"Cinco" Reasons Anyone Should Love Tim and Eric

With Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie on the way, I feel there will now be three camps in the Tim and Eric debate. In the ongoing Tim and Eric debate you have two camps, "Pep-pep's" and misguided Chippies who don't like Tim and Eric. This articles for the Pep-pep's to give to their misguided Chippies to potentially (although not likely as they are closed minded) sway their opinion on perhaps one of the greatest comedy duo's of our time. So let's start with...............(cough).........................................

CINCO!

CINCO products celebrate all that is great about those cheesy nostalgic late night commercials on the television. The offers are too good to be true, the products are often nonsensical and have no practical use, and buying them only makes you a worse individual....so yeah it's pretty much like the real commercials. By the way that's an Apple III in the video there.

It's Like A Nightmare You Had As A Child!

That's the best way I can describe it. If you can remember when you were a kid, there was a lot of s*** you didn't get. Seemingly harmless things tended to scare you, awkward moments made you feel nervous, and loud noises sent you through the roof. This odd, surreal, feeling is something that David Lynch made famous, and Tim and Eric made funny. Think the comparison is way out of left field? Look at the two below.

Cameo's!

Will Forte, Rainn Wilson, Ted Danson, Paul Rudd, David Cross, Bill Hader, Patton Oswalt, Jonah Hill, Marilyn Manson, John Mayer, Zach Galifinakis, John C. Reilly, Flight of the Conchords, Will Ferrell, Danny Trejo, The Shins, Ben Stiller, Levar Burton, Michael Cera, Weird Al Yankovich, Jeff motherf****** Goldblum...and someone you thought had zero sense of humor...spiritual singer Josh Groban.

The Genius of Bob Odenkirk

If it wasn't for Bob Odenkirk Tim and Eric wouldn't be the people they are today. Who is Bob Odenkirk you say? Oh he's no big deal...he's just been a writer for Saturday Night Live (80's), Get A Life, The Ben Stiller Show, The Dennis Miller Show, and of course the critically acclaimed Mr. Show.

He helped Tim and Eric get their start with their first show Tom Goes to The Mayor (also hilarious) and is a frequent contributor to Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! Among his numerous creations it was he who invented the infamous Chris Farley character Matt Foley, motivational speaker. Hell if that's not enough prove this guy's comedy is gold, check out his character on Breaking Bad!

It's Funny, and Even When It's Not You Still Laugh.

This is the genius of Tim and Eric. Either you laugh because you think it's funny, or it's so awkwardly terrible that you have to laugh anyway because you don't know what else to do. It's a post-modern, chic, anti-humor that even television commercials are starting to steal (Old Spice and every other ad like it).

You can say Tim and Eric is stupid, but in all honesty if you think that you've never watched the show, and if you did, it was to prove to a friend that you would hate it. Maybe it's not your taste, and that's fine to say...but don't you ever call it stupid....ever....unless it's stupid then it's okay.

FUNNY!

WEIRD AND AWKWARD + NOT FUNNY= FUNNY!

By the way the music is pretty epic. Thank you for reading, I love you and I wish you the best.
