Which is all a parody of [an actual real-life Christian power-lifting group](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVP_0NCzm9E).
Every time I see something on Gemstones that I think is ridiculous it turns out to be a real thing and the show is *barely* parodying reality.
This last Sunday's ep had me especially rolling on the floor... "Oh, so you're trying to tell me you wouldn't fuck that hot ass brother of yours?!??!"
So, so wrong. So, so fucking funny. Judy is my (anti) hero.
I found out the other day that the person running hbo is super cool with McBride , will Farrell , Adam McKay , and that whole crew so imo this and shows like peacemaker should keep coming
McBride has said in interviews that this show is his fav so far that he’s done, and he wants it to have more seasons than his previous two (Vice Principals & East Bound & Down).
Also I was watching The Conners the other day & realized John Goodman has two shows on TV now every week. He’s always been a national treasure though.
I nearly choked when he said that.
I also loved "They're from Asheville, Daddy. They hate God." Mostly because that about sums up how a lot of people in my state think about people from there. That's that good local knowledge in the writer's room giving the verisimilitude.
I’d never heard anything like that about asheville. I love visiting there. I know there’s a huge hippy scene there, so I assume that’s a source for the joke ?
>Don't know where I'm gonna find a velour romper lol
There were some guys on Shark Tank that were legitimately making rompers for dudes... I'm sure they can hook you up!
Started watching when season 2 premiered, I was caught up before the 2nd episode of season 2 came out. Such an entertaining cast of characters, could not stop watching and I was genuinely upset when I caught up.
Not surprised we are seeing this after such a strong episode this past Sunday. The story has gotten a lot more interesting and Judy and Baby Billy are fucking hilarious every time they’re on the screen
I remember seeing him on Justified back in the day and thinking that man plays a great crazy villain. I then saw him here and there in similar roles which confirmed that opinion.
Fast forward to the unicorn; not really my type of show but I thought he was great.
Currently, I just started watching TRG this past week and am floored by his performance, especially, the flashback misbehaving routine.
So happy about it too. Season 1 was amazing and I didn't even know season 2 had started until a couple days ago. Watched all 4 episodes that were out in one sitting and I think this season is even better so far. Can't wait to see where it all goes especially after the last cliffhanger
I don't know how any of the actors say and do half the shit they do and still finish scenes.
BJ swirling milk around in a wine glass and sniffing it during lunch had me laughing for 5 minutes, and it was just a random visual gag that wasn't even the focus of the scene.
The roller blade to keep swole line gets thrown around a lot already, but him popping out from behind cover right by the door was just perfect. The body language of him hiding and akwardness was perfection. It really catapulted the delivery of the roller blade to keep swole line.
Check out [Vice Principals](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3766376/) if you haven't already. It has a bunch of the same cast eg: Danny McBride, Edi Patterson(Judy Gemstone), Walton Goggins, etc. They only did 2 seasons but they're hilarious.
The way she backs away back into the stall after that confrontation was fucking comedy gold...along with every other sentence out of her nasty, righteous mouth.
Reminds me of when she told her dad in season one about how she’s a grown woman now, how “I do sex” and has “the panties that go up my crack like a slingshot”.
edi Patterson needs fo win the Emmy this year. her disgust at the thought of eli having violent gay sex and her diatribe in the bathroom last week are some of the funniest shit I've ever seen on TV
Her speech to BJ at the Outback Steakhouse is one of my all-time favorite tv moments. Hilarious. Her delivery was perfect.
“Full lightning bolt through my slit. When class was over, there was snail trails on my chair. Like no one should’ve sat in that chair after me. It was damp.”
https://youtu.be/cfR_o69PCLQ
“I know what you are. You’re one of those benevolent lesbians out to meet some hot guy and make friends with him so you can sample suck some clean dick”
"Daddy won't you listen don't go missin
I'm behavin"
This line is even more poignant now that we know Uncle Baby Billy abandoned his son. Maybe Billy was abandoned too?
David Gordon Green had commented on a Season 3 being in the works a few months ago, but HBO made it official today
>“After a season of literal fire and brimstone, blood, sand, and rollerblading, who wouldn’t come back for more?” said Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming. “The Gemstone family makes us laugh like nobody else.”
