In this hilarious, hidden-camera cringe-fest, Johnny Knoxville plays Irving Zisman who, having just lost his wife, is taking a road trip to North Carolina with his eight-year-old grandson, Billy (Jackson Nicoll) and you won't believe what they get up to on the way.
Imagine sitting in the waiting room of a law office next to Billy and having this conversation about his mother. I mean, awkward doesn't come close, right?
Billy
You know what I wanna be when I grow up?
Woman 1
What?
Billy
A fisherman. I wanna go fishing every day 'til I'm rich so I can move right next to the jailhouse so I can be close to my mommy. She got arrested for drugs again so she has to go back.
Woman 1
I'm sorry to hear that.
Billy
My mommy's breath smells so bad because she smokes so much crack. What do you think?
Woman 2
What do I think? About what?
Billy
Mmm... my mommy's bad breath.
Woman 2
Maybe it will get better.
Billy
Thank you. That helps.
Clip 2
Being told that your wife has passed away in the night is hard. In a waiting room? Even harder. But when you laugh at the news, that's gotta be hard for someone else to witness.
Doctor
Mister Zisman? Mister Zisman? Mister Zisman?
Irving
Hmm?
Doctor
Hi. I'm, uh... I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your wife, she took a turn for the worse last night and, um, she passed away. I'm so sorry.
Irving
[Begins to laugh, inexplicably considering the news he's just received]
Oh! I thought she'd never die. Oh!
Doctor
I'm going to let you process this, and, uh, I'll be back in just a moment, okay?
Irving
Thank you. Thank you, Doc!
[To woman sat next to him]
Don't get me wrong, I'm upset, but she was a... crabby old bat.
Woman
Well, I'm sorry for your loss.
Irving
She hadn't given me any nookie since the '90s. And then it was only out of spite. She's in a much better place. And I'm in a much better place.
[To his penis]
Did you hear that, Leroy? We're free! I'm free.
Clip 3
Billy's biological father, Chuck lives in Raleigh. Irving and a counsellor named Shirley are video calling him to make arrangements for him to take temporary custody of his son. Which goes well. Ahem.
Irving
I need you to come get Billy, like, from me. Why are you shaking your head?
Chuck
'Cause this is, this is, this is real bad timing right now for me. I'm having some problems with my business right now.
Shirley
Okay.
Irving
Oh, your business, huh? What business is that?
Chuck
I sell computers.
Irving
Sell... he couldn't sell pu**y on a troop train.
Chuck
Oh, that's a disgusting thing to say.
Shirley
Okay, but that doesn't help. That doesn't help.
Chuck
That's a disgusting thing to say.
Irving
You're right. You're right. I'm sorry for insulting you.
[CHUCK sparks up a bong and begins smoking weed]
Irving
Are you serious? This is a disaster. All right, Chuck. If you can't come to Lincoln, then I'll just bring him to you in North Carolina.
Chuck
No. 'Cause I don't have money to take care of a kid.
Girl
My cousin, he just had to take his baby girl, and the state's paying him $600 a month for free.
Chuck
He's getting 600 bucks? Do you get the same for a boy? I think I can work something out. I think, I think that if Irving was to bring him here to Raleigh, I could take the kid.
Shirley
And then if it didn't work out...
Chuck
600 bucks a month will make it work for me.
Shirley
So... And that isn't guaranteed, what she just said. It's something you would have to investigate.
Chuck
No, no. It's guaranteed. She's always right. It's a done deal, man. Drop him off.
Irving
All right. Two on Sunday.
Chuck
2pm Sunday -
[Behind CHUCK, a teenager falls over, pulling some shelving down on top of himself]
Great, man. Great. Great. There goes like, half my inventory.
Irving
What a wonderful business you have.
Shirley
All right, Chuck... what's your last name?
Chuck
Muskie. M-U-S-K-I-E.
Shirley
Okay.
Irving
D-O-U-C-H-E is how you spell it.
Chuck
Yeah. That's right. F-A-G-O-T is your last name.
Irving
Your son's right here if you don't mind.
Chuck
Bye, A-S-S-O-L-E.
Irving
Sh*thead. Sh*tbird, dummy butt. Let's just... let's just walk away.
Chuck
Suck it.
Irving
Suck it? That's nice.
Chuck
Suck a bowl of d*cks.
Billy
Bye, Dad.
Clip 4
Irving is holding an open house sale to make some cash and get rid of some furniture and fittings he no longer needs. He's in the basement with Billy who, according to Irving, is a c*ck-block.
Irving
Ma'am, how do you explain what a c*ck-block is to an eight-year-old? Can you help me explain that? 'Cos that's what's sitting there. A little c*ck-block.
Woman
You're a... you're a good boy.
Irving
No, he's not. Don't listen to her.
Woman
He's a good boy.
Irving
You like him so damn much, you take him!
