It's amazing how dog shit comedy was in the late 90's early aughts until Tim and Eric came along and paved the way for ironic humor. (hexbear.net)

Edgy dipshit "comedians" that wanted to violently murder Barney in the 90's then shitty dude bro family guy humor in the early aughts.

I remember first seeing Tom Goes To The Mayor on adultswim and it being like a breath of fresh air. It felt like finally someone got how absurd it is to live in small town america.

there was a lot of great alt comedy in the 90s with stuff like The State and Mr. Show. I'd argue that shows like that really paved the way for Tim & Eric (in fact, T&E got their big break thanks to Bob Odenkirk who produced Tom Goes to the Mayor)

Tim & Eric definitely brought that type of comedy more into the mainstream until it was no longer "alt" anymore. because yeah, at the time Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia were the biggest names in comedy

I was a kid during Mr. Show so I never got to see it but Bob Odenkirk is fantastic in literally anything he does.
