Wow, really? I think this show is really funny (and apparently it's Al's style of humor too...)

This isn't Al related but just yesterday, I printed out a "Casey is missing" poster as seen on the show, and my mom saw it, and her and my dad yelled at me for over 10 minutes. I don't think they understand the show.

Why did they yell at you? I hope they find that poor sick kid...

Hubby and I have a thing about Tim and Eric. No surprise, he can't stand them (he can't get the name straight, so he calls them "Ted and Binky"

, but I usually enjoy their twisted take on things.

Sometimes they are WAY off base, but other times they nail it...in a very weird sort of way. I've grown to like them a lot more over time, but outside of the show in live performances they are too vulgar for me.

Their video for Ben Folds' "You Don't Know Me" is awful. Based on that, their sense of humour doesn't appeal to me, and it's probably the reason You Don't Know Me was nowhere near as popular as it should've been.

My friend Dan edited that video.

...Did I mention the editing ROCKS?

The editing on that video is amazing, Jon. Tell your friend he did a great job.

Tim & Eric are certainly not to everyone's tastes (that's very deliberate on their end), but at least they're doing something distinctive and unique, and I respect them for the lengths they go if nothing else. Plus, I could watch John C. Reilly as Dr. Steve Brule all damn day. "What goes in the hole comes out the hole!"

I hope Al does more bits for them this season, but I'm not really counting on it. His only appearance in season 3 was in the "live show footage" episode, and his stuff for that was most likely shot back with season 2.

Also, I'd like to point out that Ben Folds is the ONLY artist in history to have videos directed by Weird Al, Tim & Eric, AND John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants ("Song For The Dumped"). That's how much he rocks.
