The Life & Times of Tim
这部剧是08年下半年冒出来好得出人意外的爆笑小喜剧。本来作者想拍个电视剧,但找不到真人演出,又找不到动画师帮他画,于是就自己摸索著用动画软体做了个短片,然后拿去参展,竟然被HBO看上,就此搬上萤幕,成为继Flight of the Conchords后,HBO又一最新喜剧杰作。本剧围绕主人公TIM的工作生活展开,讲述了这个囧男每天被同事调侃,被女友折腾,被朋友涮锅的种种窘事。整集25分钟的动画,虽说没有笑的前仰后合,不过一直是让人欲笑还抑之的状态。虽然画面很简单,甚至可以用简陋来形容,不过精彩诙谐的对白完全弥补了画面的缺憾,甚至使原本简单的画面更透出一股灵气。更加值得一提的是,本剧的配音演员口齿清晰,发音纯正,语速虽然快,不过用词简单,是难得的学习口语的优秀教材。不过先提一下,毕竟是成人动画,所以有些段子还是有点颜色的,不要把它想象成PG或者是G级别的动画。
