An Evening with Tim Heidecker

Funniest thing I've seen in ages. Fans of Tim and Eric know what's going on and will appreciate the genius of this special. Tim takes his standard narcissistic bully character and makes him a hapless stand-up, full of self-loathing that manifests as anger towards those around him, including the audience, the stage crew and his ex-wife.

If you thought that title was funny then you love this awkward on purpose waste of time. Fans will say "you just don't get it" but like he's said about his other shows "it's all in the edit" and well this was not edited.

As a Tim fan this was very hard to watch.

Literally nothing funny was said in one hour of stand up.

"I like Lady Gaga, but whats next? Lord GooGoo?" This is the quality of jokes through out the show

Also lets not forget the comedy gem "Do you remember the band U2" repeated 20 times

Just horrible.

Anti-comedy can be some of the funniest stuff out there (a la Norm Macdonald), but it takes a special comedic voice, delivery and material to pull it off. Unfortunately, Tim fell very short of meeting the threshold to make the unfunny "funny". I got what he was going for in the first 5 minutes and adjusted my expectations accordingly. Even after doing so, I thought I was unironically watching a Brendan Schaub special.

There's a reason no one picked this up and he released it on his own YT channel. If you're already a fan, you'll get a few chuckles but I could never recommend this to anyone.

From the beginning, Tim tries to inject awkwardness into the show and over does it to the extreme point of me toiling around with whether this is funny or not. It just becomes ridiculously immature. And finally when he does seem to gather his faculties about himself he just bombs and then played some mental masturbation mind game garbage that's just absolutely NOT funny in any way, shape or form. I lost an immense amount of respect for Tim Heidecker from this stand-up. I went more than halfway through just hoping, for his sake and mine, that he would do or say something or anything funny. But that did not happen. And to other fans of Tim's other stuff, go ahead, see for yourself! And yes I do get the paradoxical ant-comedy aspect and in some cases it works, but definitely not in this one. I have it 2 stars only because of the microphone fumbling introduction. Everything else sucked. Boooo!
