Check It Out! with Dr Steve Brule

HOW R U  STILL ON.........

Adult Swim does the opposite of what you would want because your opinions are awful and you should feel awful.

[cam_zombie]

ah

I REALLY hate to agree here, but I've been wondering that too.  They completely changed the whole character.  He's supposed to be a goofy, whacky guy who sometimes stutters over his speech while he tries to figure out how to explain what's going through his head..  Instead, he's semi-mentally retarded and has slurred speech.

He's supposed to be awkward-not mentally challenged.  The "Tim and Eric" Brule had me rolling every single time.  The "Check It Out" Brule has me digging to find something funny.

Remember the #1 rule of comedy-it's all about the presentation.  There are good jokes and gags on Check It Out-but they're just not presented well.

I would like to make a deal with comedy central: Give us "Futurama" back and we'll give you two shows in return -> "Tim & Eric" and "Check it out!"

Seriously, [as] has to be losing money on these shows. I even change the channel before turning off the TV just in case they get ratings while my TV is off.

I admit, some "people" watch this crap. I'm not saying get rid of it, I'm saying move it to a different network. And yes, I have tried to watch this show. I was disgusted more than watching two girls and one cup......

Someone start a petition......

Youre being a dingus

[MrVashMan]

You dringuses just need to shrut up and open your minds. Prancakes.

[totaljayman]

I'd rather "open" my mind with a bullet than watch this crap

[lukeg]

I respectfully disagree. Only thing on the channel I find funny, everything else fails tremendously.

[totaljayman]

Are u kidding me?! Everything else?!?

You sir, have no taste

[NGFritch]

The doctor is rotten to the core!

[dkzero23]

You sir, are an insulting, pompous **alf** who is so stupid you think "they" can somehow magically get ratings while your TV is turned off.   Go troll elsewhere, asshat.

If you watch the "Tim & Eric: Awesome Show, Great Job!" episodes from the beginning of season one to the end of the last season, you will notice the change that occurs. As the seasons go on, Steve Brule becomes more like he acts in "Check It Out!" This is because of the way John C. Riley has worked his way into the characted mentally. In an interview with Tim and Eric, Eric Wareheim even said himself that John C. Riley actually gets very into his character and zones out in a way where he will improvise a lot of the stuff in "Check It Out!" I believe that this is the reason the character is different from what you saw on the Awesome Show. He seems to get more comfortable with the character every time he acts as him.

I find "Check It Out!" to be pretty funny, but at the same time, I knew from the beginning that the show wouldn't be lasting long. They really were bound to run out of things to do with it. I've always loved the Awesome Show, and I think it leaves them plenty of breathing room for random skits and ideas, which they don't always get with Steve Brule. Regardless, Steve Brule is an excellent character, and Heidecker and Wareheim are geniuses, even though a lot of people fail to see the sense of humor involved. I didn't at the beginning, but after a while I started to love it, and now I can't get enough. What ever they decide to do is going to be fine with me, and I'll watch anything they direct or are involved in because it's always great.

Also, look at the Married News segments from Tom Goes To The Mayor, and then look at the ones from Tim & Eric: Awesome Show, Great Job!

Characters change over time, and as the person playing the role gets more immersed in the character, they become more of what they should be.

You guys are complete pruppets. This is the BEST thing on TV. Maybe above your head!

[Rotty]

I was really excited for this show but I agree with the posters above that steve brule is really a different character than he was when he first showed up in awesome show.  I'd say the show has just stretched out those short funny segments. I prefer the short funny ones over the longer half boring and unfunny show. I think the best part about steve was how he interacted with jan from the married news team. Now he's just kinda on his own and it's not as good.

I love this show -  Dr. Steve Brule > Childrens Hospital, Frankenhole, and other assorted gravy blarts that are circulating in the lineup now.

[Imyomomma]

Why are here then??? turkey

[totaljayman]

get over yourself, I was making a point ya douche rocket. I go where I want.

[totaljayman]

Turkey? Didn't using "turkey" in that way die out in the 60s? Unless.... Awwwwww thats so cute, did you just learn how to use the interwebs old fella? I notice that grammar doesn't apply to you either

And to answer your question: I want here now

[Uppercrust]

I like how you replied to a comment that was made two years ago.

[Slom0ph0be]

I disagree, not as an avid T&E fan, but I just genuinely think this show is insanely humorous. I always found Brule to b kind of an escape character from Awesome Show, like he was the comfort aspect of it, people could relax and laugh at John C. Reily being an idiot, warming them up to the show. This takes it into that creepy, polarizing place, even better for us, not good for you. I dont like Adult Swim's recent shows, so this is saving it for me. 2 episodes left and its back to TV Carnage. Dingus.
