I've been watching adult swim since I was a young buck and they've managed to surprise me once again by how far they can take comedy away from the norm. I didn't expect much after watching the commercials but after I gave it a try, I became addicted. It's unlike any talk show I've seen before, the discomfort and awkwardness in the guests is clearly visible, partly due to Hannibal standing behind them during interviews. The sketches are original and hilarious and the comedic timing of Eric Andre is amazing. This show is better than Family Guy or Robot Chicken by a mile. The interview with a grizzly bear is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
Eric and Hannibal make a great comedic team, give this show a try.

Arguably one of the most important comedies ever. For everyone saying that it has no meaning or reason- that's the point. Everything the character of Eric does is a complete opposite of the way we are told to live and behave. He strips naked in front of other people, destroys stuff, takes no interest in his guest. And yet, it creates an almost more human connection and experience than any other normal talk show could. Whilst other talk show hosts behave how is seen as 'acceptable' and 'correct', Eric does the opposite. He breaks down the barrier that talk shows create between the host and the audience, reaching to the primal instincts to just not care about anything. What was intended to just be the worst talk show ever ended up one of the most important comedies of all time.
It's basically like a parody of talk shows mixed with borat if you seen borat you know what to expect but there is a lot of originality throughout this show.
I just finished watching 20 episodes of this show, I loved it. The show has great energy and insanity embedded in every frame, I recommend everyone to watch it with their families. Season 2 episode 10 had me doubt my sanity. The show is humorless, the host of this show "Eric Andre" keeps on vomiting and farting most of the time and that disgusting visual is supposed to be funny. The randomness and unpredictability of the show will keep you entertained, some bits are pure genius which can be observed only if you watch it with full attention. This show isn't for kids, and avoid seeing it with your parents/families at all costs. The show keeps repeating the same pattern, destruction of random things, crying, naked body, vomit, farts, emotional dramas, Sherlock, poems, piano, planets, Saturn, hawk and Obama.
Overall the show is funny and hence humorless.

The Eric Andre show is a parody of every terrible art school party, every terrible noise show, and every stand-up act that was only laughable because of how bad it was. These flavors are combined to create a deconstruction of the talk/skit late-night show that occasionally ascends to brilliance.
The sublime intro sequence begins slowly but rapidly advances in tempo as mr. andre destroys his set and clothes in an escalating fit of madness before, suddenly clothed again, sitting down exhausted. As a new curtain descends behind him and a fresh desk pushed in front of him the audience is left with the illusion that this act repeats week after week and the show is performed in the expanding refuse of previous sets.
