Eric Wareheim and Tim Heidecker shook up the world of Adult Swim with their divisive animated series Tom Goes to the Mayor. With the simple premise of a small town man, Tom [played by Heidecker], every week coming up with a new idea which he presents to the town’s mayor [played by Wareheim] who twists it into something awful. Tom Goes to the Mayor is chock full of insane humor and guests stars like Jack Black and Sarah Silverman. The show’s cult popularity has led to Tim and Eric’s new Adult Swim show Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! While it appears Tom Goes to the Mayor will not have any new episodes all the previous shows are now collected into one DVD.

"Tom Goes to the Mayor" co-creators Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim return with a 15-minute sketch comedy show that feels like a cross between "Second City Television" and "Ren & Stimpy." Like "Saul of the Mole Men," the execution is deliberately amateurish, this time in a cable-access sort of way. Heidecker and Wareheim handle most of the characters, but look out for appearances by David Cross, Zach Galifianakis, Fred Willard, and John C. Reilly, who is a riot as a mouth-breathing medical expert on a local TV station. Not just for stoners and slackers, although the appeal is surely there.

Fans who e-mail them range from "young kids who are fascinated by it because it's so weird to college students who understand it, to older people who like comedy in their 30s," Wareheim said. The series takes place in fictional Jefferton, a wasteland of buffet restaurants and power lines. Each 15-minute episode finds new resident and hopeless screw-up Tom Peters visiting the mayor's office — located in a nondescript strip mall — with some ridiculous entrepreneurial idea. Invariably, things go horribly awry, whether Tom is promoting a calculator shaped like a unicorn (which always spits out the wrong number) or investing in a pyramid scheme involving porcelain birds.

Drama ensues when Eric has to compete for his children's respect, against the coolness of the Heidecker family. “Kid Break” returns with a rap about kissing your sister. The newest Cinco product, "Thocks" combines the thong and the sock into one piece of clothing that will spice up your wardrobe. Spagett attempts to spook and surprise people on his hidden camera show. Eric looks for his Chippy in a Thanksgiving dinner. David Liebe Hart sings about his love for one of his puppets.
