    It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

    A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

    Whoever is giving this show a 10 rating needs a cat scan. Warranted every one is entitled to vote their way but a 10/10 for this garbage. John Reilly is the most irritating actor because he thinks hes funny when hes not. If anything he looks like he's on something half the time. The show is vulgar, not funny and irritatingly nails on a chalkboard. With stupid promo commercials of his gross eating habits ,complete with a close up of his mouth . Disgusting, I think Adult Swim has got some of the worst stuff on , like that hospital show and the equally abysmal The Heart She Holler. I wish they would come up with something that's not a total piece of crap.

    John. C Reilly has proved to be one of the most versatile and interesting actors to grace our screens in recent years, appearing in blockbusters Boogie Nights & Gangs of New York - alongside Daniel Day Lewis who is arguably the finest actor of our time. And who could forget his performance in Magnolia. He has recently leaned towards the sort of slap-stick gross out comedy characterised by the work of Peter and Bobby Farrelly - which brings us to his latest incarnation as hapless buffoon ''Dr. Steve Brule''. Quite what Reilly is trying to achieve here is hard to put your finger on. Part moron part innocent, Brule appears in situations ranging from the massage table to the health-food shop offering advice on health and lifestyle to any one who will listen. Low-fi editing and production values add to the odd charm of this deeply grotesque character, who has one of the most odd speech impediments I have ever experienced. David I am really not sure what to think about this - but I can't look away. Im giving it 3 and a half stars.

    This is the worst thing I've ever seen. The plots are stupid and the character is a self righteous retard. An example of their idea of comedy is spitting milk on food thats too hot. How thats funny to anyone is beyond me. I shouldn't have been shocked though seeing as how the Tim & Eric show is just as ridiculous and grating. Watching grass grow is a better and more entertaining use of ones time. It says a lot that the show is so awful and annoying that they cant even muster up 30 seconds of amusing show clips to make an enticing commercial. Its a great show if you hate comedies and want to see what it would be like if a chimpanzee wrote for a show.

    With Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, Tim and Eric created an environment where they could do literally anything and it didn't matter. Beyond a few repeat characters and skits, the episodes didn't link at all and neither did the individual parts of each episode. Whereas with Check it Out, we have a "normal" set up and flow to each episode. Whether or not this is better or worse is up to opinion, but one thing is for sure, it's completely hilarious.Steve Brule was never one of my favorite characters from Awesome Show, I preferred the the oddballs like Richard Dunn, David Liebe Hart and James Quall, but this show managed to round him out more and give him more quirks and nuances that are infinitely hysterical. Every guest he has he mispronounces their names, he's always cut off mid-sentence and he has some severe family problems, but miraculously these jokes make me crack up each and every time. Just as in Awesome Show, the comedic timing and editing is spot on, and this time it even further parodies every local access show ever made perfectly. If I didn't know about it, I could easily see it playing on a local channel.The new characters more than hold a candle to the old, and are probably some of my favorite parts of every episode. Whether its Doug Prispreed's confusing sport reports, Terry Bruge Hiplo's offpaced movie reviews or Carol Krabit's useless predictions, I'm dying from laughter every time. Where do they get these people!?Adding structure to comedy like Tim and Eric's seems like an oxymoron, but it works, maybe not for everyone, but for me. I cant judge which I like more, because for me I consider this just an extension on the Awesome Show. One thing is for sure about both, on first glimpse it looks like it was thrown together sloppily in minutes, but there is actually comedic reasoning and timing for every joke, every bad edit and every cut in and cut out. Tim and Eric create a tedious form of awful quality like no one else, and their shows make me laugh like no one else's.
