This dude is so underrated. Just look at all the tv shows he's had come and go alone. All bangers, even vice principals. Then, add in his movies, dude is a comedy genius.
That's why it was perfect. "Always leave them wanting more" it's a showbiz saying for a reason. They had only planned for 2 seasons and if they had taken the money to do more then there's a big risk in ruining it with poor seasons. Far too many shows go on too long. I'm sure it's hard to say no to the money but I'm glad they put the art first and know when to walk away. Much rather one or two tight seasons than it slowly declining for 7 more seasons.
Lmao Bill Hader's "are we gonna get this in a wide shot" line always sticks in my head and hearing that it was actual studio notes passed to stiller makes it even more hilarous
@@reach4thesports897Yeah idk wtf they were thinking (him and David) trying to make a trilogy of one of the most popular and iconic horror franchise ever!!!.... horror movies are NOT for them, especially DGG!!!
I had no clue Danny MacBride was this well-spoken and articulate. I think we always take the characters actors play as the real actor's personality when we see them in movies; so I never thought Danny would be able to articulate his experiences on these movies so well. He is a great actor afterall.
I first became aware of Danny McBride as Martin in The Heartbreak Kid. I immediately fell in love with his extremely unique approach to comedy and playing a character. Ever since then I have watched everything he has been in. Dude is an absolute comedic genius. Just when I thought Eastbound & Down couldn't be topped, he did just that with Vice Principles. Being born and raised in Raleigh, NC I felt a connection with the way Danny, Ben and Jody approached comedy. I am sincerely hoping for another HBO series. RIP Ben.
I love how he talks about writing for a series being just like for a movie, but with more time to play with. Its why i think Eastbound and Vice Principals worked so well, they always had a clear end in mind.
Kenny Powers is one of the greatest comedy characters of all time. HBO needs to keep letting him make whatever he wants because Eastbound, Vice Principals and Righteous Gemstones are hilarious
My dad and I still do the interlocked finger wave he does at breakfast. It’s up there with jack blacks “I’ll have a small glass of carrot juice” at restaurants
Danny B is an American treasure. Those of us who grew up in the South know a guy who is a variation of each character he has played. He knows comedy and is among the best we have at knowing how to capture it for film/tv.
@@albert9364yeah he's amazing but he's also the cocky bad guy It's great to see him in more protagonist-minded positions even if he's still a force of evil
I think thats always been my subconscious idea too, almost in a negative way. But seeing him here is a nice reminder that dudes pretty chill and takes this stuff seriously
@@pony3284it’s not subconscious, it’s true. He openly talks about this in interviews he did for his role alien covenant. There’s a reason guys like robin williams, Jim carrey, and Adam sandler who can do both drama and comedy at a high level are so rare
pound for pound probably the funniest guy for the past 20 years in movies and TV. everytime he shows up its likely the funniest scene/-s in that movie or tv show
The fact those guys actually got injured pretty bad during that fight scene in Pineapple Express makes that scene even funnier cuz it really did look like they were getting hurt BAD 😂😂😂😂
I had no idea he had such love for movie making. That scene in This is the End when he talks about coming everywhere is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. He’s a legend!
If there’s ever a movie about Pantera, Danny McBride has to play Dimebag Darrel. Kyle Gas as vinnie Paul, Steve Buceme as Rex and Jason Mews as Phil. Plus a cameo by Jack Black as Kerry King. It would be hilarious
I don't know how you can make a sequel to a movie that ended with the world literally ending in the Biblical apocalypse, but if anyone can write it, it's McBride
@@tmtmtlsml Maybe Danny is trying to infiltrate Heaven, and his ex friends have to fight him off? I agree with you tho, they should leave it be and not force a sequel.
I always tell people about his series, they don't seem to get as advertised as you'd expect. The Righteous Gemstones is so well made, every episode feels like a movie. Surprised that there was no mention of producing the Halloween movies.
The visual of Ben handing notes to Bill and Bill immediately assuming character and proclaiming “MORE WIDE SHOTS EVERYBODY” is absolute comedy in itself
19:51 I felt the sameeeee way when I first watched East Bound & Down When Matthew McConaughey came out in season 2, his lines were so absurd you would never expect him to see a script like that and just do it without hesitation
I still find it hard to believe this guy went to the same high school as me in Virginia. He was a junior when I was senior and we all had no clue greatness walked amongst us.
@@Puppy_Puppington Yea, when he said 'that time had passed' for a sequel to PE, I think he meant that Franco has been shunned (maybe justified) by hollyweird, and doubtful it'll be made without him. That's why he didn't mention Franco much here!!! I think
I mean if you want to see what they would have done with a sequel you just have to watch This Is The End only they would have gotten the actual Woody Harrelson instead of having Jonah Hill portray him.
Omg will Ferrell’s character in Eastbound & down is the absolute greatest!! When I was a teen I got a job on a big time car lot in my NC city growing up, and the owner was EXACTLY like that character!! I swear it’s almost as if Will met and studied him somehow for 6 months to play him as a character for that show😂
I'm not a fan of his style but to his credit he knows exactly where his character type fits. Alien Covenant is the prime example. Same character as always but he knew it would fit and went all in. I'll put respect on his name
Love his comedic roles, but his voice performance in Mitchells vs. the Machines was incredible! He played a misunderstanding but loving dad so well in it, and the heartfelt scenes involving him were amazing to see him do.
Even though the characters he plays are all pretty similar I would watch a million more movies/ shows he's typecasted in. Eastbound & Down is still my favorite show ever made. Danny is a legend!
It seems that he is always a same character in all the movies. Yet, it is not boring- it is sooo loveable and hilarious! I have feeling that he could do well in dramas or other genre. I wish he can try to do so.

