Featured review
Herman Baseball Star
This is another favorite episode of mine from the show, it's another of the sports comedy episodes from this show, but this one is my favorite as it's once again Herman at his best.
Not much to really say as it's simply Herman trying out for the team. Simple concept but it's the execution that makes it stand out, it's just funny as this is more physical comedy though also just seeing Herman being well Herman. Really like some of Herman's reactions of excitement and childlike giddiness, it's probably what a lot of us whom love Baseball and may have had big dreams of playing for the Majors. Heck, it's probably what every new baseball player feels inside when their recruited to play for Minors and Majors.
And of course, there is the physical comedy, which is great, though I'd hardly call the game Herman is playing a game as it's more a demolition job. We see despite Herman having talent, he may 'be too good for his own good, let alone the sport in general. We see him hit a homer which demolishes a score board, catch a fly while running though a steel fence, the list goes on you must see to believe.
Herman may not make it to the majors but at least he made Baseball history.
Rating: 4 stars.
