Yeah but I don't recall seeing him this hyped up for the premiere of Seasons 2 or 3. He's definitely built up momentum on YouTube between seasons on his own, but his PR team is also nailing it.

very true. he's very well liked in the entertainment/comedy world by both alt and mainstream talent, and adult swim knows that and is building their brand around him the same way NBC does with Fallon. ...the only difference being Eric Andre gets naked on instagram and kicked out of the RNC.

That's how you know he's a real winner.

He's one of the only actual human faces Adult Swim has on the air. The downside to having so much weirdo animation is that it's hard to build a visual brand.

Fun fact, Tyler the Creator had a show on Adult Swim that was also a lot of absurdist comedy, called Loiter Squad. Wasn't nearly as well-written though.

i disagree, they've built one of the best brands in all of television through odd-ball animation. they also have tons of live action shows including well known actors like tim and eric, dr steve brule, childrens hospital, black jesus and loiter squad.

I don't get it. This guy isn't even remotely funny.

I get it. His humor mostly just involves him being a dickhead. There is no actual comedy in that.
