he is the best. he even shows up in that bizarro as i lay dying movie franco made (which is not good and also not half as bad as people probably imagined it) and is completely convincing as a good ol' boy of that time period
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 15:27 (eight years ago) link
he's in the new Bill Murray movie too apparently?
agree he is the kind of guy/character I will always give a pass because of this show, even when he's appearing in garbage

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).
― balls, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 20:46 (eight years ago) link
I do think that S1 dwarfs the other seasons by a fair amount (tho S4 is probably second best iirc)

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

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
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 10 October 2015 14:39 (eight years ago) link

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.

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.
― Neanderthal, Thursday, 28 July 2016 04:06 (seven years ago) link
the scene with a hooker where steve asks about how kenny was in bed has got to be some kind of high/low point.

Sudeikis' character was originally supposed to be played by Goggins iirc?
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 28 July 2016 18:24 (seven years ago) link
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?”)

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.
