Since my old thread was locked, I made a new one. Anyway, I don't get all the hate directed at a TV show for crying out loud. I mean, unless you have some crazy TV, you can change the channel you know. Tim and Eric's style of comedy is something totally different than what most people are used to, but don't call it crap after only having seen one episode, give it a chance. I didn't fully understand it the first few times I watched T&E, but I stuck with it, and now think it's fantastic. Some people think that there is a deeper meaning hidden in T&E's comedy. I don't think so. I think it's just meant to be the craziest, stupidest, most messed up thing on TV. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, open your minds to other forms of comedy than the kind you see on Family Guy. And keep your meat ice cold.

I don't get it, why did they lock the other thread?
Kudos for defending T & E, it seems like 99% of all comments about them are by people who create accounts just to hate on them.
On the same note, I doubt a lot of them bothered to watch more than a couple episodes. Hm.

it's very unique comedy, which means a lot of people don't understand it.
And it's just a weird psychological dynamic in general.
But I still think, the people who get it, love it.
And some of the people who don't, still feel very emotionally about it.
It's strange to me that people don't seem to be able to figure out that - like if T&E was just boring crap, they wouldn't be compelled to just go so so far out of their way to feel so utterly emotionally about it. Even the haters, are just - insanely keyed up over the show.
Way moreso than any other show or artists on the block.
It amazes me that none of them seem to key into that. That element of how - like they can't get it out of their head or whatever. They almost seem to feel compelled to respond to it.
And if it really was just bad, I would think people could just change the channel and problem solved.
But I honestly think that a lot of these haters are sooo over the top because they have some emotional connection to the work that they don't understand.
So - not only is the work that Tim & Eric do interesting, I think the reactions are interesting as well.
I hope they continue to create and don't get too jaded/brought down by the crap. I love their work and look forward to seeing whatever they do next.
Would love to see more Check It Out w/Brule, New Big Ball w/Neil Hamburger, or anything else they do on Adult Swim or anywhere else.
I think the haters are passionate about it too for some internal reason. If they actually attempted to connect with that instead of investing in fear/ignorance, I actually think a lot of the extreme haters would actually be fans of the work if they let themselves, or if they actually had the mental/psychological fortitude to sit down and figure their own thoughts/feelings out for themselves rather than just barking at things like a pack o' dawgs.

Meh, it got locked cause I was flaming. Yeah, I agree with you. They probably watched one episode, didn't get it, and then came on here to hate on it. People need to give a show a chance, I didn't like Frankenhole at first, but after watching a few episodes, I now like it.

actually if you compare the responses of people defending it versus people hating it more haters just kinda blabber on inconsistently while the people defending it seem more relaxed and informative, just sayin

I've watched every episode, I've analyzed it, I've studied it, I understand it, and it isn't funny.
I'm pretty sure that the fascination comes down to bright colors, simple & repetitive songs, and poop jokes, but there is also an elaborate, pseudo-intellectual cover misusing concepts of absurdity, sarcasm, and parody. If you like awkward moments, don't watch The Office... go get a job in a cubicle and enjoy a lifetime of it! There's also a generational gap involved, and I don't see how those who think it is groundbreaking have watched much parody & satire from the late 1970s to early '90s.
The more fans say haters haven't given it a chance, the more I'll insist on how terrible it really is.

I have watched every episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus, and Awesome Show, and I have to say that they are on the same plane of comedy. Both shows are groundbreaking and unique in their own way, and both have influenced other forms of comedy. It all comes down to, People have it set in their head what comedy should be, and how jokes should be told, and any show that deviates from this set plan is automatically crap. I am just glad to see a comedy show that isn't just a constant string of religious, political, and sex jokes.

ANOTHER NOOB JOINING THE BAND WAGON! LOL. But seriously..the show ...is ..CRAP! Just my opinion. Two out of shape middle aged guys **werd** on each other and a still shot of a cat **werd**ting? Iono...just doesnt seem funny. But hey you like what you like. I wonder if they will give Frankenhole there slot? THAT WOULD BE SOO COOL! Yea yea I know I'm about to get trolled....BRING IT ON! LOL

You cant compare Monty Python to TIM AND ERIC. Monty python is well thought out deep humor. Tand E is nothing but sex jokes and lets not forget the on going crapping cat shot. You cant honestly be comparing that to IN SEARCH OF THE HOLY GRAIL? That was the funniest movie ever!

The crapping cat was used in one scene of one episode in the first season. And I'm comparing Tim and Eric to The Flying Circus, not to the Holy Grail, you can't compare a TV show and a movie very well.

I've seen quite a few episodes (due to insomnia and a lack of anything else on). I don't hate it, but I'll watch some infomercials before T&E. Personally, I think there's a huge lack of any organization. From the eps I've seen they seem to just play on the stupidity of the human race and stereotypes, which, to be honest, I can go back to highschool for that.
They aren't original. There's Monty Python, like you said, The Mighty Boosh, SNL, any improv show (like Whose Line). There's plenty more I'm sure. The difference is, those guys are funny where Tim and Eric isn't. I mean, I would expect my 14 y/o brother and his friends to make a show like that. Because that's what it is; mindless humor with a hint of questionable sanity.
I don't know. Mostly I just go into a stupor when it comes on.
I guess it just depends on the person, but I wouldn't be sad if [as] gave them the boot. There's certainly better shows they could be playing that everyone could get along with.

Why do so many people want to get rid of it? It's not even on the schedule for crying out loud. Awesome Show is supposed to be disorganized and a little bit insane. That's the Tim and Eric style of comedy. Tim and Eric are original. There's no comparison between them and SNL or even the Mighty Boosh. T&E is more fast paced and uses humor that's a little less intelligent, but just as funny if not more so than the Humor used by the Pythons or the other shows you named.
