We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky. We're casual, conversational, NSFW and hopefully interesting. We hope you enjoy it.

Tim and Eric Crappy Crapful of Crap

Have you seen this Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! thing? If not, then count yourself among the lucky ones.

CRAPPY CRAP MCCRAPPERSON

Seriously, what the hell is this crap? The best I can figure is that they're trying some sort of meta surreal performance art humor thing. It's not even a goddamned animated show. It's just two guys doing random stupid bits that have no basis on anything at all. I've seen two episodes and I've yet to see them even attempt making any sort of joke. It makes Family Guy look like The Office.

I made more amusing home videos at my stoner-friend's house back in high school with a cheap video camera. All we did was jump on a trampoline, dig a moat in the backyard and give Lego men viking funerals, and chop shaken-up soda cans in half with a broadsword. Hell, the little Super 8 stop motion films I made with another friend were better than this show.

It's like everyone at Adult Swim is in a competition to see who can put in the least amount of effort and still pass it off as a show to fool the programming department to put in on the air.

Perhaps it's the universe righting itself. A kind of cosmic yin and yang thing. There can be no Light without Darkness, there an be no Good without Evil, and there can be no Awesome without Crap. That's what this show (and I use the term extremely loosely) is, the Crap to balance out the pure Awesome that is Venture Brothers. I guess it's a small price to pay.
