We’ll come out and say it: Eastbound & Down’s Kenny Powers’s insult aesthetic is the most nuanced on television. It’s a rare antihero who can both mime catching and throwing a fart (needs to be seen to be understood) and casually name-check the Criterion Collection while dissing your face. His barbs range from the pop cultural (“Maybe I’ll find the Ewok village you came fromâ€) to the racially suspect but syntactically inspired (“You look like some sort of strange Mexican Grimaceâ€) to the sublimely random (†… popping bubbles out of the air like some sort of fucked up Ray Charlesâ€). As we prepare for Eastbound’s season-three finale on Sunday, we leave you with a monologue of Powers’s highly unsuitable for work insults to be properly offended by. Happy Friday.
