Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories

In a sentence: T&E Bedtime Stories is more subtle and less tame, exactly what they have been dying to do. Though it is only "subtle" when compared to Awesome Show Great Job. The humor is what I consider to be so far beyond bathroom humor that it has wrapped around itself and come right back to the beginning (eg. A man says something and another farts, however the punchline is not the fart ((which is too stupid to be funny)) No, the punchline is that they were making a stupid fart joke in the first place.) In this way I hope you can come to understand (and ultimately love) the geniuses that are, Tim and Eric.

It's Tim and Eric. It needs multiple viewings, not to understand but to embrace the ludicrous and surreal nature of it all. Make sure you have plenty of cannabis on hand, preferably strong sativa edibles too lol..

You can like shows like this and curb your enthusiasm, stuff on BBC, ect. It's ok I think?

Tim and Eric aren't geniuses, but damn they can be very funny. Great show. 8/10. Also, this came out before Inside no 9.

Inside no 9 and don't want to say anything else, I appreciate their efforts and still a good taste to watch this show.

It's not really a horror series, far as I can tell, but in the ten minutes of the first episode, it runs through a lot of the horror movie staples. It has all the bits and pieces, all the tropes of a horror story, but the context is just slightly off, so it all ends up falling into comedy. It's really clever.

There was an episode of Gintama (an anime) that had a radio program that did this same thing. It professed that it was going to be a bedtime story that would send you off to sleep guaranteed, but the execution was so off that it became a horror story.

It's really clever, when you think about it, requiring really exact joke construction. Gotta respect that. It could benefit from a longer time run or some rated R humor, but I think it's on Adult Swim so they might be pushing it as far as it will go already. I'm not sure at all what they allow.
