Review: Brickleberry ‘A-Park-A-Lypse’

Spoilers Below

Mt. Brickleberry is actually a volcano, but Ethel says there’s no chance its going off. Worst yet, Connie announces that she is a surrogate mother for a gay couple. Denzel freaks out that Connie’s baby is going to be the anti-Christ and there may not be better proof than when her water breaks. Connie gets to the hospital and is told that the gay parents died in a car accident, but she decides to keep it. Woody is obviously not crazy about the idea of pools of lava covering Brickle, so he goes around town bitching about it. He eventually turns to BoDean and Bobby to help build a bunker, but I’m willing to bet Denzel is gonna use it because of this baby because he is going NUTS about this baby being an anti-Christ. Feeling bad about the situation, Denzel goes over to say sorry to both Connie and her baby Donnie, only to find out that this baby really is demonized.

Denzel tries to tell the others about this demon baby, but not before Woody and Malloy get to check out their new volcano bunker. Unfortunately, Bobby and BoDean slam the door shut by accident locking everyone inside with no real food or water. With Connie starting to learn about Donnie’s new talents, the volcano bunker is starting to look smaller and smaller to Woody who now has to shit. Ethel, Steve, a Priest, and Denzel walk up to Connie’s cabin with the notion that they are going to do everything in their power to kill this baby once and for all.

Ethel convinces Connie into getting a massage so that Denzel and the other guys can go after the baby. Meanwhile, the bunker crew is going crazy, but now they can’t leave because there may be lava all over the place. The park dudes bring over a bunch of priests to try and excorcize the baby, but Connie shows up and takes off with the baby and heads to the top of the volcano. The park employees want Connie to throw the baby into the volcano, and Donnie even speaks up and admits that he is the son of Satan. Denzel gets sick of hearing shit and grabs the baby and throws it into the volcano. This turns the baby into a legitimate devil that brings about the apocalypse.

Yep, here comes hell on Earth attacking Brickleberry. The lava is now overflowing and begins seeping into the bunker that Bobby and BoDean built and it looks hopeless over there. The rest of the park employees begin giving their good byes, but Connie yells at Donnie which causes him to call an end to the apocalypse. Donnie goes back to hell and it fixes the volcano. But where are Malloy and Woody?? In Brickleopolis!

Cutaway Gags: Satan Goro

And just like that, Brickleberry Season 2 is a WRAP! The show, overall, has grown leaps in bounds for its second season and that is seen just as evident in this here finale. Trust me, if there’s anyone that would know how to put on a shitty as hell end of the world it’s Roger Black and Waco O’Guin though having a former Futurama writer in Lew Morton certainly doesn’t hurt. Anyone remember the 80s? Religious groups would attack heavy metal claiming that if you listened to lyrics backwards you can hear Satan or if you were gay you were the anti-Christ, both topics that seemed to be influential when coming up with all of the things probably wrong with this baby. However, Roger and Waco made sure to take any sort of seriousness in the show’s message and liven it up with taking pot shots at a bunch of religious leaders and even funnier when at the onset of the episode they sort of broke down the fourth wall in making sure that Brickleberry got renewed (it did). The sub plot with Malloy and Woody seemed like kind of a throwaway, like ‘What do these guys do?’ ‘Let’s put them in isolation and not worry about it’ but at least it ended with a great take on what the future of Brickleberry would look like and yea I think from where I sit it looks good.
