Weird post time.

I was watching some old Tim & Eric a few weeks ago. For the most part I've really enjoyed their avant garde type humor through the years.
I got a youtube recommendation for this 4 hour court room/trial satire they did a few years back and I vaguely remember when they aired it, but didn't watch it then. The entirety is below but first this Spin article does a good enough job synopsizing it.

"The Heidecker of the On Cinema/Decker universe is a musician dabbling in cock-rock (Dekkar) and EDM (DKR). At a certain point, he also became a budding vape entrepreneur, working with a supposed medical professional Luther Sanchez (aka “Dr. San”) to develop his own vape line, TCH Vape Systems. They also hosted an EDM-heavy music festival, which came complete with an insanely good fake poster, at which they promoted and sold the vape pens. Then came the aftermath: “Dr. San” was not a real doctor, the vape juice was lethal, 20 concertgoers died from inhaling with 150+ more suffering from medical issues and side effects. Dr. San went to prison, but after he committed suicide in his cell, Heidecker, his entrepreneurial partner, was charged with second-degree murder and forced to account for his role in the tragedy."

I saw someone describe the over 4 hour video as a "slow burn" and I think that's putting it lightly. I haven't watched it all the way through, but from all indication, there really isn't that wacky/trippy vibe so much of their stuff has. It's more a straight forward satire, and I think the length is probably part of the joke. But that's kind of beside my point. As indicated in the Spin article, Tim plays some scummy dude who is accused of murder after a very similar vape tragedy to the one we've been having in this supposed greater reality we share. I thought it was a very curious coincidence. Did they just brainstorm the idea or was there some kind of rumor of this thing happening years back in their hollywood circles? Occult stuff perhaps? Again, a very strange coincidence and some even link the failed concert in the parody to the Fyre Festival shitshow failed real life festival. Maybe a bit more predictable, but another weird coincidence for sure.

Thoughts?
