Eastbound & Down may have wrapped its four-season run over two years ago, but that doesn't mean we've ever stopped quoting the bulletproof tiger Kenny Powers, and nor have we had a reason to. But that may change later this month when Danny McBride returns to HBO for the bawdy and morally deficient comedy Vice Principals, which he co-created with his Eastbound cohort Jody Hill. It's everything I was hoping it would be, with a large splash of total insanity mixed in for flavor.

Of all the ways I could describe Vice Principals, "complicated" is not a word that would come up. Danny McBride plays Neal Gamby, the ego-driven official for a high school that is bidding farewell to a vacating principal. There isn't a doubt in Gamby's mind that he won't get the promotion, even though it's a position also being sought out by the wily and conniving Lee Russell, played with expected aplomb by Justified vet Walton Goggins. However, both men are passed over for the gig in favor of the earnest, confident and good-natured Dr. Belinda Brown (Kimberly Hebert Gregory), and they're made to share the vice principal title. That's when the madness begins.

For Gamby and Russell will stop at nothing to achieve their misguided vengeance by making their new boss' life an absolute hell on every level. Seriously. No, seriously. The first episode, while solid in its own right, is almost like a prologue to the debauchery that follows, and you might be fooled into thinking these two main characters are just a couple of douchebag bullies who like to play pranks. By the time your head is wrapped around the second episode, though, it becomes quite apparent that Russell should be in maximum security loony bin instead of a position of power over impressionable teenagers.
