Review: Brickleberry ‘Amber Alert’

Code hot.

Spoilers Below

Not only do we find out how Steve gets his Ranger of the Month awards, but Harold retires as a park ranger at Brickleberry so the guys get together to produce a video to try and get a replacement. The video comes out great and it works because tons of people apply. Ethel takes it upon herself to put forth a rough as fuck obstacle course that only one person passes. Unfortunately, that person loses the job in favor of a smoking blonde named Amber.

Ethel isn’t too thrilled about the new hire, but everyone else loves the shit out of her. Denzel takes Harold’s old job, and Ethel is tasked with training Amber to show her the ropes. Woody decides to throw Amber a party to welcome the new hire to the team. To try and fight back, Ethel decides to go get plastic surgery but it’s a disaster and a half. Next, Ethel tries to hire a hit-man service to kill Amber, but instead they sleep together.

We find out that Steve’s mom is a WHORE and she’s been town on everything but the Titanic. Steve is devastated because every good thing he’s accomplished in his life was a result of her banging out the decision makers. As a result, Steve decides to meet everyone that she has banged and reclaim his awards so as to try and win them on his own. Eventually, one of the bullies that Steve’s mom used to keep off of Steve shows up and challenges him to a fight for taking away his steady box. The fight ensues, and Steve gets the shit kicked out of him so he convinces his mom to bang him out of a situation.

Denzel is in the watch tower where he eventually starts to go crazy and thinks that he sees animals made out of pasta. As a result, Denzel falls out of the watch tower and on to the burning ground. Ethel decides to take Amber under her wing to show her how to be a good ranger. Unfortunately, Amber is borderline mentally handicapped so when a fire goes ablaze over Brickleberry, she jumps in to save a bunch of animals and comes out looking like Two-Face from Batman, but with a few more burns. So where should Amber go next? In the watchtower.

Next week look for the season three review of Brickleberry, but in the meantime know that this finale had everything you love about the show and then some. Ethel asking Amber to smell her fingers was the best thing I’ve heard all year, and show continues to show Roger Black’s roots as a Stern staffer showcasing a litany of sex jokes, constant celebrity badgering, and the gross out humor that is second to none on any network. The ancillary story lines were kind of all over the place, and Malloy was hardly even in it, but I think the latter shows the maturation of the series as time goes on. Starting out, Brickleberry used to rely a LOT on the Daniel Tosh name to get ahead, and even leaned on him more when it came to plot development. Since then, Roger Black and Waco O’ Guin have tirelessly managed to build the relationships between the viewers and the show’s characters, and that’s what makes this show really something.
