Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is an American sketch comedy television series, created by and starring Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, which premiered February 11, 2007 on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim comedy block[1] and ran until May 2010. The program features surrealistic and often satirical humor (at points anti-humor), public-access television-style musical acts, bizarre faux-commercials, and editing and special effects chosen to make the show appear camp.
The program has featured a wide range of actors, spanning from big name stars such as Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly and Zach Galifianakis, to alternative comedians like Neil Hamburger, to television actors like Alan Thicke, celebrity look-alikes and impressionists.

Halfway through the broadcasting of the first season, Cartoon Network picked up Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! for another season ordering as many as 30 new episodes.[4] The second season began airing on November 18, 2007. Season one was released on DVD in April, 2008. The third season began on July 27, 2008 and ended on September 28, 2008. Eric posted a MySpace bulletin Oct 1, 2008, announcing that as a “holiday surprise” season four would be airing in January 2009. The show was later renewed for a fifth season.[5]
One of Tim and Eric’s first live performances incorporating characters from Awesome Show was Muscles for Bones, a spoof telethon seeking bones for Richard Dunn.[6] This was performed at Troubadour nightclub in West Hollywood, California.[7] Major portions of this live performance were incorporated into season three, episode 8 “Muscles for Bones“.[8] An extended version of this show can be found as an extra on the Season 3 DVD. The extended version features performances not seen on the original TV episode, from performers such as Pierre and Watch Movies For Free Online Michael Q. Schmidt. Prior to the beginning of seasons two and three, Tim and Eric combined “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” Live in Vegas (2007). The second of these, listed as season 3 episode 0, shared their 2008 cross-country tour[9][10][11][12] and was titled Awesome Tour Live 2008.[13]
Speaking with Vanity Fair in July 2009, Wareheim said that season five (or “Season Cinco”) would represent “a very dark side of the Awesome Show series. I think people are going to be very scared and very disturbed by it.”[14] He also noted that the pair draw equal humor from the awkwardness of The Office as they do from the awkwardness of David Lynch’s films.[14] The duo went on to state that they had begun an unconscious tradition by starting the first episode of seasons two, three, and four each with fecal-related fake commercials; they plan to “outdo” themselves on season five with a “diarrhea disease”-based commercial.[14] The fifth season premiered on February 28, 2010. The series finale aired on May 2, 2010. On May 16, 2010 the spin-off Check it Out! premiered.[15]