Vice Principals was friggin' great!
Eastbound is one of the all-time greats.
Ridiculously underrated.
More people need to know Vice Principals
Who underrates Danny McBride? Dude has been in nothing but bangers, and he rated just where he should be (highly)
Vice Principals ended too soon. It was a masterpiece.
Would have loved more seasons.
I’m actually happy that it was a nice story and wrapped up nice and neat. It feels more special that way.
One of those shows that both ended at the perfect time and should have had so many more seasons. I would have watched so much of those two together!
That's why it was perfect. "Always leave them wanting more" it's a showbiz saying for a reason.

Him playing himself in This is the End is the best representation of chaotic (and hilarious) evil I've seen in a movie.

So true
“OF COURSE WE’RE GETTING IT IN THE F(_)CKING WIDE!”😂
I love fun movie facts like that one. It was a added to the movie while also trolling the industry on such a personal level
That's brilliant
Everything he touches turns to comedy gold
the last three Halloween movies were certainly laughable
Including alien covenant. Hilarious movie

He professional. I’m pretty sure he’s regularly funny as his characters
Who's "we" lmao
He’s a comedian
I wish he went over his role in Land of the Lost. Loved that movie when I was a kid
same!
I wish he talked about GTA 5 and Arizona
It was the first movie I saw him in
MY childhood movie
how dare he skip that one
Eastbound, Vice Principals and Righteous Gemstones are three of my all time favorites.
Eastbound and Down is a masterpiece!
The opening is so funny!
His character arc and the amount of catharsis you get in the final season... It's up there with the very best of them
GOAT 🐐
Getting a tattoo of Kenny Powers lolol
Pick up those FIXINS!

Absolutely 💯!!!!!
Kenny F***ing Powers
Gemstones has gotten better for sure. Didn’t know what to make of it at first.
Absofreakinglutely!
Not to mention, the ending scene of the series is the best finale in cinema history. Untouchable
One of my favourite actors of all time, his characters and line delivery are genius.
It's strange hearing Danny converse like a normal human being, without the heavy accents and/or profanity. 😂
He has such a bizarre cadence in so many of his roles, it's weird to hear him speaking like a normal person!
No fr lol he’s so calm and collected 😂🤣
Never met a guy that doesn’t like Danny McBride. “The righteous Gemstones” is brilliant.
Pretty much everything I've seen him in has been hilarious. Every single thing.
His entrance in This Is the End is the definition of "iconic"

One for the Dawgs.

Was looking for draven 😂
No TV show has ever made me laugh like eastbound and down. All 4 seasons are absolute gems.
best show of all time
Second season was perfect. Think I'm gonna watch it again.
Vice principals is almost just as funny too if you haven’t seen it.
The Righteous Gemstones has the perfect blend of comedy and drama it's easily my favorite role of his
Omg rite I wish he bring it back it was so funny
Everything he has ever done has been gold. Eastbound and down, Vice principals, righteous gemstones, foot fist way, etc. list is endless.
Danny and Walton Goggins were truly hilarious in Vice Principals. One of my favourite shows
Unreal 😂
Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers
Love that show!!
Truffle butter
Can't forget The Righteous Gemstones. They're both in that, as well as Edi Patterson.
Pineapple Express is still one of my favorite movies. Eastbound and down is my guilty pleasure show and Righteous Gemstones is gold.
When I saw this in my feed, I heard "Let the boy watch, let the boy learn."
I said the exact thing to my wife, DONNAAA.

