  • Danny McBride is a powerhouse no one saw coming. Whether it's Eastbound and Down, This Is The End, The Righteous Gemstones, or any of the other insane comedies he's in, Danny McBride brings a unique ability to every project. The ability to play himself over and over to great success. Much of what makes Danny McBrides characters stand out, is how much of his own personality comes through each time. He's truly unique, and no one can replicate what he brings to the table.

    There are so many IRL Danny McBride stories that really prove who he is as a person when the cameras are off, but two of my favorite are both involving The Righteous Gemstones.
    First: When Adam Devine was asked to come over to hang out as opposed to an audition, (as Danny was already familiar with and a fan of Adam's work on Workaholics) strangely, Adam was not met with a chorus of laughter and the clinking of drinks from close friends of Danny that he was seemingly invited to. Instead, when Adam arrived at the given address, he was met with an empty room, containing only a shrubbery, from behind which Danny popped out and screamed
    "Boo! *Laughs* Hahaaaaa I scared you, Fucker!"
    The second story is about how every time you see John Goodman looking disappointed and exasperated with his hands crossed in front of his mouth when playing Eli Gemstone, it's actually an attempt to stay in character because there are an average of 50 takes for every Sunday Lunch scene on account of how many different off the cuff jokes Danny, Edi, and Adam are making, he is trying not to laugh.

    The fact that he and his amazing team of friends and collaborators are able to write so utterly human and relatable characters (instead of one-note caricatures like less talented people would) never ceases to amaze me. E&B, VP and Gemstones are brilliant, I hope whomever at HBO saw the potential there got a fat check.

    The Righteous Gemstones has not recoeved the attention tin deserves given the show’s quality.
    About 5% of it is cringy humor but the rest is wonderful mix of comedy, drama, quality production, interesting editing with flashbacks (including digital de-aging), fantastic performances, and complex interesting characters in a genuinely captivating plot.

    The Righteous Gemstones is one of the best things on TV, and I think so much of its charm comes from how it almost an anthology of itself. Each season has its own big Plot Problem, but it never feels disconnected or unnatural in its progression & resolution. Every season finale feels like it could fit perfectly into either being the series end or the lead up to another season.
    The plots of each season just keep building the absurdity of the whole show, but it’s also very heartfelt. Kelvin and Keefe’s storyline in particular just gets me right in the feels, while also being ridiculously entertaining.
    I love it because the signature Danny McBride energy makes you crave more and more, but it is also completely satisfactory as it is. He’s a magic maker in comedy.

    Vice Principals really got me interested in both Danny and Walton. I ended up watching The Righteous Gemstones right after and was met with an incredible surprise when Walton showed up as Uncle Baby Billy.
    Those 2 actors are seriously phenomenal.
    Also I know it'll never happen but I would love to see a movie where Danny McBride and Robb Wells play brothers who were separated as kids. Danny growing up in the south and Robb growing up in Canada. They eventually meet when their Dad dies and the will is being sorted.
    I just think they both look like they could be related. Especially when Robb has his Ricky look going on.

I’m not saying Rafi from The League and Kenny Powers are the same character, but more so that they embody the same kind of chaotic energy. Mantzoukas has some great performances too, but McBride is still the goat.
