Review: Brickleberry ”Cops and Bottoms”

Spoilers Below

Steve is tired of all of the no crime happening at the park, so he decides to be a cop. Instead of getting into basic training, Steve decides to rig a contest where he can be a cop for a day.He wins, but Steve isn’t winning any contests at being a great cop, because he’s Steve. As luck would have it, Steve saves the Chief’s wife in a stickup, so now Steve’s got a badge as long as he wants it.

Steve heads to the local biker bar to quiet them up, but the guys aren’t fucking around and they start messing with the new officer. Steve tries to run away, but the bikers find him at Brickleberry and Steven offers to give the gang the Ranger station.

The rangers decide to fight back, and the ghost of Steve shows up to inspire Steve to get the park back. After a bunch of Home Alone-esque pranks, the bikers get caught and one of the cops show up to try and pull a scam. As a result, the bikers side with Steve and kill the fucker, then leave the station.

Meanwhile, Woody finds out that he has a hemorrhoid that looks like Jesus Christ. It’s really painful, but no doctor wants to remove it thinking it may be a sin. Worst yet, Woody keeps getting followed around by people who think he really has the messiah on his ass.

Of course, Malloy is looking to profit off of the new venture, but now the Pope wants to pay a visit after seeing coverage on TV. The probably sexually assaulted servant for the Pope heads to Brickleberry and picks up Malloy and Peter to stay at the Vatican as guests.

Woody finds out that Malloy has been playing him for a fool by pretending to be Jesus and convincing him to do unholy acts. Woody meets the Pope and the holy man tells us that religion is just a money-making scam and he just wants Woody’s hemorrhoid. Unfortunately, the Italian son of a bitch falls out of the building, and we find out that Jesus wasn’t really on Woody’s ass.

Our Take

Boy, oh-boy do I miss seeing this show every week! This episode was written by show creators Waco O’ Guin and Roger Black and you can totally tell. The celebrity insults are rapid-fire, and religion pretty much gets impaled in Woody’s plot…literally.

There were so many spots on the show it was great. The baby being born over the table was good, and who caught the Murder Police cameos in the biker gang bar? I think the Woody plot has been done one or twice, but the grossness of Woody’s ass and all of the Pope jokes kept me hooked just the same. We also had one few too many masturbation jokes. I mean, one or two is fine, but Steve, his dad, the biker dude, everyone wanted to beat off this episode and it was getting to sound like a snuff film.

In any case, I’m glad to see Brickleberry return with a vengeance.
