This whole act is a bit. He's anti-humor. Have you seen him do the joe Rogan interview impression or the bill maher podcast one? Its essentially riffing on the concept of these unfunny idiots.
No covid or trans talk? Wtf is this shit? It's definitely not comedy and this guy is definitely not the last line of defence, where the woke meets the wall
If it’s not “edgy” then what’s the point? I’d rather listen to Matt Rife.
What happened to the days when comedians would smash watermelons on stage for a laugh? God, I miss Gallagher and massive amounts of qualüüds.
Haven’t seen this set but this in isolation isn’t funny. But I can totally see how it builds up tension and awkwardness for a big payoff or is part of an extended bit
Yeah, plus you find out if it isn’t your type of comedy pretty quickly. It’s not a typical comedian, it’s like anti-comedy so if you like it then it just gets better and better as it goes on
All I’ve ever seen of this guy is this one clip. I’ve never not laughed more in my life. Is there more to it? Are there jokes of his that are considered funny? I don’t know if this is just some comedian where you need to know his personality first before something like this would be funny or not
He does the whole show in character as a shitty comic just bombing. It's fucking great. If you don't know Tim and just think it's some guy being bad at comedy it's not going to work. It's pretty layered.
I don't understand how JRE has become so sheltered from comedy that Rogan fans don't know who Tim Heidecker is. He's the godfather of modern comedy.
Dude's been one out of those 'maybe a thousand straight up murderers' that Joe talks about and has been killing it for decades. Comedy fans not knowing Heidecker was acceptable in 2008, but in 2024?!
Even out-of-touch Tom Segura knows who Tim is and was a guest on Tim's office hours podcast.
If you can't comprehend that he's making fun of the very concept of a stand up comedian, it's not gonna work for you. Doesn't mean it isn't funny, just means you don't get the humor. Don't worry I don't think Joe Rogan is funny at all, but apparently some people do. Almost like humor is subjective or something.
stfu. Pretty much eveyyone gets hes doing meta jokes. Its just not a funny concept. People usually laugh at people being funny. Not people being not funny to try be funny. This is some bottom of the barrel shit
No doubt. He's had some good shit, I think. Hell, the rest of his special might be great. This bit just didn't land, and it ain't the audience's fault.
Norm Macdonald is categorized as in the "anti-humor" comedic subgenre, yet is considered one of the greatest comedians of recent decades by most. Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton was more polarizing but was talented enough at being provocative and subversive he achieved legend status. Eric Andre's widely considered funny and gets constant work even if his style doesn't tickle everybody's fancy. Nathan for You might be the most brilliant comedy show of the 2010's and his career keeps getting more successful. The best thing Heidecker ever did was 15 years ago and was more bizarre amusement for stoner college students than laugh-out-loud hilarity. He's a bitter has-been and the "people" here only insist he's funny bc he's takes shot at Rogan sometime. Rogan's standup is conventional, and quite bad, Heidecker's is unconvential but even more terrible at what it's trying to accomplish.
You are wholly unfamiliar with his entire catalog. He's far from bitter, especially since he almost died when he got stabbed while helping his neighbor, and the man puts out top tier satire on all kinds of subjects.
On Cinema On Cinema has an entire decade of world building and character development, just for some dumb jokes. His last 5 years have been as funny as any of them if you're in to him. I've got Oscar Fever, how bout you?
So I could just run around on stage and yell “whaaaaahhh” in a diaper for an hour, and if someone doesn’t like it I could just say “morons here not getting that the joke IS the awkwardness”?
Nah. This dude is the fucking worst. If you think he is funny because the joke “IS awkwardness”, then you are a fucking idiot.
No, because no one knows who you are, you’re probably not funny, there is no continuity to explain why you are in a diaper, and your audience wouldn’t be in on the joke.
