Entourage 5/6: The Ari Gold Mine

Ari Gold on the golf course is slowly starting to gain traction in the "What's inherently funny?" conversation.
From his work with his therapist while she played golf (Nora Dunn) to a round with Mark Wahlberg earlier in Season 5 to his undressing of Bob Ryan (Martin Landau) this past week, it's all fantastic television.
And since we won't see any Ari-Mrs. Ari therapy scenes this season, we'll have to take the golf course scenes when we get them.
But the Ari Gold Mine (AGM) this week flips the script a little bit. Rather than saluting something Ari did, the AGM goes to something that was done to Ari.
As he lined up to putt, Ryan and Alan, Warner Brothers studio head, hammered away at Ari. Then, just as he began to putt, Ryan pulled a "Caddyshack" and screamed out "Miss it, scumbag!"
Yeah, that's a little better than "Noonan!"

I actually think the AGM should have been the last part of this episode...where we once again see the whole Ari Gold. After being taunted and tongue lashed by Ryan -- losing the bet, not to mention a whole lot of money -- you see the human being Ari is -- and his line about having to go home and spend time with his family to reflect on how precious life is...just a great example of the character of Ari Gold.
