Turns out Danny McBride was not kidding when he commented about the cast of The Righteous Gemstones “hanging dong” during this fourth and final season. On the red carpet for the closing premiere, show creator Danny McBride proudly proclaimed that the religious comedy series would “really push the limits of our dong hanging this season. We have a lot of dongs of every age and shape, so hopefully fans will appreciate it.”

Well, fans of Mr. Man sure do! After just the first four episodes of the final season, it seems Danny is making good on his promise. You can spot a cock in every episode, though some are more front and center than others. The premiere, which was a flashback episode set during the Civil War featuring Bradley Cooper, had the A-lister bathing in a river with a slew of naked men.

Ep. 04x01 | 00:18:57 Bradley Cooper comes into the series as a Gemstone ancestor during the Civil War and has a wash-up in the river with plenty of other naked guys! (11 secs)

The second episode saw the return of Walton Goggin’s CGI daddy dick during a pantsless scene six minutes in, and then episode three had another nameless nude flaunting full frontal the background while Tim Baltz was sporting a tight one-piece.

Ep. 04x03 | 00:15:15 Tim Baltz gets on stage and does a routine at the pole dance contest, but it's some uncredited hunk in the dressing room that goes full frontal here! (31 secs)

But this past Sunday’s episode has arguably the craziest cock shot of the series, and that’s saying something. The fourth episode kicked off in epic fashion - with Walton’s Uncle Baby Billy water-skiing completely in the buff. Seeing that wrinkled member flapping in the wind was a jarring start despite it not being anywhere near the first time the character has dropped trou.

And while yet another “stunt penis” was utilized, Danny noted in an interview with IndieWire that “we’ve never used the same penis twice” to portray Uncle Baby Billy’s elderly appendage.
Hopefully the rest of the season is as flesh-filled! It’s nice to know Danny shares our enthusiasm for full frontal male nudity and is giving so many schlongs their chance to be seen on television. He's truly doing the Lord's work!
