Ask Eric!

[CosmicHalitosis]

I wasn't accusing...just wondering! I'm over-analytic as hell.
I'm ChordProgressio...So...thanks for considering my tweet.

A few more less significant questions:

1. What were the best bands you saw at Coachella?

2. Do you like toasted PB+J?

3. If I gave you a brief description of a comic my friend are writing would you give me a brief opinion, please?

4. I'm just figuring out Twitter...any suggestions on who to follow? The people i'd like to don't seem to have it or i'm really bad at finding people.

Hi, Eric! Hi.

Sometimes my band performs "Poke On" spontaneously at our awesome shows (adequate job!) Sure we do all the requisite "rockstar" stuff like huffing freon off of local model's butt cheeks, and shower in imported bottled water from the River Ganges -- but we also have ethics. So, how do we send you your legally entitled Poke On royalties?

[CosmicHalitosis]

ahh nevermind about the comic. it's been put on hold because of some jerks...

Some jerks are such jerks, brah!

Hi Eric,
Will there be an Awesome Con this summer (2011?)?

How's the love life eh eh?

Hello Eric,

I've watched Tim Heidecker's stand up comedy videos on Youtube and greatly enjoyed them. How did he write and prepare for them? Did he run his material past you and practice in front of you? Do you know where he looked for inspiration?

[LookImPushingOn]

Hi Eric

A few (overwrought and lengthy!) questions.... Have you guys ever gotten any shit for building a lot of your humor on wacky people who, some might say, don't know that people are laughing at them and are the subject of mocking? I don't feel this way (you guys seem too intelligent and respectful for that kind of thing), but I just wonder if you've ever heard this as a complaint from people... e.g. David LH and Quall are obviously the real deal and don't have to act the weirdness like you and tim do. Have you guys ever felt like you've exploited anybody for laughs, and do you think that that kind of making fun of/exploitation of oblivious people is permissible?

Another...Do you and Tim feel like celebrities? I've noticed lots of fans on this 'Ask Eric' board have this sort of assuming "I get you, I wanna come to your studio and smoke pot with you, would it be ok if i saw you on the street if I could yell steve brule quotes at you and take you out for dinner?!" Do you wish there were more of a barrier between you and the public?

Finally.... Are you happy with your 'career' path? Lots of people seem to have these vague pipedreams of "moving to LA and making it in the business doing comedy" without any real/new/genuine creative offering or plan. But its clearly an inconceivably difficult thing to do and to be successful. Do you think that all the hard work you and Tim have put into breaking into this world has paid off? That is, do you feel fulfilled doing what youre doing,? Would you change anything about it, and if you were doing any other career/life right now, what would it be?

sorry for the long-windedness....and I hate to be gushy or fanboy-like, but seriously thank you for all the stuff you do, its a really refreshing source of authenticity that obviously requires a lot of work...thanks!

Question 1: Is Tim and Eric TV going to be streamed live on the internet or is it going to broadcast on national TV or both?

Question 2: Is Tim and Eric TV going to be a collection or a compilation of all the best videos from Timanderic.com like Encounters, Action Warriors of Destruction, My 2 Fathers, etc.?

Question 3: Any thoughts on online games like Team Fortress 2?

Question 4: Personally, what do you think is the best retirement plan EVER?

[DrippingsVithGoo]

Question 1: Curious - Do you like to cook? If so, what do you make? If not, are there at least one or two things you make well?

Question 2: Do you see yourself directing with Tim as a duo for a long time (e.g. the Coen Brothers) , or do you envision yourself eventually branching out and directing on your own? Do you ever plan to tackle other genres such as drama, suspense, etc.?

[Amazedkiwiduct]

Hi Eric!

I have to ask - did you and Tim base the Breadhead characters on your own, more extreme female fan base?

Thank you!

[Dilbert Hernandez]

Hey Eric, I just wanted to know how Patrick Melcher ended up in the Jim and Derrick episode! Also, was he totally awesome and in on the joke? Thanks for answering, I like you and your comedy, and I am excited for Tim and Eric TV and your new movie. Peace out, brah.

[heresyourchippy]

Hello Eric,
I was wondering if there is any subliminal messaging hidden in TAEASGJ that would cause me to have these strong desires to know what your manhood looks like?
Also, if at any point in time, you are filled with the need to reproduce, I am readily available. I must warn you, we might have to try several times to ensure a planted seed, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

[Coldsoda]

Yo Eric! I see you're into hardcore music. Has anyone told you that you look like Vincent Bennett from The Acacia Strain?

[Rappy]

Eric will you watch my Video?
Thank you!

[MattLikesSpaghetti]

Hello, Eric! I was wondering, how did you guys get the idea to make Season Cinco darker and more nightmareish then past seasons of Awesome Show?

[Wearfare]

Is Eric still taking more questions? Maybe, he's still doing the 'Billion Dollar Movie' with Tim...then he can get to the questions again.

[SugarHeart]

What do you think of the movie "Eraserhead"?

[GotYaSpookedYa]

Before I ask my question, I want you to know that I love you both very much. Eric, I need you to look after Tim. And Tim, promise me you'll always love your dad, 'cause he loves you.

Now, a few episodes of TAEASGJ (like "Anniversary") featured a favorite voice actor of mine, Ron Lynch, whom I had heard on TGTTM and Home Movies (he's a regular with Williams Street, I think). I know you guys got the privilege of working with many awesome vocal talents like Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, and I wondered if you had ever considered Emo Philips for either TGTTM or TAEASGJ. He's by far my favorite voice actor, and I thought he'd be ideal for the show.

I haven't been able to catch you guys live anywhere, but I'll surely be on the lookout when I move to Madison.

Thanks a lot. Platonic XOXOs

Have you seen Frankie MacDonald? Best weatherman in the world.

Check it out from his own TV station live from Sydney, Nova Scotia.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQf1RQA-GjA&sns=em

Your awesome show is indeed an awesome show and Frankie just might be able to add value.

You soar with the eagles and Tim sucks cheese weenies.

There, I said it.

[EayTiger]

Eric, let me begin by saying that you and Tim are my heroes, and I love all of your work. Also, I'd like to apologize in advanced if either of my questions are repeated. (I seriously tried to read every question, to avoid this altogether, but people ask you A LOT of questions man.)

1. In the tgttm episode "The Layover" how is it that Tom, Tom's dad, and the Mayor were able to make it onto the Springeton Flight? And why is Tom behaving so strangely? Are we not supposed to understand, or did I miss something there?

2. Also, I'm really excited for what you guys have planned for the future, have you guys started shooting anything for the Bedtime Stories show?

Thanks for your time man, keep doing what you guys do best.
