This is simply my favorite current comedians' "Phantom Menace".
A purplish stillborn splatting from a pus festering womb on a peepshow floor.
NOTHING in this movie hasn't been done much much much better by T&E before. Every gag here is only a fart of a gag that was once a gourmet meal gag before it got digested, ran through 2 intestines, and rectally belched out.
Name one new character here as good as Tairy Greene, Casey Tatum and His Brother, Grum, Pierre, Carol and Mr. Henderson, Steve Mahanahan, Jan and Wayne Skylar, Will Grello, Grill Vogel, The Paynus Brothers, The Beaver Boys, Dr. Steve Brule, Spagett, Jim And Derrick, or even Tim and Eric's Awesome Show personas. You couldn't, could you?
Let's talk bits. Children spiritually diarrhea-ing on Eric, supposed to be disturbing. Not disturbing; I've seen 2 Girls 1 cup, I've seen Lemonparty, I've seen a million other things online that are more disturbing. So if it's not shocking or disturbing, what is it? Funny? No. The thing that the boys have forgotten is to take their bits into absurd, original areas. The Poop Tube/D- Pants/Diarrheaphragm/Diarrheabetes are funny because they go far beyond the easy potty joke.
Let's talk fights. Tim has just had sex with Eric's crush, they fight; they do silly gag punches and kicks, Eric dunks Tim's head in the mall fountain a couple of times. That's the big fight; and I get it, the joke is that it isn't a big fight, but that joke isn't very funny. In the last episode of season 2, T&E fight, same silly gag punches and kicks; only Eric rips out Tim's heart, takes a bite of it, and shoves it Tim's mouth. That's what I call a funny fight! What has happened since then? Everything T&E have done up until now has been a progression. I thought this was a film for their fans? How did they become so lazy?
Let's talk great one-liners and catch phrases. Oh, there aren't any.
Let's talk the great, memorable songs we've come to expect. Is the Shrim song, or Two Horses, Or DobisPR as good as Bub Bubs, All The Food Is Poison, Sit On You, Come Over, Just A Dream, Hamburgers And Hot Dogs, Live With My Dad, and so on? ABSOLUTELY not! Tim's recent Herman Cain and Madonna Superbowl songs are a million times better.
The Movie Watching Chair already done much much better as The Sleepwatching Chair.
S'wallow Valley Mall commercial already done much better as the Premium/Discount Prices commercial.
Masturbation joke. Already done much better in American Beauty/Due Date/Happiness.
So much repetition, more than I care to list. No ambition, no progression, no innovation.
The direction is boring, two camera stuff; the Awesome Show camera boys are better at composing frames. Eric Wareheim's music videos are far beyond what is here.
The goofs and spoofs are tired, subtle-ized retreads.
The cinematography is less professional than the faux professional bits on the Awesome Show. Really awful key lighting (look it up, kiddies).
The facial expressions, awkward pauses, odd edits; are again, not even close to what has come before.
The only times, I repeat, the only times I have found John C. Reilly, Zach Galifianakis, and Will Ferrell laugh out loud funny was on Awesome Show or T&E's Funny Or Die bits, and those laughs were not to be found here.
The only bit I laughed at was Tim's mom's mention of chili dogs...
I repeat to people who say you'll like this film if you are already a fan, you must be a real dim bulb or something!
The thing that makes me most sad is how they've perfectly parodied the worst in entertainment; lame stand-up comics, SNL, Jay Leno, Hollywood blockbusters, Robin Williams, the Shrek films, etc. And now they've made something just as ABSOLUTELY HORRID as the things they mock and despise.
