I actually think the presenters were very intellectual and knew a lot of facts and were aware of tims history , they did a great job and i think tim was won over by the irish charm then the fan boy came in and he just couldnt be as problematic as he can be in interviews i honestly think this was tim being as true as you can get from this MF
Tim managed not to do his old schtick of trolling interviewers whilst also not selling out to corporate rubbish here. Unbelievable skill to balance being a gentleman, staying in character & being himself. It looks 'normal' but is subtly masterful. 10/10.
@@A1i3N337 Ive seen him twice in person and been following him for over 10 years. I can definitely tell when he's in-character usually but he is not really doing anything here that's so different from when he's talked "normal" on his office hours before besides doing a more mellow effect. But my bad man I'll go back to listening to pod save america as you seemed to have nailed me as not being one of the high IQ non-normies who "gets" it!
He seems to mostly play bits and characters in interviews when he's either with Eric or Gregg. In solo interviews he seems to be himself more often than not. I think because when he's with Eric they seem very keen on trying to make each other laugh in interviews, and when he's with Gregg he's playing his On Cinema character. Also it must be exhausting to do that so it's probably nice to have interview moments where you can just be you. Even Kaufman had his moments of sincerity on camera.
Sam Hyde has been copying Tim for 20 years, look at early MDE stuff. Sam didn't cut out the ironic Anti-S stuff, not cool, and impossible in Hollyweerd.
