East Bound and Down (HBO)

General Discussion
1

Has anyone on SRK checked out this show yet? When I watched the 1st episode, I really hated Kenny Powers. But for that same reason, I knew I had to watch it. If a show makes me truly hate a character, I know i’m going to enjoy it. Kind of how you can’t believe some of the stuff Larry David does on Curb your Enthusiasm.

Anyway, the 1st season is only 6 episodes and it just ended not too long ago. I love the cast. And I love the way the shows conclude. They’re always very melancholic, but Kenny’s personality ruins any emotional moment in a good way.

Steve Janowski is a ridiculous character! Definitely a favorite.

This is probably the funniest shit that has been on TV for a while. People are sleeping. I made a thread but nobody checked it out.

3

Its funny how he speaks in third person all the time. He also dips which makes him a badass mothafucka. Oh and Katie Mixon is hot.

His baseball card has a funny fact. http://blogbeckett.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/boston_cards.jpg

Will it be renewed for a 2nd season?

5

The way this season ended was brutal. It’d better be picked up for a second season.

6

two things that annoyed me watching this hilarious show was

A.)every time they show katy mixon doing that longing stare at kenny
shes cross eyed.

B.) is steve janowski retarded or not i didnt notice it till he got drunk in the 2nd ep. and it bothered me the rest of the show

7

That was the season finale? Wow. I didn’t know that.

8

No I doubt it, cause he’s able to drive a car.

9

Do you think that was really her rack?

Katie Mixon is sexy I agree.

10

Am gonna go ahead and say yes those were her boobs. They were big and natural. Very nice.

11

just dled the first ep… gonna watch. Never even heard of this before.

12

LOL omg this show is the SHIT

“Hell no tracy, get out, get out, get the fuck out of here”

“i just need a little tlc”

“what you need is a shit ton of valtrex now get the fuck out”

LOL

13

“Then I get to see April’s big-ass tits and have sex to her.”

Have sex to her? Who the fuck talks like that? I was crying from laughter as Kenny said this.

14

I’m already on the 4th ep of this, blowing through it fast.

“We have this discovered through uh, market research that technology is the way to the media’s heart” hahaha

This show is like a roller coaster of emotions. I love it.

Also lol @ Will Ferell… was not expecting to see him here.

15

and when im doing it from behind can i wear the scream mask

16

yeah this is an awesome show.

It’s so sad how many “Kenny Powers” I know IRL (minus the major league experience). Buncha blowhards who only talk about their child support payments, highschool and taking their jet skis on the lake. Finally a show to make fun of these fuckers.

Perfectly cast, even down to that coke whore on the bar…and so many quotables!

17

No, those weren’t her tits. Body double

18

VSlash and I have been riding this train ever since it left the station, RECOGNIZE BITCHES

The first episode or two are tougher to get through, but I’m surprised at how quickly the show hits its stride in only six episodes. Was that really the season finale? Sucks, they had momentum going too.

Although if it’s canceled at this point and only goes the six episodes, we can all be like elitist indie television snobs, and bust out lines at parties like “Oh you didn’t see Eastbound & Down? There were only six episodes, it was the greatest show ever.”

And the fact that it died early would forever enhance our memory of it (aka The Kurt Cobain Effect). Just like Arrested Development.

(Just kidding, Arrested Development was legitimately the greatest show ever.)

“Listen here you beautiful bitch. I am about to fuck you up with some truth.”

Last episode had way too many quotables.

EDIT:

Haha, holy shit, 106 K’s in only 66.3 innings? Over 14 K/9, that’s some craziness.

looking like the sax player from lost boys was hilarious

season premiere was good. love how he hates being called a gringo and calling it racist even though he was the biggest racist ever in season 1

stevie janikowski in the intro was hilarious with one line. i hope he comes back in season 2

“If there is one thing in this world I cannot stand, it is fvcking soccer, alright? And I hate when people do it around me.”

“The wild women became my cum cakes.”

Stevie at Starbucks

“CAN ANYBODY GET A FKING BREAK AROUND HERE?”

I could be wrong but I think he said “the wild women become my cum caves” which to me is even more hilarious.

That little Mexican dude was awesome.
