Chunky

In this fever-dream episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, multiple sketches collide in gloriously awkward fashion. The centerpiece is Carol and Mr. Henderson: Carol (Eric Wareheim in fat suit), a lovesick office worker who only has a printer at her desk, daydreams about her cruel boss Mr. Henderson before embarking on a weight-loss journey. Meanwhile, Cinco pitches the T'ird (a flying wheel hybrid of bird and turtle), Bob Odenkirk hosts Channel 5 Looking at Film with the painfully deadpan Glen Tennis (A.D. Miles) reviewing Crystal Shyps, Tim Heidecker performs a ventriloquist act with puppet Horsey (Eric) to snare-drum accompaniment by Richard Dunn, and Eric pranks Tim with spider webs while Tim weeps and vomits. The episode climaxes with Mr. Henderson smashing Carol with a coffeepot before breaking into a soaring, oddly tender love ballad — justifying his love in the only way Tim and Eric know how.

Episode title 'Chunky' refers to Carol's physique, the comedic centerpiece of the Carol and Mr. Henderson recurring sketch. Eric Wareheim plays Carol in a fat suit. The sketch is notable for the detail that Carol has only a printer (not a computer) at her office desk. The episode climaxes with Mr. Henderson's soaring love ballad, compared by fans to Elton John in style. Richard Dunn, a recurring presence in Tim & Eric, appears on snare drum during the ventriloquist sketch. Production code: 105. Original air date: March 11, 2007.
