''Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!'' is an American sketch comedy television series, created by and starring Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, which premiered February 11, 2007 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim comedy block〔(Turner Newsroom ) Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Fact Sheet〕 and ran until May 2010. The program features surrealistic and often satirical humor (at points anti-humor), public-access television–style musical acts, bizarre faux-commercials, and editing and special effects chosen to make the show appear camp. The program featured a wide range of actors, spanning from stars such as Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Will Forte and Zach Galifianakis to alternative comedians like Neil Hamburger, to television actors like Alan Thicke, celebrity look-alikes and impressionists. The creators of the show have described it as "the nightmare version of television."〔 ==Overview== The show, which expands the genre of the live-action material featured in Heidecker and Wareheim's previous show, ''Tom Goes to the Mayor'', consists of sketches, songs, and commercials. It features several characters and segments seen in ''Tom Goes to the Mayor'', such as Gibbons, the "Channel 5 Married News Team," and the Cinco Corporation with its variety of inefficient and tasteless products. New recurring characters and sketches include "Uncle Muscles Hour," a public-access television variety program hosted by a gravelly-voiced "Weird Al" Yankovic and Channel 5 News Correspondent Dr. Steve Brule, played by John C. Reilly. The show featured a variety of celebrity cameos from actors, comedians, and musicians including Fred Armisen, Maria Bamford, Ed Begley, Jr., Corbin Bernsen, The Bird and the Bee, Karen Black, Michael Ian Black, Abbey Brooks, LeVar Burton, Michael Cera, Peter Cetera, Stephanie Courtney, David Cross, Elisha Cuthbert, Ted Danson, Patrick Duffy, Richard Dunn, John Ennis, Tami Erin, Will Ferrell, Flight of the Conchords, Will Forte, Black Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Jeff Goldblum, Josh Groban, Michael Gross, Bill Hader, Neil Hamburger, David Liebe Hart, Jonah Hill, Karen O, Tom Kenny, The Lonely Island, Ron Lynch, Marilyn Manson, Doug Martsch, Richard Marx, John Mayer, Jack McBrayer, A.D.

The series' theme music was composed by Davin Wood, who had also composed the theme music for the earlier ''Tom Goes to the Mayor'', and for related series ''Derek & Simon'', ''American Misfits'', ''Stupidface'', and ''Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Davin Wood )〕 Halfway through the broadcasting of the first season, Cartoon Network picked up ''Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!'' for another season ordering as many as 30 new episodes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=SuicideGirls Interview with Tim and Eric )〕 The second season began airing on November 18, 2007. Season one was released on DVD in April, 2008. The third season began on July 27, 2008 and ended on September 28, 2008. Eric posted a MySpace bulletin Oct 1, 2008, announcing that as a "holiday surprise" season four would be airing in January 2009. The show was later renewed for a fifth season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Adult Swim Schedule )〕 One of Tim and Eric's first live performances incorporating characters from ''Awesome Show'' was ''Muscles for Bones'', a spoof telethon seeking bones for Richard Dunn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tim and Eric )〕 This was performed at Troubadour nightclub in West Hollywood, California.〔http://www.timanderic.com/images/mfb_flyer.jpg〕 Major portions of this live performance were incorporated into season three, episode 8 "''Muscles for Bones''". An extended version of this show can be found as an extra on the Season 3 DVD. The extended version features performances not seen on the original TV episode, from performers such as Pierre and Michael Q. Schmidt. Prior to the beginning of seasons two and three, Tim and Eric combined "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" Live in Vegas (2007). The second of these, listed as season 3 episode 0, shared their 2008 cross-country tour〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Adult Swim's Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Hits the Road: Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Tour 2008 Kicks Off in Boston on April 21 )〕〔http://www.timanderic.com/images/awsometourflyer08.jpg〕 and was titled ''Awesome Tour Live 2008''. Speaking with ''Vanity Fair'' in July 2009, Wareheim said that season five (or "Season Cinco") would represent "a very dark side of the ''Awesome Show'' series. I think people are going to be very scared and very disturbed by it."〔''Vanity Fair'' article: "(Q&A: Tim and Eric on Child Abuse, Diarrhea, and Yerba-Mate Tea )".〕 He also noted that the pair draw equal humor from the awkwardness of ''The Office'' as they do from the awkwardness of David Lynch's films.〔 The duo went on to state that they had begun an unconscious tradition by starting the first episode of seasons two, three, and four each with fecal-related fake commercials; they plan to "outdo" themselves on season five with a "diarrhea disease"-based commercial.〔 The fifth season premiered on February 28, 2010. The series finale aired on May 2, 2010. On May 16, 2010 the spin-off ''Check it Out!'' premiered. Tim and Eric acquired funding to shoot and air a one hour special that aired on December 5, 2010, called ''The Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job Chrimbus Special''. Simultaneous to this announcement, the duo also released a list of dates and cities for their upcoming 2010 tour. Tim and Eric also announced plans for a movie, entitled ''Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie''; in the film, released online and on pay-per-view on January 27, 2012, the pair try to revitalize a run–down mall in order to pay a billion-dollar debt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012) )〕 Following the release of the movie, they may make additional seasons of ''Awesome Show''.〔(Tim and Eric Celebrate Chrimbus and Talk Tour, 'SNL' and a Possible Season 6 )〕 The duo's Abso Lutely Productions signoff bumper features a video clip of Heidecker's father during a family vacation in 1991; when asked to sum the trip up in two words, he responded "Abso-lutely." The full clip can be found on their website, DVD, and also on YouTube. 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 and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
