C&C - Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! - "Abstinence" [3/23]

[Zach Logan]

The question is, is this show better or worse than shows like 12 oz. Mouse, Minoriteam, and Tom Goes to the Mayor?

[Aaron_bhkk]

Why is that the question? Tom Goes to the Mayor is my favorite show that ever aired on [adult swim], and I liked 12 Oz. Mouse as well. Minoriteam, on the other hand, I feel is one of the worst misuses of television in history. But yes, I feel this show is better than all of those shows, or at least right on par with Tom.

In regards to this particular episode, however, probably the worst of the series so far. Hopefully this will always be the lowpoint, because it still wasn't that bad. The Pizza Boy sketch, main old person through-line, and musical interstital sketches were all great. However, Lazy Horse could have been better, especially with Will Forte involved. And I like Maria Bamford, but the New You sketch was the worst sketch in this show ever. It reminded me of MadTV even, which is something Tim and Eric should never do, have never done, and hopefully will never do in the future.

Anyway, yeah, as far as worst episodes go, this one wasn't all bad, but I hope it's the lowest point they ever hit in this otherwise awesome show (great job).

I both deeply want and need that poster of Pierre warning people of the dangers of warm meat that was in the writers room.

Pizza Guy, Will Forte, old workers, a bad ATM, and...more Will Forte.

This episode may be the best one yet. It was definitely the most well-written of the season thus far.

Grade: A+

There were some good sketches, but it wasn't really all that funny. However, the pizza boy sketch and the techno remix thing was good enough to bring it up one letter grade.

A-

[Juu-kuchi]

Brilliant. If I had to teach children about abstinence I'd use the Pizza Guy skit over any other kind of educational programme.

[The Myst]

David Cross was all right but I was expecting better.

Maria Bamford actually had the only really funny thing in this episode.

And the Cinco Credit Card thing was basically the same shtick as the family registration in TGTTM. The name in it was amusing. I always seem to be amused by the names Tim and Eric come up with. Like "Spraynard Kruger".

Highlights:

Lazy Horse Mattress Store
Pierre's hot dog parade
The New You!

This show was all over the place this week.

The question is, is this show better or worse than shows like 12 oz. Mouse, Minoriteam, and Tom Goes to the Mayor?

12oz = better
Minoriteam = better
TGTTM = not sure, since they're from the same team

BTW, does anyone know what movie that eye-gouging head-exploding footage came from, if any?

[Ahiru-kun]

This was easily the best one yet. Every skit got at least one laugh from me. I like they way that T&EASGJ doesn't have a particular style of humor.

Pierre is my favorite character next to Uncle Muscles.

I enjoy this show, much more than Saul of the Mole Men. I like most shows that Odenkirk involves himself with. At least the girl on Saul is ridiculously hot, thats all it has going for it right now.

I honestly don't find the mutant molewoman hot at all.

To each his own I guess. :shrug:

[TnAdct1]

To me, this episode suggests that Tim and Eric have finally gotten used to the new concept, as a number of these segments (i.e. the musical bits, the hot dog parade) got a giggle out of me.

[The Myst]

I don't either but I don't like blondes.

Anyway, I'd say this show is better than Tom, better than Minoriteam, not as good as 12OZMO.

Hot blonde in TaEAS GJ - "Abstinence"...WHO IS SHE? Gave me a reason to watch the show this week.:evil:

[Lutochris]

The ATM thing was one of the funniest things I've seen. I HATE those automated hotlines that try to sound like real people. I love the ad on the bank sign: "No Human interaction!"

Hot blonde in TaEAS GJ - "Abstinence"...WHO IS SHE? Gave me a reason to watch the show this week.:evil:

The girl in the Pizza Boy sketch is Abbey Brooks. I'm not sure why she's not credited anywhere... I had to search through a ton of blonde model photos (yeah, tough job, someone had to do it). I agree, this was the one of the funniest TaEAS GJ to date, and she was the icing on the cake. Thanks, Tim & Eric!

Upon further viewing, this episode is better than I originally thought. The only sketches I didn't particularly like were New You and the Married News Team sketch. Not one of my favorites of the series, but a great episode nonetheless. :)

[Franklin Sherman]

I see alot of Mr. Show in Tim and Eric, I hope AS sticks with this show, it keeps building up steam and is hilarious.

[xokxtrunks]

Much better than the previous episode. Enjoyed the abstinence pizza video, Will Forte, and the techno remix thing were all pretty good.

A- from me.
