Especially when they’re talking about comedy and having other comedians on, I just find it such a drag. It’s so boring and dry and I don’t come to any real higher understanding of anything. And there’s just a million things to make fun of about it and the thing that always struck me about Rogan’s podcast, of which I’ve listened to some-enough to get it, I think, get the general point of view and everything-is just how boring it is. It’s amazing that they have this audience. They have huge audiences and it just blows our minds that anyone gives a shit what they have to say. On Office Hours, the podcast I do with Vic Berger and DJ Douggpound, we get a little obsessed with these characters, Rogan and Jordan Peterson and Tim Pool and all these people out there. But that one in particular got a lot of attention for you. In addition to making fun of comedy there is definitely a strain of making fun of this anti-woke comedy trend that we’re seeing in a lot of places, whether it’s the 12-hour Joe Rogan Experience parody that you did or other things. That just blew my mind, like, why is that off limits? Who cares? There’s a ton of speechy-style comedy that’s not quite making me laugh. I mean, a lot of it is confirmation bias and people like, “That’s how I feel, that’s how I think!” And, not to sound like Trump, but that’s on both sides too. So yeah, there’s just obviously a scourge of it right now and I don’t really understand the appeal of it.

It really looks professional and it looks like it should be good content and then it very rarely is. But I’ve noticed so many of these comedians use Instagram now, these very heavily edited clips with captions in big letters. It’ll just start showing up in certain sound effects I’m doing. Yeah, I mean, it’ll influence me in ways that I can’t predict. And I was watching that thinking, it’s hard to top that in terms of bad comedy, right?
I saw you shared his anti-vaccine bit that just went viral on Twitter. and I was testing out some new stuff but then I saw that Jim Breuer had posted his setlist for that night, and I was like, well, I’m just going to try to do his setlist. Just a few months ago, I did a show at Largo here in L.A. I mean, Jim Breuer has been a tremendous inspiration. And as soon as you discovered anything that was a little left of that or a little weirder than that, it made that feel very lame. But I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s and that was sort of the first big explosion of the brick wall comics and there was a certain corniness to it. I mean, I don’t want to name names, that’s kind of mean. Are there people that you take inspiration from in that way? It seems like the bit has evolved into you sort of representing everything that you don’t like about comedy or that you don't like about certain comedians. You can listen to the whole thing-including stories about the early days of Tim and Eric, getting mostly cut out of ‘Bridesmaids’ and a lot more-by subscribing to The Last Laugh on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts, and be the first to hear new episodes when they are released every Tuesday. “And it made us produce a lot of stuff, but we both kind of got lost in the personas of ‘Tim and Eric’ and I felt a little like, ‘Who am I and what do I want to do?’” They figured out “pretty quickly,” he adds, that finding their own separate projects “was the key to not having a bad break-up.”īelow is an edited excerpt from our conversation. “For the first several years, Eric and me, all our creative energy was going into our work together,” Heidecker says. Right before the pandemic, they put out a sitcom parody and toured together, but have since drifted apart creatively. Describing the “Tim and Eric” paradigm as “sort of limited,” Heidecker says, “There are ideas I would have that don’t really work in the ‘Tim and Eric’ world and they started finding other routes outside of ‘Tim and Eric.’ So it just kind of happened naturally.”

Along with Office Hours, his Adult Swim show On Cinema, and the Showtime series Moonbase 8, Heidecker’s latest project is one of many in recent years without his longtime comedy partner Eric Wareheim, who has been focusing on making wine and writing cookbooks.
