With Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, Tim and Eric created an environment where they could do literally anything and it didn't matter. Beyond a few repeat characters and skits, the episodes didn't link at all and neither did the individual parts of each episode. Whereas with Check it Out, we have a "normal" set up and flow to each episode. Whether or not this is better or worse is up to opinion, but one thing is for sure, it's completely hilarious.

Steve Brule was never one of my favorite characters from Awesome Show, I preferred the the oddballs like Richard Dunn, David Liebe Hart and James Quall, but this show managed to round him out more and give him more quirks and nuances that are infinitely hysterical. Every guest he has he mispronounces their names, he's always cut off mid-sentence and he has some severe family problems, but miraculously these jokes make me crack up each and every time. Just as in Awesome Show, the comedic timing and editing is spot on, and this time it even further parodies every local access show ever made perfectly. If I didn't know about it, I could easily see it playing on a local channel.

The new characters more than hold a candle to the old, and are probably some of my favorite parts of every episode. Whether its Doug Prispreed's confusing sport reports, Terry Bruge Hiplo's offpaced movie reviews or Carol Krabit's useless predictions, I'm dying from laughter every time. Where do they get these people!?

Adding structure to comedy like Tim and Eric's seems like an oxymoron, but it works, maybe not for everyone, but for me. I cant judge which I like more, because for me I consider this just an extension on the Awesome Show. One thing is for sure about both, on first glimpse it looks like it was thrown together sloppily in minutes, but there is actually comedic reasoning and timing for every joke, every bad edit and every cut in and cut out. Tim and Eric create a tedious form of awful quality like no one else, and their shows make me laugh like no one else's.

I absolutely love the show and I have to say that this didn't disappoint whatsoever. It's basically the contents of the shows formed around a coherent plot. The story is basic, Tim and Eric are given $1,000,000,000 to make a movie, but spend it all away by accident. They then leave to S'wallow Valley to run a failing mall as they are hunted down by Shlaang Co. (who lent them the money). For a 90 minute movie, there is tons of content in this. From the hilarious opening Shlaaang Super Chair ad, to "Johnny Depp"'s Diamond short film, to Top Gun, to "Understanding Your Movie", to Shrim, it's got it all. I laughed hysterically at this movie, maybe more than I have at any comedy. Though I will admit, certain points of the main plot dragged on, or were too not random, the overall movie will not disappoint fans of the show. There's not much else to say other than go and see this movie, you'll love it if you love the show and maybe even if you haven't seen the show before.
