eastbound & down/danny mcbride

Other than the midget's jokes ("I'll rip your fake mustache off!" "HA HA I always bring a spare!") my wife and I haven't found much to laugh in Season 2. Don Johnson appearance doesn't leave me particularly hopeful for that changing.

when they're riding the ATVs around in slow motion and this song is playing and it cuts to their faces in time to the music:

yes!

s2 petered out a little at the end as it got a little too heartwarming/nice but i still really enjoyed it.

ha id say the opposite, last ep (or two eps? can't remember which one had matthew mcconoughay (sp)) rly picked up imo

Yeah, i think the Don Johnson appearance was the nadir. As soon as they mentioned Kenny's father i knew there would be a wacky cameo of some sort

But yes, the freeze frame title sequences are the best

season 2 definitely a step down from 1, but still p great

"tha's racism, man... i love to racism, bro!"

tonights the night

saw a plane flying around with a big banner of mcbrides head on it

it feels so good having kenny back

Pretty sit-com-y, but a promising set-up for the season nonetheless.

Loved the exchange:
April: "Who do you think he looks more like? You or me?"
Kenny: "He looks like the fuckin' guy from The Shield. Chiklits."

I haven't been to Myrtle Beach in several years, but that's 100% how I remember it.

Also, this show has the best music of any TV show ever. JJ Cale, Lee Hazlewood, The Strangeloves, ESG - all in one episode!!!!

Just got on this lately, funny stuff. So many great characters. I like how it has short seasons, it means there are no filler episodes, and each season is forced to have a tight story arc. Amazing production values for a sitcom.

Also, this show has the best music of any TV show ever. JJ Cale, Lee Hazlewood, The Strangeloves, ESG - all in one episode!!!!

Yeah, last night's soundtrack was pretty awesome.

I lolled hard at the "base tan" scene.

The second episode of the season was the most surreal stuff that's ever been on the show. I wonder if Will Ferrell's presence steers those guys in that direction? The eps that he's in tend to be the ones where everything gets slightly more cartoonish.

kinda think I'm not missing much cuz you guys hardly mention baseball itt

JJ Cale, Lee Hazlewood, The Strangeloves, ESG - all in one episode!!!!

so, stuff baseball players never listen to?

I thought the second episode got demonstrably less funny every time Will Ferrell came on-screen. I like him, typically, but I thought he sucked the fun out of that episode, until the final scene anyway.

I just finally watched the second season, and really enjoyed the Don Johnson episodes. Watching them bullshit each other was a prize.

so, stuff baseball players never listen to?

Huh? (1) If you think this show is about baseball, you're not really getting it. (2) See, there's this notion of diegetic vs. non-diegetic sound in film...

(1) I've only heard and read about the thing, that's why I'm not getting it. On purpose.

(2) Yeah, thx a bunch.

i just watched Apocalypto for the first time last nite and so the scene in will ferrel's back yard is way funnier now.

also lol morbs

Seriously, then, what IS your point about the music?

Liquid Liquid was in this last one iirc?

i believe his point was "I don't like anything about the idea of this so I am going to find absurd reasons to knock it down to all the fans."

it would be such an honest depiction of the baseball world were it not for the musical choices

He wants it to only have music baseball players actually listen to, ie late-period Metallica and Daddy Yankee

"Lunatic Fringe" in the last one was nice - but I guess baseball players wouldn't listen to that?

Baseball players wouldn't allow a camera crew to stand in the middle of the field, between the mound and home plate, when they are trying to play a game. Show is bullshit imo.

'youre assimilating weird'

Was that when he said Maria looked like 'a Mexican Grimace'? cause that was funny.

i love ivan dechenko

this show has the best characters

also woah @ a padded cell song showing up in this episode

and bone symphony :D

how old is kenny powers suposed to be

35?

def 35-40

As a nineteen year-old rookie for the Atlanta Braves, Kenny Powers was brought in to close out Game 7 of the 2002 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles.

29!

which is important as it makes his dream resurrecting his career somewhat realistic

I love this show but this season has....not been funny so far?

I quite like Jason Sudeikis in this though

I haven't seen last night's ep yet

lol

lololol

this season is killin it so far

well ok then
