Tim Heidecker Is Making A Full-Length Tony Hinchcliffe Parody Called ‘Kill Timmy’
Austin, Texas, who’s ready for the best fucking parody of their lives?
This week, Tony Hinchcliffe and his wildly popular podcast, live show and amateur comedy showcase Kill Tony came to Netflix for the first of three streaming specials that the controversial conservative comedian will follow with a new Netflix-exclusive hour of stand-up. Hinchcliffe’s four-part megadeal came on the heels of his disastrous set at the Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden back in October 2024, where his predictable, unoriginal and racist routine forced now-President Trump to distance himself from the comic amid international outcry. I guess some entire races of people just don’t understand roast comedy.

Absurdist comedian Tim Heidecker, on the other hand, has such an advanced understanding of insult humor that he’s not just a Hinchcliffe fan — he’s also a Hinchcliffe imitator. After coming out in support of Hinchcliffe’s in-your-face, fuck-your-race style of humor following the latter’s political controversy, Heidecker is now launching his own Austin, Texas live show Kill Timmy to compete with Kill Tony in the surprisingly robust market for podcasts where millionaires emotionally abuse open-micers.
In the days following Hinchcliffe’s inexplicable decision to go onstage at the most high-profile arena in the world and insult Black people, Latino families and the entire island of Puerto Rico with F-tier, 2006-4chan-level punchlines, Hinchcliffe defended his performance at the Trump rally as a defiant celebration of “free speech.” The Kill Tony host also incorrectly claimed to have roasted everyone equally, even though none of his jokes were about white people, Christians, conservatives or even the man of the hour: now-President Trump.
Just days after the MSG debacle, Heidecker sarcastically supported Hinchcliffe’s comedy on his own podcast, Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker, opening the defense with, “I love roast comedy. Roast comedy is the highest form of entertainment, and the highest form of comedy.” Heidecker called Hinchcliffe “The King” of roast comedy, saying, “What a genius! He’s just funny, and mean! If you can’t handle it, I’m sorry, I don’t have time for that shit. You’ve gotta have balls of brass if you wanna get in the Hinchcliffe octagon.”
“The idea that this was a roast — that’s what he does, he’s a roast master – he doesn’t bring up Rudy Giuliani, he doesn’t bring up QAnon, he doesn’t bring up Donald Trump," Heidecker criticized of Hinchcliffe’s paper-thin excuse for his bombed stadium set. “Like, aren’t you supposed to roast the people there? You’re telling me you can’t come up with a Rudy Giuliani joke?”
Clearly, Hinchcliffe grabbed Heidecker’s attention with his MSG disaster, and, now, the satirical absurdist is ready to give Hinchcliffe the same treatment that he gave Bill Maher and that shitty Club Random podcast. Look out for some ruthless free speech at Austin’s Comedy Fatherboat in the coming months.
