Ep 8. Insurmountable High Score/Tim vs. the Baby

Tim's life is back at it again in The Life and Times of Tim season 1 episode 8, titled "Insurmountable High Score/Tim vs. the Baby." The episode is split into two parts, with each featuring different hilarious scenarios Tim finds himself in.

In the first segment, "Insurmountable High Score," Tim becomes obsessed with beating the high score on a video game, "Fists of Discomfort." He spends countless hours trying to perfect his skills, neglecting his work, relationships, and even his basic needs like sleep and hygiene. As he nears the high score, he becomes increasingly unhinged and paranoid, convinced that someone is sabotaging his game.

Meanwhile, his friend, Stu, is trying to get him to snap out of his obsession and attend an important business meeting. But Tim is determined to beat the game and prove to everyone that he's the best. He descends further into madness as his desperation to win becomes all-consuming.

In the second segment, "Tim vs. the Baby," Tim agrees to babysit his boss's infant daughter. At first, he thinks it will be an easy gig, but as he tries to navigate the world of parenthood, he quickly realizes he's in over his head. The baby cries non-stop, refuses to eat or sleep, and constantly needs to be changed.

Tim tries his best to calm the baby down with toys, TV shows, and even a makeshift baby sling, but nothing seems to work. Adding to the chaos, Tim's girlfriend, Amy, unexpectedly drops by, adding an additional layer of stress.

As the night drags on, Tim becomes increasingly frazzled and sleep-deprived, resorting to desperate measures to keep the baby quiet. He even contemplates slipping the baby some whiskey, but ultimately decides against it.

The Life and Times of Tim season 1 episode 8 is a hilarious and relatable look at the absurd situations we sometimes find ourselves in. Whether it's a video game obsession or a disastrous babysitting gig, Tim’s misadventures will have you laughing and cringing in equal measure.
