History Series / TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob

''Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!'' (2007-2010) was a 15-minute long Creator/AdultSwim original centered around comedians and video artists [[Creator/TimAndEric Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim]], the creators of the absurdist cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TomGoesToTheMayor''. Known for often skirting the border between comedy and [[RefugeInAudacity gratuitous absurdity]] ([[VulgarHumor or worse]]), and also for recruiting extremely obscure, untalented, and non-telegenic performers as recurring cast members, such as James Quall, David Liebe Hart, Palmer Scott, and the late Richard Dunn, and sticking them alongside frequent [[TheCameo cameos]] from well-known comedy actors. All of this comes together as what low-budget local public-access television from TheEighties and [[TheNineties Nineties]] would look like [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs if it was made by stoners]].

--> '''Eric''': ''*After Eric raps about having bloody nipples''* I think I want to quit this band. This is a song about a woman's problem and it's disgusting.

Well known for being ''very'' LoveItOrHateIt among Adult Swim fans, with some finding it indicative of the channel's growing NetworkDecay, not caring for the (Admittedly ''very'' strange and specific) [[SurrealHumor style of humor]] or resentful towards the amount of WolverinePublicity the duo get. Supporters cite the growing diversity of the network, satire of Corporate America's tendency to pander to FlyoverCountry, and the fact that if this was put on any other channel, it would be considered professional suicide.

* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: James Quall's entire act tends towards ''terrible'' impressions of celebrities and frequent use of the words "spaghetti and meatballs" as punchlines. He also has no sense of comic timing or delivery, and stammers his way through every joke he makes. It's just so terribly unfunny and [[CringeComedy cringeworthy]] you can't help but find it hilarious.

** The episode "Comedy" is a spoof of SaturdayNightLive.

** RobinWilliams, in his (simulated) appearance, only speaks gibberish and pisses off the hosts, who kick him out of their flat. He walks away, muttering "asshole..."

* HollywoodHomely: Averted. Part of the show's surreal look comes from casting average-looking people as actors.

** Parodied with ''Spagett'', ''Whoopsie Goldberg'', and in a parody of {{Series/Jackass}}, the spider web prank sketch.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The guest contestants on "Celebrity Zillions"

* BlackComedy: Shows up constantly if you look for it, almost too numerous to mention.
** Jan & Wayne Skylar's rocky marriage

** The neglectful parenting revealed through the songs of Casey Tatum. ("A Song For Mommy" being the most tragic

** The "Weekend Wear" skit involves a "Beautify" option that changes the man's entire face with different sets of eyes, nose, and mouth. A jab at self-consciousness and makeup.

** Jimes Tooper in "Universe". "I do this every night with your son"
** The Kid Break song "Boogs". The entire song is about a boy being stuck with eating boogers for sustenance because his father has no job and doesn't apply for food stamps.
** "...put my daughter's name Susan, 69" (Innernette)

** In some episodes, Eric trades places with Eric: most noticeably in the episode ''Road Trip''.

* BlackComedy

** David Leibe Hart, a ventriloquist who obsesses over aliens and good Christian values (despite foraying into the occasional dirty joke or BawdySong).

* BrownNote: The Cinco i-Jammer's "i-Jammer" and "e-Bumper" settings emit tones that apparently cause seizures.

* SpecialGuest: Creator/JeffGoldblum, MichaelCera, Creator/WillFerrell, Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens, Music/WeirdAlYankovic, [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]], Music/TheLonelyIsland, and ''Mr. Show'''s Bob and David, among others.

** RobinWilliams, in his (simulated) appearance, makes no sense and pisses off the hosts, who kick him out of their flat. He walks away, muttering "asshole..."

* BittersweetEnding: ''Brothers Cinco''. [[spoiler:Terry is sent to jail for the murder of his wife, and it turns out the only reason Mark made him use the E-Trial software was just so he could take over the company. Worse, Mark learned Terry was guilty because Terry and his wife [[ThanatosGambit planned the death just so Terry could take over]]. However, once they admit what they've done, they begin exchanging ideas for new inventions and make up.]]

* BloodyHilarious: The "Tairy Greene Machine" sketch starts with Eric walking into the room with his hands bleeding profusely. He applies gauze, but to no effect - as the sketch goes on, the amount of blood-soaked gauze on his hands increases, to the point that at the end he dies from the blood loss with boxing glove-sized mounds on his hands.
