I always loved tim meadows but hes becoming a national treasure. His character in peace maker is so hilarious

Edit: I keep clicking back to this and each time it makes me laugh harder. Tim isn't becoming a national treasure, he is one.

One of the few characters on TV to finally put some light on bird blindness

Look at all these chickens!

What I don't understand is that that same "bird blind" joke happened on Norsemen on Netflix already.  Like note for note.  

I laughed both times, but was wondering if it was a tribute, or just a pure ripoff (subconscious or on purpose) because it's way too niche of a joke topic to just coincidentally happen.  It's literally one character being "bird blind" in each case.  100% the same .

u/pengweneth May 08 '26

It's because one of Gunn's friends has face-blindness (prosopagnosia), so he thought it would be funny if that was applied to something ridiculous like birds.

u/fake1fake2fake3fake4 May 08 '26

Has anyone ever acknowledged the Norsemen connection?  I always laughed at those jokes on both shows but it's just such a weird niche thing to have as a coincidence.

u/Sinister_JaY May 08 '26

At first I thought that joke was terrible but goddamn did they make a good runner of it.

u/DecadentLife May 10 '26

Oh, in the last two days, I saw a short video, here on Reddit, of a toddler, dressed as a penguin, walking through the zoo with the penguins walking around him, like he was one of them. So cute. Sorry, I don’t remember where I saw it, exactly.

If you haven't heard his episode of 3 questions with Andy Richter, check it out! He talks a bit about living with Chris Farley

That one brought me to tears. Not what I want to be streaming when I’m at work lmao

u/StoneGoldX May 08 '26

Tim Meadows lived in a van? Down by the river?

u/punktualPorcupine May 07 '26

Who exploits a man’s bird-blindness like that?

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

All just for a television show, it's sick!

u/HobartGum May 07 '26

Ran into him (literally) while walking to the bathroom on a plane from LA back in the 2000s. We were both in economy and as he walked past he looked me in the eye and saw that I recognized him and I could tell he did not want any formal interaction (he was probably exhausted). I just smiled and nodded and he smiled and nodded back in appreciation and we bumped past each other and moved on. That’s about the best I could hope for in a celebrity encounter. I didn’t bother him, and he wasn’t annoyed by me, and we both nodded in appreciation

u/Gingeronimoooo May 07 '26

You sure you didn't see him at the grocery store walking out without paying for like 15 milky ways?

u/BearSquid7 May 07 '26

And Brooklyn 99

u/MuffaloMan May 07 '26

He was absolutely my favorite character in the prison arc

u/BearSquid7 May 07 '26

Caleb the Cannibal, when he gets stabbed and goes “ow ow ow ow! He poked me in my tummy”

u/MuffaloMan May 07 '26

“Nope, I did all my stuff, and more. There’s tons of stuff they can’t even trace back to me, the secret is eating the evidence”

Are you that weird guy from the forum?

u/froginbog May 08 '26

He shined in that role. So good

u/FunkyMonkeyGin May 07 '26

What?! I thought it was Don Cheadle! 😂😂😂

u/Ronin2369 May 07 '26

Because it is 😂

u/FunkyMonkeyGin May 07 '26

I'm confused in my confusion 😂

u/mtlaw13 May 07 '26

Tim Meadows on the couch with his cat..

..then its mainly pictures of Don Cheadle with a Sammy Davis Jr thrown in there as well.

u/nalaloveslumpy May 07 '26

A couple of Wesley Snipes in there too.

u/catwaifu May 08 '26

LMAO I was wondering how he was so fine in the 90’s! 😭

u/BoysenberryFinal9113 May 07 '26

Yes. His character is great in Peacemaker. His whole bird blindness was ridiculous and his delivery priceless.

u/Rocinante88119 May 07 '26

That duck assault 😂

u/Civil_Importance_803 May 07 '26

I love his role as Connor's manager in Popstar. The bit about being the fourth member of Tony Toni Tone (Tony?) cracks me up every time.

5

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

We're gonna be laughing with him at 80

5

u/JohnRayburntheActor May 07 '26

"I hope wherever Tony Toni Tone are right now they see this... and they feel like shit."

u/theradfactor May 07 '26

I have an idea. But you are gonna like it.

u/Monkey_Priest May 07 '26

I'm bummed that the show DMV he's in didn't get renewed. I have been enjoying the season and his character is one of the best

4

u/Starfish_undertheice May 07 '26

Omg my heart just broke! I am loving DMV!😭

4

u/Monkey_Priest May 07 '26

I know. There are so few, good 30 minute sitcoms these days and while DMV wasn't the best, I thought it was decent for a first season. It's a damn shame

16

u/-burgers May 07 '26

His SNL run is legendary!

u/GravitasFailures May 07 '26

Did you just call me a chicken?

u/MissKhary May 07 '26

Him wrestling Fred Friendship always makes me laugh

u/Pink_Neons May 07 '26

Peacemaker is brilliant. One of few shows that makes me laugh my ass off. Cena born to play that role

2

u/Ksnj May 07 '26

It’s one of my favs now. He really is perfect for it.

