Move over Dillon Francis, it’s time to throw some other comedic faces in the “EDM” spotlight. Maybe you know them from their commanding roles on several Adult Swim series, maybe you’ve seen them in a town near you on their recent successful comedy tour, or maybe you know them as the eccentric buddies of Zach Galifianakis and John C Reilly. That’s right, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, my favorite comedians and perhaps the silliest contributors to the EDM scene today. Maybe even all of music in general. Between befriending some major DJ hunks and always staying in the dead center of alternative culture, it’s no surprise Tim & Eric pop up consistently in this scene.

Here’s our top 5 reasons why Tim Heidecker & Eric Wareheim are the funniest dudes in EDM:

1. Major Lazer Collabs:

Eric Wareheim has teamed up with Diplo and Major Lazer on a few occasions to provide some insane music video creations from the depths of his twisted mind. Not only did Eric and ML team up, but it was for some of their most popular videos to date, garnishing millions and millions of views. Check them out below:

Major Lazer – “Keep It Goin’ Louder” ft. Nina Sky, Ricky Blaze:

Major Lazer – “Bubble Butt” ft. Bruno Mars, 2 Chainz, Tyga & Mystic:

2. Flying Lotus Collabs:

Not only has Eric Wareheim directed and produced an insanely NSFW video for Fly Lo’s “Parisian Goldfish/Dance Floor Dale”, but Flying Lotus also remixed Tim & Eric’s “One For Pep Pep” as shown below:

3. DJ Douggpound & The Dutch Boys:

Doug Lussenhop AKA DJ Douggpound serves as editor, writer, musician, and collaborator with Tim & Eric.  He has been touring the world with T&E with his DJ Douggpound project, as well as with Eric Wareheim as The Dutch Boys. Known for their heavy trap beats and fancy dance moves, The Dutch Boys took on Australia a couple years back and are excitingly aboard next month’s Mad Decent Boat Party festival cruise. Check out DJ Douggpound and The Dutch Boys below:

4. The C-Strut:

I believe this started at Coachella, but regardless, Eric Wareheim and DJ Douggpound are absolutely hysterical with their walking/dancing hybrid move dubbed “The C-Strut” as seen below:

5. Wrong Cops:

Eric Wareheim stared in a movie called ‘Wrong Cops‘ which is directed, produced, and scored by Ed Banger frontman MR. OIZO. (The movie also features Marilyn Manson and a tiny cameo from Diplo). And it’s available on Netflix!! Check out the trailer below:

6. R/D:

Did you know that West-Coast bass producer/DJ and music connoisseur R/D served as the Sound Designer for the first 2 seasons of the Tim & Eric Awesome Show?!?! Now you do!!

WORTH MENTIONING:

It’s absolutely worth mentioning that outside of EDM, Tim & Eric have worked with some pretty big musicians like Ben Folds, Depeche Mode, and MGMT, just to name a few. Check out some more music videos below:
