IF HE CAN'T SEE WHERE HE IS THEN HE CAN'T TALK ABOUT WHERE HE IS

Does the Tim & Eric thread discus who Dr. San is IRL?

Gregg & Zac were former roommates & Gregg put out Zac's former band (dieselhed)'s records 25+ years ago.

pour me some bubb-lehh

the full marching band "oscar fever" that starts off the third oscars special had me simultaneously howling and thinking this is the best show i've ever seen

feel like I watch this clip at least twice a day

i had never seen decker before and it's perfect

gregg's performance as klington is excellent

even more impressive given he didn't even know he was filming for the show

i'm at port of call: hawaii. what a coincidence that kington is a big film buff too

hah wait until you get to the final episode

just got to the end of season 10 last night, Tim having to silently eat shit for the last couple episodes is awesome

also his pronunciation of Chappaquiddick

chachacra
chupchick
chap
pachaquadick
chachapuadick

basically this

the decker cinematography was suddenly amazing in episode 13 and i tried to see if anyone mentioned it in the youtube comments and found this

The cinematography really wowed me in this one! True filmmakers. Peter Jackson would be proud!

Is season 10 the one that’s filmed in VR? That was such a funny idea

I only just now realized that the last episode of Port of Call Hawaii is Tim's retaliation for Gregg giving away the original ending on On Cinema

"why call somebody that loved driving cars, after he's dead—who cares anymore—why not change his name from 'walker,' which doesn't represent what he does—what he does is drive fast—so you change his name to 'paul driver' or 'paul turbo'"

lmao that's one of my faves

Interesting how @timheidecker has become what he hates the most--a terrorist. How is he any different than this?: http://t.co/uGCZiLM3gQ

we're gonna do a lucky dip, just like anyone has done

the Decker "Our Values Are Under Attack" just comes into my head at least once a week

the pleasure and the curse of this show is that everything else gets warped through its lens. for some reason i'm reading the Please Please Me review on allmusic, and how can you not read this User Review in gregg's voice:

"What a debut by a group or artist. Stunning smashes like "I Saw Her Standing There", "P.S. I Love You", "Do You Want To Know A Secret". and the closer "Twist And Shout" make this a must have album. Every song is worth hearing. Not too many artists get it right the first time out, but the Beatles did."

(five bags of popcorn stars)

Christ, I watched three episodes tonight and then my mom called and I found myself copying Tim’s cadences and stumbles.

yeah unfortunately this show has ruined my ability to speak

Just bore witness last night to Tim's two near-death experiences over the course of season 8. Just when you think things can't go further off the rails.

Y'all should be thankful that Tim's cadence is all you picked up from the show. I'm beginning to fear that this nutritional vaping thing isn't as cool as he made it look.

still recovering from my acupunctured face sores tbh

Fuckin Dr. San, man. Every time.

I think Joe Estevez is my favorite character in this show, I get such wholesome vibes from him

feel the same way about ayaka but i've only just finished season five. it is v weird and compelling to see these nice people in the middle of the most toxic dynamic i've ever seen

although tim and gregg definitely deserve each other

I loved loved loved the episode in season 8 when Tim started expressing his sincere appreciation for Gregg and Gregg got suuuuuuper uncomfortable and also could only discuss Tim's suicidal ideation by comparing it to It's a Wonderful Life. It's easy to forget at times that both characters are damaged goods.

sorry i meant i had just finished season six. i watched tim's ant-man review during lunch and holy shit

Yeah. That's still probably a top five highlight.

this is the movies, the laws of physics demand at least one bag of popcorn

the buildup from peyton reed appearing on the oscars special to that review is really great, comparable to gregg filming multiple "on cinema on location" segments in a row at locations used in oh, god!

And then when Gregg's error over the title of the popcorn classic "Breakdown" is pointed out, he doubles down and insists that there were two working titles so either way is perfectly valid.

xps

I'm coming around to the notion that Gregg sticks with Tim through all of the bullshit purely because only in Tim's company does Gregg come off as relatively normal and functional.

I think its supposed to be because his character is a pathetic dude and it's the only venue that a guy who collects comically mundane VHS tapes can have a platform as a "movie expert"

mundane movies on VHS* is what I meant

the laws of physics demand at least one bag of popcorn

This single sentence echoes through my mind at least two times a day!

is it unspoken that gregg got ayaka deported in one of the earlier seasons? he almost definitely reported the theft of his airheads vhs to the cops

the laws of physics demand at least one bag of popcorn

This single sentence echoes through my mind at least two times a day!

Would be a great sign to put up at an actual concession stand

goddammit lmao

I usually binge this while my gf is out and even though she's seen her share of T+E stuff she still seems baffled when she returns to whatever's happening onscreen. She recently walked in when Tim was discussing what he planned to do with his dead son's life insurance money. Oh, and then last night one of the Purple Boys ads was playing (which y'all should look up if they haven't popped up for you yet).

I'm at season 8 an Old Lunch wasn't kidding, this is off the chain.

"Mah, myaka-uh... my Ayaka is with child, pregnance. Wasn't not planned, but eh, we have that coming up."

😭😭😭

I need to review so that I can precisely quote the thing he says about having to talk in some weird voice so the thoughts in his brain don't come out his nose. I honestly about died.
