The first 20 minutes or so of this episode was surprisingly funny. I thought Tim and Eirc were pretty funny being "themselves" and making things up as they went along. I think the introduction of the character threw them off. I usually love whatever James does, and I am sure his impression of this guy was spot on, but it just didn't work. Whether that's because the vibe in the room was off, or he wasn't getting anything to play off of the first 10 minutes he was on, he couldn't extend his story. I thought I could feel him trying to egg someone on to give him something to work with, but got nothing.
That said, can someone please fill me in on Tim and Eric. I guess its "alternative," which is great, but I found them more funny in the beginning just making stuff up, than those god awful songs. Were they supposed to funny or dumb or neither, or is that joke? I just don't get it.
As a side note, how do these two people have a movie coming out and Brett Gelman doesn't. I probably have laughed more at iBrain than anything in my life. As a side side note, I really wish Scott would a "behind the scenes" blog on that episode. I really don't think anyone in the room saw that coming.
