I love Awesome Show but Tom Goes To The Mayor is peak Tim and EricMaybe it was Bob Odenkirk being on their ass while making it, but it’s really unique and different even now. There was never another show like it. So low key but also completely over the top absurd.
>>216151646It's a fantastic parody of terrible small American cities and suburbs. The fact that Jefferton is completely flat and featureless is perfect for the soulless vibe they're going for. I also love Tom's shitty house. It's a little too real sometimes if you're from a place like that
>>216151847and tom peters is the best satire of the pathetic modern man, so desperate for validation and afraid of confrontation he lets it ruin his already awful life
>>216151974Indeed, he is actually my wife's sons: the character. It's a cliche but you couldn't make this today
I cant stand the faggot Tim Heidecker but I still love Tom Goes to The Mayor.Also favorite misspellings?For me its>Taumpy Tears
>>216152013I feel like if it was made today it would fall into meme cliches trying to make a character like tom, it was basically uncharted territory at the time.
Obscure reference to Welcome to Hard Times, hmmmm
>>216151847no other show captures the depressing, trashy vibe of a decaying suburban town quite like TGTTM does. it's brilliant. I think Awesome Show has higher peaks of comedy, but TGTTM just soaks you in this atmosphere.
>>216151847The government being represented by three old men that don’t care about anything just dreading to go to their meetings at a local buffet chain, and the mayor being basically a chaotic demon that only wants the worst for everyone and particularly goes after the one guy in town with any ideas about improving anything
>>216151646RATS OFF TO YA!
RIM RIM RIM
I really wish you would stop posting here, Tim.It's pathetic.
>>216152818I mean, you tried I guess..

>>216152896>uh yeah sam hyde had a show yeahh mmmm yeah I don’t care
>>216151646>I love Awesome Show but Tom Goes To The Mayor is peak Tim and Ericfuck off Tim you were the worst thing to happen to Adult Swim
>>216153148This. AS was such a magical thing before that moron Lazzo got in bed with the two biggest hacks in "comedy." It depresses the fuck out of me just thinking about it.
>>216151847>>216151974terrible and flat and featureless and soulless were accurate words to describe Jefferton in 2005 but in 2025, shit like Pioneer Island and the hot air balloon race and Hoboton and the Couple's Cruise is SOVL AS FVCK. Gen X didn't know how good they had it.Tom and Joy's delipidated shanty is 1000x more sovl than a new age gray vinyl flooring featureless plastic Austin or Miami condo built in 2024 with no fireplace, no carpets, no brass picture frames framing a cheap painting a Neo Raphaelite angel, no floral wallpaper, no garage, no front lawn, no sprinkler, no fish shower curtain, no dinosaur poster, etc.
>>216152161If it was made today it would have less than a thousand views on youtube, as it deserves.
>>216153413You know what would make people laugh, Tim? If you killed yourself. It would be the most hilarious thing you ever did.
