The Top 10 'Entourage' Moments That Would Never Have Happened in the Real World

Entourage returns to HBO on Sunday night (10:30 p.m. ET) and with it comes the glorious life we all wish we had. But is it a little too glorious? As much as I like the show, there are just too many times where I find myself saying, "This would never ever under any circumstance happen in real life" (and I don't just mean Turtle dating Meadow Soprano). So without further ado, here are 10 moments from past seasons of "Entourage" that stretch reality a little too far:

Turtle Gets His Pot Back:

What Happened on the Show: Turtle gets pulled over by cop in a car full of ladies. The cop finds pot in the vehicle and makes Turtle dump it out in a sewer. Shrew Turtle, however, just puts it on a ledge in the sewer instead of pouring it out. Minutes later, after the cop has left, he retrieves the pot and drives away.

What Happens in Real Life: The cop -- jealous that a short, overweight guy named Turtle managed to get himself in a car full of hot chicks -- arrests Turtle. The pot gets taken by the cop, who gives it to his token stoner friend from high school to enjoy.

Kanye Gives the Boys a Ride:

What Happened on the Show: The boys discover that Sydney Pollack, on whose private plane they were supposed to fly to Cannes, doesn't have enough room for everyone. With LAX shut down to due to terror warnings, it appears the gang will miss the premiere of "Medellin." As the group turns to leave the terminal, Kanye West and his entourage roll up and offer Vince and the boys a seat on his plane.

What Happens in Real Life: Kanye West doesn't just happen to stroll by within 30 seconds after the group realizes their trip to Cannes isn't happening. So they go home, Turtle rolls a joint, and Drama makes a big meal while they wallow in their misery.

Vince's Career Goes Down the Tube:

What Happened on the Show: After "Medellin" bombs, Vince can't get a gig and ends up living in a secluded Mexican resort with Turtle.

What Happens in Real Life: Like most actors who star in a box office disaster, Vince gets another job. See Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Samuel L. Jackson, and just about every other actor in Hollywood.

The Drama and Turtle Three-Way:

What Happened on the Show: Turtle and Drama spend most of their trip to Sundance hitting on Cassey, Shauna's driver, who happens to be played by the ridiculously hot Sarah Carter. When it appears Cassey will make her decision, she throws a curveball by proposing a three-way. Drama and Turtle reluctantly agree and head upstairs with the blonde hottie.

What Happens in Real Life: The two go upstairs, secretly praying that the other one backs off so they don't have to see each other's junk. Neither does, however, and just as things are about to heat up, the two confess they can't go through with it and go to the bathroom to take care of themselves.

Vince Bangs Sara Foster ... and Talks About It:

What Happened on the Show: Vince is on "Jimmy Kimmel" with fellow guest Sara Foster. It turns out the two have a past and they "reconnect" in the dressing room before the show. During the Kimmel taping, Vince tells the world he just nailed Sara in the dressing room.

What Happens in Real Life: I can see Vince and Sara Foster having a little pre-show fun, but there is no way he is telling the world about it 10 minutes later on "Kimmel." Not with Shauna, his uber-possessive PR woman, standing backstage. I also think its important that everyone take a second and observe the complete disappearance of Foster over the past few years. Since 2006, she has appeared in "Bachelor Party 2," "The Other End of the Line," and a few episodes of "90210." In other words, Hollywood hasn't been too kind to this hottie. I mean, look at her. You're telling me no director can find a place for her in a movie! Who is she -- Vincent Chase after "Medellin?"

The Gang Meets the Mayor:

What Happened on the Show: Drama wants his new condo to be a part of the distinguished 90210 zip code, so he befriends the mayor of Beverly Hills and invites him for a night on the town with the boys. The Mayor has the night of his life, meets a tranny, falls in love, and agrees to give Drama his coveted zip code.

What Happens in Real Life: For starters, the Mayor of Beverly Hills doesn't look like he just stepped out of casting for "Beauty and the Geek." I'm also guessing he'd have some type of security or a bodyguard since, you know, he's in charge of one of America's wealthiest communities. I'd also hope that he'd be able to play the "Mayor of Beverly Hills" card to find himself a date instead of riding an actor's coat tails and landing a tranny.

