Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! - Season 1

The scene cues and we are introduced into the blank stare of an awkward and uncomfortable looking doctor. His ill prepared segment on fruit cannot start because, as the doctor tries to subtly inform his colleagues, he does not 'have the fruit'. After several clumsy attempts by the camera operator to break the awkwardness of the situation, we catch the backside of a quickly moving production assistant dropping a bag of freshly purchased supermarket fruit in front of Mr. Brule. It works.Almost if by force of habit we expect a punch line at this point. It doesn't come. Our minds reel as the plot is pulled from beneath our taught fingers. No climax, no story development, no comfort lead in music. Shortly thereafter you realize you are only invited to participate in the haphazard denouement of this story - you are riding the thing down into the glorious and hilarious catastrophe that it was meant to be.As we let the show aspirate, we can detect notes of dark comedy and satire on commonplace social norms. The sketches are often full bodied and rely on tongue-in-cheek jabs at poorly executed social posturing (Strategies in Leadership, Carol and her Boss) or the miserable failings of those with little savvy (Casey and his Brother, Shopping Indoors). This show is a big cab with strong hints of spite. Good to enjoy now or a few years down the road. Although much like a good bottle of Monty Python, Tim and Eric will only get better with age. If neither suit your taste, I'm sure a bottle of Who's the Boss Zinfandel would suffice.There's more than meets the eye with this show, if you know where to look. Chances are, if you don't, Tim and Eric are probably making fun of you.

Awesome show, great job!For real though, I love Tim and Eric. I originally found them on Adult Swim when I was a kid, and they did not dissapoint when I found them again as an adult.

I'm a huge fan of Tim & Eric, and have seen all the episodes on TV, (as well as on Super Deluxe) so I bought this DVD mainly to see the extras, and they did not disappoint. The menus keep up the "public access" theme, and there were quite a lot of extras. The commentary features a different actor or crew member, along with Tim and Eric, during each episode. The outtakes, deleted scenes, and "making of" were hysterical, letting you see how much work goes into making it look so cheap and awkward! They talked about many of the running jokes during the season, what they intended and if it worked or not, and generally gave a great look into the mind of the show, and it was many times as funny as the episodes themselves. They included footage from Awesomecon as well, and overall you see how much they care about their fans, which is awesome. Great Job!

Tim and Eric strike the perfect balance between utter confusion and uproarious hilarity in what could be the perfect footnote to those who can't let go of Mr. Show. The episodes are prime for repeated viewings, as watching an ep just once makes it almost impossible to digest every nuance of this intricate laugh fest. I laughed so hard my shirt ripped in half!!! I am fat, so when I laugh, my clothes generally fall apart (I don't even want to tell you what happened to my pants after the Season Finale of Last Comic Standing). These guys are great idiots who pander to those who shop at big and tall stores for ankle braclets! BUY THIS DVD!

I was the first review for The Simpsons "Songs in the Key of Springfield" and, by Sweden, I'll be the first here.I've pre-ordered this. I've seen all the episodes on the Television (in color!). And I don't care if others find this useless. Indeed they should. Useful reviews of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job seem contradictory to the spirit of championing the mediocre and random liquids spewing forth gratuitously; angst; food! shopping! wait...I want to live in T&E's world.Now I shall curl up in a fetal position under the sink and sob.

I my shooooooooow! This is one of those shows where you either get it or you don't. If you like the show, the DVD is worth it. There are quite a few bonus features and commentary on every episode, which provides some great laughs. Tim and Eric are the commentary is a great way to learn about how the show is produced.For first time watchers, I will say it took me a few episodes before I really got an idea of what was going on. I highly recommend checking out their website or some Youtube clips to see if it's up your alley. Not for everyone, but awesome anyways!I love my shooooooooow!

Awesome show! Totally hilarious!

if you don't like strange the may not be for you

Hilarious!

One of the greatest comedy modern show I've ever seen. It will be appreciate and praised only by inteligent folks.

This show is really really out there. If you like shows such as Mr. Show or Wonder Showzen, you'll definitely like this. If you've never heard of any of these shows, I don't know what to tell you. Well, I do know what to tell you, rent before you buy, because you might not "get it". Personally, I love this sort of crazy humour, so i would highly recommend it to people like me! lol... useless review? you betcha.

I bought this as a gift knowing the kind of comedy that was on this disc; not my usual taste. However, when I got the opportunity to watch it, I found myself laughing along at how dumb it was. It might take a little warming up to, but if you like Brule's Rules, or any comedy of that nature, this is an excellent buy when on sale. I got it for just under $10, but I don't think I would pay full price for it.

This is the most random skit-comedy you'll ever see. And it's SO GOOD!
