What's It All About? Unexceptional in every way, Tim still manages to regularly find himself in exceptional circumstances — such as having an angry, unpaid hooker in his apartment on the day his girlfriend's parents come to visit or being promoted at work under the condition that he pretend to be Latino in order to satisfy his company's diversification requirements. Much like its main character, The Life & Times of Tim is charming in its simplicity, employing understated animation and deadpan delivery from its voice cast to make the outrageous seem ordinary — and, more importantly, very funny.
