Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is the 22nd Williams Street original television series. It's produced by WS with Absolutely and airs on the Adult Swim block with a run-time of 11 minutes. It was created by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim who also write, direct, star, do voice-over work, and act as executive producers on the show. It was spiritually preceded by Tim & Eric's previous show Tom Goes to the Mayor.
Each episode contains a collection of quick surreal sketches featuring song numbers, mock commercials, and mock programming usually in the vein of unintentionally bad public access. A large chunk of each episode's sketches are continuous but presented in a non-linear fashion. These sketches are linked together with a specific theme, and it may make it's way into seemingly unrelated sketches. This theme is usually the episode title, and is usually a mundane object.
The show is shot in live-action, and features a huge amount of greenscreen special effects (that are usually intentionally poorly rendered). Using glitchy, surreal, abstract, and often unpredictable video editing, the show often aims to create common, but extreme discomfort. The cast of the show ranges from well-known celebrity guests to alternative comedians, actual public access stars, senior citizens pulled off the street, recruited bad talent, and craigslist posters.
