Review: Brickleberry “That Brother’s My Father!”

Moral for tonight: a closet of birds and bees is a very terrible idea.

I think Brickleberry may be the grossest show on television today.That’s not necessarily a bad thing, because the humor only solidifies the grossness. I mean, how can you go wrong with a show, who’s entire promotional machine is based on “This is only the ‘X’ grossest thing you’ll see on Tonight’s Brickleberry.”

Tonight’s shit train stops at Connie’s shit hole, earning tonight’s grossest scene of the night! Bonnie’s audition for Wheel of Fortune is going fantastic, until Pat Sajak shows up. Then, Connie turns the studio into Browntown by shitting all over the place, and using the propulsion from shitting herself to spin on the wheel. This was something to see to believe. This was a shoe-in, until Woody started sucking on his mother’s tit and drinking the spoiled milk out of it. That was very close. Steve in a Slave Leia outfit is a distant third.

I remember when Steve was supposed to be the main character of this show. Man, that feels so long ago. I’m kind of glad, because I don’t see Steven as a main character. This ensemble group of characters are at their best when different people are in different scenarios that end up being either gross, or fucked up. There are some shows that should take note of how Roger and Waco do things. The transition was smooth, and everyone gets their shot in the spotlight. Tonight happens to be Connie, Woody and Denzel’s time.

This week’s two stories were completely unrelated to one another, giving each a break when the other is going on. This week, Woody’s mother comes to town, and ends up marrying Denzel, while Connie kidnaps Pat Sajak and holding him hostage in her basement so she can play Wheel of Fortune. What I would have liked more of was the Civil War reenactment from the beginning of the episode. Having Denzel stuck as a slave would have been some of the more hilarious television. The trade off was watching Woody drink the spoiled milk from his mother’s tit, so I’ll take it.

Tosh was pretty on point tonight, playing up to Woody’s mom as a grandmother type for him. How he goes from fuck it, to “loving,” to go telling her to fuck off was awesome. Getting Tosh to be Malloy was probably the best casting call the network could make. Cross pollination of your shows can almost never hurt, Comedy Central. On a side note, was Steve even more or a retard than normal? I mean, Ethel turned him around pretty easy when they were searching for Sajak. It was to the point where Steve was so confused, he thought he was Pat Sajak under a mask. So, what does he do? He cuts his face off, of course. I think Roger and Waco are just trying to make a game of “Can you top this” when it comes to Steve’s lack of intelligence.

All in all, this has everything people have come to expect from an episode of Brickleberry. With a show like this, I generally give it a score somewhat equal to the amount of times I’ve laughed out loud, or went “yo, what the fuck?” So, “That Brother’s My Father!” gets a score of…

Don’t worry. I’m not that arbitrary in my scores.