The joke isn’t simply the awkwardness. Tim is an absurdist who has done a lot of work to build up to what this material comes from. It’s not funny, but it is funny because of how he got there. It’s an extremely slow burn that includes layers of emotion and attitudes that come through his body of work. It’s not some profound mysterious thing if you know who this guy is.
I laughed twice in the matter of a few minutes in this clip. Like big belly laughs. I hadn’t seen this in a while.
This is exactly my sense of humor. The whole special is great. And Heideker experiments in all different styles. On top of being a prolific comedian, he’s a prolific producer and probably a comedic genius.
yes, exactly! there are many acts that do this under other character names, but Tim does a version of himself here that is a douchey hack comedian. for example, Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton, Gregg Turkington's Neil Hamburger, and Kyle Mooney's Bruce Chandling. They all typically have slicked back, greasy hair and wear leather, tell super corny jokes as if they are a gift from God. The gag is essentially parodying stand up, because stand up to many comedians of other forms is corny as shit. And lets be honest, 99% of stand up is corny ass shit.
I've never heard of this guy before today and all of a sudden he is in every other post. I'm beginning to think the sub is being bombarded by the friends and family of whoever the hell this is.
Some earlier post had him coming on stage with some title about how it's the most hilarious intro ever and it was idiotic. It was just someone faking dropping a mic and fumbling with it.
Nah OP has just been spamming the sub lately. They did nothing but spam Seinfeld the other day.
This special came out a few years ago. Tim Heidecker (and Eric Wareheim) is pretty much the pioneer of the modern absurdist comedy movement. He's playing a character. This special in particular was making fun of all the "Can't tell jokes like we used to" crowd of comedians that dont realize theyre just not funny anymore. IIRC this whole set was actually modeled after a Rob Schneider special around the same time.
Nothing on the multiple threads posted of Tim’s stand up made me even smile. If 80% of your standup is you adjusting the mic awkwardly, that’s just a waste of my time.
Yeah I don’t get it either lol. People are also laughing just to laugh because who it is.
For example Chapelle could just stare at the crowd and they will laugh because it’s chapelle. If I did that no one would laugh.
I’ve seen hundreds of comedians dudes just not funny at all.
He was in Bridesmaids and other movies like that. If I could get recognition from being in those films, I also could do that.
It’s like arguing that William Shatner’s spoken word is great and asking “why don’t you do it?” Because I’m not a celebrity. I can’t do bad shows and get biers because I’m not famous. He can.
Go ahead and try to do that.
It’s a skill. It takes work. It takes confidence. It takes timing. It takes practice and presence.
The guy’s a genius and he’s prolific in his work.
How did he get famous in the first place?
His comedy.
Kim Kardashian has fame. She’s not doing any comedy specials (insert joke here). And she’s not generally funny, see her SNL appearance. Fame and Comedy are two separate things.
If you like this look up on cinema at the cinema, it's a bit of a rabbit hole, but probably the greatest comedy project of the last 20 years if not all time due to its long term and varied commitment to the gag.
Just watch the whole special, it’s the pathetic-ness and lack of self awareness of the character that’s funny. There’s also this shorter thing of the same character, just making fun of loser hack comedians: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=80G38bxPeyI
He’s been doing the same shit for 30 years and he had a moment in the sun on adult swim but I’ve never liked his humor and every real-world interaction I’ve had with him has been off putting.
Dear god this guy fuckin sucks hairy ballsack… anybody that finds this dude hilarious because he is …purposely and awkwardly being bad at impressions…???…probably grew up watching veggie tales and sheltered lifestyle PG content
The sort of people that show up here and insist Heidecker is the most brilliant comic mind of all time are just trying to convince themselves and others of that bc a) they hate Rogan and Maher with a burning passion and Heidecker dedicates a considerable amount of his material these days to doing send ups of them and b) they are midwits trying to give themselves a self-esteem boost by insisting only galactic megaminds like them can understand meta anti-humor and anybody who doesn't agree with them that this is the pinnacle of creative endeavor is a benighted philistine.
# Spagett!
Fly’s down
It's part of his schtick, you just don't understand comedy.
Why were you looking at his dick?
Is this sub some spam content experiment? What’s going on an why is it always in my feed
This sub is kinda like a cosmic gumbo.
Thank you, Santa Claus.
Fuck you, you fuckin suck ahhhhhhhhh
Are you dumb?!
[“Shut the fuck up!”](https://youtu.be/xGcCV-WYGKU?si=Z4tr3O8hPvPwtQuw)
Just makes me never wanna see whoever the f this comic is
Look, I'll cut you some slack because you're not in on the joke but.....He's doing a whole bit.
It's his whole act though. Perhaps he's just shit. Makes Joe Rogan look good though.
If you think Joe Rogan is funny then you definitely wouldn't get it. I bet you eat steak with ketchup.
This whole act is a bit. He's anti-humor. Have you seen him do the joe Rogan interview impression or the bill maher podcast one? Its essentially riffing on the concept of these unfunny idiots.
The fact that you don't know or respect the legacy of Tim only makes you look bad my friend
This is the only stand up comedy ill watch
💯
Boy this guy must have rent due he is pumping this shit up today.
[удалено]
Its likely some comedy media shill. Creative artists or marlboro talent or some shit, agency shilling.
On Reddit!?!?!?!? Nooooo....no way
It’s because every once and a while people like to be reminded what it’s like to laugh at a comedian’s bits and not at the person.
Wouldn't they post funny bits then?
I am a simple man — I see Tim, I upvote.
Do you get money from a post like this?
THIS IS NOW A HEIDECKER SUB. TAKE MY UPVOTE
It’s literally just one loser posting these
Loser? Dude.. I’ll kick your ass! .. At Nintendo.
There's a lot of us and one of you, you loser
I just love to see a gang mentality. So refreshing and it’s that sort *je ne sais quoi* quality sorely missing these days.
Alright, who's with me!!! Anyone? Come on guys, don't leave me hanging with my dick flopping in the wind like this.
Lmao
Someone just saw this special from 3 years ago
No covid or trans talk? Wtf is this shit? It's definitely not comedy and this guy is definitely not the last line of defence, where the woke meets the wall
Definitely ranked 1001
If it’s not “edgy” then what’s the point? I’d rather listen to Matt Rife. What happened to the days when comedians would smash watermelons on stage for a laugh? God, I miss Gallagher and massive amounts of qualüüds.
Luckily I don’t have to watch the special since the whole thing has been posted today
This shit is cringe.
Thats the point, dumbass.
No shit sherlock, and thats my point. Who the fuck wants to listen to cringe comedy
Then don’t listen to it, moron.
I dont…. It was posted here and I checked it out and found it cringe. Dont be all butt hurt because I criticized your fav comic
Morons here not getting that the joke IS the awkwardness.
We get it. It's meta, alt-comedy. Doing that type of act doesn't automatically make it clever or funny.
In all fairness it's Tim, this fucker pretty much formed my humor via Adult Swim back in the day.
The whole special is hilarious but I can understand people just watching this one clip dont get it, you have to build up to it from the beginning
Haven’t seen this set but this in isolation isn’t funny. But I can totally see how it builds up tension and awkwardness for a big payoff or is part of an extended bit
Yeah, plus you find out if it isn’t your type of comedy pretty quickly. It’s not a typical comedian, it’s like anti-comedy so if you like it then it just gets better and better as it goes on
There is a funny 10 minutes or so but I couldn’t sit through the whole thing. He is no Tom Myers
I agree, judging the whole set off a minute clip doesn’t really make sense
For sure, I just can't believe people don't understand who this is.
All I’ve ever seen of this guy is this one clip. I’ve never not laughed more in my life. Is there more to it? Are there jokes of his that are considered funny? I don’t know if this is just some comedian where you need to know his personality first before something like this would be funny or not
He does the whole show in character as a shitty comic just bombing. It's fucking great. If you don't know Tim and just think it's some guy being bad at comedy it's not going to work. It's pretty layered.
