The awful camera angles… the suggestive atmosphere of raging alcoholism.. I’m in awe 👏😂
the Lamp is the moderator of their debate
Lmao
An atmosphere of intellectual and functional drinking.
Poured out 450 MLS in 20 mins.
😂
its the insistence on directing Fred to adopt Tim's opinion is what does it for me lol.
@@nathanreiber6819 yes, that’s exactly right! 👌 abrasively seeking agreement 😄
Tim is as liberal as it gets. He was against the Iraq war.
Was Bill Maher?
Tim was in the Iraq War.
3/75.
Our values are under attack.
@mondegreenmatt849
Ah nuh nuh nuh. Nuh, nuh nah.
-Decker.
-Oahu.
he's a lefty from way back
The “pour a drink and become slightly more aggressive in tone” move was spot on hahahahahahhaha
Clank clank clank
Who is he parodying?
@@VuotoPneumaNN club random podcast with bill maher
Tim's relentless talking over & cutting off of Fred this whole show is spot on... Its infuriating
isn't that a bad thing?
@@TNJX It's hilarious.
He’s making fun of Bill Maher’s interviews
Are you a bot? This seems 100% like a bot comment..
@henrynooney8881 he’s doing rogan mixed with Maher mixed with Ted Bundy
Love that Fred doesn't crack a smile
Why would he? Our country is at steak.
Tim almost cracked when he said “I was against the Iraq war.”
@@eyespy3001 Fill me in, it's been a while. Is Tim doing semi-satire? Never know when he's being 100% serious but it seems like never
@@themanbrodude I’m in the same boat as you. Knowing this guy’s humor, though, I think it would be a safe bet to say this is 100% satire.
@@eyespy3001 Yea pretty sure he's doing a Bill Maher satire and how he does his after hour podcast or whatever you would call that show. Where Bill is terrible at it will have people on and will try and preach about something a lot of times acting like he knows more about the project than the person who created it and getting angry at his guests when they try and counter his points.
Tim can do an impression without changing his voice, it's incredible.
Yeah he’s doing Ahhhnold here
@@southrules’im back’
@@jbeng001ok now that was pretty good
Lmaooo oo o
I appreciate Tim's commitment to a bit that only his audience will get is very admirable lol
Yes it takes artistic courage to keep in character for a bit that most Americans won't understand
Exactly.
Yeah, that’s what got to be annoying about him. It’s fan service. It’s for his audience to feel smart. I never want to be part of a club…
@@begshallots bad news: now you’re in the club of people who think they’re too cool or smart to be in a club
@@portlandgoose4727 it’s not at all the point. It’s that I don’t find this self-congratulatory attitude funny. He’s been doing this kind of humor for a while. It’s wink-humor. No one is really laughing. Everyone is saying to themselves, “isn’t it funny and aren’t we clever because we get the joke?”
So grateful to Fred for finally taking aim at high and mighty Portland all those years ago or just yesterday in TV time.
The whole concept of time is yesterday in TV. 🤪
LOL. Taking aim? High and mighty? About... Portland? What a strange view to have. This is a parody of Bill Maher, dude. The world must be so scary to you. How weak.
@java4653 so many questions Java. Do you think that time, like time itself, is just yesterday, in TV terms?
@@java4653 I’m not familiar with Bill Maher, I don’t have HBO. And the world is scary! You can’t say anything these days without the woke mob coming for you.
I’m just proud of Tim for finally having a guest on that’s brave enough to stand up to the coastal elites.
Are you a bot? This seems 100% like a bot comment..
I love that Tim keeps insisting that its "pot shots at the woke mindset" and Fred keep insisting that its not that deep
Not pot shots. Shots
Would have been even better if he woulda said the “woke mind virus”
Tim is almost a performance artist in the way he embodies those he’s parodying. I love the guy. Bill maher on the other hand…
"almost"?
@@redvelvetunderground hard agree, im not sure how you can call that a performance or artistic at all.
Totally spot on he is satirical in how Maher always thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. “I’m the most liberal person here”
Amen to that. Maher is a hack. I'll bet he hasn't written a joke for real time anyway in years.
