  Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim's magnum opus of cringe and surrealism. Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is a sketch comedy show that deliberately employs low-fi production values, public-access aesthetics, and deliberately bad special effects. Featuring a rotating cast of bizarre characters and celebrity cameos in incredibly awkward situations, the show revels in the uncomfortable and the nonsensical. Its experimental structure, rapid-fire sketches, and commitment to absurdity make it a prime example of the kind of anti-humor and surrealism found in Xavier.

  Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim are pillars of the absurd and cringe-comedy scene that heavily influenced the Adult Swim landscape. Awesome Show is a sketch comedy series parodying low-budget public access television, featuring deliberately awkward performances, surreal animation, bizarre songs, and often grotesque visuals. While its humor is more rooted in cringe and awkwardness than abstract dread, it shares The Shivering Truth's commitment to a distinct, often unsettling aesthetic and a reality where anything can happen, no matter how strange.
