Has anyone watched that "Blue Collar Comedy" show on Comedy Central?

[terrya]

Comedy Central plugs this thing to death.

If you've seen it...is it as stupidly unfunny, right-wing and homophobic as it looks?

I just want to know so that I don't accidentally watch part of it.

Thanks

1. larry the cable guy

makes me pray for nuclear holocaust.


so, this would be a 'nay' vote.

[judge_smales]

Knowing that he's from

Sanford Florida expalins alot.

2. I know *I* don't get it.

And I usually like Foxworthy. But that Cable Guy is just plain unfunny.

3. It takes the words "dumbing down of America" to new lows

The media thinks pandering to stupidity will get more viewers. I watched it for about 15 minutes before I decided that the Cartoon Network has greater social value.

20. it actually does

if you catch them when thier playing Gundam, a show designed to show the horrors of war

[judge_smales]

4. It's not that bad.

I've seen it. Not my kind of thing but my kids seem to love it.

And when people say "It's just a joke", sometimes it really is.

8. "It's just a joke" is the life of most of the Thuglies who enjoy it

This is the group who voted * into office. Unfunny fits much better.

5. Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall are actually pretty funny,

but I've heard the show is not so good.

[Bunny]

13. I agree. Foxworthy and Engvall are okay, Larry the Cable Guy is a

racist, sexist turd. If Ron White were on, it might be a more entertaining show. He seems to be more on the ball than the rest of them - perhaps he saw this coming and wisely passed on it?

6. It reminds me of a cross between Mama's family and heehaw w/o the music

not my thing.

[MsAnthropy]

7. It's like the new version of "Hee Haw"

lowbrow, infantile, idiotic

[Richardo]

9. "Hee Haw" is Masterpiece Theatre compared to Blue Collar

But then I actually liked Hee Haw as a kid.

10. It's just not that funny.

It's clearly supposed to be a spinoff of the Blue Collar Comedy tour, but they failed to get the funniest guy on that tour, Ron White, inked to the show. Thus, it's lacking in ideas, and therefore just not very funny.

[MemphisTiger]

11. Larry the cable guy SUCKS

but, the others were pretty funny. Especially, Ron White. Any drunk guy on stage telling stories about being drunk is usually pretty funny.

[andyhappy]

12. reminds me why I left texas

[MindPilot]

14. No, very much the opposite

it pokes fun at at the homophobic, right-wing trailer-dwelling, mouth-breathing sister-lovers.

If you're looking for some club-quality rightard pandering-to-the- room, tune in "Tough Crowd" with Colin (Dennis Miller Lite) Quinn. That hack delivers enough lib-bashing, war-loving, euro-slamming to satisfy the most morAnic freeper.

[DainBramaged]

15. Tough Crowd was cancelled

[MindPilot]

19. Wow , that was fast!!

I didn't realize I had that much power! :silly:

[Patiod]

16. It's a shame

We both love Ron White and like Jeff Foxworthy, so we watched the first few episodes.

We don't watch anymore, though, because we can't get over how scatalogical the show is. The opening monologue is usually funny, as is the "I believe..." little bit they do. But the skits themselves are embarrassing. There was one that had a family's "teenaged" daughter showing the new (middle-aged man) neighbor her extremely suggestive stripper-like cheerleading routine - shaking her chest over his head, rubbing her butt on his lap. Are these the family values the red states have been pushing for?

(Although they did do one skit that hit close to home, where Foxworthy destroys the house looking for the remote control rather than walking over to the TV and changing the channel by hand).

[TreasonousBastard]

17. Why not...

watch it and make up your own mind?

Me, I laughed at some of the routines. Didn't laugh much at others.

("If they call 'Hoedown' and your sister hits the floor, you might be a redneck.")

18. It's the stupidest thing ever

I grew up around folks like that (yes we have em here in wisconsin), but i got along with them! so i gave the show an honest try once or twice...

dumbest show i've ever seen

[Mistra_Know_It_All]

21. It's about as funny as a bag of cigarette butts

[RetroLounge]

22. Yes, it is stupid

The original live standup show the 4 of them did was pretty funny, actually.

I must admit, Foxworthy's bit about the guy getting his nipple bit off by a beaver was pretty funny.

23. This show is stupider than Crank Yankers