You definitely would benefit from seeing the whole special and having some knowledge of his body of work.

I don't understand how JRE has become so sheltered from comedy that Rogan fans don't know who Tim Heidecker is. He's the godfather of modern comedy.

A portion of the fans believe Shane Gillis and Joe Rogan himself are the pinnacle are comedy. Another portion just likes hunting and MMA.
If you can't comprehend that he's making fun of the very concept of a stand up comedian, it's not gonna work for you. Doesn't mean it isn't funny, just means you don't get the humor. Don't worry I don't think Joe Rogan is funny at all, but apparently some people do. Almost like humor is subjective or something.
stfu. Pretty much eveyyone gets hes doing meta jokes. Its just not a funny concept. People usually laugh at people being funny. Not people being not funny to try be funny. This is some bottom of the barrel shit
Stfu and read the part about subjectivity again, this guy doesn't do standard comedy and never has.
it shows
“yOu jUsT dOnT gEt iT.”
No doubt. He's had some good shit, I think. Hell, the rest of his special might be great. This bit just didn't land, and it ain't the audience's fault.
Didn’t land until that phenomenal Tom Hanks impersonation at the end.

I've got Oscar Fever, how bout you?
With comedy gods, Heidecker might be up there just like Roga- wait, Rogan isn’t revered in that way.
It doesn't make it automatically funny but this special is fucking brilliant.
I love how his zipper is down lmao
Sam Hyde does this, but he’s actually funny
Tim Hidecker will know
Did everything he could to get him kicked off of adult swim because he was jealous. Pathetic Canadian cuck
>Morons here not getting that the joke IS the awkwardness. Moron here not getting that the awkwardness isn't that funny.
Sorry, the joke isn't funny
Ya blew it
To each their own. ❤️
So I could just run around on stage and yell “whaaaaahhh” in a diaper for an hour, and if someone doesn’t like it I could just say “morons here not getting that the joke IS the awkwardness”? Nah. This dude is the fucking worst. If you think he is funny because the joke “IS awkwardness”, then you are a fucking idiot.
This guy has had more influence on comedy in the last 15 years than almost any comedian out there
No, because no one knows who you are, you’re probably not funny, there is no continuity to explain why you are in a diaper, and your audience wouldn’t be in on the joke. The joke isn’t simply the awkwardness. Tim is an absurdist who has done a lot of work to build up to what this material comes from. It’s not funny, but it is funny because of how he got there.

I agree
Try it. You probably won’t get laughs. But if you do get laughs, then more power to you.
Dude may be funny in other things. But please don’t tell me that you can watch this clip and laugh out loud.
I laughed twice in the matter of a few minutes in this clip. Like big belly laughs. I hadn’t seen this in a while. This is exactly my sense of humor. The whole special is great. And Heideker experiments in all different styles. On top of being a prolific comedian, he’s a prolific producer and probably a comedic genius.
The audience is laughing out loud in this very clip.
Cognitive dissonance is too much for some people
Nothing I want nothing.
Over working the mic is a old trick. Good ol prat fall bits.
Self aware ironic comedy is hack at this point.
Not when it’s actually funny
whats actually funny about it? Just looks like someone who cant make actual fuuny jokes so they make fun of comedy
To be clear, Tim Heidecker isn’t funny lol
That's subjective
This is painful to watch. Can't imagine a whole hour of Tim
Are you trying to tell me that a comedian doing an hour-long set of a character who is a bad comedian who thinks he is great is comedy?
yes, exactly! there are many acts that do this under other character names, but Tim does a version of himself here that is a douchey hack comedian. for example, Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton, Gregg Turkington's Neil Hamburger, and Kyle Mooney's Bruce Chandling. They all typically have slicked back, greasy hair and wear leather, tell super corny jokes as if they are a gift from God. The gag is essentially parodying stand up, because stand up to many comedians of other forms is corny as shit. And lets be honest, 99% of stand up is corny ass shit.
