What is this from?

Eric Andre show. His bit is to be the worst talk show host imaginable.

How does he compare to Zach Between Two Ferns?

they have different energies. Zach is antagonistic towards the guests in a very controlled, researched, way. The bit being he actively hates his guests. Eric is more chaotic energy in that the bit is he wishes he was doing anything else instead.

this clip captures the energy pretty well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_VvjfYDIOZY

So Eric Andre's bit is being an unmedicated man with severe ADHD still doing a job that bores him to tears?

Now it makes a lot more sense why it just annoys me than entertains me... No one ever found me funny

Annnnd crazy shit happens like a bear walking on set

I thought Zach's was scripted. While Eric's guests don't know what will happen.

Wow, that seems like an incredible podcast. I really enjoyed how free flowing and real that was. Maybe I’m just jaded or don’t see very much good content.

I hope you search it out. You're in for a ride, and I am super jealous. Few shows have made me cry as much as this did. Bird up

Ok I gotta watch this show, seems like my kind of bag baby

Edit: Yep, it is. You’re the one millionth person to use this garbage can!

It's anti comedy and cringe comedy

If you like Tim and Eric you'll probably like it.

It's like the office cringe beefed up on steroids to absurd levels. Ranch it up!!

Throw in a hefty scoop of absurdist humor and baby you got Andre stew going

Pssh. Every self respecting actor should do a full frontal on camera at least once in their life, like that really hot and cellulite free actress whose name I can't remember did on "The Wolf of Wall Street".

It helped that said actress has an insanely perfect body and face, almost like she was born to play a famous doll or something.

Downloaded the show because of this meme, was kind of a let down. Please pay back my Pirate Bay prescription.

Ted Danson is a treasure.

Eric Andre is an outspoken Zionist.

Eric Andre specifically came out in support of Palestine

There's why he signed the letter to Biden in support of Israel?

That's great that he clarified his personal feelings... After the blowback from signing the open letter to Biden in support of Israel. I'm also a "self loving Jew who supports a full ceasefire" and it hasn't been difficult at all not to make any public actions contrary to that belief.

Or maybe he realized he was wrong and decided to do the right thing. The dude went to a birthright trip in his 20s; it makes sense he would have started out in support of Israel.

Maybe. More likely he realized the backlash from his fans was affecting his wallet and career. The conflict isn't new and Andre isn't dumb. he was raised in the faith as was I, except he's a few years older. My family and I have been thrown out of multiple Temples for the mere suggestion that Palestinian lives matter even remotely. I was offered birthright as well, as all white passing and rich Jews are, and turned it down. It's that easy. What I will never understand is why people rush to defend the rich and powerful. Do you really think he needs, wants, or cares about your help?

I'm interested in figuring out why he would switch positions to such a large degree. If it were truly to prevent backlash, he would have said something sooner and appear neutral.

I'm defending him because I enjoy the art he makes and think he's as capable as you or I of self improvement, and because I want to encourage others to do the same.
