What is Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule (TV) About?
'Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule' is a spin-off of 'Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!' aired on Adult Swim. John C. Reilly features as the titular Dr. Steve Brule, an awkward, childlike character delivering life advice, interviewing local celebrities, conducting experiments, and learning about everyday life. The show's unique style is from its satirical portrayal of low-budget public-access television, characterized by crude production qualities. These include visible booms, abrupt cuts, and overtly poor quality chroma key. The humor derives mainly from Brule's lack of understanding of the topics he explores, his physical comedy, and the apparent obliviousness of the people he interacts with. As the series progressed, it delved into darker territory, suggesting traumatic elements in Brule's past.
The first episode of Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule aired on May 16, 2010 and the most recent episode to air was on July 29, 2016.