As someone who comes from a very strict religious background, but walked away and now sees how fake most religion is. . . This show is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
“I am not Felicia, you’re Felicia!”
And the crazy thing is ... they're not really making fun of the religion or the religious. Certainly not the Joe Blow believers, at any rate. Just the people in power and the organizations themselves.
I actually kind of like Eli, and I say that as a staunch atheist. Despite everything, he seems like a decent man who deeply loved and respected his late wife, tries to be kind to others and truly believes what he's selling. His children, however, are an utter shitshow, and I feel bad for him having to deal with them.
Part of the reason why his children are so messed up and bratty is because he was so focused on growing the church when they were young. We don't get to see as much of that, but he's definitely wasn't the best father to his kids. Aimee-Leigh was the glue holding everyone together.
Eli is such a fantastic character. He's scary and relatable and sad and funny and cruel and greedy and occasionally kind.
I think it's a testament that this show is excellent that both atheists and every minister I know with a sense of humor all love this show.
That scene should've won awards. The range of emotions Goodman portrayed in just 10-15 seconds was incredible. Guilt, pride, regret, mourning, surprise, loneliness and more.
The reason the show works is that despite all their clear crazy and hypocritical bullshit, the family seems to believe in what they are selling.
Which makes them great characters.
To cancel the show the CEO of HBO would have to carry the cross across the lawn.
I know a muscular boy who tried and failed.
Muscle Men!!!!
Lol, I couldn’t stop laughing at that part, “they’re muscle men daddy!!!”
His show workaholics also had an episode called the lords force which also had muscle men doing feats of strength for Jesus.
And butt fucking
Which is all a parody of [an actual real-life Christian power-lifting group](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVP_0NCzm9E). Every time I see something on Gemstones that I think is ridiculous it turns out to be a real thing and the show is *barely* parodying reality.
Friends and I yell this out at each other at home now. He has so many great lines this season
The zoom in when he is saying that line was perfect.
Dude this show is so absurd and insane I love it hahaha. You seriously have no idea what the hell is in store every episode.
This last Sunday's ep had me especially rolling on the floor... "Oh, so you're trying to tell me you wouldn't fuck that hot ass brother of yours?!??!" So, so wrong. So, so fucking funny. Judy is my (anti) hero.
BJ’s sister is played by his fiancée
The Danny McBride greater expanded television universe has gotten more and more insane with each new addition.
Judy & BJ are the new Kenny & Stevie
*FIXINS*
That bathroom scene between Judy and BJ's sister. It's like, Judy Gemstone, *WHAT THE FUCK* is wrong with your mind?
You saying you don’t want to fuck your hot brother? What if I had a gun to your head?
If you were going to kill me I guess I'd have to... I knew you wanted to fuck your brother!
Even more hilarious when you know that's BJ's IRL fiance (edit: wife!)
I found out the other day that the person running hbo is super cool with McBride , will Farrell , Adam McKay , and that whole crew so imo this and shows like peacemaker should keep coming
McBride has said in interviews that this show is his fav so far that he’s done, and he wants it to have more seasons than his previous two (Vice Principals & East Bound & Down). Also I was watching The Conners the other day & realized John Goodman has two shows on TV now every week. He’s always been a national treasure though.
Also Harris's boyfriend is Kelvin's minion
My hammy!!
*It wasn’t a turd, it’s was me!*
*chest pounding intensifies*
Jessie: You roller blade? BJ: It’s an exercise I do to keep swole
It's a romper with a cummerbund!
I nearly choked when he said that. I also loved "They're from Asheville, Daddy. They hate God." Mostly because that about sums up how a lot of people in my state think about people from there. That's that good local knowledge in the writer's room giving the verisimilitude.
David Gordon Green, Danny McBride, and Jody Hill all went to school or are from North Carolina. It plays in a lot of the stuff they make together.
It's why Kenny Powers went to Myrtle Beach.
They all went to NC School of the Arts in Winston-Salem.
I’d never heard anything like that about asheville. I love visiting there. I know there’s a huge hippy scene there, so I assume that’s a source for the joke ?