Best satire of Bill Maher's podcast. Down to the interviewer drunkenly talking at the guest 😂👏
perfect satire of bill maher's podcast
Man Tim is so good I almost thought it was real lmao jesus christ
Sad to admit I had to dive into this comment section just to be sure
This Tim Maher guy is great
Bill Maher would unironically blank on the name of Portlandia, Fred's most noteworthy achievement, if he ever interviewed him, so that was a nice touch.
And the co-star who he certainly must know.
"So, Harrison, you were in that movie, with the hat and the whip, which I'm blanking on right now."
"Indiana Jones?"
definitely the biggest threat since the civil war
In fact maybe the biggest threat since that comet that killed the dinosaurs, this is an extinction level wokeness going on, none of us will survive it, and frankly, maybe most of us don't deserve to. I do of course, because I get it, but most of these other freaks don't.
This reminds me, I need to take my meds
It's got to be the biggest threat since sliced bread. Or something. 🤪
@@adoredpariah Wokies do indeed hate people.
I would want a mass extinction event if I believed it too.
Obviously.
I had to go watch a full Club Random episode after watching this episode. Major appreciation for this incredibly understated but somehow also over-the-top parody
Nah, isn't that over the top
@@ITX-EcoClassmore like under the bottom, am i right? .... guys
Are you a bot? This seems 100% like a bot comment..
@@andreasvedeler80 i agree that nothing feels real anymore
@@andreasvedeler80 🤖🤖🤖
Tim just literally not listening to Fred and pushing his narrative whether Fred agrees or not
I just watched poor Lisa Kudrow being very polite and creeped out on Maher’s show … This is perfect. 😄👌
That is one creepy looking set he's created I can't get thru 2 minutes of a single Maher interview 😂
@@chah80 haha, it's very uncomfortable, it's not a good show
What woman wouldn't want to spend an hour with a whiny entitled alcoholic in a dimly lit basement
Nothing will ever top when he had Richard Dreyfuss on there. Most absurd thing ever and funnier than any parody.
@@pCeLobster it makes me vomit
I love the low key mockery of Bill Maher is great
not that low key
@@HenryMiller17agreed 😂
I find Maher impossible to watch.
Pot shots.
Has the real Bill gotten this faux bad? I haven't watched in years as don't respect the guy at all.
Maybe Tim would disagree, but I like that this took aim at Bill Maher. Really good shots at Bill Maher, or possibly not at Bill Maher at all. We would need Tim's word on that, but I don't know how we would get it.
Trust me Peter, it is a jab at Maher, you can bet your rapping career on it.
LMFAO Im regrettably not a regular watcher but he's doing an extended Maher thing here, no? This is so good
Yep, definitely 😂 the show intro is a direct parody of Maher's lousy podcast
No. Sadly, Heidecker went down the alt-right, IDW rabbit hole shortly after the election of Trump. This is the real Tim expressing the feelings and opinions of the real Tim.
@@termsofusepoliceTim has really disappointed me since 2016. He has always been edgy, but I didn't think he would turn out to be an actual scumbag.
@@somethingelse4424 Use complete sentences because you've merely embarrassed yourself with that kind of talk.
@@somethingelse4424ugh look hyde was gonna blow that deal anyway get over it already
'C'moon man!'. Tim is one of the greatest actors of our time, which of course is only a few minutes in TV time.
Forgetting the name of their guests' most popular show followed by saying how much he loved the show, thats Bill Maher alright
Just took my crab salts, ready to watch the full episode!
Fred is not sunken far enough down in his chair.....
This is so funny. Knowing these two I still forgot this was a parody. The talent on display.
Tim is telling it raw, uncut, uncensored, and people can’t handle it
The joke flew so far over your head it’s classified as a UFO…
Dude, this is satire. It’s fake. How can you think that anything that comes out of Tim Heidecker’s mouth isn’t done as a bit???
@@eyespy3001 unless you're trolling, cozyflannel's joke has in fact flown miles above your head
@@sleve_mcdichael that was sad to see lol
@@eyespy3001 we are all in on the bit here
@@eyespy3001the irony...
