Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is a sketch comedy show that parodies the conventions of television and takes viewers on a bizarre and surreal ride. In season 1 episode 9, titled "Hamburger," Tim and Eric explore the world of fast food and beyond.
The episode begins with a commercial for "PepsiMax®," a fictional soda that promises to make you feel like you're in a nightclub even when you're drinking it at home. This sets the tone for the strange and absurd humor that follows.
One of the sketches features Tim and Eric as two hapless fast food employees who are trying to come up with a new menu item. They end up creating the "Triple Hamburger," which is essentially three hamburgers stacked on top of each other. The customers are not impressed, and the duo must find a way to dispose of the massive burgers before their boss finds out.
Another notable sketch is a music video for an artist named Casey Tatum. Tatum is a mulleted, mustached man who sings an ode to his love for hamburgers. He sings about how much he loves them, how they make him feel, and how he wishes he could be buried in a pile of them when he dies.
There are also various short segments that feature strange characters and bizarre situations. One example is "Dr. Wareheim," a recurring character who is a dentist that uses unconventional methods to treat his patients. In this episode, he employs a "tooth pasterizer" that involves dipping a patient's head in a vat of boiling toothpaste.
Throughout the episode, there are also various fake commercials and promos for fictional products and shows. One particularly strange example is a promo for "Coping with Uncle Jack," a show that teaches you how to deal with your creepy uncle who always wants to give you a hug.
Overall, "Hamburger" is a prime example of the weird and wonderful world of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!. It is a show that revels in absurdity and delights in making viewers uncomfortable. If you're a fan of unconventional comedy and surreal humor, this episode is definitely worth checking out.
