ive never seen anything of tim and eric before, and i never will again
I strongly recommend you re-think that decision. You won't regret it.
It's as simple as going to
adultswim.com right now and typing "Tim and Eric Awesome Show" or "Tom Goes To The Mayor" in search. It'll bring up a ton of clips from both of their TV shows that they did for Adult Swim.
Your local video store may have one or both shows too. I can't really recommend to you which one to watch first, because both are very different. "Mayor" is animated and the humor is drier, unlike "Awesome Show," which is live action. There are many people who love one show, but don't like the other at all.
This is why I don't get why their 17-year-old fans (either literal or in spirit) get so dang miffed when people don't like certain things they do, or flat out
hate certain things they do. No intelligent artists like Tim and Eric get into the game to play it safe and be liked by everyone. I think it's only a compliment to their artistry and versatility that even their devoted fanbase differ drastically on some things. And it's a shame that most of these fans don't have the maturity to talk about it.
The whole diversity thing. Oh, well. "Some people just don't get it."
Case in point, "AccessTheMainGrid," who deleted this thread topic "Best Tim and Eric Moments" simply because people expressed opinions he didn't like. A little ironic, considering he has no problem spouting off about who/what
he doesn't like, and in a very candid fashion. I thought his opinions about a couple actors - particularly Zach G. - were a little harsh, and honestly, kind of out of line.... but I still didn't begrudge him the right to say it. (Yet we do the same thing in his thread and he metaphorically takes his toys and goes home. Hmm. Because, in his opinion, it got "negative." lol It didn't get negative. We just mentioned a couple things he disagreed with.)
