Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! S3E4: Spagett (2008) #Cincothon2020

Who can resist Spagett? With his skullet/ponytail combo, marinara stained mouth, and total obliviousness... what’s not to love? 

Theme:

Continuing with Season Three’s general downer vibe, “Spagett” expands on the themes of the untrustworthiness of friendship and failure. Throughout the “Spagett” saga, we see Tim constantly exclude and belittle Eric, who endures all these humiliations silently. Even the last scene, which shows a newly defeated Tim mugging for unenthusiastic tourists puts Eric on the sidelines, where he is ultimately hidden by a crudely photoshopped plant. Tim, meanwhile, experiences a crushing failure which apparently drives him to lose all sense of identity in his quest to make himself more like Spaghett.

Hi-Lights:

My Eggs--from Cinco Dairy 

Tired of paying too much for eggs? Cinco’s here to help with “My Eggs,” a product that uses your digestive tract to grow chicken-like eggs. Of course, you do have to pass them through your rectum, and they are a disconcerting shade of acid green--oh, and cooking them apparently makes you channel all of your self-loathing and hatred. But other than that...what could be better?

Biology for Foreign Men/ “I’ve Got Chubs for You” 

It’s not an easy job teaching anatomy, but thankfully our teacher (played by Deborah Ishida who memorably portrayed Casey Tatum’s mother) has the use of visual aid. Tim and Eric, in all their rhinestone adorned, feathery haired glory sing a song delineating the fine line between a boner and a chubby.

Spagett (Part 2) 

Featuring Brian Posehn as Tim’s new sidekick, this sketch shows Eric’s visit to the set of “Spagett and the Quest for the Golden Treasure.” This bit earns its spot on the “Hi-Lights” for its use of creepy CGI on the “Spagett” daily reels. If only we could have seen more of this fantastic film...

Anatomy of an Episode:

  • Brule’s Rules: Prom 

    • Dr. Brule gives shy viewers some questionable romantic advice. 

  • Spagett (Part 1)

    • Eric learns that Tim is partnering with Steven Spielberg.

  • My Eggs--From Cinco Dairy

    • See Hi-Lights. You want eggs? You’ve got to work for them. Thankfully, Cinco makes this easier and more disgusting than you would think. 

  • Spaghett (Part 2) 

    • See Hi-Lights. Eric makes a set visit and gets to see scenes from the upcoming blockbuster. 

  • Video Match

    • This week’s Lothario is 66, has no bathroom, but can boast “many diapers, most of them clean.” But be warned: if you borrow a diaper, you must return it before you leave. 

  • Biology for Foreign Men/ “I’ve Got Chubs for You” 

    • See Hi-Lights. It’s just good pedagogical practice to use visual aids and music whenever possible, especially when you’re teaching people about the intricacies of the human penis.  

  • Chippy Interlude 

    • Chippy has invaded a hen house where a cuddle with a chick ends in tragedy. But at least it earns a “Great job!” 

  • Spaghett (Part 3) 

    • After the failure of the Spagett movie, Tim doubles down on his devotion to the character. 

  • My Celebs With Plants 

    • We are treated to an array of celebrity photos with photoshopped plants standing beside them.

Winner:

Tim takes this one home. Being Spagett can’t be an easy job, and Tim is more than ready to shoulder the burden. The world needs more people like you, Tim--people who aren’t afraid to have skullets surgically stitched to their scalps in the name of art.
