UPC hosts comedy team Tim and Eric

The first of UPC's big acts for the month of April brought big laughs as Tim and Eric rolled onto the Plains Monday night.The stars of Adult Swim's "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" and "Tom Goes to the Mayor," as well as various cult-favorite Internet shorts, brought their off-the-wall humor to a packed Student Act Auditorium.The team is comprised of Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, former film students who initially worked from their Web site, but soon began working with former "Saturday Night Live" writer and "Mr. Show" co-creator Bob Odenkirk to develop projects for Cartoon Network's late night schedule.As with "Awesome Show," most of the live act parodies cheaply made cable access TV channels in characters such as "Casey and his Brother," a send-up of telethon entertainment involving a 17-year-old singer with a skin condition and crippling stage fright, and the "Channel 5 Kid Break," in which Heidecker and Wareheim play two young children who rap about conserving toilet paper and their dads' dirty socks.The duo also lampoons timeshare conferences as they attempt to earn a commission by selling the audience hot tubs.Opening for Tim and Eric was Dan Mintz, a comedian whose deadpan delivery and array of one-liners has seen him on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and landed him a 30-minute special on Comedy Central.Filling in during Tim and Eric's costume changes was a DJ who crafted remixes of random bits of dialogue that ranged from scrap gold commercials to the Sham-Wow guy."I thought that the Tim and Eric show was completely wacky and unique," said Alisa Courtney, a freshman in exercise science.
