Stop making this about yourself
Watching these clips back to back it’s so easy to see how much Shane Gillis is inspired by McBride’s characters
Even though the characters he plays are all pretty similar I would watch a million more movies/ shows he's typecasted in. Eastbound & Down is still my favorite show ever made. Danny is a legend!
This was one of the most comprehensive and well done breakdowns I've seen in a while. Well freaking done
I always tell people about his series, they don't seem to get as advertised as you'd expect. The Righteous Gemstones is so well made, every episode feels like a movie. Surprised that there was no mention of producing the Halloween movies.
Danny is one of my favorite actors of all time. I have been waiting for this one for so long. THANK YOU, GQ.
Foot Fist Way is sooooo accurate. Especially the testing scene with the guy looking around. LOLOL
"Land of the lost" was a classic aswell! Tropic Thunder,Pinneapple Express, Hot Rod HOF
Danny McBride himself is the most iconic character of all time tbh, ya know, lol.
his pastor character in don verdeen is so spot on. like, i’ve encountered that pastor before 😂 love him and goggins together

I first became aware of Danny McBride as Martin in The Heartbreak Kid. I immediately fell in love with his extremely unique approach to comedy and playing a character. Ever since then I have watched everything he has been in. Dude is an absolute comedic genius. Just when I thought Eastbound & Down couldn't be topped, he did just that with Vice Principles. Being born and raised in Raleigh, NC I felt a connection with the way Danny, Ben and Jody approached comedy. I am sincerely hoping for another HBO series. RIP Ben.
