anyone else catch EASTBOUND AND DOWN on HBO this evening?

[pepperbear]

New show about a washed up baseball player who comes back to his home town to teach P.E. You'd think it would suck. It didn't. If they develop a good arc with this character, it could go places. It features a guy named Danny Mcbride who did a hilarious turn as a pot dealer in PINEAPPLE EXPRESS.

3. Danny McBride was hilarious in Tropic Thunder too!

"Mother Nature just pissed her pantsuit!"
"I'm tryin' to put Tiger Balm on this jungle's nuts"
"Big ass titties!"
"I don't know what it's called; I only know the sound it makes when it *lies*!"
"Yeah, you're the Milli Vanilli of patriots, okay?"
"That's it! I'm going into catering after this!"

I love that movie.

I don't have a TV so I can't watch the show you're talking about, but if it's got Danny McBride in it, it's gotta be good.

4. it's hilarious

although I felt bad at some of the things I was laughing at. It's crude and in extremely bad taste and if I was his brother I would have kicked his ass out my home in about 5 minutes. But, still, it's hilarious.

5. I heard Danny McBride interviewed on Terry Gross

he's pretty talented.

6. LOL

I've heard the term "creamed my jeans" before but this is first time I've ever seen anyone do it!
