I have a feeling that last night’s episode was not too well received, but I thought it was solid if not spectacular. I didn’t care for the Wild Kingdom subplot, but the payoff was totally worth it, and the tailgating party was an all around success. A lot of that credit goes to Ken Marino’s character, The Seed, but for some reason, I thought Tug was the best part of last night’s episode. The highlight for me wasn’t even a one-liner; it was when someone took off Tug’s cap, he was exposed as bald, and he lost his sh*t. But I’m a simple man. I also wish that the screen grabs could adequately capture Taco’s relentless dedication to casual stupidity. The guy is a goddamn gem.
Jim McMahon was also on last night, but I don’t like that guy, if only because, among stories I’ve heard from fans talking about their worst experiences with pro athletes, Jim McMahon is behind only Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling.
Here were the best lines from last night.

Was I the only one pulling for Ruxin drop some nasty turds on the drivers seat in The Body’s rv? That would have been my go to move.
I like this show a lot, especially for the fact that I don’t have to enjoy actual sports. The cameos are getting annoying because I have no idea who these people are and they are all awkward.
It felt like there was a lot of great set ups that just didn’t pay off. And I’m surprised there were no jokes about Ron Donald dressed like GI Jerkoff.
I’ve known guys like that and it is always funny to remind them they were never, in fact, in the military.
Definitely enjoyed The Seed/The Body/Tug dynamic the most out of this episode. Too many references to “The Dre Tones” and Kevin as an ape got old really fast.
One of my favorite lines was Frank “The Body” saying to Kevin “Zubaz? Were every other pair of pants in the World dirty?”. I will never NOT enjoy a Zubaz reference.
The nature show commentary was brutal. I can’t believe they went to it over and over.
Yeah, once maybe. Eleven times? Not so much.
it was like 3 times, and i enjoyed it
Didn’t love the actual commentary, but Kevin’s chimp facial expressions were amazing. And just a week after his epic judge face.
Sucks Goat’s Scrotes is going to be used many a time by me from now on
New go to.
What was Jim McMahon’s purpose in this episode? If you have a guest jock almost every week, and they dont bring anything worth while to the episode, then it gets less special each time you do it.
He’s the Punky Quarter Hag!
He’s obviously helping Taco get his second nut.
It was meh.
Weak episode, but totally agree with Ruxin. I would much rather spend a Sunday at home watching RedZone than sitting at the stadium paying $7 a beer.
7 dollars a beer… where are they that cheap?
Last time I was at Lambeau. It’s been a while though.
What was it like seeing Bart Starr play live?
My least favorite episode of the series thus far. Still had it’s laughs but it just seemed weak.
The entire thing with the dudes on the other RV was just bad. Terrible not funny characters.
And with Always Sunny just killing it the weakness is even more glaring of late.
This whole season in general has been pretty weak. Except for the times when Rafi’s on screen there haven’t been many laughs at all.
i think this season has been just as solid as the others.
This was a pretty weak episode.
Tug’s appeal is simple…he’s the rival group’s Andre.
I thought the exact same thing.
I think the Vatos Locos like Tug more than “the league” likes Andre.
I think I’m giving up on this show. It’s just become painfully unfunny.
needs more Rafi.
Man, other than Dre’s facebook page and Dre Tones status nothing landed for me. I actually didn’t mind last week (and loved the “shit on a bum! BUM SHITS ON ME!” line) but I hope they rebound next week.
Is it weird that a show about fantasy football is least funny when dealing with football?
Makes sense because there is nothing funny about fantasy footbal
The Dre Tones was the least funny part of the episode.
I think I’m ready for a Taco and Rafi make a porn spinoff.
I think we’re witnessing an identity crisis. Are these football guys trying to be funny or funny guys trying to talk about football.
I don’t think you can have it both ways, unfortunately
Embrace the awesomeness that is Zubaz
This was sadly another weak episode. I just keeps wishing Rafi was there. Also, didn’t Ken Marino punch Nick Kroll when they made this episode?
I think this was generally accepted as a marketing ploy
It was sad that this episode wasn’t better because it was written by Nick Kroll (Ruxin) and Paul Scheer (Andre). Those are funny dudes who wrote a thoroughly mediocre episode.
agreed. good moments, but altogether mediocre. i expected more from that team.
These guys deal with Rafi on a semi-regular basis, and all of a sudden they’re threatened by The Seed?
No screenshot for when Ike is on the ground and says, “Oh…my life…I blew it.” ???
Best line of the episode, even with Tug around. Who is Charlie Sanders, in case anyone was wondering.
Since when does somebody spying on your wife peeing not earn him a beat down? I know its a comedy, but how they played that off was very strange.
she’s a dude, she can handle herself.
Ya, I thought the football game was a trap. I felt like Ruxin or Kevin were going to have their RV towed or those guys arrested as sex offenders or something.
They went and played a football game none of them wanted to against guys who should have been demonstrably better. Ruxin using his connections to pull a super douche move would have been a great pay off.
Making Andre a Brony seems kind of lazy
Yeah, he seems like more of a furry.
I can’t decide what’s more likely, that Andre is a brony because he likes MLP, or he’s a brony because “surely THIS subculture will accept me!”
Andre is everything.
This episode also brought the codependency of Andre up to a whole new level.
Why is Ken Marino not in more things
Agreed to the fullest. Always make me crack up.
He was rad on Children’s Hospital last night too
But even Marino seemed off in this episode. Meh.
Tug was the best. I hope we see more of him in the future.
Don;t worry… Im sure M.C. Mayhon has forgotten he was even on the show.
Taco is the upgraded Kramer of our time
I like to think that guys like The Body and The Seed don’t actually exist, but then I go back to my folk’s house for the holidays and realize holy shit, they do…
Can’t tell if drinking alone because I’m an alcoholic, or because I hate everyone
Both. It’s always both.
If the point of the game was that if the Dre-Tones win, Ruxin gets to shit in the Bump Bus, shouldn’t he have called it off after he had his tinker-stinker time and just told the Vatos Locos to fuck off about the box seats? At worst someone gets seeded again, I guess.
Don’t forget about Andre’s restraining order against
El SeedThe Seed. Apparently you can just bully people into dropping a restraining order, even if that’s the reason they got a restraining order against you.That’s the real life problem with restraining orders. If the guy ignores it, sure he goes to jail, but you still get an ass beating until the cops arrive.
which is what The Seed threatened No-Dick with, so makes sense to do footballs instead, i guess?
Ken Marino and Tug were the only saving graces of another oddly unfunny episode. Last week, Ruxin is inexplicably dumb. This week, Kevin and Taco inexplicably behave like animals with weak commentary from Pete and Ruxin.
Maybe someone needs to get killed off next week.
With all due respect, you are wrong. This episode was hilarious. The giant dick pantomime was genius.
I agree with PowerClashing. I could watch an entire episode of them narrating the MacArthur brothers.
This is the second week they went to the Kevin is some sort of neanderthal and/or ape well. Seems they are having trouble coming up with original ideas this season.
And then the actual bet. Since when do the guys give a fuck if Ruxin shits his pants?
right… and what ruxin couldn’t have waited for the private bathroom in the box?
@lewi, power, and chi
all of your opinions are wrong.
