| Funnier than GOD |
...but that's not really saying much. I love this show. Some don't love this show. Some hate this show. Hate? Wow, strong stuff. Why don't you hate something like cruelty to animals, social injustice or war. Now those are worthy of the hate. I got a lot of love for a lot of things and this is one of them. Am I ranting yet? It's just a good show that makes me laugh often. I've shared the dvd with friends who love it too. Try it. |

| WARNING: Not for Everyone |
You either hate this or love it. If you didn't like it on Adult Swim then don't buy the DVD because there is no point in buying it when you know you didn't like it in the first place.
The things that make these DVD are the commentary and other behind the scenes clips. Never before have I heard commentary from a Adult Swim DVD that was actually worth listening to. There was information about the show! They explained stories and reasons for certain things which is what commentary is supposed to be. Not some one shredding on a guitar for the whole commentary track. (ATHF)
To the gentlemen who talked about John C. Riley and how this show could ruin his career, bad comment dude. No class. |

| Great job! |
Great job!
People who hate it simply are unable to realize why it is funny...go back to watching Family Guy if you need constant pop-culture references and inane plotlines to find something humorous.

I can't remember the last time wrote a review on Amazon (if ever) during my many years of patronage, but when I saw "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!" on the site I was compelled to speak out! I am a graduate student in communication/film, and I recently wrote a paper titled "The Postmodern Awesome Show" on Tim and Eric. Without delving into theory, I want to say that I think this show is on the cutting edge.
The familiar structural and contextual elements are used with a greater intensity and new dynamism. Tim and Eric build with progressive elements as well. The humor materializes largely through parodic intertextual references to media culture undercurrents and artifacts of the technical apparatus. These references are often exceptionally subtle...more so than in other "sketch comedy" shows. The degree of intratextual reference is also greater. Sketches do not refer just to their counterparts in preceding episodes. All the sketches connect to each other through highly individualistic and tightly interwoven stylistic and thematic elements. Tim and Eric effectively move beyond the constraints of linear narrative imposed upon "Tom Goes to the Mayor" without losing cohesive vision and style.
"Awesome Show" will not, of course, appeal to everyone. You probably need to have both a progressive, open mind and compatible predilections for comic irony and non sequitur. A diagnosis of ADHD and/or Schizophrenia from your psychiatrist may also predispose you to appreciate the show. Either way, "Awesome Show" may just blow your fancy. Cheers! |

| Horrible Job, Tim and Eric, you morons!! |
I stumbled across this show on adult swim. Let me just say that I'm into trippy funny stuff like athf, sealab, venture bros, dethklok, brak show, harvey birdman and some other stuff, but THIS show is UNWATCHABLE (and I was high!). You have to be a complete braindead moron to find any of this funny. Everything is shot in like superbright vhs type film that turns your eyes inside out and and your brain into oatmeal and NONE of it is funny. It seems like Tim and Eric didn't try at all, and adult swim didn't mind. I can't believe it's on dvd, i wouldn't watch it if they paid me. Well, I guess I would. |
