Each day this week, Complex will be rolling out a new Do-It-Yourself Halloween Costume option. Today, we’re kicking things off with a banger: Kenny Powers from the hilarious HBO comedy Eastbound & Down. Not only would it be awesome to walk around in Powers’ all-black everything x well-groomed mullet steez, but the best part is, you can go around your Halloween party yelling out “you have clothes like a fucking dickhead,” and not get beat up for it. To get the Kenny Powers look, snake-skin boots and all, follow our simple blueprint below…
Ever hopped up out the bed and felt lame? Wearing today’s Buy It Now can help you out when your morale is low. This shirt from Pennant Race—modeled after the old-school caricature sports tees that we grew up rocking—features Complex hero, Kenny Powers. He’s the fucking man and our goal in life is to be like him. Now stop dressing like a dickhead and see below for detail pics and Buy It Now info. Cool T-shirts on the reg…
Whether it’s something hilarious a rapper said in a video, or a classic line from our favorite TV show, a majority of our time in the Complex office is wasted spent quoting our favorite lines and catchphrases. That’s why we’ve put together this little bundle of fucking awesomeness called The Complex Soundboard—yep, it’s a fully embeddable, interactive collection of the illest, funniest, and most memorable sound bites from a diverse group of celebrities that includes Bill O’Reilly, Bizzy Bone, Jim Jones…and Jim Jones…and Jim Jones. Crank the speakers, get your clicker-finger ready, and prepare to terrorize your cubicle-mates (or fuck up your school library). Soundboard burial!
TITLE: Eastbound & Down: The Complete First Season
GENRE: Comedy/Sports
STARS: Danny McBride, Katy Mixon, Will Ferrell, Craig Robinson
FUN FACT: Fans speculate that Kenny Powers is based on MLB bad boys like John Rocker, John Kruk, and Mitch “Wild Thing” Williams, but McBride says that he’s simply a “greatest hits of all of the shamed ballplayers.”
WHY COMPLEX IS CO-SIGNING IT: We’re on Danny McBride’s jock—his horny, arrogant, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, foul-mouthed, drugged-out, washed-up jock, Kenny Powers, that is. McBride, who stood out in The Foot Fist Way, Pineapple Express, and Tropic Thunder, is pitch perfect as the disgraced and penniless former Major League Baseball star flame-thrower who’s forced to live amongst the little people and teach physical education at his middle school while he tries to make a comeback. Eastbound has filthy humor on the reg, Katy Mixon’s super twos on the reg, Will Ferrell and Craig Robinson guest appearances on the reg, and all sorts of other cool shit on the reg. The first season of this HBO gem—six half-hour episodes—leaves us wanting more, but when a pitcher who throws “faster than fuck” hurls a perfect game, they don’t dick around about it, they just bring the heat, get in and get out. If you’re not going to bat for this series, quite simply, you’re fuckin’ out!
