Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, known collectively as Tim & Eric, are an American comedy duo and creators of the Adult Swim television series ''Tom Goes to the Mayor'', ''Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!'', ''Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule'', and ''Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories''. Wareheim and Heidecker met in 1994 at Temple University in Philadelphia, becoming instant friends. They began producing a number of short low-budget films and cartoons for their website. Their short entitled ''Tom Goes to the Mayor'' was selected by the Philadelphia Institute of World Cinema as a short film and was included in The University of Pennsylvania's Institute of Contemporary Art. In 2001, the two compiled a tape of many of their shorts and submitted it to various comedic heroes, including ''Mr. Show''s Bob Odenkirk, who reacted to their work with enthusiasm and agreed to collaborate with them on a pilot of ''Tom Goes to the Mayor'', which was submitted to and greenlit by Adult Swim and adapted as a series. It appeared on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and ran for two seasons. They have then created another Adult Swim program, ''Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!'', which ran for five seasons and established a major cult following for the duo. They have also released a CD with music from ''Awesome Show'' entitled ''Tim and Eric Awesome Record, Great Songs!'' and in 2012 they released a feature film, ''Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie''. The duo's work is known for its distinctive and often grotesque nature, typically featuring "bad fashions, worse hair, intentionally stilted line readings, takes that linger two seconds too long, and an intense attention to the tchotchkes and hobbies everyday people substitute for personalities." Their projects often feature amateur performers and intentionally crude or tacky production values, which have been inspired by public access television. ==Early years and internet shorts== Heidecker was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He attended Allentown Central Catholic High School and Temple University. Wareheim was born in Philadelphia; he graduated from Methacton High School in Norristown, Pennsylvania and then later attended Temple University, where he met his comedy partner Tim Heidecker and produced his first film about dads, shot on the Jersey shore. They soon created TimAndEric.com in 2002, a website designed to display their comedic talents.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tim & Eric」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