The real thing that did it for me was when they started cutting to the shitty overhead camera angles. This is brilliant work from the OHL team.
how do you get fred armisen to play the straight man? jesus. amazing.
This is really, really clever. Such a subtle yet savage burn of Bill Maher and Club Random that Bill might never even notice. This is so Tim, and his subtle and nuanced trolling makes Steven Colbert's former character look ham fisted and painfully obvious by comparison.
It's not that he won't notice it's that he wouldn't be able to understand
Stephen Colbert’s character was ham fisted and incredibly obvious though
It's not subtle at all you mong
@@ColAlbSmiStephen Colbert is the archetype of liberal coastal elites that conservatives/conservative band wagon jumping morons such as Maher, like to build their liberal coastal elite strawmen off of.
I mean, Maher has made a career as a snarky coastal elite liberal himself, which reminds us that hypocrisy isn't a conservative bug, it's a feature.
@@ColAlbSmiI enjoyed the ham-fisted portrayal but comedy these days needs a lighter touch like Tim's
He really nailed the “nah because look”
I know it’s a parody but I’d love to see Tim do long podcast type interviews. I think Tim was a guest on Maron’s one time.
"Parody". 😂 Cope. Tim's finally awoken to the woke insanity on the left. Blue haired globalists are in full meltdown !
Tim will not be deterred in telling Fred what his show is about! BRAVO! 👏
Portlandia took the piss out of crazily woke people yes, but in an affectionate way. Just watch the title sequence - Carrie and Fred loved all that mad stuff.
Come on! They depicted DEPLORABLE behavior on that show. The grocery clerk and the godamn manager, "what seems to be the problem". "no I'll tell her" They were making fun of assholes constantly. They are both genius's.
it’s like doing an interview with that uncle who says “I don’t want to be racist, but..” like every time you see him
Very brave of Fred to finally admit he was taking aim at the ultra libral 'keep portlandia weird' crowd of Prortland under the disguise of 'humor jokes'.
I’ll admit I watch most of the Bill Maher podcasts. This is a brilliant copy. Tim should’ve just acted a little more high and confused
Hahahaha doing a parody on Club Random is amazing. Tim nails Maher too perfectly.
It’s crazy how I know Tim Heidecker, I know his schtick(s), and I watch something with him, if even for just a second, I fuckin fall for it!! Lol
Love this Tim Maher guy
Genuinely thought this was club random for a second when I saw the thumbnail
This is perfect Bill Maher. Really well done as always Tim.
The fact that they can do this with a straight face makes me laugh even harder... just amazing.
I'm a Brit and find Bill Maher as hard to watch as this. 🇬🇧👍
Kudos for taking shots at awful Club Randumb
Hilarious shot at Club Random. Nearly interrupted the guest as much as Bill does!
Put a Bird On It! is one of my favorite sketches ever.
haha ripping on bill mahr! nice work tim
I'd love to see more of these style of interviews
The lamp camera angle was the cherry on top
What a funny idea that “Tim” thinks the whole point of Portlandia was to take shots at the woke culture of Portland. He just fundamentally misses it and is so confident.
@@anotherland2462 you can’t tell if the performance is sarcastic or my comment? The skit is satire so it’s all sarcasm buddy.
You know he's making fun of Bill Maher, don't you?
@@granudisimo yes I am aware that it’s a parody of Bill Mahers basement podcast. I’m referring to the fictional Tim that he’s playing in the sketch.
@@jonathanturkmusic Lol My bad, so many layers of irony it's easy to get lost.
@@granudisimo 😆honestly I’m glad he’s going so hard at Maher’s new bullshit basement thing, because Bill has made himself look ridiculous lately! Check out that clip with Marianne Williamson where he comes of as an out of touch rich prick lol so bad.
For someone who says they are pro gun control , he should be careful using phrases like “take aim” .
This is real late night shit - I like this raw shit like this. Love it Tim! Don’t let anyone talk over you.
I like Tim, but Fred is a loveable person. Their two personalities could not be more starkly different though 😂
Amazing, totally nailed it 😂
-Dude you were taking aim at punk rockers and feminists and all that stuff... Who did you do it with?
