Tom Goes to the Mayor

Definition

An absurdist Adult Swim comedy series created by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim featuring the perpetually optimistic Tom Peters pitching increasingly bizarre business ideas to his town's incompetent mayor. It's like watching someone try to reason with chaos itself, except the chaos wears a suit.

Example Usage

After binging Tom Goes to the Mayor all weekend, I can't tell if I'm enlightened or just deeply confused about comedy.
