(S04E04) "I need my hands washed baby bro and you are the soap." - Drama
Leave it to Johnny to take the simplest of clichés and turn it into something that sounds wildly inappropriate. That seemed to be the theme for this episode though because everything was a little crazy. From a war veteran film producer dead set on ripping someone's eyeballs out to a bag full of multi-colored dildos, we got a taste of everything in "Sorry, Harvey."
I think the thing I loved about this episode is the way it mirrored Entourage installments of old as all the stories seemed to flow together. Save for Ari's little diversion with M. Night Shyamalan, this half-hour was wrapped up pretty tightly with plenty of laughs.
While the entire meeting between Eric and Harvey was fairly predictable (we all knew E was scared), it was still a riot to watch if only because you couldn't wait to hear what would come out of Harvey's mouth next. The guy is blood thirsty. It only seemed right that Drama would be the one to break the news to Harvey that Medellin was going to hit the market post-Cannes though. Out of the four, he's the only one stupid enough to do it. I wonder if Harvey will come back at them and genuinely try to hurt Vince's career? I say doubtful. If we've learned one thing from this show, absolutely nothing and no one can slow down the career of Vincent Chase.
Now speaking of Drama, I know I can't be the only one finding it hilarious that Johnny, a guy who considers himself to be the consummate ladies man, went ahead and picked the one transvestite out of a crowd of super-model worthy women. I'm not sure who to laugh at more. Drama or the Mayor (another masterful guest-appearance by Stephen Tobolowsky) of Beverly Hills? That Britney Spears-esque clip from TMZ was hilarious.
However, my favorite moment was when Ari broke up that couple's marriage. Only he could get involved in something like that. Ignoring the fact that the valet essentially told Ari how he breaks into people's houses, what are the chances of walking into something like that? ("Deny 'til you die pal.")
So now what's next for Vince? Who knows. Maybe he has a part waiting for him in Shyamalan's new pic? I'd personally like to see I Wanna Be Sedated somehow get resurrected. In the meantime, I'm content waiting for HBO to actually post the full-length Medellin trailer here.

Best episode in a long, long time. Favorite line:
"He looks like a POW."

Like I say every week, Entourage is the most consistently well written show on TV right now. Terrific casting. Hilarious plot lines. Great acting.
S04E04 was definitely in the top 5 Entourage shows of all time. Especially the TMZ moment at the end. OMG.

She wasn't a transvestite, she was a pre-op transgendered woman. There's a big, big difference. She's a woman. A transvestite would be a man.

She's a chick with a dick . . . and call it what you will, it was one of the funniest moments in Entourage history.

Not going to spoil anything here - but I wouldn't count Harvey out on the Medellin front just yet. Plus, thats the best looking dude I have e-v-e-r seen. You just knew Mayor McCheese was headed for trouble.
I'm with ya on the shady valets as well... I picked up on that instantly.

Piven got into the wrong Range Rover following his Emmy win last fall at Hyde's. Not sure who's fault that one was and no word as to whether it broke up a marriage either.

"plenty of laughs"? "Hilarious"? "a riot"?
Really? I mean, we enjoy "entourage" (although it is nowhere near as good as it was when it started) but, these kind of accolades for a show that is humorous, yes, but by no means a "laugh riot" make you guys sound like shills more than critics or reporters or even bloggers.
If you really can tell me with a straight face, that you sit on your couch and laugh OUT LOUD when it turned out the chick was a tranny, I will buy you a soda. It's a cute show, but, let's be real here, it's not the second coming of high humor.
The new applebees commercial is funnier than Entourage, albeit, unintentionally.

Awesome observation!

This was a great episode. I hadn't been that impressed with anything so far. Finally E wasn't a whiny dick and was back to his scrappy self. This was also a damn quotable episode.
"She's got balls your honor"
"Why would I buy a black cock?"
"I spent the night in jail."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"I only had one call and I was saving it for someone I like to have sex with."