-Carrie Brownstein...
💀😂
Tim's best impression yet.
Lol, I was so annoyed until I saw the comments saying that this was parodying Bill Maher and it all started making sense
This is a comedic peak for oo live. This makes me giggle more than the rogan parody
All I can say is.. Fred Armisen... Brave
I was against the Iraq War
Easy there, Trotsky!
the best part of this is him not knowing who carrie brownstein is and just dismissing her whole existence as basically half the show by going “…yeah, you and her..”
Tim made good, pointed commentary about how Portlandia confronted wokeness, but it would have been nice if he had let Fred actually respond. The interrupting was annoying.
HAHAHA IM SO GLAD THEY DID THIS AND WITH FRED ITS SUCH A PERFECT PARODY
The issue is it presented portland as JUST those people, which brought a ton of those types of people to the city. -An Ex-Portlander
Tim is so brilliant at deadpan delivery.
Love that he's clipping this. So funny
Where did Decker stand on the Iraq war?
This is brilliant. He has Bill Maher down perfectly.
The smugness of pretending he knows better than the very people who made the show, and if you contradict him you're a bad person and a blue haired wokescold, even if it's your goddamned show he's talking about.
And he does it orders of magnitude better without even changing his voice, than most stereotypical impersonators would.
Brought here by Emma Vigland saying "I can't watch Club Random anymore without thinking of Time Heidecker's parody", and I'm like "whu?".
Verdict: PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I like the poster behind Tim.. “aren’t all numbers the same?” 😂
Tim's Bill Maher is absolutely spot on.
Portlandia was appreciative and affectionate towards Portland-and hilarious...it wasn't trying to promote a political "message" either way
Great to see you at Rams Head Live!
Fred's subtle micro aggressions in this are hilarious! Plays the perfect low key asshole. Is there an Emmy for sketches yet?
Yeah what I loved about Portlandia was it’s anti woke stance it was very libertarian. At it’s core it was actually about libertarianism.
Mmm, like that old quote; "sometimes the things we consume end up consuming us". I totally read fight club. I didn't just watch the movie.
The fact that the thumbnail had me convinced it was Bill for about 3 seconds…perfect
I love how Tim is always in character.
Everything about this is so great. The bricks, the booze. The way everything is set up is perfect. All that's missing is a cigar.
I wish Bill Maher would actually watch this
The Bill Maher impression is spot on, even down to his hand movements
I feel so stupid. Somehow, I didn't immediately know it's satire. "Huh. That's... Tim Heidecker? Interviewing...Fred Armisen? Could be ok. So, this is like a rip off of Bill Maher's show, like The Talk did with The View? Wow, Tim seems a lot different than last I saw him. He's a lot more serious and angry, guess he finally grew up. Hey... waaaaaait a minute..."
Portlandia was amazing! Feminists Books store was classic
Just discovered Portlandia 48 hours ago.
Unreal.
Unnnnnreal.
So funny.
I hope this series continues 😂
Laughed so hard I tore my neovagina and got shit all over my couch.
People always be thinking Comedians are just out to hurt people... Fred was clarifying again and again... "they were silly sketches".
Wokeism was crafted by Carl marks in hell
Fred plays funny characters, Tim just plays himself. They are not the same.
The angles & the light bulb hahaha
The bill trolling/impression is brilliant
Poe's Law hahahahah JFC Tim almost had me.
the B camera angles that they cut to are fucking hilarious.
Man, what the hell happened to Tim? Hard to believe this is the same guy who used to be a few lbs overweight. Gotta be the crab salts, right? Guy's crushin' it r/n.
The masterclass of improv, No and...
I give this five bags of popcorn!
That show… what was it called? Who was in it? Yeah, so let me tell you what was going on in that show…
"that couldnt have been more than four years ago?" "uh yeah, maybe 5... "
Maher just needs to drop the facade and rename his show "I'm scared of a changing world and here's xxxxxx to tell me it's not my fault"
I love bill but this is hilarious. Fred Armisen and Tim Heidecker are two of my favorite comedians.
