Somewhere down the line utter randomness became funny.
That's halfway true, Funny randomness is funny.
Complete nonsensical randomness is retarded.
Why do you care so much about defending Tim & Eric?
What did they ever do for you? Except not make you laugh?

Merely for post count? Man, that is kinda lame and pathetic, if you don't mind my saying so.
You're in the wrong place. You aren't going to find like-minded people in the T&E folder most likely.
Take it to IB.
People have been 'hating' since the beginning of all things Tim and Eric. Hasn't worked. They've never been removed.
Tim and Eric are at the point where they can walk off into the sunset if they so feel.

How does Family Guy not get a movie and T&E do?
Even if they do make a movie(which I doubt will really happen) do you think it's gonna be a box office success or something?

Because. They're awesome. They're different. They're unique. They make me laugh. And for that I am forever greatful.
Why do I care? I feel strongly about them. Why do you care? Because you do, too. Just in an adverse manner.
They restored my faith in comedy after not having laughed at anything for a long time.

Then you have problems if T&E were the first people that gave you a laugh in a while.
We're done here.

Tim and Eric Billion Dollar Movie
Nobody likes Family Guy any more. Got old fast.
They've only just recently finsished filming their movie.
I think the movie will enjoy modest success. They can sell out tours, so that leads me to believe that the same people will go and see the movie.
I know I'll be first in line! ![]()

What I find funny about the people who hate T&E enough to go on the internet to complain is not only that there are so many of them, but that they're all the same.

I'm not trying to be rude, but it makes no sense to ask why is it funny, then when people explain why they find it funny you continue to argue what they've said.
It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't get it in the first place, when I first saw the show I loved it, I didn't need a reason to like it, I laughed continously and that's all that is needed. I think the problem with America is that they can't accept different things, I'm not really sure why, we have such diversity yet we can't seem to understand why one person likes a SHOW? People take their own beliefs far too seriously, they feel they have to poison people with their views on things. It's so pointless.
There's nothing that we can say to explain it to you when the show is pretty upfront with what they're all about.

Agreed. I just find it funny. I couldn't really explain why either but I love the show and their type of humor.

Somebody said something about how everyone who hates T&E are all the same.
Just look at your avatar Resserty, cats. It's always cats with you people.

"I understand now why China is a communist country,

But that's what we've been trying to tell you guys all along, of course you understand why China is communist, have you guys not noticed how totalitarian you all are? ![]()
But in all seriousness it is interesting that you point out Communism, since a lot of what you people push around here is setting the show to a standard that you yourself, and people who agree with you understand. That's quite an element of Communism in itself, everything has to be the same, not offend you in its existence and be something that you and a select group find appealing.
Are you sure Adult Swim is a channel you should be watching, almost all of their shows are free from the standards that most networks put on their cookie-cutter shows?
What does cats have to do with T&E? Most people who like cats have a tendency to be IN's or IS's (in Psychological Personality Types), look at the people who like anime, a majority love cats as well, and chances are most of them are IN's or IS's as well. People who like anime complain about the show quite a lot, yet a majority of them like cats? Uh, oh. Lack of correlation. It's merely a coincidence, approximately 73 million people in the U.S. have cats, so it's not a rare coincidence.
Also if you really put some thought into what you're saying (but since you guys are ALL the same, you don't) you might realize that I don't just have the cat avatar because I like cats, but also because I like a particular show that it comes from, and the scenario that ensued with the said avatar picture.

Holy **QWOP** this OP won't stop whining and whining about this show. Good for you, you don't like it and don't get it, its not your thing. We don't need you preaching about how Family Guy is the greatest and Tim and Eric just can't compare. Family guy is horse **QWOP** and thats my opinion. But seems like instead of accepting other peoples opinion your making yours sound like fact and trying to convert people away from the show. Well SIR aka illumanti agent 7, you will not TRICK ME!

Okay that might be a little harsh, it is true though T&E would probably not be able to air in China.
They don't even air shows about time travel anymore.
For all the reasons I have to hate T&E yall don't have as many to like it.
Other than that you all just like it. Plain and simple.
I shouldn't tell you what to watch. That's wrong.
But T&E took the timeslot anime like FullMetal Alchemist and Cowboy Bebop used to run on.
That's a good enough reason for me to hate it. T&E should air on DVR theater where it belongs.

Humor me
What's so great about T&E?
I hear yall taking about how you like it but you don't know why.
I know why I like what I like. Thats why I like it.
You just "like it". That means you don't think about why you do what you do.
Or even why you are you.
You might say, everyone else likes T&E, so it must be good.
To quote Dr. Frankenstein from Frankenhole, "Everyones an idiot!!!!".
Oh ye mindless masses.

Did you ever think to read any of the threads here?
We totally understand the show and we understand why we like it.
List of the Things I Like:
1.Tim
2. Eric
3.Richard Dunn
4. DL Hart
5.James Quall
6 Cinco products
7. The music/dance numbers
8. The interactions between characters
9Jan and Wayne
10 absurdism
11 Awkward silences
12. The great timing
13.absurdism mixed with horror
14 They don't go for low-hanging fruit
15 They go where other shows don't go.
16. They don't use pop-culture allusions as a crutch. Their subject matter is completely, wildly original, which makes it even better
17. I like the dialog and the stammering and how Tim and Eric put people on TV who wouldn't be on TV otherwise.
18. I like the editing and the vhs quality of some sketches
19 I like that they geniunely love making shows
But most of all *drum roll* I like Tim and Eric because I like Tim and Eric. I shouldn't have to be put through a trial or interrogation. They make me laugh.
They just gel with me. They trigger responses that other shows miss.

Hey I "get" T&E pal. Nothing flys over my head. I tried to like it.
Like I said before technically it's funny. On paper it's funny. In practice it's not funny.
You ever see T&E do stand up? Sure don't, because they're not funny.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9F0svqEtw4
Also,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn7CT7ryvG8&feature
The only funny thing about that last one was jimmy kimmels reaction to the "absurdism" and the old lady's.
They're not telling jokes, they're doing it for shock value. They're overglorified clowns.
FYI "The absurd" refers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent meaning in life and the human inability to find any. In this context absurd does not mean "logically impossible," but rather "humanly impossible."
Therefore it's not logically impossible for T&E to be funny but humanly impossible.
I can do this all day man.
