eastbound & down/danny mcbride

ivan dochenko is amazing

this was easily my least favorite episode of the season, maybe ever, but still plenty of great moments

what was the eerie music (female vocal) playing in the background a lot of the time?

Stevie with the boner at the beach was so gnarly

they're def getting pretty n/l w/his character

Jesus christ, Kenny Fucking Powers.

Just realised this show is kind of American Alan Partridge. Kind of.

rosemary's baby, "lullaby"

first ep was great, second not so good, not seen third yet. i find the small moments in it more funny than a lot of the big setpieces, eg when he was leaving april the message and said "it is i, kenny powers". the will ferrell character really isn't funny to me though, i like ferrell generally but i just don't find that character well fleshed out by any means. it's very vague, even his clothes etc just confuse it more.

w/ regards to this season, surrealistic nonsense def trumps inappropriate Todd Solandz boners.

What's n/l?

Yeah, I love the little language quirks they give Kenny, which he somehow sells - e.g. when he visits the grieving family and says "we're all in mourning, so we should crack some beers and watch some High Definition Blu Rays."

I was dying at him playing the Candlebox song on the Sony sports boombox at the funeral. The music supervisors (or is it just David Gordon Green? He always has great music in his stuff) get it so right (Morbius' comment still makes me laugh).

Looking at the IMDB forums (never a good idea, obviously, but still), it seems that a lot of the show's bro fans are really not into this season at all. I really think they've landed on a totally unique tone, though, surreal second-ep aside.

maybe i'll start watching again

I mean, it very easily could have settled into more endless fratty catchphrase stuff, but it's gotten legitimately dark!

!

Curb is closer in style (i.e. cringe comedy) but as far as washed up dude who lives in a fantasy world where he remains the shit, yeah

they talk about the uk office a lot as an influence iirc, although that may only be the short seasons

kenny powers is a bad person

Him referring to Shane as looking like 'that smart-ass Cryptkeeper guy' was also amazing.

Oh - and when he's taking HD video of Shane's body in the casket, and the family shows up, and he's like "I understand, you want to spend some time with the cadaver..."

So many hilarious moments.

feeling this season much more than the second

yes!

and im also really sorry for positioning you right here to be the punchline of my fuckin t-shirt, thats not funny ok, nobody laugh at this, chang its not fuckin funny this is exactly what im talking about, its time we grow up ok its time we grow up

Good one tonight. Loved the soliloquies and the ultraviolet nursery.

This fucking show ... I keep thinking it's about to get really dark, then it pulls back. When it does decide to go for that it's going to be intense, imo.

Retarded mouth-breather
Shaved by the bell

this man made of skin

Going back again one episode, I imagine only a small group of people would have gotten it, but the reveal of the Mexican shop that Don Johnson & Kenny's half-brother are robbing turning out to be South of the Border was incredible. The people who make this show get the vibe of that part of the country SO perfect.

i dont know South of the Border, but the reveal that they weren't in mexico was still p funny

psyched for danny mcb's remake of klovn

South of the Border, aka "America's Favorite Highway Oasis," is this super-tacky, totally racist tourist trap along I-95 at the border of the Carolinas. My family would stop there on road trips to eat horrible diner food and browse the tchotchkes (gems like a "peter meter" ruler in the shape of a penis). It's basically Kenny Powers in store form.

Finally caught up on the last few episodes over the weekend. Shane's funeral was the hardest I've laughed in a long time.

hey so i've got a question for you guys

why do you think april left? was she overwhelmed by the responsibility of motherhood? or maybe she's trying to give kenny some time alone with the kid so that he can own up to the responsibility while she contemplates getting back together with him?

April is not a real person

OTM, this a huge part of my enjoyment of the show. Most tv/movie depictions of the south don't get it AT ALL.

The Klovn news is cool; never seen the series but I think there's room to improve on the flick.

someone has made an eastbound & down soundtrack playlist on spotify, god bless them:
