I told you I go a little overboard on this stuff!But I kind of mean it! I need somebody else to write the thinkpiece, 'cause I'm not that learned, but I think this show does "America" so well.That ending monologue in the last episode! "Could Schwarzenegger have ascended to the top of both film AND politics if he had actually given a fuck about his family?"

Jesus, the music on this show is a whole nother matter. This season has featured Lee Hazlewood, Holger Czukay, Blue Cheer, Dinah Washington, Miami Nights 1984, The Incredible Bongo Band, Ty Segall... last season there was some ESG, Bauhaus... plus a batch of clutch Southern rap...

There are some Spotify playlists for Eastbound and Down, but none that have been updated in a while...

Best show on TV in years. And it is all about the characterisation rather than 'the jokes'. Kenny and Stevie are just so amazingly written. The kids baseball prep talk on this season was just incredible.

Kenny Powers: I mean, I guess the only advice I can have is just maybe you should just appreciate what you got.
Even if what you got is a woman that’s built like mashed potatoes.
Stevie Janowski: Mashed potatoes?

Just realised I never finished season 3 of this, got 3 episodes from the end and then forgot about it. Watched 6 and 7 from season 3 last night, reaaaally good. As has been noted, the music in this is top notch, "Without You" by Rainbow Arabia and "Heartbreakin' Ball" by Lonnie Walker two relatively recent ones I'd never heard (never heard of the artists either tbh) that are both lovely

^^^ this. I find myself laughing a lot at this show, but there are not really a whole lot of one-liners or standalone jokes to quote

moment that i loled extremely hard at this season: stevie, kenny, april walking back to their car after kenny owns dantel on sports sesh, stevie: "april did your pussy get wet in there? if i had one it'd be squirting everywhere" kenny: "jesus christ stevie don't talk about my wife's genital parts" *stevie punches through car window*
― flopson, Friday, 8 November 2013 20:34 (ten years ago) link
Yeah that was fucking funny!
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Friday, 8 November 2013 20:37 (ten years ago) link
the use of "alive and kicking" at the end of the sports sesh comeback was so good

i can't remember if stevie punched through the window in excitement or in anguish/embarassment
― flopson, Friday, 8 November 2013 20:41 (ten years ago) link
It was excitement. April's "see you later pumpkin" was great too

Wtf a bit of Richard Hawley in one of season 2's contemplative moments

Feeling pretty confident this has been the best season of the show. Ken Marino is unreal.
― kaleb h. (Everything You Like Sucks), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 08:15 (ten years ago) link
Good job me, using my embarrassing "I don't ever plan to post with this" throwaway username. Awesome.
― kaleb, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 08:17 (ten years ago) link
But yeah, the party confrontation struck a perfect balance between being earnestly devastating and funny at the same time. And Ken Marino's meltdown. Such a great show when it wants to be. "Feeeeexins" alone makes this a good deal better than season 3.
― kaleb, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 08:21 (ten years ago) link
I love this show (on the end of S3 right now) and I love Will Ferrell but man does it grind to a halt/go to a bad place when he shows up. he can't even pull off a southern accent. and that episode at his "plantation" was just wtf.
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 November 2013 22:30 (ten years ago) link
Am I the only person who liked the plantation episode?
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Friday, 15 November 2013 22:34 (ten years ago) link
I agree about the plantation episode being maybe a bit too wonky, but by and large I think Ferrell works in this. Ric Flair homages remain enjoyable in all their forms. See also that bit in Workaholics Season 3 after Adam Devine gets smashed in the face with a shovel.
― Windsor Davies, Friday, 15 November 2013 22:36 (ten years ago) link
Yes. Well, I can't say that for sure, but it is one of the most WTF episodes of anything I've ever seen.
― off that fog juice (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:33 (ten years ago) link
That's pretty much what I liked about it. It was like Kenny was having a weird fever dream.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:37 (ten years ago) link
I feel like Stevie should be given not just the Emmy but also an Oscar/Tony/Grammy/Clio for his work this season. He's so, so, so good. Up there with Hank Kingsley in the tragic sidekicks Hall of Fame.
― Walter Galt, Saturday, 16 November 2013 08:59 (ten years ago) link
Absolutely. I don't know if what the actor will wind up doing after Eastbound but what he's done with that character is just great work.

this ep started off so dark it was almost nauseating. ended on a nice note, tho
mmmmnnn kind of a weak ending for an almost perfect series

yeah i lost it during the hoverbike scene
― the portentous pepper (govern yourself accordingly), Monday, 18 November 2013 07:20 (ten years ago) link
thought the last ep was amazing. incredible montage.
had so much more of an emotional connection with this and far more end of series sadness than for breaking bad. which is a little worrying.
