REVIEW: BRICKLEBERRY “SAVED BY THE BALLS”

Steve and Denzel go undercover to catch marijuana growers in the park, but get in over their heads with the Russian mob by promising more than they can deliver.

Spoilers Below

Woody thinks there’s a big drug bust that needs to go down at Brickleberry so after getting high he sends Steve and Denzel off to catch unlawful pot growers. Unfortunately, Steve is kind of a joke and the DEA agrees as they’d rather use him for a packing mule than an undercover drug mule. After getting all the agents killed, Steve and Denzel meet a Russian mob while going under the guise of the “Mario Brothers” and are soon enlisted to join the illegal operation. That op?? Turns out the Russian mob have a shit ton of pot and they want it sold next day despite the fact that its not fully grown. To help fix this, Steve grabs Malloy’s neutered testicles and start fertilizing the pot fields in an effort to get the weed growing faster.Thankfully, Steve gets all the drugs grown to redwood size plants making the Russians very happy and the top guy names him Steve the number 1 guy and even likes him more than his own son! As a result, Steve tells his boss he’s working for the mob while Denzel decides to stay and continue working for the park. Due to the disrespect, the Russian mob leader says he will kill Woody for him!

Meanwhile, Malloy has been extra mean to everyone due to the fact that puberty is setting in and he’s sticking his dick into everything. To help, Woody gets the little horn ball neutered, but with no balls, Malloy’s jokes are lame and are not up to his standard. As such, Malloy goes to the doctor to try and get his balls sewn back on to which the shady doctor agrees but he has to find his balls first. However, Malloy gets kidnapped with Woody by the Russian mob with Denzel hiding nearby. The mob then tells Steve to kill the head ranger, but Woody pleads his case and turns the gun on the mob and threatens to destroy the bear nuts. The mob shoots them anyway and Denzel comes to serve as back up to save his co-workers. That said, Steve shoots Woody any way but Denzel is able to sideways shoot the mob leader and save the day! But, Woody lost his balls!

Connie is broke and needs money for a psychic so she goes to Ethel for some green but she declines. After trying prostitution,  Connie decides to  call up ‘Ethelia’ that Ethel recommends and begins pouring out her issues at all hours through the day. No matter what the event, funerals, sleeping, doctor visits, Connie calls about the most mundane shit and its pissing off the new psychic. Unfortunately, if Ethel quits as a psychic Connie will kill herself and other co workers all in the name of depression.

Sooo, now that we got the first two weeks out of the way and we have established plot and settings, its definitely a great time to start getting into episodes that are now more like detective or cop type scenarios which is great this is where the workplace comedy starts to happen and with a pretty good success. That said, the Steve joining the mob bit has been done by Homer on The Simpsons a couple of times (as a matter of fact the Steve Carell guest star role revisits this), but  the mob doesn’t come off as fun as the one that runs Springfield. Denzel’s take on everything nearly steals the episode, giving a funny ass thread that should maybe make some remember Half-Baked . Malloy’s plot was funny as fuck and completely original and surely shows off the show’s strength with a deranged animal being a part of the center stage. That said, I wasn’t buying into the Connie story all that much and as such that plot device felt kind of thrown together on a whim and not thoroughly thought out.

Score

7/10