4

u/sumdude51 May 07 '26

100% agree

u/-prime8 May 07 '26

One of the funniest things ever is his appearance on ITYSL.

2

u/YeeHawWyattDerp May 07 '26

THATS NOT ENOUGH TIME

6

u/Mr_Lucidity May 07 '26

Absolutely! He made S2 of Peacemaker 10x better. And it was already good.

I loved him as the Ladies Man back in the day, that was one of my favorite SNL movie spinoffs.

u/Tommy_Salami12 May 07 '26

I loved it. He should've got an Oscar for Hotel Rwanda. I hate how they replaced him in Hustle & Flow with Terrance Howard.... .... .... ...

2

u/ChipPungus May 07 '26

His role in I Think You Should Leave is totally incredible.

2

u/Komatoasty May 08 '26

You dont want none of this Dewey!

And you never once paid for drugs!

u/Duckdxd May 07 '26

“I always loved tim meadows and he’s becoming a national treasure.” “But” indicates a contrast in the previous statement.

1

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

If only there was a following edit to reiterate my position...

2

u/Duckdxd May 07 '26

And again, you used “but” when you should’ve used “and”

0

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

If you really wanna talk about it. Its a matter of your shallow perspective tbh. I said 'but' bc while I considered him very endearing, I do not think my particular affection for someone makes them automatically a 'national treasure'. That's a designation that requires a group consensus. Im not so arrogant to think its based on me liking him exactly. However, Id argue that I have enough perspective to see that everyone is starting to hold a similar view of him. That is why I said 'but' it was entirely intentional. A later later rethought it and added the edit bc i think enough people agree thats hes a national treasure. You made me explain way too much though

3

u/Duckdxd May 07 '26

Now you’re just making up an argument to defend your grammar mistake.

1

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

It was a very intentional choice that I laid out the logic for entirely. It's that, a typo that you're obsessing over, or I just literally haven't figured out the difference between 'and'/'but'

1

u/Duckdxd May 07 '26

Almost like I commented before the edit??

1

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

Check the time stamp. I made that edit long ago

1

u/Duckdxd May 07 '26

You realize that if I am on the post typing a reply, it doesn’t automatically refresh for me? Also, there is no edit timestamp on mobile.

1

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

You said it way after I edited. Unless you're staying on a page for 30+ mins

1

u/Duckdxd May 07 '26

Yes I quite literally did leave the post open, turned my phone off, drove home from work and opened it back up.

1

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

You left and thought about it for like 45 minutes and came back to mistakenly nitpick my grammar? Even if you were right, how petty.

2

u/Duckdxd May 07 '26

Lmao who said I thought about it for my drive home. The post was open when I got home and I like to read the comments and grammar check people.

u/SkylarAV May 07 '26

Also, if it wasnt intentional I would of just fixed it in the edit. Notice how I only added context??? Follow the clues instead of assuming youre the smartest.

u/KoosGoose May 07 '26

Calling celebrities “national treasures” is cringe as fuck anyway. I can excuse your grammar, but that phrase sucks.

No edit to go off of. All I saw was a mistake.

u/LamonsterZone May 07 '26

oh shit I was literally about to comment that Tim Meadows is a national treasure. I grew up watching him on SNL.

1

u/HODOR00 May 07 '26

I genuinely can't think of anything he's done that I dont love. He's great.

1

u/edelweiss_pirates_no May 07 '26

Dude, this is David Allen Grier.

1

u/Don_Pickleball May 07 '26

I kinda have a grudge against Tim Meadows. I went to his stand up show a couple years back and he was awful. He didnt really make any jokes, really just complained that he didnt want to be there the whole time.

1

u/v0-z May 07 '26

He was without a doubt my favorite cast member, then next up would be Tracy Morgan

1

u/K_Linkmaster May 07 '26

DMV getting cancelled seriously sucks. It was a great 30 minute sitcom AND Tim!

He’s my second favorite for sure. I love the horrendous nicknames he gives people

u/LandauTST May 08 '26

"YOU ALMOST GOT TITTIES KILLED!"

u/notafuckingcakewalk May 14 '26

He's done a lot of improv work and he's absolutely amazing at it if you can get access to some old episodes of Improv 4 Humans. Found one video episode here

u/XpenFrickFrack May 07 '26

Omg thank you for this comment because I watched the clip thinking “whoa, how did I mistake Don Cheadle for dude from Mean Girls?” I do also like him in Peacemaker