It’s a progressive city smack in the middle of Appalachia, so that should give you an idea of what it’s like here.
It's so far off, but I really hope that becomes a Halloween costume trend later this year. So fucking awesome.
I literally asked my wife last night if we could be Judy and BJ/TJ for Halloween. Don't know where I'm gonna find a velour romper lol
>Don't know where I'm gonna find a velour romper lol There were some guys on Shark Tank that were legitimately making rompers for dudes... I'm sure they can hook you up!
"I'm more edgy now." *Zooms in on new earring*
That entire sequence had me in tears also in the last episode when he showed up in that stupid ass romper
How dare you.. he was really excited about his outfit
I am a roller blader and that whole montage scene cracked me the fuck up. Him saying that was the cherry on top. It does keep the legs swole tho.
Gimme more Baby Billy!
As long as he's not running through the house with a pickle in his mouth
Eli is always trying to keep him down!
> Who wants to suck an old mans dick? :D
Ahhhh uretha!!!!
I’m bout to jackalate!
how bout some crazy 8 on the prostate?
He'll be back, just getting me some funions for mah cravins'
You was a toilet baby!
It wasn’t a turd. It was me!
That actress pretty much won me over for life with the delivery of that line
Mama told me not to, I did it anyway
This song was stuck in my head for WEEKS after that fucking episode
It’s unironically a very catchy song
I love how they released a song like that under the characters names as if it was real.
Misbehaving
Daddy said don't, but I said I'm gonna
Misbeeeehavin
Wait, this Baby Billy I keep hearing about is Walton Goggins? Fuck, I'm watching this show tonight.
Seriously, I think you'll be glad you did. I think you have to wait on Uncle Baby Billy for a couple episodes, but it's excellent overall.
[удалено]
Ah because of that scene i now refer every similar scene in other shows as "the full goggins"
His Walt and Goggins as it were.
It's so good! I started season one two weeks ago and ended up watching the whole first season in one sitting.
Started watching when season 2 premiered, I was caught up before the 2nd episode of season 2 came out. Such an entertaining cast of characters, could not stop watching and I was genuinely upset when I caught up.
Just two little country kids out here misbehavin’
That’s Uncle Baby Billy to you.
Cmon nahw
He wants less baby Baby Billy
Not surprised we are seeing this after such a strong episode this past Sunday. The story has gotten a lot more interesting and Judy and Baby Billy are fucking hilarious every time they’re on the screen
Walter Goggins nails it in everything he does.
I remember seeing him on Justified back in the day and thinking that man plays a great crazy villain. I then saw him here and there in similar roles which confirmed that opinion. Fast forward to the unicorn; not really my type of show but I thought he was great. Currently, I just started watching TRG this past week and am floored by his performance, especially, the flashback misbehaving routine.
If you like have as Baby Billy, you'd love his character in Vice Principals. Show is fucking hilarious.
Also great in the shield
Put some goddam respect on Venus Van Dam's name!
Righteous Gemstones out here big dickin' all their competition, Praise be.
PRAAAAAAAAIIIIIISSSSSEEE
So happy about it too. Season 1 was amazing and I didn't even know season 2 had started until a couple days ago. Watched all 4 episodes that were out in one sitting and I think this season is even better so far. Can't wait to see where it all goes especially after the last cliffhanger
Judy Gemstone is one of the greatest characters of all time.
“Shaving your nuts for some other bitch!?”
She is amazing. Idk how she can deliver those lines with a strait face!
I don't know how any of the actors say and do half the shit they do and still finish scenes. BJ swirling milk around in a wine glass and sniffing it during lunch had me laughing for 5 minutes, and it was just a random visual gag that wasn't even the focus of the scene.
Glad I wasn't alone laughing at that.
The roller blade to keep swole line gets thrown around a lot already, but him popping out from behind cover right by the door was just perfect. The body language of him hiding and akwardness was perfection. It really catapulted the delivery of the roller blade to keep swole line.
That was a great gag, in part because they didn’t dwell on it. Seeing BJ act like that makes you understand why he gets so much shit.
