Very strong episode. I loved it when Eric came in with the autotuning.

Greatest way to end an episode of Awesome Show.

Great, great episode. This whole season has been fantastic.

I miss Tom Goes to the Mayor.

Yep. The ending to this last episode really made me laugh.

Overall, I'm a Tim and Eric fan, but I much preferred Tom Goes to the Mayor to their current show. I think the structure and linear-ness of TGTTM really made for a more entertaining show. There seemed to be more of a Bob Odenkirk influence on the writing of TGTTM too. Even though the plotlines of TGTTM were sometimes crazy, it was all within a traditional sitcom-esque structure, and I think that worked out well for them.

The cable access-ish atmosphere of Awesome Show is OK, but gets a little tiresome for me after a while. When everything is insane and "WTF" all the time, it gets hard to care anymore. That kind of humor may have appealed to me when I was in my 20s, but nowadays I prefer things with actual plot and jokes. Actually, their "Father and Son" short showed that they can still pull off traditional narrative (and good acting) when they try, I just thought it was a little out of place for Funny or Die.

I was in the meatpacking district in NYC yesterday when I walked by this incredibly tacky and awesome mural of Dr. Steve Brule (with tiny little Tim and Eric at the bottom of the image). I haven't read through this thread but I did search on "mural" so I'm sorry if I'm repeating something here. Does anyone know about this? It's approximately a block north of the big new Standard Hotel at Washington and 13th Street, I think.

Eric posted this on his twitter a couple of days ago:

I agree with you, the show is tiring a bit, it feels like the show is on "auto-pilot" . Im a big T&E fan, and id like to see them move on and evolve

I couldn't disagree more. While I like TGTTM a lot, Tim and Eric did not come into their own as a unique presence in comedy until Awesome Show. TGTTM just seemed like a good AS show to me, while T&EASGJ! is more original and interesting.

45% of the time I have no idea what is going on, and I figure that's about right.

I'm now Facebook friends with Richard Dunn. I got this message from him today:

Richard sent you a message.

	Richard Dunn VIIMarch 31, 2010 at 11:26pm Subject: friend go to my profile on facebook and look for the link to add friends on my new facebook site

[RoyalDutchOfDukes]

I apologize if no one else finds this as hilarious or awesome as I do, but I did what Richard asked in his message, requested him as a friend, and got this back:

"
Between You and Richard Dunn VII

Richard Dunn VII April 1 at 1:27pm Report

So if it's not the real Richard Dunn, whoever it is is playing a hilarious prank on me!

I can't say I feel good about those

[Ethan]

Yeah, not quite sure how to feel

[CarolineEAnd]

I like them better than the "I'm on a horse now" Old Spice commercials.

[RoyalDutchOfDukes]

I miss the Bruce Campbell ones

[scamboogah]

Those are awesome. Of course, I could watch President Camacho scream the phone book and be thoroughly entertained.

EXPLOSIOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

[smartbunny]

I like those AND the guy-on-a-horse ones.
