Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule

While this show carries the Tim & Eric torch of whacky, surrealist humour in 'late night broadcasting' format, it differs greatly from the rest of their work, and holds the position for the scariest thing they've ever made.

At the start of the show the tone is fairly bright and upbeat, but as the episodes pass, everything starts going wrong. Brule's brain damage worsens, several dark characters appear seeking to harm Brule, the topic of each 'Check it Out' becomes more sinister, and evil supernatural presences begin to affect the show itself.

Anyone who enjoyed Tom Goes to The Mayor will like this show, as it has a very similar dark tone, and even similar disgusting products & advertisements.

If I had to classify Check It Out, I would call it a very funny horror, rather than a very scary comedy. The tone is just too consistently dread-inducing to be called otherwise. But it very much works in its favour, and despite being extremely uncomfortable to watch, it was absolutely worth my time. I'm excited, and a little nervous, to rewatch it again in the near future.

This show is so dumb it's absolute genius. If you give one of paper you may be able to get four of coin.

I am very surprised that the rating on this show is so high. It is probably due to the ones reviewing are weirdos, like me. I like a simple show. It doesn't need a weekly budget of 1.7 million dollars to be entertaining. Or a cast of 12 highly paid actors/actresses. But this show seems to have a weekly budget of around $173.00 and a cast of a very few, little known people. And most of the budget goes to the catering staff! And the people in charge of the cutting room should be fired! (Yes, I know it is made that way too feel cheap!) No, really, this show is really entertaining to the Tim and Eric crowd. T&E had Dr Brule on one of their shows. If you do not like T&E, you won't like this. BTW...We need to get some new T&E shows! PLEASE!!!

His character was already a highlight of tim and eric so for him to get his own show was obvious.

This show has grown to become one of my favorite shows on adult swim, and in general. It's got a Tim and Eric vibe, while developing the character of Steve Brule into a hilarious and lovable host. This spinoff brings the low budget magic of 80s public access TV full circle, while adding its own brand of comedy. Tim and Eric fully utilize John C. Reilly's talents to create one of the the goofiest, most off kilter shows ever conceived. The only complaint I have is that it ended too soon.
