Review: Lucas Bros. Moving Company ‘A/C Tundra’

Spoilers Below

It’s really, really hot out and the Lucas Bros. are in Brooklyn wearing hoodies, so you know it sucks. Unfortunately, the guys are still under contract to move a customer’s belongings but Jake the Snake Roberts shows up to tow their moving truck. The guys need to come up with $150 to get their truck back, so this girl Natasha offers to pay Keef and Kenny to replace her broken A/C with a new one. The guys end up buying an A/C unit that is supposedly haunted by Satan and the next morning Kenny and Keef discover that the entire building is frozen. Natasha yells at the guys to go down to the furnace and fix the A/C, but after running into a bear the guys meet up with Jumanji who shows Kenny and Keef the way to the furnace. Unfortunately, the furnace has some tigers so the guys wait outside with some mushrooms while Jumanji’s inside trying to take out the tigers. One mushroom-induced episode later, Jumanji decides to sacrifice himself as kindling for the furnace so that the building can melt. Unfortunately, all of the frozen tundra has to go somewhere and that means a big tidal wave of water carrying the brothers to the yard in time to save their truck before Jake crushes it.

Jake the Snake Roberts may be the best voice over dude ever and I hope he’s in every episode of Lucas Bros. This episode also saw the debuts of Natasha Leggero as ‘Natasha’ and Jerrod Carmichael as ‘Jerrod’ and yea they both fit really well with the cast, but I wish we got a bit more of Jerrod because he’s one of the funnier stand ups around. I also thought we were going to get a BIT more out of Satan taking over an A/C unit and was a bit perplexed that Satan would freeze an entire building. Usually, when you think of Satan you think of a dude burning shit up, but this Satan was easily thrown off the Brooklyn Bridge and into the water below without any real fight. In any case, I couldn’t get enough of the fact that Jumanji was in this fucking episode and worse yet that he kept trying to pass off mushrooms to the guys. Then to have the Terminator 2-esque burn up of his corpse was just hysterically-written and well thought out. More please…
