"Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" [Heidecker-Wareheim, 2007] Season 4 [Feb.-Apr. 2009] [TV-14]

Live-action Robot Chicken for... people with no sense of humor? Naw, just kidding, it's just "surreal"-- executed better than ever was 12 Oz. Mouse, I daresay. I would think that the idea whereby humor is created here is that all these incoherent (between each other and as a united whole, that is), vaguely funny sketches, when piled on top of one another, should generate as much laughs as would a regular, straight-up comedy. And this comedic ideology is executed to utter perfection--only it is inherently kinda flawed, since the humor never builds up to an outwardly desirable level. But of course it is still a good show, and in its own right. Grade: B PLUS
