    Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
    ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
    TeenzTen An action-packed slog
    SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
    O2D I love this show in small doses.While it's very funny and just bizarre, I seem to be only able to watch three or four episodes before I fall asleep.The animation(if you can call it that) is extremely strange.They just use still pictures of people and then paint them blue and white.The people's mouths never move and somehow that just makes it funnier.I'm always amazed by the amount of guest stars this show had.Tim and Eric clearly had lots of connections in Hollywood even though they have never had any success.Even though I called this classic Tim and Eric, it's also classic Bob Odenkirk.He is in almost every episode(maybe all of them, I didn't really keep track) and he usually plays a different character each time.He's extremely funny and it's too bad most of his "fans" will never even know this existed.If you like to laugh, you should really watch this show.
    dj_blue_plasma I have seen this show three times, the first time was because I was flicking through channels and I thought it was a really stupid commercial. I soon realized that it was in fact a TV show, and I could not believe that it was possible to have a show this awful on television. The second time I watched the show was again out of disbelief because I still thought it was an animated short whipped up by the network during a commercial break. The jokes are not funny, too much live acting, and no story makes this show the perfect recipe for failure that any creator/producer would have nightmares about being part of. The third time was because I knew that it was an actual show by now, and I realized that there must be an audience. So, I sat through it to see what was great about it. I didn't laugh once; there was no story, no plot, nothing! Not even any animation! It's like someone just took pictures of each page in a children's book with illustrations, and recorded themselves reading it, and then called it an animated production. However, a children's book has a plot, and effort.I am not exaggerating the slightest bit here, if you don't believe me, watch it for yourself. It was obviously bad enough that I went out of my way to make an account on this website, just so I could comment on how appalling this show is. Watch it for yourself, and if you have any appreciation for animation, you'll make an account on here too.Someone please start a petition to get this show canceled so that real animated productions can take its place!
    lakerfan316 Tom Goes to the Mayor finds its humor in the things in everyday life that aren't amusing unless you look. In real life getting something bronzed is not funny. In TGTTM the creators put enough of a twist on it to make it absurd and hilarious. A user comment prior to this one said that this show is trying to have dry humor but it doesn't work. Although there is some dry humor (Tom referring to a hobo infestation as a "bum rush"), this show gets its laughs at being ironic; making fun of normal and mundane this. I beginning to believe that all people who are aqua team and robot chicken fans and not TGTTM fans have ADD. TGTTM has all the same humor that other adult swim shows have but with actual substance and new material in between. Like Aqua Team, TGTTM has people throwing up and senseless violence. Like Robot Chicken, it has poop jokes (but higher class poop jokes such as "Hi, I'm Tom Peters, but you can call me poop.") I love this show because it has every kind of humor rolled up into one, you just have to be smart enough to notice it.
    voodoomoose Tom Goes to the Mayor is quite possibly one of the best shows on Adult Swim. I was pleased to see that Adult Swim had more on their mind than simply ratings. They must've noticed that their late night programming was getting stagnant and repetitive with the hours of anime, and the line up of retro animation that everyone loves to duplicate. Tom Goes to the Mayor breathes new life into Adult Swim by integrating jokes that make no sense at first, but really grow on the viewer. Unlike Super Milk Chan and Robot Chicken, TGttM does not heavily rely on simply calling someone "a dumbass" repeatedly for laughs, and it doesn't focus on sexual innuendos and testicles to get people to enjoy the show.The low-quality animation makes the entire show seem more real, especially since it's actual people who are being photographed while making strange expressions. But what I enjoy about TGttM is that you really feel for Tom and his plight.
