Default The Chair Company (Spoilers)

So the first 4 episodes were great, but after that 5th episode this show has to have it's own thread. That may be most insane 30 minutes of TV I've ever seen, with the chef's kiss at the end making the most of that HBO money Tim has now. I'm not even sure what else to mention, there's just so much. But I'm definitely not saying #### if I ever see someone about to dunk their elbow into a bowl of cheddar soup

It's an excellent show. I managed to convince my wife to watch with me every week and she's found it to be good. Though I'm not sure how the ending of the last episode made her feel. Lol.


Overall, this is exactly what I wanted from a show from Tim and Zach. It's really just a super long skit from I Think You Should Leave.

I don't know where he finds these actors but they are all just straight up characters.

The Menswear salesman stole the show.

Apparently the menswear salesman is just a real menswear salesman they found somewhere. It was his first acting role.

It's so good. Repeating my thoughts from the TV thread here:

Classic unhinged Tim Robinson dialogue but in Curb Your Enthusiasm scenarios.

I can't get the Red Ball Market Global hold song out of my head.

I was instantly reminded of that giant red ball that was here in Calgary years ago. It was on the Peace bridge one day.

Binge watched the first 5 episodes.

Very very weird. Can’t say I’m entertained.

As far as Tim Robinson goes, it's possibly his least weird TV thing. Lol

Even for HBO the end of the last episode was something else. Someone on TCC Reddit was saying it was edited in their country.

I've heard that's a very aggressive store.

The last scene of episode 5 is definitely nuts.

I also found it quite odd. We know he’s a perv, this seems a bit much.
