Review: Brickleberry ‘The Comeback’

 

Spoilers Below

Turns out Woody used to be a 70’s porn star and he used to fuck anything that moved including ladies AND dudes. Obviously it’s Malloy that discovered this and he’s the one that brings it to everyone’s attention so when Woody shows up to work he tells all about his legendary career. Malloy looks at this revelation as another cash grab and coerces Woody in coming out of the shadows and attend a PornCon where he can sell autographs for a $100 a pop. However, once he gets to the Con he’s basically the Vergil of the event because no one cares about his personal appearance. We are soon introduced to the BIGGEST star at PornCon, Duke Dick! This guy bears a striking resemblance to Woody and worse yet even uses all of Woody’s moves from the 70’s. Turns out Duke was a young fan of Woody at one point, but when the old man gave the kid discouraging advice, Duke used it as inspiration to forge his own porn career! When Woody hears about this he decides to come out of retirement and get back into porn. And guess who is there to offer his services as director…MALLOY!

Ethel begs to be Woody’s co-star and Malloy grants her access to a potential new career. However she has a bit of a problem with the full frontal deal and opts to quit.

Later, Malloy starts directing a bunch of different scenes for Woody to deflower some poor soul. However, all of the scenes that Malloy tries out all come out bad, from reenacting the Osama Bin Laden raid to an astronaut pizza delivery guy, nothing seems to work. In the latter scene Woody passes out and winds up in the hospital where the doctor tells him he can’t really use his dick anymore or it will literally kill him. As a matter of fact, Woody can only use his dick 71 times EXACTLY and any more cysts on his member will explode and then bye bye Woody.

Problem is Woody’s ego gets the best of him and opts to try and take back his crown from the Duke once and for all. As a result, Malloy puts Woody through this marathon of fucking girls which ends up with Woody dying…or does he? A big national porn award ceremony happens where Malloy crushes a trophy up Duke’s rectum after winning for Woody’s work as ‘Rex Erection’ and then goes home to find out that Woody faked his own death so that people will remember Rex for the legacy he left behind and for Woody to put his porn character to bed.

Meanwhile, Steve is trying to find this ghost whom has been haunting him ever since he was a kid. Turns out this ghost used to steal Steve’s cash, beat his mom, and gamble away the house’s money and now he’s back to ruin his adult hood. Steve hires a medium to help find this ghost, but of course she’s nuts and doesn’t really help. Steve heads into a graveyard with his ridiculous ghost hunting get up, but all he finds is Denzel under a bed sheet trying to scare the shit out of him. However the two actually do run away when they hear a rustling in the bushes that ends up just being Connie sleep-walking. Too bad too because the dynamic ghost hunting duo end up beating the shit out of her. Thankfully, Steve comes to terms that he had a crummy father and not a ghost…or was it?

If this episode is a sign of what is to come for Brickleberry’s second season…then we are all going to die of laughter. A few weeks after the FCC kicks High School USA! for an episode about porn, Brickle shows up and delivers a knockout. For starters, I want to sit in a writer’s room where all of the staff have to think about the ways they can have Woody whack his big black bar of a dick. I would totally take a picture of the white board in which THAT session was done on just because there must’ve been some ideas that didn’t make it that were probably also funny, too. We also had a random Mexican dude with the microwave and yea Malloy’s jokes were good here, but it wasn’t anything we haven’t heard before. What was even funnier was his drop on Kevin James early on, oh Lord that one hurt. The porn awards was probably my favorite scene because here comes Susan Sarandon with a suited up midget on a dog collar only to intro a clip show featuring a bunch of dead porn stars…FROM AIDS! It’s both topical AND hysterical. And who didn’t groan JUST a little when Malloy was redoing the Bin Laden raid as a porn?

I liked the Steve/Denzel plot a lot as well and thoroughly enjoyed the surprise twist ending which should satisfy all of Linus’ fans from Charlie Brown.
