Mike Steaks is exactly the name Tim would come up with

[@piggystims702]

One of the only true pieces of crap i've ever met

[@velvetcitysound]

AKA SLOPPY STEAKS 💦 🥩

[@FGP_Pro]

Right up-there with "Roz Chunks".

Cousin to Jamie Taco

I’d love to unload Mike Steaks

So ominous and goofy

[@vera39440]

"oh, am I not READING THE ROOM?" is a line that could be in every tim Robinson sketch, and it would make me laugh every time

[@Mitchell_E_Underscore]

I really needed a laugh today. I saw this video and I was like "That'll do it! Yeah, that'll do the trick! Yeah I'd say that would do it! Yep. That'll make me laugh a little." My wife's looking over my shoulder and going "I think we're good here!". I forwarded the link to my buddy and he's like "Uhhhhh, yeah. That'll do it!"

[@6kunk]

Lmfao 😂

[@smirch]

He had me at Mike Steaks. I was like...um, that will do it. Yeah, that will do it. I'd say that will do it.

How about 18? How about 18 ROUghnecks??

[@Thedudemannn]

They’re probably not even there with him, they’re doing multiple takes. That or they’ve worked with Tim a bunch and are probably used to his humor at this point. They also could have used shotgun mics or LAV mics that wouldn’t have picked up much background noise due to the fact that they’re directional.

[@SloanBellamy]

​@@ThedudemannnI feel like the more use to his humour you get, the funnier it is

[@jeremiahmolinaro7595]

The Postal Service started one of the hugest trashcan fires I have ever seen after a show in Indianapolis

[@tyso5146]

I'd invest in Tim if I knew how. He's the next universal, bona fide comedy legend, and his comedy will endure. His style is a kind of a spiritual successor to Tim & Eric, though broader, but not watered down. Which, if you think about it is a borderline miracle.

[@diccchocolate416]

I think its because Tim relatable situations as a base to build the insanity on top of.

[@TubbyLumpedKins]

@@diccchocolate416 he also does fake outs, where you assume a things will go back to normal, but then other characters join in on the insanity. Like the “then let my wife eat the fucking receipt.” Line

[@thebondsman]

Tim is the FUNNIEST HUMAN currently alive that's in the media/pop culture/internet hemisphere. He *is* comedy

[@UncleFishbits]

Corporate tv totally wasted his abilities on fear of the weird, and he needed a vehicle like Detroiters with Adult Swim allowing him to take chances, or have a clear voice. Now? Spectrum TV is going to take Corn Cob TV off the channel lineup, because they say Coffin Flops *isn't* a show, but it just shows hundreds and hundreds of dead bodies rolling out of caskets. They called him a hick. They said that to him at dinner.

"I will try and wreck things you have going with my mouth."

[@YarrBr0]

Jenny Lewis had the best lines

[@davidwinn8269]

Tim is the one to watch this decade. He's got the cool everyman mask of Hartman, the likeable frenetic thing that Carrey had, the unpredictable surrealistic genius of Kaufman, and even a softer vulnerable, goofy side which is like...Farley? (maybe not the best example but you know what I mean). Anyway, this man is going to be a legend and I can't wait to see every single thing he does.

[@DrewSullivan87]

I love that Benny and Jenny are literally 2/3 of the postal service, like it’s just gonna be Jimmy, Guinevere Rose and this true piece of crap Mike Stakes in the postal service, and Jenny and Benny are gonna have to go merge in with this 18 (now 16) piece corporate super group of arsonists. That would be such a massive change - and the fact that he’s essentially pitching this idea to Benny and Jenny at the end of the day is hilarious

thats actually a great realization, I don’t think I would have thought that.

[@chatsidefires]

I think this concept of atomizing traits of one famous person and trying to conjure them up in like proportion for another famous person is kind of just unnecessary. I don't think that line of thinking reveals anything deeper about Tim's work. Kind of feels like the sort of observation people make when they want people to think They are perceptive. It's The sort of remark people rush to go make under the impression other people need to hear it and some people rush to like to show that they too are deep and I just don't enjoy any of it.

[@John12512]

@@chatsidefires It's not that deep. Comparing two comedians, or actors, or musicians, is fine.

[@chatsidefires]

@@John12512 I get the people compare artists. I just feel like sometimes it's useful to do that and other times it's just a learned behavior like a habit. And I really in this particular instance think that the observation being made is pretty silly. I'm understanding that if I say something online someone might object to it. You just did it to what I said after all. So hopefully the person who posted the original comment also understands that by posting a comment they are opening up the window to getting responses that aren't positive. I'm not trying to be a super duper snot going around saying rude stuff on every comment I see that I disagree with but I happen to see this one and it just rubbed me the wrong way personally like I don't think there's anything morally wrong with saying it but This comment in particular rub me the wrong way at the moment in which I saw it.
