Sometimes it's just curious way some things just work.
The minimalist approach here makes the whole thing breezy and digestible and also more adorable.
The scenarios are genuinely creative and the mixture of live wire characters juxtaposed against smaller than life, Tim, made each episode pretty appealing.
Tim is refreshing as a character. He can be self absorbed and unfastidious perhaps but he is just trying to get by. Life for him isn't something he takes seriously enough to get passionate about but he has to contend with everyone else's issues. If everyone were life Tim we'd probably have no wars but if only some people are life Tim, everyone else would get angry enough to start them.
A dark show, really. I'm usually very averse to shows that think they can just end an episode negatively and call that comedy but I still got a lot out of this.
I don't like the ending of the whole thing but it's the journey not the destination.

I know that cartoons aimed towards adults generally don't get the attention they deserve, because they get written off as childish or don't capture interests as quickly as attractive/famous real-life characters can. But PLEASE, give this show a chance! I promise that just one episode of this show will have you hooked. I haven't laughed out loud this much since arrested development (R.I.P.) and the humor is similarly fast paced and, at times, absurd. The show is a half hour long, divided into two 15 minute episodes, which makes the show very watchable even for people who don't think they can devote an entire 30 minutes to a cartoon.
Everything about this show is hilarious--the scenarios, the dry dialogue, the buildup to inevitable madness, and the horribly drawn but wonderfully fleshed-out characters. The show follows Tim, who is frequently caught in admittedly outlandish situations, although they always seem to spiral out of control so realistically. He and the supporting cast of characters all have their own stand out performances, including Debbie the friend/hooker and Amy the girlfriend, who is perpetually disappointed in her well-meaning but just plain awful boyfriend. So before you write it off simply because it's an adult cartoon, watch just ONE episode. Hell, even watch one half of an episode. That's 15 minutes of your time that will quickly lead to you watching every episode, I promise.

The only reason I even signed up and got a user profile on IMDb was so I could spread the word about this show. It is truly one of the funniest and most entertaining shows I've ever seen. WATCH IT!! Not only is it extremely funny, but the story line sucks you in. Each show consists of two fifteen minute segments and within a 30 seconds, the story completely draws you in. My wife said that the show is akin to an animated version of Curb Your Enthusiasm and she's right! The voices fit the characters perfectly and each charter is developed in a very believable way. I can't recommend this show enough!! Check it out! As far as animated shows, it blows South Park and Family Guy out of the water.
It doesn't take itself seriously at all, and never comes across as self-indulgent or forcing humor onto the viewer. It's easy comedy, not in the sense that no effort was put into it, but rather that even on your worst day, coming home after exhausting work, you'd still find enthusiasm for a quick episode. It's smooth viewing, funny and intelligible, and the story makes sense and is consistently straightforward yet fresh. The plots are funny and offer enough variety, but it's the specific situations in each episode that are at times hilarious. Tim is just doing his best not to be singled out, not to be noticed, and he somehow finds himself in the spotlight in the worst possible way every time.
One of the funniest moments I can remember is the very first scene and Dildarian (creator and voice of Tim) really did an excellent job capturing what the show was about in that opening scene to get the audience hooked. Other moments include any time some super exaggerated story is made up of Tim that makes him look like a miserable little creature, any scene involving Tim and his girlfriend Amy's family (the best by far being his phone call with the mom about the cook book), usually any moment involving the Boss and just the mere fact he's simply known as "the Boss", when he pretends he's got 'tell the truth' syndrome and verbally assaults everyone in the office under orders from the boss, most of the scenes with the priest...
The ridiculous, crummy animation is absolutely perfect given the type of humor in question, and you can tell Dildarian had fun with just the animation alone in certain scenes, for eg when Tim's on the bus and the old man challenges him to a boxing match and repeatedly slaps him in the face, and the scene lasts about 5 or 6 slaps too long on purpose. It's so underwhelming and flat it's hilarious to watch.
The animation is arguably symbolic of how exactly underwhelming and ordinary life is. How unimpressive, and flat (literally as flat as a child's 2D drawings) life is.
