They do strike me as a kind of latter-day Monty Python.

Those guys couldn't clean the toilets of the Monty Python cast.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Your laserlike focus is as good as ever, LeHah, but my point was that they are counterculture, that they experiment, and that they look to have popularity in the future because of it.

They're as counterculture as anything you can find on SomethingAwful or 4Chan "Inspirational Poster" knockoffs. They're humorous for the ill-equipt and self-assured idiot; a spit and a shake from Family Guy, the only difference being Family Guy references something directly for its cut-away joke punchline, while Tim & Eric simply take "internet absurd" premise alone.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But thats the thing. I *have* seen it all before - its that dumb "internet irreverence humor" that common folk find so funny. Its for the crowd who misuse the word "irony", really.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yes it is. Its this rampant cynic crap for idiots, assholes and people who were beat up by jocks in high school. Its catered to people who think they're smarter than they actually are and who have no understanding that what they're watching *isn't* a joke, since theres no damn punchline. At best its an ancedote, but even then that certainly doesn't define the sweeping majority of this shit. Its cute ideas done with a pinch of creativity and mixed with a generous helping of internet perspective.

Heres what it boils down to - if you like this kind of crap, I'll never find another good thing to say about you ever again. Its awful, stupid shit for awful, stupid people.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
