The Life & Times of Tim Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
DacMeDarco Slipping under the radar over the course of its three season run, The Life and Times of Tim never gained the attention many feel it deserves. Its sitcom setup and plot structure lend perfectly to the shows dry humour. Despite being fully animated, the show does not tend to stretch the boundaries of realism. It instead uses its animation helps to distance it from other animated shows and even live-action sitcoms. The show is perhaps able to be viewed as the animated counterpart of fellow HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm. The creation of the show was handled by Steve Dildarian, who also provides the voice for the titular character. Tim's friend Stu is voiced by Nick Kroll (The League, Kroll Show), who portrays the simpleton character with ease. The show also boasts some well-known guest stars over its duration. Included guest voices are Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul), Elliott Gould (M*A*S*H, Friends), Aziz Ansari (Masters of None, Parks and Recreation) and Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars Episodes IV-VI, Batman (1989)). Although the show is not entirely ground breaking, it does have enough comedic substance to entertain viewers and even bring it above many other similar shows, especially animated. The writing helps provide an unconventional dialogue along with its dry and subtle humour. The humour of the show is perhaps the reason behind why it never achieved the mainstream popularity that it so well deserves. All factors of the show work well with each other and culminate to become a fantastic and fun show, provided you can handle the rough and rigid animation. While it may bore some viewers and throw them off, it is all round a fantastic show with great jokes, albeit very dry. It is at least worth a watch to test the waters, the first episode or two would provide a necessary base of what to expect throughout the series.
sum-rocks When i first started watching this show i started at the beginning of the 3rd season and i was kind of lost. Why is that you might ask? Well it's because on top of all the hilarious situations that Tim gets himself into they all tie together into a great story. I believe the terrible animation actually adds to the humour of the show. Honestly though when a show is this funny i could care less about a story line but since they included it it is a fantastic compliment to a hilarious show. If you are age 16-30 i would highly recommend this to you (although women might not like the humour used in this show) and i pray that this show does not get cancelled cause I NEED MORE LIFE AND TIMES OF TIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
allhellblimey Hi, I signed up for IMDb just so I could point out what an idiot j.d. seaton is. Let's see, for starters I imagine him as some bloated half-wit who drinks ten energy drinks a day and doesn't ever shut up his overly loud and abrasive voice and when he tries to be funny he laughs at his own jokes really loud because of his extreme insecurity as someone who isn't considered funny by anyone except the broiest of bros.With that said, the only thing wrong with The Life and Times of Tim is that there aren't literally thousands of episodes. That's not to say the episodes don't have replay value, but really I wish I could watch new Tim material all day every day. I try to be more like Tim in every aspect of my life and I wish I could be a character on the show.
AnnaKarenin 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.
