Featured review
Tim Heidecker. Oh you little genius.
A friend of mine told me to check this little "special" out and see if it belongs within the strange pantheon of Heidecker's previous work. For those of you familiar with Tim and Eric, Steve Brule and Tom Goes to the Mayor, then you will know what you are in for. Unfortunately, I'm sure the crowd was not ready for the performance, but hey, they might have had an inkling into what was happening.
Heidecker basically pulled a big meta commentary on washed up comics. The jokes were bland, he complained about PC culture and did all the things that some whiney conservative man babies like Jerry Seinfeld and Todd Phillips have been complaining about. He proves once again that talent and inventiveness is necessary for comedy. If anything, Heidecker is an OG of this type of comedy, even though Sacha Baron Cohen and Eric Andre have surpassed him. But rather than complain about the state of "woke" society Heidecker keeps doing stuff to compete and stay relevant, such as doing a hackneyed comedy "special" like this or doing a series of commercials for Purple mattresses or heck, playing a courtroom series as perfectly straight.
I doubt few will get this special, but for those that found this bizarre take on comedy refreshing, then check this weird show out.
