If you haven’t heard the great news, Grandpa Earl is BACK!
Five years ago, our buddy Dean Wilson put out a smash hit on YouTube…er I mean YouChoob and introduced Grandpa Earl to the world. Earl was a hit and 26 million views and five years later, he’s back again.
This time around he needs to investigate the Lawrence brothers, who his grandson keeps “glazing”.
Also, the fastest man in the world hasn’t ridden in six years and he’s kind of fallen off the wagon a little bit. His grandson Colton is now a teenager and is worried about his Grandpa and tells him that he basically needs to ride more and that is why he’s been acting so crazy.
Grandpa Earl 2 is another hit. Sequels usually aren’t as good as the original, but this one is funnier to me. Dean-O has reached the point in his life where he doesn’t really care what he says. He doesn’t have to worry about what he says becasue everyone loves him and he makes his sponsors money. We need more riders to be like Dean-O. This is like a mix between Dirty Grandpa and Motocrossed.
This is 12 minutes worth of gold. All the way from the beach where he’s rocking tighty whities, to telling Dylan Ferrandis that he’s no good in the sand, to ripping Cullin Park and Colt Nichols. It’s perfect.
My favorite line in this entire production is when Earl says “It smells like pump gas up here. It smells like privateers.” That’s absolute gold and will be used at the local and pro tracks for years.
I’ll give the acting in this an 8/10. Dean-O should be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor and surprisingly Jett and Cullin do a great job as well. For a handful of guys who just ride all day, this was pretty convincing. I even liked the part where Jett starts to run after Dean after stealing his bike.
Also, it’s nice that Dean kept the part in about him actually getting on the bike. Don’t let him fool you, but that is actually how he has to get on the bike every time that he rides. Those knees aren’t too young anymore, mate. Chiz looks like that too.
I’m pretty sure we need a part three to this Grandpa Earl madness. We need to unleash Dean, I mean Earl, in the pits at a round of Supercross or something. Let’s let him roam the pits and we’ll give him his own camera crew and watch the all the greatness unfold.
Make this happen Dean-O.
We had supporting characters. We needed more Cullin Park. I’m giving Grandpa Earl 2 an overall five stars out of five. A perfect score. I laughed, I cried, I wished it was longer.
