What Parents Need to Know
This review of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! was written by Sierra Filucci
Parents need to know that this quirky skit series features cross-dressers, pot smokers, slurring TV personalities, and prank callers. While the content is aimed toward adults and mature teens, the humor is lighthearted and clever and doesn't tend to go overboard with potentially offensive material. That said, there's some mild sexual innuendo and graphics featuring wiggling tongues. The show's surreal elements -- such as a miniature person who makes strange noises and pops up in people's mouths -- could be potentially upsetting to younger kids.

More on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!
What’s the Story?
Twisted comedy duo Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim's variety show on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network's late-night line up for adults) is chock full of weird stuff. Staged as a public-access-style TV series, the program features the comedians as exaggerated live-action and animated characters in bizarre skits featuring karaoke, prank calls, and newscasters. Highly regarded comedians like John C. Reilly and Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show) make guest appearances. Skits run the gamut, content-wise, and can include everything from drug references to sexual innuendo.
Is It Any Good?
Obviously this style of comedy isn't for everyone, but it's clever, original stuff that teens and adult fans of quirky humor will enjoy. That said, this particular brand of humor seems to emerge from a very narrow set of comedians, because women and non-Caucasians are rarely seen.

The best skit show out there!
This show is amazing! Though it is extremely odd and weird, it is the one show that is like this that doesn't repulse you! It makes you want more! It is a addicting, random funny show that is just superb Adult Swim comedy! Though it does have uncensored words like a--hole and g--ammit, and some rare sexual content like discussion of body parts and sex, it is really a fun, awesome, (hence the name) show for pre-teens and up!

Tim and Eric Awesome show can have some really funny skits at times, however- most of the stuff featured on the show is definitely NOT for anyone under the age of 18. Loads of sexual innuendos and suggestive sexual movements. Fake blood, gore and violence and sexual preferences that some may find very offensive. Let's put it this way- for every skit that is actually funny (random stupidity to put it mildly) there are 5 skits that are offensive or just plain STUPID. Parents should definitely BEWARE.

Really stupid in a really funny way
I think this show is so stupid it's funny. It doesn't have a whole lot of bad content like shows have these days. I'd probably say it has the same content as Saturday Night Live has or Mad TV. I'd probably say for 13+

Tim and Eric Awesome Show is F*#&$ING AWESOME
Honestly if you have your kids up at 1:30am your already not the greatest parent(s)but, if you appreciate that absurdity that is american television you will love the pokes and prodes Tim and Eric poke at just about everything. The greatest part is their satires are as convincing as the real things, their fake QVC ads and all the CINCO commercials are histerical. The best is they do all their own music "TOTALLY AWESOME VACATION" is one of the best songs ever just because it's 1988 vintage and they nail it. If you tape it however and watch it with your children under 14 some might find it really funny but it shoots over most of their heads, but some kids are more mature than others so i wouldn't say it's inappropriate but if your a controlling christian psychopath then definately not for your family. If your open to laugh at the world and your kids have a higher IQ than former president bush then you might enjoy it tremendously, it's become my favorite show.
