Background: Absolutely Productions (pronounced “Abso-lutely”) is the company of surrealist comedy duo Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim. Although the company is spelled "Absolutely" in their logo, they are often referred to as "Abso Lutely" (even by Tim & Eric themselves, if their Twitter account is any indication) due to how it is pronounced and to differentiate it from another company with that namesake.
(June 5, 2006-)
Abso-lutely - Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! - Adult Swim
Logo: On a black background, we see a home video (from VHS) of the father of Tim Heideker, shirtless with a pink hat, with the time stamp "JUN, 28 1991" in the bottom right-hand corner. He turns to the camera and says the word "Ab-so, lutely!". As he says the word, the pink text "ABSOLUTELY" pops up part-by-part below the box.
Variants:
- A still variant of this logo popped up at the end of Tim & Eric's Billion-Dollar Movie, with the extra word "FILMS" below "ABSOLUTELY"
- On The Eric Andre Show episode "Bird Up", Eric Andre appears instead of Tim's dad.
- On The Eric Andre Shows’s second season finale, the logo is glitched with the "Ab-so, lutely" being played multiple times, sort of a parody of the YouTube Poop video compilations on its respective site.
FX/SFX: Live-action.
Music/Sounds: The man's voiceover and some hissing in the background (attributable to the VHS tape the footage was sourced from).
Availability: Common. First seen on the Tom Goes to the Mayor season two episode "My Big Cups", and on almost every single show from and/or co-produced by Tim & Eric ever since, such as Nathan for You, Tim & Eric Awesome Show Good Job!, Check It Out! with Steve Brule, Comedy Bang! Bang! and much more.
Scare Factor: None. This is a funny logo and a favourite of people who watch the company‘s shows.
