Decker

Decker is a spin-off of the web-series "On Cinema at the Cinema" in which Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington review movies. Decker is a project their characters undertake on "On Cinema." If you're not familiar with the characters on that show you won't fully appreciate their characters on Decker. On Cinema has been around for years and can be watched on YouTube--I'd HIGHLY recommend watching those "seasons" prior to watching Decker because the evolution of Tim & Gregg on that show lays the foundation for much of the humor of Decker. Each year they also do an "Oscar Special" that runs over 3 hours--those are WELL worth watching as they contain much of the Dekkar stuff and the sustained absurdity is mind-blowing. Plus "On Cinema" is funny as hell.

Like "On Cinema," Decker is absurdist anti-humor. It is ridiculously bad in every way possible. Generally speaking, if you like Tim & Eric, Eric Andre, or other Adult Swim type programs you'll most likely love this.

Seasons 1 & 2 are favorites. Season 3 (Decker vs Dracula) is decent but relies on FX too much. Adult Swim took over the production of Season 4 (Decker Unclassified) and it's a little too slick for my taste; Decker is best when produced with almost no budget.

When this came out it was totally original and now alot of the themes and tropes that were used in this show are used by Hollywood Elites the likes of Tom Cruise, and James Bond and Zero Dark Thirty to try to be as good as Decker but there will never match the attitude of the original CIA agent known as John Decker. Just remember if you are watching it now that it was the orignal and alot of the characters like the president Davidson and agent Klington were groundbreaking at the time.

I would give this show 5 bags of popcorn, which would be strapped into the seat of a jet cause wow this show really takes off in season 2 onwards

Hilarious show with purposely amateurish writing, special effects and acting. Hilarious riff on ultra right wing sensibility and playful jabs at earnest D.I.Y. content creators. Made laugh and then want to start wring gags, grabbing some friends, a video camera, and Adobe Primer and After Effects and have some fun. Despite it's utter nonsensical nature and cheap looking production values, it's obvious a lot of passion and effort went into creating this series. If you enjoy this then I highly recommend it's parent show, on cinema at the cinema. Tim and Greg play film reviewers who often bicker over petty issues. It's a film review show that not only lampoons film review shows but also has actual story lines that segue into the Deckerverse.

I WILL vote for Decker as president in 2024. He is the only one who can save us from terrorists and the incompetent President. We will also need Agent Klington as Viss President .
