Just reminds me of the star-crossed sexual tension between Jeff Gianola and Kelley Day over at KOIN. I sure hope those two end up on a Tahitian beach somewhere, sipping pina coladas and watching the sunset reflect off each other's eyes.

And they're much prettier than Tim & Eric.

"PETITE FEET! FEMININE STEP!"

Because the song could stand on its own without being hilarious WHICH IT IS. Also that dude's mustache is fucking epic. And who doesn't enjoy a rousing game of seven-ball? This sketch gives me a giant skeleton viking boner.

Fuck all those other answers. They're not funny.

Brule's Rules with Dr. Steve Brule.

He stares at the camera. He's seen things that can't be unseen. Whenever Steve reviews modern technology his insights into the nature of man and man's intrinsic fear of the unknown can change you.

And John C. Reilly is really sexy.

I'm not sure it has a name, but whatever the bit is in the "Abstinence" episode where they do the business management spiel talking about how they replaced their work staff with the elderly. Granted, I hate old people with a passion, so when Tim H. proclaims "I hate these old men," I, too, hate right with him. Also, I've seen a lot of these old men napping on the job. Hey, we wanted to try something different, and it hasn't worked out. Now, think about you dad while you surf the innernette, pussy doodle.

Cinco Corporation Ads

As the girlfriend of a man who wakes inexplicably in terror, I will be eternally grateful to the Cinco Corporation for their B'ougar. When we saw this product, we could barely breathe for our relief. Finally, a nightmare to justify our nightmares. I called to order one, but have received no word back. I assume they are handpicking a special B'ougar, just for us.

Stark on Stark

One of the funniest sketches largely because it includes an actor who actually seems to understand what makes the skit funny, a rarity in the Tim and Eric series. In an interview with the AV Club Eric says he advises guest stars to "let the idea be the joke," and this is one of the rare examples from the show where this notion is actually carried out.

I gotta go with "Living Alone" with Dr. Steve Brule.

This skit provides some touching insight into Dr. Brule's character, giving his avid fans a rare behind the scenes look. We can see how the little things in life help someone so damaged yet so brave get in front of that camera. This skit showcases the empathy and pity contrast that Dr. Brule evokes in all of us.

Are you kidding me?

I bought tickets the second they went on sale.

Literally. I set the alarm, woke up early, had the debit card on my keyboard with the page saved in my bookmarks, etc...

You should burn these tickets to spite lesser fans.

i like the one where they're doing the dance routine with the doo rags on their heads. and they're like "do do, do do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do" and i can't get that song out of my head. the only line that sticks out is the part where the guy who is calling the dance tells them to slap each other and that reminds me of my really sad childhood and how my brother and i would beat each other up. i'll take my brother if i get the tickets. promise. if he's not available i'll take my favorite mercury staffer's husband.

Oh Chippy, let me win!

Hands down the finest sketch in the T&EAS:GJ! comedy canon ...

You know who loves Tim and Eric Best? Public Access Television Employees. Did you know that they use people from LA Public Access Stations in their TV Show?

Sit on You!

It's a song to sing when sitting. We all love to sit, right?

Because I work for Public Access TV, I put off buying tickets for financial reasons. Help me out?

ps. Did you know it's called "Community Media" these days?

Nothing makes my taint hum with freedom like the BEAVER BOYS song, 'Beaver Bounce'. It makes me feel as though a host of angels have, from their bowls of wrath and carnal pleasure, poured upon me tuna flavored honey, licked of by a legion of Persian kittens.

People have different ways of unwinding…some like to exercise or read or have butt sex or smoke the rock or whatever. I like to do all of these things BUT my favorite way of unwinding is watching Tim and Eric. It really is an awesome show (great job!) and I think it’s unfair and impossible to pick just one sketch. I mean hellllllllllllllo that fucking baby with the mustache!!! That shit is better than oh pretty much anything really. So I’m not gonna pick one. It’s not right but I have four favorite words: SHRIMP AND WHITE WINE!!!

In these uncertain times of war, famine, rising gas prices, rice shortages, shark attacks and incestuous Austrian sex dungeons ... America needs a new kind of hero. Our salvation takes the unlikely form of a bearded woodsman with the power to fly and heal with hugs!

Ladies and gentlemen, behold Zach Galifinakis as Tairy Green as THE SNUGGLER.

He's got everything a superhero needs -- jean shorts, a stuffed fox, the ability to fly and a kick ass theme song. Suck it, Iron Man.

Snuggle it out, America. Snuggle it out.

I've been a fan of Tim & Eric since Tom Goes To the Mayor and I even sat through Bob Odenkirk's movie Let's Go To Prison to see them all the way at the end sipping on toilet wine for 30 seconds (alas Bob couldn't recapture the Mr. Show spirit for that project).

Probably my favorite skit is Doo Dah Doo Doo. The shiny gold pants that the children's host wears right away mesmerizes you along with the catchy beat. Then as usual, the skit takes a turn for creepiness when the host tells you to think about your dad and that he wants your dad email (I always lose it at that part). It's like any average kid's show!

I also really enjoyed the Shrek 3 promos they did last year online. Because we all know Shrek needed more advertising! I had no idea it was coming out except for the smartness on Tim & Eric's part.

If I won, I'd take my Pepep! Thanks and rats off to ya!

My favorite ep/skit was when David Liebe Hart brought out that mutated shit puppet named Salame! I was pretty drunk that night so I couldn't tell whether it was a cat or a caricature of my ex-life, she's a real ugly bitch, and I owe her tons of child support!

Anywho that has to be the best skit ever in my book, real jaw dropper, something to definitely make you SHIT ALL OVER YOUR BALLS in the middle of the night -OVER- under a drunk/battered haze while you're slowly trying to make ketchup sandwiches for your kids (who are actually invisible).

I LOVE OLD MEN. Richard Dunn playing the role of Tim's dad, and his little speech he give proclaiming his love for Tim and how proud he was of him touched my heart.

Tim, that's not your dad. But good try.
