Anyone who likes the show should check out the movie The Foot Fist Way, it is about a small town karate instructor and is basically the precursor to this show.

The Foot Fist Way is excellent.

I really loved the bit with the Apocalypto run in this weekend's episode. on second thought, whole part at Ferrel's party was hillarious.

Watched both new episodes last night and there were some quality bits but overall not that impressed. I Wonder how much KIA paid them in advertising & whether the guys at the dinner party were competition winners from KIA. Twas pretty much all that was going around my head in the second episode. Hope there's better to come.

'his body is rejecting the Pepsi'

decent series so far. Second episode started really well but kinda lost the run of itself towards the end... the scenes in Will Ferrell's house were awful, I thought. Still, promising start to S3

Third episode is boss!
Had me laughing hard!!!

bellinter · « **Reply #129 on:** March 6, 2012, 09:49:16 am »

yeah 3 was good. The scene where he is trying to coach the Russian (the "has been" bit in particular) had me in stitches. Its very hit and miss this series, so far, but this one had more laughs.

Kenny's entrance into the game, on the swinging gate, was fantastic

Cpt_Reina · « **Reply #130 on:** March 6, 2012, 10:39:40 am »

Yep, enjoyed episode 3 a lot more then 2.

Stevie's such an important character to the show. Now he's back it should go from strength to strength hopefully. Lots of scope for his fractious relationship with Shane to be explored.

you're probably right. He has been built up a lot, so wouldnt really make sense for that to be the end.

Ashley Shaeffer BMW is the funniest thing in this show!

Best comedy show in the last 5 years this

BigMarcs · « **Reply #136 on:** March 7, 2012, 12:03:43 am »

Great 3rd episode. This season will be the best yet I reckon.

not in the slightest, pal.... think he's a good character alright, the bit in the garage was great... But the dinner party? Didnt like it at all, just the whole canon thing, and Stevie being dressed up, didnt do anything for me. Cant please everyone though!

He's definitely one of those characters where if you see too much of him, you'll get bored of him. Small roles is the best way to show him. He's one of the best in that sense. The bit with the cannon was a bit much but everything else was great. They're trying to give the cliche Texas guy thing though.

Cpt_Reina · « **Reply #141 on:** March 7, 2012, 12:14:33 pm »

Schaeffer was funny when he was just owned some car dealerships, he was a dick and someone who was fucking with Kenny.

The stuff that happened in season 3 was just plain weird. He stopped being a believable character and become some sort of Noel Fielding esq cartoon baddy.

Eastbound has always had a surreal edge to it, but that cannon stuff was beyond the pale.

I guess that darker stuff will split people but I found the dinner party hilarious, really ridiculous but very funny stuff. ''Oh Mammy, I'm just full of fanta tonight''

se9R.F.L · « **Reply #144 on:** March 7, 2012, 12:54:45 pm »

It was a bit twin peaks but I guess that's what they intended. Ashley Schaefer is a surreal character. Not my favorite ever scene but it didn't grate on me really.

se9R.F.L · « **Reply #145 on:** March 12, 2012, 01:13:10 pm »

Odd one, great none the less.

the eulogy is brilliant.

Really funny from the start till the end.

Spoiler

the part where Steve was watching porn with his wife and told her to do what they were watching only to see what followed up(and the fact that he did it in the end),well i just couldn't stop laughing.Also,the'pet' Kenny got for his son in order not to fuck up his life and the eulogy

Decent episode, not the best but still very funny.

Oddball · « **Reply #148 on:** March 13, 2012, 03:32:23 pm »

I think this series so far is much better thank the 1st 2 series.

Spoiler

As already mentioned, the eulogy was fantastic, as was the porn scene. The bit that got me was when Steve had sex with wotsits sister. Moment he came he was, get off me, then got out the car on puked.

I thought this weeks episode was very odd, didn't feel like it had a beginning, middle or end. Some great laughs though.

Spoiler

Loved the little bits Kennys brother got in when he was talking properly towards the end, he's brilliant haha.

Very strange episode, it was very different to any episode before. Still enjoyed it and it had some brilliant moments and it was shot really well too.

Loved it when Stevie came into the room bald.