It's Danny M stupid. Not danny B
Danny McBride is one of the best actors working today. I freaking love righteous gemstones best show ever.
Danny randomly mentioning Time Bandits was awesome.
Danny McBride and Walton Goggins is a serious force I think people are finally understanding.
Bruh Walton Goggins has been in multiple tarantino films tf you smokin
@@albert9364 73-90u tier 1 full melt accompaniment by some 710labs flower and Backpack Boys is what I'm smoking on in the moment.
@albert9364 i think because he's not a household name people think Walton Goggins is underrated but his IMDB is stacked!
@@albert9364yeah he's amazing but he's also the cocky bad guy
It's great to see him in more protagonist-minded positions even if he's still a force of evil
@@albert9364Lektion
Absolutely freaking love The Righteous Gemstones!!! Can't wait for the new season to start!!!
You could argue that Danny is pretty much just playing a variation of the same character each time, but I'm here for it every time.
I think thats always been my subconscious idea too, almost in a negative way. But seeing him here is a nice reminder that dudes pretty chill and takes this stuff seriously
Similarly, Will Ferrell plays a variation of the same character himself
True although totally different characters in Eastbound and Vice Principals.
Maybe but mostly due to him being a naturally funny human being.
@@pony3284it’s not subconscious, it’s true. He openly talks about this in interviews he did for his role alien covenant. There’s a reason guys like robin williams, Jim carrey, and Adam sandler who can do both drama and comedy at a high level are so rare
Hot Rod really is the best film ever made without question
Danny seems very genuine, always cool to listen to people talk about something they truly love
No land of the lost😢
Awe!! Darn!
I was looking forward to him talking about that the most 😢
I wanted to see Arizona underrated movie
Frrr
Supposedly it was a flop, but I love it too. I own it.
Never realized how many of my favorites feature Danny.
Eastbound and Down still one of the greatest comedic sports series of all time.
pound for pound probably the funniest guy for the past 20 years in movies and TV. everytime he shows up its likely the funniest scene/-s in that movie or tv show
He never misses. Whenever I see his face in something it’s always worth watching
I concur. I’m glad HBO lets him do whatever he wants.
The funniest is a stretch lol he’s fun tho
Gemstones is one of the best shows around. It's genius!
Crazy how he did foot fist way as a nobody and went on to get most of his iconic roles as a result of it.
The fact those guys actually got injured pretty bad during that fight scene in Pineapple Express makes that scene even funnier cuz it really did look like they were getting hurt BAD 😂😂😂😂
I had no idea he had such love for movie making. That scene in This is the End when he talks about coming everywhere is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. He’s a legend!
"I'll come anywhere I wunt!"
I’ve been dropping loads everywhere since I got here!
Danny cracks me up in every roll he plays 😂😂😂
Hot Rod, one of the greatest comedies of all time
I drink green tea all day!!! 😂😂
Hwat do mean? Hwy are you saying it like that?
"They're Rhodesian"
“I GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY, YOU GONE BRING THE DEMONS OUTTA ME”
cool beans
so we’re just gonna forget about ‘30 Minutes or Less’ ???
That’s why they made this video 28:40 lol
Fr
Or the fact that the movie is technically a biopic?
That movie kind of has a bad reputation now, since the real story has come out and it was way more disturbing than the movie.
Yep
Downey talking to himself lmao amazing

@Oureradication in Ireland, the lads would say "strain the spuds "
At the beginning of the cast commentary, Jack Black tells Downey that he heard him peeing in character. It's worth listening to 😂
Eastbound and Down is a classic it cures my depression
I also would of mentioned: Land of the Lost & 30 Minutes or Less, another two movies I think of whenever I see Danny McBrides face.
Land of the lost was awful. What are you smoking?

Watching these clips back to back it’s so easy to see how much Shane Gillis is inspired by McBride’s characters
Yeah, when he came on the secret podcast you could tell how hyped and nervous he was. Loved that podcast
This was one of the most comprehensive and well done breakdowns I've seen in a while. Well freaking done
If there’s ever a movie about Pantera, Danny McBride has to play Dimebag Darrel. Kyle Gas as vinnie Paul, Steve Buceme as Rex and Jason Mews as Phil. Plus a cameo by Jack Black as Kerry King.

This is the most well overdue GQ Most Iconic✔️
That first season blooper reel of Eastbound & Down will never not make me laugh
He actually gave a very dramatic, honest and emotional performance in "Up in the air" with George Clooney
Love that movie

Danny is a national treasure. I would love to see sequels of Pineapple Express, Hot Rod & This Is The End.
Well, technically we got a PE sequel in This Is The End 😂.
I don't know how you can make a sequel to a movie that ended with the world literally ending in the Biblical apocalypse, but if anyone can write it, it's McBride

I'm so glad he talked about Your Highness cuz nobody I know has watched it and I quote it constantly 😂
Vice Principals is so underated.
one of the top comedic geniuses of the almost last two decades. Hope he never stops writing and making content.
his trilogy of HBO Shows are legendary
Walton is one of my top 5 favorite actors. So underappreciated.
Dwayne in 30 Minutes or Less... Best Character Ever!
eastbound and down is easily top 5 TV series ive ever watched. top 2-3 comedy. straight up lightning in a bottle
This is our greatest acting comedian of our time.
I'm 31 and Your Highness is still hilarious
I’m 31 next week and I agree
I’m 42 and still love it. Favorite lines of the movie:
