"Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" is probably one of the most notorious shows to air on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It gave rise to a great deal of "stoner humor" that now permeates a lot of it's programming. For a long time, I kind of detested it, and I still kind of do. But there are some aspects of the show that are indeed funny. Not to mention others that are just plain awkward, nausea inducing, and borderline strange overall.
Predating Awesome Show was of course "Tom Goes To The Mayor" which follows a lot more of the conventions of situational humor. Sort of makes one wonder what was the drive in creating such a sharp contrast in this very surreal sketch comedy show.
It's enjoyable to some, namely the ones who are somehow under the impression that it's somehow "subtle" and "intelligent" and not on the level of Family Guy in terms of comedic sensibilities. But a big head scratcher for many. Then again, it's best to keep in mind that all humor, even Tim & Eric's brand, is very subjective and open to interpretation
