Here's the thing about that video, and the reason why I think I've never been into those guys: it's not actually funny. Who laughs while watching that? Who even cracks a smile?
I imagine the appeal is more in the anticipation of quoting it with your buds. Enunciating "ridged chips" when you ask your pal to bring over some snacks the next time you invite them over seems like a pleasurable, bonding experience. Plus they have all these elaborate, decade-long gags that make people who understand them feel like they are in the in-group, part of something.

But is any of it actually funny? I would say no
Tim and Eric aren't my favorite thing in the world, but I love Heidecker in pretty much anything else.
Argo, re: the humor of that clip: one must understand social conventions in order to understand how to flout them. It requires what psychologists call the Theory of Mind (ironically acronymed as “ToM”).

I smiled and laughed and then I shared it on RM because I enjoyed it so much and it went over really well! As always, I’m really happy I’m participating here, among a community of like-minded people.

Wow, someone give those guys more money to make awkward content with no social value or true humor just dumb garbage for bad people who will go to hell when they die for laughing at bad jokes