Clip 5
Irving's hit upon an idea. Instead of driving Billy to Raleigh, he'll ship him in a box. Yeah, that's a legendary idea, huh? Nothing could possibly go wrong there. Genius.
Irving
It'll get there overnight.
Woman 1
You know that they're just gonna be throwing you around and everything, don't you?
Irving
Well, give me a pen and we'll write "fragile" on it.
Woman 1
Are you sure you want to do this?
Woman 2
You need a blanket?
Woman 1
We can't ship a human!
Billy
I'll take one.
Irving
Well, you can if you didn't know this happened.
Woman 1
I can't ship you. You're... you're... you're living!
Woman 2
Should we call the police on them?
Irving
Oh, no! No police. Just help me get him out of the box. I'll take him.
Clip 6
Irving has got drunk. Wasted. And he's in a shopping cart, being pushed by Billy who, not surprisingly, is getting exhausted.
Irving
Oh, God.
Billy
Do you have any idea how heavy you are?
Irving
Do you have any idea how I don't give a sh*t?
Clip 7
They've made it to a drive-thru. Irving has fallen for the woman working the serving window but he's pushed to the side in the parking lot by a server. And then this conversation takes place.
Irving
Okay, we need some chickens and a big side of poontang.
Server
[Laughs]
There's poontang there. There's some inside.
Irving
Well, I want some to go. Go hook that up.
Clip 8
Billy and Irving haven't exactly been shoplifting but Irving has been helping himself to all of the ingredients to make Billy and himself a sandwich. Oh and some chocolate milk.
Billy
Please don't get mad at my grandpa. He's old and he doesn't know what he's doing.
Billy
What's going on? Where am I?
Clerk
You know what he's doing, baby. You know what he doing and you doing it with him.
Billy
Sometimes he sh*ts himself.
Clerk
No. You took that one.
Billy
And sometimes he sits in it like a baby.
Irving
I don't sh*t myself, you little pr**k.
Clip 9
Billy is trying to find Irving. He knocks on the door of an adult book store figuring that he might well be there. And that's a very real possibility, let me tell you. Shrewd kid!
Billy
[Knocks on the door of the adult book store which is opened by a female member of staff]
Woman
What's up?
Billy
Is this an adult bookstore?
Woman
Yeah.
Billy
Is my grandpa in here?
Woman
No. Is there somebody, like... is somebody, like, watching you or something?
Billy
No. Did you get that shirt at Tramps R Us?
Woman
What?
Billy
Did you get that shirt at Tramps R Us?
Woman
No.
Billy
Oh.
Woman
How old are you?
Billy
Eight.
Woman
What's your name?
Billy
Billy.
Woman
When did you... when did you get here?
Billy
You're asking a lot of questions for a stripper. What's your stage name?
Woman
What?
Billy
What's your stripper stage name?
Woman
I don't have a stage name. I'm not a stripper.
Billy
I'll just call you Cinnamon.
Woman
Cinnamon? I look like a stripper?
Billy
Yeah. In a good way.
Woman
In a good way?
Clip 10
If Irving had all the money he'd spent on poontang... Yeah. You heard that right. Irving uses the word poontang which is probably why he can't get himself any.
Irving
If I had all the money I spent on poontang, you know what I'd do with it?
Stall Holder
What?
Irving
Spend it on poontang.
Clip 11
Sitting in a diner, enjoying breakfast. Or a coffee. The last thing you probably want to see is an old man sh*tting himself up the wall of a snug, right? Yeah.
Irving
I think all this bacon is getting to Grandpa.
[He leans over and farts]
Billy
Did you... did you just toot, Grandpa?
Irving
That was a church house creeper.
Billy
I think I got one.
[BILLY also farts]
Irving
I think you need to clean out your shorts.
Billy
Beat that!
Irving
Grandpa's tummy's hurting.
Billy
[Coughs]
Let it out!
Irving
Try this one on for size.
[IRVING stands up, bends forwards and straight-out sh*ts up the wall of the diner]
Oh, God.
Billy
Ew, Grandpa, you sharted!
Clip 12
Encouraging a minor to drink? Providing him with alcohol? That's a felony right there. Not that Irving cares. He and Billy are doing some bonding in the sunshine.
Irving
Have a sip of beer with Grandpa.
[BILLY takes a swig from a beer can, spits it out and then coughs twice]
Passing Woman
'Cause he should not be drinking.
Billy
Grandpa, I'm fu*king wasted.
Clip 13
Irving and Billy are staying the night in a motel. Irving has charitably given Billy the larger of the two beds and when the light goes out, this conversation takes place. Classic!
Irving
Night, Billy.
Billy
Grandpa, can we go fishing tomorrow?
Irving
Maybe.
Billy
Promise?
Irving
Sure, I promise maybe.
Billy
Oh, I think I hear a flock of geese!
[BILLY c*cks a leg and farts, loudly]
Oh, my God, I think I just sh*t myself.
Irving
[Laughs hysterically, so much so that this was probably not scripted]
