Last week, my father sent me a link to a video for something called ‘B’Owl,’ which I found, well, strange. It was funny in a strange, awkward way, like when your wheelchair-bound grandmother tries to figure out a TiVo remote. Are you supposed to roll your eyes? Are you supposed to help? Are you supposed to stifle a laugh and leave the room before something tragically comic happens?

I figured the show was worth another look, so I found an entire episode. It took a tipping point named ‘John C. Reilly’ to push me over the edge, and I can now faithfully say that ‘Tim and Erik Awesome Show Great Job!’ is brilliant. Fast forward to 2:16 in, when ‘the only married news team’ segment starts and Dr. Steve Brule, played by Reilly, plays your greengrocer.

Advisory: Neither eat nor drink when watching this.

And as an added bonus, you can see what my brother’s doppelganger looks like at 7:59 in. That’s just freaky … this kid looks exactly like my brother.

My friend Katie just sent me a link to McSweeney’s ‘Recommends’ section, and ‘Awesome Show’ is currently on the list. I do hope this show will stay on for the rest of my life. Thanks for the tip, dad.
