With Walton Goggins becoming the internet's newest man-crush following his turn as Cooper Howard/Ghoul in the , fans are also ready for his return in The Righteous Gemstones. Unfortunately, doesn't premiere until later this year or early next year. While we wait, we've rounded up some of the funniest scenes from The Righteous Gemstones to scratch that itch (and remind us of just how over-the-top this show can be!) This is a show that pulls no punches.
Everything is on the table, and nothing is off-limits. The Righteous Gemstones finds its comedy footing by injecting hilarity into otherwise serious moments—a juxtaposition that tickles our funny bones and leaves us wanting more. Some scenes have us belly-laughing while others have us covering our faces in secondhand embarrassment, but either way, this show knows funny.
Here are, in our humble opinion, the funniest scenes in The Righteous Gemstones so far. We would be remiss if we didn't kick things off with one of Baby Billy's best moments: the song he covers in the opening scene of Season 3 Episode 3. A cover of Red Sovine's 1978 gospel song "There'll Come a Payday" would otherwise be a slow, boring hymnal.
But absolutely crushes it with his deep southern twang and Matthew McConaughey-esque whistle. And let's talk about that outfit. A bright, sparkly teal suit, pink ruffled sleeves, and a giant, iridescent shell on his back? In the island heat? Only Goggins could pull it off.
This scene perfectly encompasses The Righteous Ge.
