For months now, “Happy Endings” creator David Caspe has talked about a missing episode of his show, one that involves kickball and obscure pop culture references and orange slices and Brad and Jane acting like the couple you wish you could have a threesome with (future list idea?). PROBABLY. Again, we have no idea because the episode hasn’t aired yet — but not for much longer.
Outfest, the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, announced Tuesday that the extra episode will screen during the series July 22 panel at the Director’s Guild of America.
“KickBall 2: The Kickening,” an homage of sorts to The Bad News Bears, sees the gang getting uncharacteristically athletic, with Adam Pally’s Max taking on the role of coach.
As for the episode’s official air date, ABC is likely to plug it into the new season when Happy Endings moves to Tuesdays this fall. (Via)
Instead of parodying the original Bad News Bears, I hope the episode spoofs The Bad News Bears Go to Japan, which is obviously the best film in the series. Kickball jokes…in Japan??? That’s exactly the kind of hijinks we expect from “Happy Endings,” and needless to say, Dave as Kelly Leak would be, to quote Penny, 驚-くべ-き.
Just because.

It’s available on the internet where things like this are available on the internet.
Seen it online. My theory is that was unaired due to too much sex, as Eliza Coupe wears shorts for virtually the entire episode.
Yowza.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Eliza’s shorts make me want to do bad things to her, and her tattoos make me think she would let me.
/not creepy at all
She removed a layer of shirtage at one point. It was a landmark moment in surprise boners.
This aired in the UK as part of its normal run, and is a good episode of Happy Endings. They are all good episodes of Happy Endings.
Liam, do you like myself feel the show is undervalued in the UK because of its placement on e4? I have friends who think it will be will on the same level of humour as 2 Broke Girls and Big Bang Theory.
As someone who enjoys good episodes of Happy Endings let me say that I look forward to enjoying this episode of Happy Endings. Provided that it’s a good episode. And that I’m allowed to watch it.
yawn
I saw this one a while ago via…the internet. Good episode. Anyway, I REALLY want someone to sell those xela (pronounced shay-la) baseball shirts so I can get one. I share a last name with Penny and I’ve wanted one ever since I saw this episode!
Any word on an air date for this yet?
