I made an account five minutes ago (mostly just to ask you this question):

As a mentor of sorts to Tim & Eric (or at least, you seem like you are sometimes) do you think their style of comedy (which they didn't necessarily invent but popularized) is basically, the future of comedy? Because it almost seems like it is. There are thousands of people on youtube who do something called "Youtube Poops" that are basically amateurish attempts at this style (by which i mean, humor in glitchy editing and pushing the boundaries of taboo humor with unbridled enthusiasm, as well as other things; not just videos of excrement, which is what it sounds like), and major corporations use T&E-style humor in their advertising. Tim & Eric Humor is even becoming more popular in other countries with stuff like The Peter Serafinowicz show, and even non-humor-related entertainment is starting to genuinely look like the Jim & Derrick episode lately.

To summarize: Are Tim & Eric (and your old show Mr. Show, monty python, etc.) really defining what comedy is going to mostly be like from now on? Or is it just a really, really REALLY awesome fad?

I was originally diagnosed with Tourettes, OCD, Aspergers and ADHD, but now with the new DSM my official diagnosis is just Autism Spectrum Disorder. Is that really more accurate than my old diagnosis? Why was the DSM changed in that way?