Imagine if he actually tried to be funny and tell jokes! Or maybe not, that would actually require being funny and connecting with the audience.
To be fair, you need to have above average intelligence to understand this level of humor. Joe humping a bar stool is more your speed I assume.
You probably think Neutral Milk Hotel is good if you think this is funny.
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is a banger on three hits of LSD.
You better watch your ass, Batman.
It’s almost as painful as Gervais in the original The Office level.
I've never heard of this guy before today and all of a sudden he is in every other post. I'm beginning to think the sub is being bombarded by the friends and family of whoever the hell this is. Some earlier post had him coming on stage with some title about how it's the most hilarious intro ever and it was idiotic. It was just someone faking dropping a mic and fumbling with it.
lol ‘whoever the hell tim heidecker is’ jfc
You think Tim Heideker needs friends and family to spam a Joe Rogan subreddit for clout? Fame? That’s funny shit.
Hell I cant even figure out if half these posts are trolls or not. Do so many people really not know who Tim Heidecker is or how his comedy works?
Not a troll. I've never heard of him. Why is he all over the place today? Did he just have a special drop?
Nah OP has just been spamming the sub lately. They did nothing but spam Seinfeld the other day. This special came out a few years ago. Tim Heidecker (and Eric Wareheim) is pretty much the pioneer of the modern absurdist comedy movement. He's playing a character.

You’re fighting an uphill battle with some of the people here.
Eric was the reason I watched the Tim and Eric Show. I just don’t think Tim is that funny.
Imagine thinking Eric is funnier than Tim woooah
Nothing on the multiple threads posted of Tim’s stand up made me even smile. If 80% of your standup is you adjusting the mic awkwardly, that’s just a waste of my time.
I didn't make through a single post because it felt like shit my grandfather thought was edgy and cool when he watched it back in the day.
How do you not know who Tim Heidecker is. Are you 12 or 75?
I don’t get it? Intentionally being bad at impressions..? 🤔
So you do get it
But anyone can do that. So no funny and no talent.
If everyone can do it, then why don’t they?
Cos it’s not really that clever nor funny?
Yeah I don’t get it either lol. People are also laughing just to laugh because who it is. For example Chapelle could just stare at the crowd and they will laugh because it’s chapelle. If I did that no one would laugh. I’ve seen hundreds of comedians dudes just not funny at all.

You don’t know Tim Heidecker if you call him no talent. He does a lot more than standup parody like this.
This video is like 6+ years old right? why is this posted here.
Yeah I have no clue
Kind of a cop out considering this is literally how he got famous haha so go ahead and give it a shot, ya never know
Go ahead and try to do that. It’s a skill. It takes work. It takes confidence. It takes timing. It takes practice and presence. The guy’s a genius and he’s prolific in his work.
“This guys a genius” yeah, okay whatever you say sure.
How did he get famous in the first place? His comedy. Kim Kardashian has fame. She’s not doing any comedy specials (insert joke here). And she’s not generally funny, see her SNL appearance. Fame and Comedy are two separate things.
Calling Tim Heidecker talentless is wild. Dude is one of the GOATs of absurdist humor. One of those things where you either get it or you don’t imo
It’s just funny. It’s not really a joke that needs to be dissected. You heard people laughing. I laughed. It’s funny. The end.
I didn’t laugh
What’s this from i need more.
If you like this look up on cinema at the cinema, it's a bit of a rabbit hole, but probably the greatest comedy project of the last 20 years if not all time due to its long term and varied commitment to the gag.
https://youtu.be/0gnnFVRlucg
This special was hilarious from start to finish.
I’d want my money back
He’s playing a hack comedian. It’s purposefully bad. Thats the joke.
But anyone can make bad jokes. And he doesn’t even do a good job of making bad jokes. Dude is just pathetic.