Drama's Crush on a Masseuse:

What Happened on the Show: The boys head to Vegas for a little R&R, but all Drama is concerned with is finding his favorite male masseuse to give him a rubdown. After Drama spends the whole trip complimenting the (gay) masseuse for his magic fingers, the masseuse realizes that Drama is into him and makes his move. Drama bugs out, the gang laughs at him, and the episode ends with them brawling with Seth Green's crew.

What Happens in Real Life: Drama realizes that he's not only in Vegas, but in Vegas with his movie star brother who's more than willing to share the overflow of girls. Drama finds a woman to hit on, makes his move and forgets about the masseuse since he's about to bang a really hot chick. Though in fairness to this episode, Seth Green's performance as a dick was fantastic and saved this episode.

Drama Lands a Pilot:

What Happened on the Show: Drama, desperate to get his career back on track, lands an audition for Ed Burns' new NBC drama. But after a series of mishaps, Drama misses the rehearsal and just as he's about to explode in anger, he receives a call from Burns, who also missed the audition but wants to hire Drama anyway, no audition necessary.

What Happens in Real Life: Considering Drama's acting career has been a punch line throughout the show's three seasons, it's hard to believe that someone like Burns would just hire Drama on the spot. We say the two meet for coffee, Drama runs a few lines, messes them up, and Burns goes in another direction with the part -- maybe Dean Cain or the guy who played Kevin Arnold's older brother in "Wonder Years."

Drama and Turtle Get the Munchies, E Gets Sloane:

What Happened on the Show: The gang attends the Bat Mitzvah of Ari's daughter. Drama and Turtle pregame by getting baked, but when they arrive at the party, they have a bad case of the munchies and can't find anything to eat until a waitress lets them in on a little secret: the kids buffet. Meanwhile, Eric and Sloane get closer and it becomes clear that she is interested in him.

What Happens in Real Life: Drama and Turtle, two experienced pot smokers, learn how to either make do with no food or find something to eat. They certainly don't trade their stash with a waitress for information about where they can find some food. Sloane, meanwhile, realizes that she is mind-blowingly hot and goes after Vince, Robert Pattinson, Tim Tebow, or someone who is in her league. As much as I like E, he's just not getting a girl like that. Period.

Scorcese Saves Vince's Career:

What Happened on the Show: In the final episode of last season, Vince returns to Queens dejected after "Smokejumpers" -- the movie that was supposed to save his career - gets shut down by the studio. E convinces Gus Van Sant to look at footage from "Smokejumpers" in hopes that he'll cast Vince in his latest movie. Though impressed with the footage, Van Sant says no and it appears the season will end with Vince's career in the crapper. But out of nowhere, Martin Scorcese calls and offers Vince a part in his newest movie, ending the season on a high note.

What Happens in Real Life: Scorcese asks Vince to audition for the role. What Vince doesn't know is that this is a tactic by the legendary filmmaker to get Leonardo DiCaprio to lower his price. Leo relents and Vince is once again out of a job.

This is the most ridiculous POS i've ever read.
You seem to down play a lot of things in Entourage with your top 10 criticism. #1. half the crap you typed is wrong anyways #2. its a damn TV show, it's written by writers in order to keep it flowing correctly with a good plot, etc.

For Turtle and the Pot, yeah you have a point, he probably wouldn't have gotten away with it, but once again, all I have to say is its a TV show.

As far as the plane ride goes, yeah it was convenient that Kanye just happened to walk in, but it sure helped the plot not to mention added a cameo for a popular hip hop star (though his ego should be put in check).

No one is sitting there going "drama wouldn't want to spend a day getting massaged, he should just ask vince to get him a girl to ban" because the masseuse theme fits his character.

Pretty much all of these things were written the way they were to push the plot and script forward, I'm no film or writing analyst, but its pretty obvious why things are the way they are in the show. And I can bet that almost no one is thinking "that's so dumb, that wouldn't happen in real life"

I can't believe that you sit there and let the thought of whether or not something featured in the show can happen in real life captivate you more than the greatness of the show itself.

The observations you made regarding pot (arrest and munchies)...funny and true.

The comment above me, the guy who takes himself real serious, even funnier.
