![]() ![]() You want him to like punk rock, for his politics to be less bland, whatever. Sometimes, you just want him to be as elevated and cool as his comedy is. I don't know if it's his impatience or occasional close-mindedness or what. There is SOMETHING about his attitude out of character that gets to be grating. ![]() But I couldn't take listening to him on Office Hours after a few months. He's obviously a genius, so not surprised he's mercurial/testy/etc. Always saying 'oh, people are telling me this is a CASH GRAB can you believe it?' when the On Cinema bullshit really is super expensive for what you get (I'm a subscriber). What do you think? Like I said I think he's just insecure and hides some of his flaws and rudeness behind comedy a lot of the time, a lot of this is from how he interacts with 'fans'. At this point I think he gets cut a lot of slack because 'oh he's doing a bit, don't you get it?' but they're bits that make people feel uncomfortable and make him look self-important and rude and at that point it just doesn't seem like it's that funny anymore. But goddamn does Tim seem like a dick, and not in a funny way just a way that makes him look like a dick. It's hard for me because I absolutely love Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Tom Goes to the Mayor, On Cinema, Bedtime Stories, Eric's work outside of the show, even the movie. I get that, but it comes across as a little dickish because you can tell the interviewer knows they're joking around, but they also have a job to do and they're not trying to keep up with improv, they're just some guy trying to do their job and help them plug their content. Then there's all of the interviews where it seems like the interviewer is just not in on the bit at all, and they turn it all into a joke. Then on Twitter, it's more of the same, like that recent thing I saw where he posted what he thought was his favorite album and then when people disagreed or gave their opinion, even very politely, he just acted like an insecure kid shitting on all of the things and kind of having a 'who gives a fuck what your favorite album is' after he posted his. Super rude (as a joke), creating awkward situations with guests and people who call into his podcast (as a joke?), interrupting others (this probably isn't a joke). Firstly, I get that when he's 'out of character' he's usually still doing bits and joking around constantly. ![]()