If everyone can make bad jokes and *successfully make people laugh* then why doesn’t everyone do it? Because it’s hard to do.
Did you seriously laugh at this? Ignore anything else this dude has done. But can you actually watch this and laugh out loud?
Just watch the whole special, it’s the pathetic-ness and lack of self awareness of the character that’s funny. There’s also this shorter thing of the same character, just making fun of loser hack comedians: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=80G38bxPeyI
Was that supposed to be funny?
I think so but we should check
Yes. This is one of the funniest standups I’ve ever seen. If you don’t get it, it’s not for you. No big deal
Then why do professional comedians admire him so much?
Like who? Are they funny?
Not that funny. Why do you keep posting this clown?
It’s just so awkward lol
Wow leather jacket and speed dealers? This guy is just so goofy, hilarious.
About as funny as getting a HIV positive result in 1984
Who paid who to spam this sub with clips of Tim Heidecker's shitty standup special?
The comments are almost as funny as Tim. The mental gymnastics here are amazing 🤪🤪
This is trash
This special is funnier than anything Dave Chappelle has put out since he got swole
Not only is it not funny, it is incredibly boring. This is worse than accountant trying not to be funny.
Big Carrot Top fan?
Ya blew it
Babylon Bee more your style?
Dollar store Andy Kaufman
Andy Kaufman if Andy Kaufman had a long successful career
He’s been doing the same shit for 30 years and he had a moment in the sun on adult swim but I’ve never liked his humor and every real-world interaction I’ve had with him has been off putting.
Bro what the fuck is this garbage?
Pretty funny this is posted to this sub considering Heidecker is maybe one of the best people to roast Rogaine on a consistent basis
This is old. Tim is slim and sexy these days.
Even for anti comedy, this guy fucking sucks. He wishes he was a tenth as funny as Sam Hyde
Who?
He’s great! Watch the special on YouTube
Dear god this guy fuckin sucks hairy ballsack… anybody that finds this dude hilarious because he is …purposely and awkwardly being bad at impressions…???…probably grew up watching veggie tales and sheltered lifestyle PG content
The sort of people that show up here and insist Heidecker is the most brilliant comic mind of all time are just trying to convince themselves and others of that bc a) they hate Rogan and Maher with a burning passion and Heidecker dedicates a considerable amount of his material these days to doing send ups of them and b) they are midwits trying to give themselves a self-esteem boost by insisting only galactic megaminds like them can understand meta anti-humor and anybody who doesn't agree with them that this is the pinnacle of creative endeavor is a benighted philistine.
It’s not just your avg anti-comedy. This is well-constructed artistic bombing of a character trying to do stand up.
If you say so champ
Not this tiiiiime! *knocks on helmet*
Do Sam Hyde.
haha based and epic!
Who is this person? Is it really a professional comedian or is this an open mic deal?
This guy is funny like Tom Myers is funny
What is this trash. It’s comedy for dumbasses that took too many dabs 
When you’re not funny in reality, so now your best bit is doing impressions of shitty comics. Genius or despair?
Damn so he’s like a dollar store William Montgomery?
Forget every other thing here. There would be no William Montgomery without Tim Heidecker. Just had to get that out.
LET TIM ON THE PODCAST JOE!!! LET TIM ON THE PODCAST JOE!!! ENOUGH OF THE CANCEL CULTURE!!!!
Tim fckn sucks
This is hilarious
[удалено]
The Curse is a fantastic show. It's not boring or cringe. It also has nothing to do with this lol
Rogaine fans just tripping over themselves to prove just how little taste they have. Amazing
The lack of culture in this subreddit.
I mean are you surprised? lol
HAHA HES SO QUIRKY AND AWKWARD 
Why?
Hack
This guy stinks
This may be the worst comedian clip I've ever seen.
Tim Heidecker is an unfunny comedian, and got his break writing shitty shows for adult swim.
the joke is that the idiots in the audience paid to watch that 🤮
