an extremely awkward manchild.
Casey is obviously a parody of severely mentally challenged kids who have amazing talents.
Tim and Eric themselves. Tim is starved for attention and even his own parents favor Eric over him, and Tim pushes Eric down the stairs in the 50 anniversary reunion episode. By the Chrimbus Special, it's apparent that Tim's hate for his partner and self-esteem issues are festering and festering hard.
Distant Finale: They did this one prematurely, with a fake 50th anniversary episode.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The Tairy Greene Machine, which contains every work Tairy has ever done, collaborated on or been vaguely associated with.
Eye Scream: In "Crows", Tim and Eric get their eyes pecked out by crows.
Flanderization: Casey seems to grow more sickly and physically repulsive as the series progresses, compare his first appearance, where he's somewhat composed and only devolves into sputtering and gagging when the song begins to skip, and one of his later appearances, where he's visibly sweating and rash ridden and far more prone to aggressive outbursts of sneezing, violent gagging, and occasionally vomiting.
Hey, It's That Guy!: See Special Guest, below. Their ability to get big names to do their show is really impressive
In a minor case: David Liebe Hart, formerly the host of public access Cult Classic "The Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson Program," on which Tim and Eric even guest-starred.
Perverse Puppet: David Liebe Hart's puppets aren't directly malevolent, but they're definitely only there to be creepy. There was also an episode in which the doll version of Tim turned evil.
Snap Back: Tim has died at least five times. In "Resurrection", David Liebe Hart even comments about how death is not a big deal for Tim. However, things don't always snap back at the end of an episode. Casey remained dead until being reanimated by his brother, but Steve Mahanahan, who died in the same explosion, came back to life with no explanation.
Too Much Information: Many, many skits derive their humor from this, particularly anytime when Will Grello (played by Will Forte) reveals disturbed events from his childhood.
Toilet Humor: A pair of pants that allow the wearer to avoid the bother of using the toilet. Another sketch had an invention that allowed the male user to poop using a urinal while standing the entire time. Yet another product was an adapter to use a urinal to take a shower.
Tim and Eric have stated their intention to have every season opener feature a diarrhea related Cinco product.
