Tim Heidecker #pizzagate ( pizzagate )

submitted by Throeaweigh

I've always found Tim Heidecker creepy as fuck and never liked the guy -

There's a final scene from his movie 'The Comedy' in which he plays with a boy on the beach - it's really creepy.

So when this stuff came out I googled Tim Heidecker pizzagate, and check these (rather cryptic and completely inconclusive) tweets that he made -

Note that these tweets were made 2 minutes between each other on the 11/11/2016

Another interesting thing is that Tim Heidecker and Eric Werheim did a viral advertising campaign for Totinos Pizza Rolls

It's called 'Pizza Freaks Unite'

After going quiet after Trumps win (and some very bitter podcasts on his 'Office Hours' podcast about Hillary's loss) He made these tweets mocking pizzagate on his twitter

I'm going to listen to his latest office hours podcast to see what he says about pizzagate (I'm sure it's him mocking the whole concept)

Being creepy is Tim and Erics trademark. People legitametly enjoy pizza, and Tim and Eric's show mostly appeals to stoners, probably late at night, it would make sense to mention the ultimate munchy: pizza! They've had sketches about spaghetti too. They're weird, but they probably aren't involved. If they were into this shit they'd have a lot more money to do bigger things. Their shows and movies are low budget.

And James Alefantis is just a pizza shop owner and Amanda Kleinman just a C list rock star in a band you've never heard of. Maybe Heidecker did a 'video art installation' for a late night party? Who knows. (but I see where you're coming from and you could be right)

I'm waiting for his latest Office Hours podcast to go online soon, he apparently addresses pizzagate in that.

That one where he's singing pizza parade...his face is all sweaty...he could have someone honking on bobo while singing. Gak.

"wanna look for absurdist sketches that mention pizza and use them to to dilute the important pedophilia investigation with dumb shit?" "do i ever"

Here's a description of the movie 'The Comedy' written by and starring Heidecker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Comedy

His extremely sarcastic sense of humor attracts a waitress, who he takes onto his boat. While undressing, she suffers a seizure, which Swanson observes with vague interest. Swanson's friend Van (Eric Wareheim) shows the group a slide show of photos from his childhood interspersed with pornographic images as a gag. Despite some initial laughs, the group falls silent and everyone appears saddened, including Van, who solemnly continues the slide show. In the final scene of the film, Swanson visits the beach, where he plays in the water with a young child, an activity he seems to genuinely enjoy.

Had a feeling this would be the response, sorry. If I could find a clip of the last scene in 'The Comedy' you'd understand why I think he's so creepy. Watch the movie.

Anyone who goes over the top about pizza in this manner is, in my view, extremely suspect. I hated watching those clips though - this guy is not in the least bit funny.
