Eastbound and Down


If you have never seen this show, you must! It is about Kenny Powers, a washed up pitcher who cannot accept that his Major League career is long over. Danny McBride does an excellent job playing Kenny Powers. There are cameos by Will Ferrell(Ashley Shafer-a car salesman) and Craig Robinson(Reg Mackworthy.)

The latest episode left my jaw hurting from laughing so hard. Kenny Powers is playing for the Myrtle Beach Mermen, a minor league baseball team. In this episode, Kenny Powers runs into Black Biker Week. As someone who spent a summer in Myrtle Beach, I can assure you that Black Biker Week is real and every bit as ridiculous as it sounds! Reg Mackworthy comes rolling up in a Darth Vader-esque mask on a motorcycle and steals Kenny's baby. Reg paired up with Ashely Shafer and a black biker gang challenge Kenny to a fit in the parking lot of a Wings (one of those cheasy Beach shops where you buy cheasy beach souveneirs.) Reg and his black biker crew (called the Grim Creapers) turn the back on Will Ferrel's character and set him on fire in the Wings parking lot. Reg and Kenny eventually make up and Reg watches Kenny close for the MerMen(so many Zoolander jokes I wanna make!).


This episode had me laughing so hard. I highly suggest you watch it so I am including a link to the Black Biker Week episode:
