RAISE YOUR STANDARDS, ILX

j/k

lol man, it's cool if u dont 'get' eb&d... i dont understand like... i dunno... scrubs. nm i guess

did u know psyduck's french name is PSYKOKWAK

cankles i just like to nitpick things to death when they don't meet completely arbitrary targets i have set up in my mind, i.e. i "get" mr rogers but would prefer to see him develop a series arc with mr mcfeelie in which they both learn the meaning of sacrifice and honor

lol throws it like pixie dust

probably my favorite episode!

They're filming season 2! it will be set in Mexico, new regulars, but Stevie will still be around

How do ppl feel about it coming back? I love it so much that I'm hopeful but it ended sort of perfectly and I'm worried that a 2nd season is going to ruin it.

oh stop

it's back on 26 september

im siiiiiiked

cutty's fucking in, enbb's fucking out

gonna give the new season the benefit of the doubt because the new female lead looks like this

http://www.gotofree.net/galeri/model/Ana-De-La-Reguera/Ana-De-La-Reguera-i145198.jpg

will she use stunt boobs?

totally psyched, hope it's somewhat de-ferrellized

love this show so much

afaict McBride gets half his moves from the Ferrell playbook regardless of whether WF is actually involved in the project at hand

yeah :(

the first season felt to me like they had a movie script and padded it out into enough episodes for a mini-season, so i'm hoping for the second season the writers start really digging into things a little more. mcbride is a really good actor i think, he can handle it.

I am concerned that the supporting cast from s1 won't be around but prob I will never get tired of hearing Danny McBride swear

Totally fascinating interview with John Hawkes (Deadwood and a million other things, including playing Kenny Powers' brother) - he says he won't be in Season 2 :(

Some interesting stuff (he seems to have pretty mixed feelings about the experience): http://www.avclub.com/articles/john-hawkes,41960/

RIP Tombot's older doppelganger

he seems more ambivalent about lost

it's interesting that he says he was on the fence about being the straight man or riffing; for my money he was totally written as the straight man and he basically played it that way - but you could tell there was something a little bit tentative about it - his eyes were searching for things, looking for openings, which as a straight man he really wouldn't be doing

but i really liked that they didn't go with a big stereotypical construction dude - there are actually quite a few nice guy, gentle contractors out there like that

love how skinny and pale he was next to danny mcbride... them drinking beer in the pool...

wow, when i watched e&d i totally forgot he was sol star.

is this old?

Trailer

for all my shillyshallying above i am super glad this is back

I can't wait.

Anyone watch this then? They may have been fairly cheap lolz but i did find Kenny's midget sidekick pretty funny. Could maybe do with dialing back on the amount of slow-mo sequences set to music though.

unless said sequences are ana de la reguera's ass accompanied by spanish 'night moves'. could maybe do w/ like 3 episodes of just that.

great episode though - that speech on the mound was beautiful. kenny fucking powers.

It was fun, glad it's back, but if this season is only 7 episodes, i wish twice as much had happened in that one.

The A.V. Club: Are you following the British-TV formula again this season for your episode count?

Danny McBride: Yeah, we follow the same formula. We liked how many episodes there were of The Office, Spaced, Alan Partridge, a lot of the British shows that we found we like. As fans, we like to watch multiple episodes, week after week, but as the creators… It’s really just written by Jody [Hill, co-creator], myself, and another writer, Shawn Harwell. We chose seven this year. That was about how many we felt like we needed to get our story across this year, and how many we felt like we could comfortably write without having to start to farm the work out to other people. It was important for us to have our hands on every part of the script.

"I would say that my biggest flaw, my Achilles heel, is my tireless work ethic."

In the same interview he maintains there's be a three-season cap. Wonder where that third one's headed. (xp)

Congressional hearing imo.

yeah, steroid accusations, probly

I think people weren’t sure—especially with the main character, who’s an asshole...

I'm glad he cleared this up.

fuck your donkey, bitch

i did find Kenny's midget sidekick

Deep Roy! Playing a pretty good Mexican (for all I know).

laughed all the way through. the speech was brilliant and actually, cheap lol, but him wanking while the noise of the clint eastwood film was on in the background actually made me laugh out loud, the expression on his face.

really enjoyed this. loved the music throughout - especially the end credit song.
