Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories (2013–2017) User Reviews

Original

[lenny-22959 · 9/10 · 14 September 2017]

So to be honest I've just jumped in at season to watch the first two episodes and all I can say is wow. It's 100% original so they're meant to be horror episodes but it's like Cardiff comedy with a slight twist of hora yet thoroughly enjoyable. I will now go back watch season one and if it's anything like the start of season tour I should be really happy I hope you all enjoy and I've got a come up with five lines I'm just going to keep rambling on. Have a great day

Entertaining!

I watched some of their old stuff back in the day and didn't care for it. It was too weird for my taste. But Bedtime Stories is very enjoyable. It's still weird but less in your face. I found most of the episodes quirky and entertaining. Yes, still somewhat dark humor but humorous.

Watch it at least twice

It's Tim and Eric. It needs multiple viewings, not to understand but to embrace the ludicrous and surreal nature of it all. Make sure you have plenty of cannabis on hand, preferably strong sativa edibles too lol..

You can like shows like this and curb your enthusiasm, stuff on BBC, ect. It's ok I think?

Exactly what they are best at

[beccaben32 · 10/10 · 7 January 2015]

In a sentence: T&E Bedtime Stories is more subtle and less tame, exactly what they have been dying to do. Though it is only "subtle" when compared to Awesome Show Great Job. The humor is what I consider to be so far beyond bathroom humor that it has wrapped around itself and come right back to the beginning (eg. A man says something and another farts, however the punchline is not the fart ((which is too stupid to be funny)) No, the punchline is that they were making a stupid fart joke in the first place.) In this way I hope you can come to understand (and ultimately love) the geniuses that are, Tim and Eric.

Brilliant.

I don't even know how to even describe how surreal, strange, twisted and hilarious this series is. These are my favorite short films ever made. I think my personal favorite is the short where a young man gets his testicles transplanted. It's amazing... and absolutely HILARIOUS. Tim & Eric are the best at this kind of stuff. I love how dark these shorts are. They actually can be quite frightening in a weird nightmarish kind of way... (TOES). "Great job!" Tim & Eric! I want more!

Fun horror

[tenlegdragon · 8/10 · 25 September 2014]

It's not really a horror series, far as I can tell, but in the ten minutes of the first episode, it runs through a lot of the horror movie staples. It has all the bits and pieces, all the tropes of a horror story, but the context is just slightly off, so it all ends up falling into comedy. It's really clever.

There was an episode of Gintama (an anime) that had a radio program that did this same thing. It professed that it was going to be a bedtime story that would send you off to sleep guaranteed, but the execution was so off that it became a horror story.

It's really clever, when you think about it, requiring really exact joke construction. Gotta respect that. It could benefit from a longer time run or some rated R humor, but I think it's on Adult Swim so they might be pushing it as far as it will go already. I'm not sure at all what they allow.

Solid show

[chinbagdeluxe · 8/10 · 12 August 2021]

Tim and Eric aren't geniuses, but damn they can be very funny. Great show. 8/10. Also, this came out before Inside no 9.

Inside no 9

[kaosxes · 7/10 · 10 January 2021]

Inside no 9 and don't want to say anything else, I appreciate their efforts and still a good taste to watch this show.

What

[Headturner1 · 2/10 · 16 December 2021]

To be fair I couldn't stand more than like 15 minutes of the first redundant stupidity. How many times can someone go up the stairs over and over and over! Pointless and not funny!

More unfunny from the masters

[myopiczeal · 1/10 · 13 February 2022]

At least they're consistent. I don't know what's supposed to be funny, or even entertaining, about any of this. I watched four episodes, and nothing happened. It's like someone wanted to poke fun at various tropes, wrote a bunch of episodes, then passed them through Google Translate like six times. Oh, a couple of roommates use random Spanish in their dialogue. Hey, baristas and mixologists are weird, huh? Whoa, three guys secretly live in a bathroom. Oops, a bunch of people crapped themselves. Oh. Wow. And somehow they keep getting handed money to make their profoundly unfunny stupidity. Just stop. Please.

Were they good before this?

[adscarrel · 3/10 · 23 December 2020]

I love surreal humour. Ive seen theyve been compared to better. Did they do something really good before this, then get a bigger budget and famous cameos ? Pretty ship honestly. Loved by 14 year olds who grew up on them? Do a punchline then write a 10 minute drama around it? Meh. One of ems a cnt too apparently.
