oh man i just found this in my chrome bookmarks

x-post - lol I just came back to post that too

lol ENBB I think you've shared that story before but it will never diminish it's lasting power

it is truly terrifying

lol, I know!

omg I didn't see the porn scene the other week but watching it now I remember laughing so hard I could hardly breathe in the theater

I WAS RAISED IN A HOUSE OF WOMEN

One of my fave musical moments was riding ATVs in Mexico in slow motion to "Let's Go Everywhere" by Medeski Martin & Wood and there is no video of that online anywhere apparently :(

Never finished watching S4 of this for some reason.

mcbride just nails that guy so well. just total south georgia. it's not even a case of 'i know this guy', it's 'i know these guys'. maybe i'm forgetting something but i would have to think this is easily the most underrated hbo show, as hbo comedies go i'd only put larry sanders and maaaybe curb above it (and i LOVE veep and silicon valley).

I do think that S1 dwarfs the other seasons by a fair amount (tho S4 is probably second best iirc)

btw did you guys already know about this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Principals

i thought that was like on the way but last heard any updates a year or two ago :/

oh, they're filming! wooooh

should've clarified that as "last time i bothered to check"

lol HBO has already ordered two seasons

Thanks Simon! Looking forward to that now.

holy shit that cast

mcbride and goggins, true redneck gods

surprised at how obscure this turned out to be, when I heard it in the show I assumed it was some late 60s/early 70s country hit but it doesn't look like it's ever even been issued in the US

shit, dustin, i can't do this i'm about to have a panic attack i need four xanax and two miller lites

i've been rewatching this and am p assured in my conviction that seasons 1 and 4 are the absolute best, with 3 and 2 after that, but like even the 2nd one is pretty great, esp the michael pena scenes

Yeah thats how i'd rank them too

can't wait

i've long thought that there's a great comedy series waiting to made about substitute teachers but this looks close enough

Yeeeeeesssssssss

Vice Principals with Danny McBride and Walton Goggins

finally got around to this on Prime. first few episodes were grating but I'm glad I read the thread and stuck with it cos it's had me howling since. Kenny popping out the dude's eye. Kenny Powers 'freestyling' on his girlfriend's track. Steve making awkward jizz sound effects, "that's your dick, buttfucking her". Kenny coming onto the field riding a fuckin' donkey.

steve has got to be the most hilariously pathetic character in the history of american television

Otm

he played a similar character on the much less funny The Grinder, seems to be his niche.

when he was throwing out gangster lingo in Season 1 was also hilarious. I feel like everybody knows a dude like this that they've tried to put out of their memory.

the scene with a hooker where steve asks about how kenny was in bed has got to be some kind of high/low point.

tight dick playa

which season had the funeral scene where kenny brought the boombox? that still kills me every time I remember it

3

best ever
the candlebox song makes it genius

Sudeikis' character was originally supposed to be played by Goggins iirc?

that might not be right, I def read somewhere recently that he was not the first choice

For Mr. McBride’s slick, bowtie-clad nemesis, Lee Russell, the creators turned to Mr. Goggins, a star of “Justified,” “The Shield” and “The Hateful Eight,” who had once auditioned for an “Eastbound & Down” role that went to Jason Sudeikis of “Saturday Night Live.”

(As Mr. Goggins recalled of that encounter: “I got to the meeting, and it was me and five ex-‘S.N.L.’ guys. What am I doing here, really?”)

ah thx

apropos of nothing I just had the bit where Stevie and Kenny keep saying “fixins” back and forth in increasingly ridiculous ways pop into my head

Sometime in the past year, I began using "Don't bury him yet!" to announce myself whenever I show up late to a thing that's already started.

hell yeah

no fucking way, hell yeah

lol the former was right, it is apparently fake and pulled. or.. is it fake?

seems weird that they would announce it for 2024
