AdultSwim.com’s adventure series Decker, starring Tim Heidecker as Agent Jack Decker a “true American hero” who is “capable of getting the job done,” returns today for a new season with new three-minute webisodes dropping daily for “the foreseeable future” as the press release put it.
Decker battles terrorism and the worst president we’ve ever had so Americans can haz freedom, saving Hawaii from the Taliban with the help of his trusty sidekick, CIA code-breaker Kington (Heidecker’s co-host of On Cinema At The Cinema, Gregg Turkington AKA Neil Hamburger).
Dangerous Minds: How would you describe Decker?
Tim Heidecker: Decker is a web series which follows lone wolf CIA agent Jack Decker as he fights terrorism and battles with the bureaucracy of Washington… the character is my character from On Cinema’s version of the ultimate action star. It’s his attempt at doing, Steven Seagal, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Robert DeNiro all at once, but it comes out closer to Donald Trump. The editing is either done by him or someone with very little experience in the entertainment arts.
It’s important to take note that Decker is a spin off of a web series based on a podcast. 
So the Decker character is pretty closely based on the real you?
Not really in any way, except that if I really did try to make an action show I would fail as well.
What are the advantages of the three-minute drama over say, a five-minute episodic?
Well we are trying to capture the short attention spans of this terrible generation, I guess! One of the macro jokes we play with is the lack of story movement and the fun we have with padding things—stretching story and jokes until they feel like they may break. Cutting these up into a a TON of episodes helps. We’re going to release one a day, five days a week for… a while.
You and Eric are incredibly prolific. You just had the Bedtime Stories series, there’s your cooking show, and now hot on the heels of your recent three-hour Oscar telecast, there’s a brand new series of Decker. Only David Lynch seems to be able to churn out material at the rate you guys can. He launched his own line of David Lynch signature coffee beans, so I’m wondering if we can expect a Tim and Eric edible product line in the future?
We flirted with opening a small restaurant called “Hamburgers and Hot Dogs” for a while in LA, but everyone we knew said we were crazy to get into the food business. The odds are just so high that you’ll fail! There’s a really, really perfect product out there that we might try to dip into soon—more on that later.
I’m happy to hear that you have that perception. I often feel unproductive but when you list it out it sounds mighty nice!
New episodes of Decker will premiere every day, Monday to Friday, from now to whenever on AdultSwim.com.
