THE CADDY’S SHACK

Its 9am and the guys are wasted, so Amy gets pissed and tells Tim he has to get a job and recommends he gets the caddy job back and as it turns out Tim was a legend and his boss welcomes him back with open arms. On his first day. he runs into an old friend from his childhood named Paul, that is just there playing around with his other corporate friends and probably showing Tim a glimmer of what his life could’ve been. Meanwhile, this other character named Uncle Lou and his cohort of teenage caddies keep busting Tim’s balls so they challenge him to a competition to see who has the bigger…um balls? Mainly, because the loser gets to fuck the 18th hole, which in this case turns out to be a 14 year old kid conspiring with Lou and the rest of the guys to hit Tim up with kiddy porn charges unless if he becomes Lou’s personal bitch slave at his house. But, while Tim is doing chores he gets bailed out of his icky situation when mother nature bites the shit out of Lou leaving him for dead, and setting Tim free.

THE SAUSAGE SALESMAN

Andrew Daly, Rob Corddry

Stu gets a job as a sausage salesman due to his expert analysis and taste-testing skills. At a big event for sausages, the guy running the company puts on a big show getting people all amped up for selling sausages including Tim, Stu, and Matt but when Amy’s dad Richard threatens to end the relationship between his daughter and Tim,  Tim lies about being a sausage salesperson for the tri-state area and Amy goes along with it. However, all this does is it gets Rich all excited for selling sausages, so he quits his job and meets up with the sausage guy to try and get a job. But, when he tries to name drop Tim, Rich finds out that the job was way too good to be true.

Growing up I had always loved sports comedies, and golf was no different giving us both Caddy Shack, and Happy Gilmore. However, trying to be a caddie in a down economy has to be one of the most novel concepts in a long time, one would think that you would have to reach the bottom rung of life to have to be a caddie for a country club. Steve Dildarian knows this, and that’s why Caddy’s shack was soo good and I don’t know if anyone could have made this more apparent then the bull shit that Stephen Root was pulling on Tim. Ohh man was that funny. Even better was the end of that short, which might go down as one of the funniest ever, as it almost reminded me of early “Its Always Sunny” episodes but with that show youo had four different components mixed together, whereas with “Life and Times” you get just one, Tim…and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

PS the entire time through the Sausage Salesman short, I kept thinking of this song over and over…Christ help me…lol
