It's almost brilliant and almost complete grabage.

Beyond the crappy intro, commercials, recaps, that take up much of the show, is a glimmer of potential. Some episodes are really funny and creative but most of them are garbage. It's like professionals and adolescents work together separately and communicate via shoestring to create chaos. I love whatever tim and eric do, I love the drunk history, and a few others like playground politics, and some of Dave and Jennie. But stuff like space baby and Dave Oconell singing about asian babies is horrible. There was also a skit where I guess they tried to do some kind of robot chicken tribute about a folk singer who sang about dolphins that was absolutely pathetic. I shouldnt be mad, I should just accept it for what it is but it's hard when this show gets 30 minutes while great shows like squidbillies and tim and eric get half that and come on whenever you somehow get extremely lucky.

"when this show gets 30 minutes while great shows like squidbillies and tim and eric get half that and come on whenever you somehow get extremely lucky."

lol are you serious? the creators of those two shows CHOSE to have 11 minutes timeslots. in case you didn't realize, most shows on [adult swim] are only 11 minutes. personally, I prefer the 11 minute format. and Squidbillies is on A LOT, almost every night. Tim & Eric, not so much anymore, but they've had three shows & have another coming soon.

I agree that Dave O'Connell wasn't funny at all. he may be a talented musician but he shouldn't be on a comedy show. & yes, the Tim & Eric sketches are by far the best. I also thought Hold Up was great.
