Oh lay an egg

In this absurdist commercial parody, Tim and Eric present competing price businesses in a split-screen format. Tim advertises "Tim's Discount Prices" offering low prices like "9.99 for 0.00" and "2.99 for 5.50." Eric counters with "Eric's Premium Prices," promoting "fine European prices" that are somehow "American made," offering deals like ".49 for .00" and mentioning luxury materials like "creamulum." The sketch escalates from competitive pricing claims into increasingly bizarre and hostile accusations, with Tim warning customers that Eric is a liar who will "cut his head off" and ultimately warning that Eric will rape customers. The comedy satirizes the absurdity of competitive advertising through surreal price comparisons, contradictory claims, and extreme character assassination.

The sketch parodies low-budget local television commercials with cheap production values. Features split-screen presentation showing both competitors simultaneously. The video has gained over 5 million views on YouTube since its upload on May 20, 2009. The phrase "fine European prices made in America" has become particularly memorable among fans.
