Great Job! (Punditocracy)
Update: 2008-04-23
Description
If you've seen "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, then you're well acquainted with how virtually impossible it is to describe. Imagine sketch comedy in the vein of "Mr. Show," Andy Kaufman's confrontational brand of anti-humor, and video effects that look ripped from a Soviet-era infomercial produced by an autistic David Lynch-and you've still failed.
Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim met as film students at Temple University in Philadelphia, where they discovered that they really didn't care all that much for being film students and started making videos just to amuse themselves. A typical example of this early work features the duo dressed up as Batman & Robin, taking massive bong hits, and flying over the ocean with John McCain at their side.
"Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" jumps mercilessly from commercial parodies for products such as "The Poop Tube" to synth-laden musical numbers performed by a hideously deformed and vomiting little boy, with a whole host of slightly creepy social satire and spasm-inducing montages in between.
They're somehow going to be performing all of this live in Lawrence. Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim took some time out from filming their third season to uncomfortably disseminate misinformation with us about the "Awesome Tour 2008!"