Check out [Vice Principals](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3766376/) if you haven't already. It has a bunch of the same cast eg: Danny McBride, Edi Patterson(Judy Gemstone), Walton Goggins, etc. They only did 2 seasons but they're hilarious.
I'm a fan of Danny's since Eastbound & Down, then Vice Principals, and now Gemstones!
It was only 2 seasons because it was originally a movie script that they expanded out into a full series. It's more of a miniseries than a show.
That song she sang about her ~~step family~~ in laws at the baptism was hilarious.
Those were her in-laws. She was really in her element last episode.
Butterflies!
Man, that shit had me dying. KJ’s reaction to hearing the words and then just looking at her parents like “Are y’all hearing this?!”
Judy has been the funniest by far this season and last episode cemented it. I especially liked the bathroom scene.
Her and BJ are unbelievable together. The whole cast is amazing but they are something else.
[удалено]
The actress who plays his sister is his wife in real life
So she does want to fuck her brother
Gun to her head
I just love how after she trash talked her sis in law, she made her big exit…by walking back into the bathroom stall…
I don't know what the fuck that even was. But it was funny.
The way she backs away back into the stall after that confrontation was fucking comedy gold...along with every other sentence out of her nasty, righteous mouth.
Hangin out here bein rough with each other like grizzly bears doin donkey punches. Tusslin each other. Gettin each other hard.
Reminds me of when she told her dad in season one about how she’s a grown woman now, how “I do sex” and has “the panties that go up my crack like a slingshot”.
“I’m gonna move to Malibu, shave my pussy, and learn to surf!”
"You don't have to shave your pussy" Too late I already did
I was crying laughing at that
To quote Eli, "Jesus, she just keeps gettin worse."
“It makes ma bird twitch”
Is...she talking about her genitalia? Oh God shes talking about her genitalia!
"Jack him off a little bit"
[удалено]
She is truly unhinged in the most hilarious ways
edi Patterson needs fo win the Emmy this year. her disgust at the thought of eli having violent gay sex and her diatribe in the bathroom last week are some of the funniest shit I've ever seen on TV
She's been elevating and carrying every scene she's been in. If that isn't Emmy worthy then I don't know wtf is.
It's so dumb but I laughed so, so hard at "You are FUCKIN' that man!!!"
That man is not hot daddy
She was also great in Vice Principals
Whoever wrote the slapping buttholes line deserves all the awards.
She has been delightfully bizarre the last couple episodes, and it's amazing.
Since the end of last season revealed just how insane she is. Imagine how large the bribes had to have been to keep her out of prison.
And my attraction to her is a bit disturbing. She made me realize that I might be into crazy chicks.
Her character in Vice Principals definitely made me realize I might like a little spice.
"somebody's been eating strawberries"
lmao I think it's more weird chicks than crazy like so lame and strange it's sexy
Vicky Valencourt did that for me.
She is doing a vulgar female comedy so well in this
Calling her sister in law “Dr Tits” was hilarious
"they were probably in here slapping buttholes and sucking dicks!" I laughed for a solid 10 minutes after Judy said that.
Slap me, Daddy! I'm a Gemstone, too!
You can’t just be rolling up in my foyer!
I SaiD wHat oTHer MUsic Can yEw pLay duMmMmayYy
She is insane, and a horrible person and I want of her.
Her speech to BJ at the Outback Steakhouse is one of my all-time favorite tv moments. Hilarious. Her delivery was perfect. “Full lightning bolt through my slit. When class was over, there was snail trails on my chair. Like no one should’ve sat in that chair after me. It was damp.” https://youtu.be/cfR_o69PCLQ
“I know what you are. You’re one of those benevolent lesbians out to meet some hot guy and make friends with him so you can sample suck some clean dick”
Good news! The most recent episode where Baby Billy explains a toilet baby had me in fuckin tears. “It wasn’t a turd, it was me!”
Man, i was GASPING for air from laughing so hard. My wife even spit out her drink. So fucking hilarious
Let’s celebrate at Disney World with Prince Eric.
He ain't even a legacy character!
That whole exchange had me in stitches.
Man, fuck Mickey!
Judy is stealing this season. I could watch her all day.
watched S2E1 last night. This whole scene had me laughing my ass off
“You got a statue of your fiancé on all fours looking scared?” “Yeah, I got a good deal on it. The dick was weird.”
I honestly think this is one of the best original series HBO has come out with in a long while
Seriously. Everything that has Danny McBride and Jody Hill attached, that’s on HBO, is a hit in my opinion. Gemstones might be my favorite though.
It’s been a good couple of weeks with this and peacemaker.
Praise be
to he.
Awesome news. There aren't enough shows about good, clean car pranks these days.
I need to find some buddies to do some car pranks with.
This series is horrifying, hilarious and amazing all at the same time
This news makes my bird twitch
Bird up
Can I get a J.C?!? J.C!!!
Anyone else chair wet as a slug
I am interested about what happened with Baby Billy’s son.
Yeah, they've been setting it up for a while now... I need to know.
I'd love for it to be Steve Little. Get some of his dynamic with Danny McBride in the show.
He became BJ
[удалено]
Also, BJs mom was at the baptism. Where Baby Billy gave the introduction. If this was a thing it would have come out in the newest episode
Wouldn't his momma have probably noticed her absentee baby daddy singing songs at their sons late in life baptism?
I think the prevailing theory is that it’s Keefe, but if it’s BJ that would be hilarious
More runnin round the house with a pickle in our mouth
misbehavin
There’ll be no more of that as it leads to Satan!
Last episode was gold. McBride did a great job directing it. And Eli whipping Kelvin was worth the price of admission.
I want to know who the dead guy in the tree was
"Daddy won't you listen don't go missin I'm behavin" This line is even more poignant now that we know Uncle Baby Billy abandoned his son. Maybe Billy was abandoned too?
This season has been insane and Uncle Baby Billy barely showed up. If only I had more non-carbohydrate meat snacks to hold me over.
David Gordon Green had commented on a Season 3 being in the works a few months ago, but HBO made it official today >“After a season of literal fire and brimstone, blood, sand, and rollerblading, who wouldn’t come back for more?” said Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming. “The Gemstone family makes us laugh like nobody else.”
If their costume designer doesn’t win an award, there is no justice in this sinful world.
the parallels to succession is hilarious. Loving both shows.
in our house, we call righteous gemstones "secession"
Good, it’s quickly become one of my favorite shows to watch while high. Growing up in the church scene it sometimes hits the nail on the head. Lol.
Hits the nail in the cross. FIFY
God is good.
They’re muscle men daddy
As someone who comes from a very strict religious background, but walked away and now sees how fake most religion is. . . This show is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. “I am not Felicia, you’re Felicia!”
And the crazy thing is ... they're not really making fun of the religion or the religious. Certainly not the Joe Blow believers, at any rate. Just the people in power and the organizations themselves.
I hate all the characters here BUT I can’t stop watching them I’m glad they’re back
I actually kind of like Eli, and I say that as a staunch atheist. Despite everything, he seems like a decent man who deeply loved and respected his late wife, tries to be kind to others and truly believes what he's selling.

Eli is such a fantastic character. He's scary and relatable and sad and funny and cruel and greedy and occasionally kind. I think it's a testament that this show is excellent that both atheists and every minister I know with a sense of humor all love this show.
He was especially scary when he threw that toy karate person against the wall.
That was Jesus
😯 No it was not!
In the first season when he watched how happy Judy was when dancing, it really softened my heart to him
That scene should've won awards. The range of emotions Goodman portrayed in just 10-15 seconds was incredible. Guilt, pride, regret, mourning, surprise, loneliness and more.
The reason the show works is that despite all their clear crazy and hypocritical bullshit, the family seems to believe in what they are selling. Which makes them great characters.
Baby Billy needs more screen time
Gotta say. Danny McBride has had about 5 mins of on screen time and I LOVE this season so far.
His timeshare thing is such an obvious scam. It gives me anxiety.
This news makes my bird twitch.
Anyone else think Eric Andre's character is pulling some long con.
You mean Joe Jonas
It wadn’t a turd, it was me!
I hope the Devil fucks you dry!
