Larry The Git-R-Done Guy is a Fraud!

[mykevermin]

Old news to some of you, I'm sure; for those who could care less, however...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c75fUO5bvms

[r1s3n]

So he reinvented himself into a easier sell for uh rednecks? Or maybe he was trying to be something he's not and just stayed true to he was originally. Regardless, I could care less, as I don't enjoy his humor, though I do find Ron White to be freaking hilarious!

[evilmax17]

Not a shock. It would've been awesome if he had a thick french accent though.

[crazytalkx]

Already knew this. I don't find him funny, be it in this video or as part of that blue collar group although I agree with r1s3n about Ron White.

[RedvsBlue]

Wow, and I thought his Larry the Cable Guy stuff was bad. This is absolutely atrocious...

I agree with r1s3n though. Ron White is not only the funniest of the Blue Collar guys but he's the only funny one.

[SneakyPenguin]

I didn't think it was possible for him to be any less funny.

[Javery]

I don't get it.

[botticus]

I don't get it. He mysteriously did not have a heavy redneck accent in the video.

Somehow I knew about this a while ago, good to see he's just as unfunny without the hick schtick.

Edit: I suppose I should make sure that you realize the guy in the video is Larry the Cable Guy, javery ;)

Thanks - although it doesn't really help me since I have no idea who Larry the Cable Guy is either (I have heard of him though). I'm not too fond of redneck humor like Jeff Foxworthy or ... um, some other redneck comic. :D

"Look, I'm a redneck; I wear a flannel shirt, jeans, and boots!"

Most of us had the misfortune of seeing Blue Collar Comedy Tour, and now somehow the man has a feature picture coming out soon.

[CoffeeEdge]

Not suprising, somehow. It always seemed like he was too stupid for the whole thing to not be some sort of act. He sure is playing it to the hilt though.

[jlarlee]

I dunno it doesn't get more country than that nifty mullet he is sporting in the video. I would say his current act now just exaggerates his schtick more than creates a whole new one

[SMMM]

I dunno it doesn't get more country than that nifty mullet he is sporting in the video. I would say his current act now just exaggerates his schtick more than creates a whole new one

nah, that was just a somewhat common style back then. Totally 80s/early 90s

He sounds like homosexual northerner...something that doesn't scream "redneck" to me.

According to his wiki, he attended the Kings Academy in West Palm Beach, where his father worked as the principal of Kings Academy's elementary school. He's a Californian for god sakes!

[Xevious]

I have no problem with him changing his style as a comedian.

Rodney Dangerfield did it. Why cant him?

As for the quality of his jokes, thats another discussion altogether.

There was some interview with him on the country tv channel and he said he didn't always have that accent and he actually grew up in a rural area.

I find him to be funny, but just like the other blue collar guys, his jokes get stale as he just recycles them over and over.

[dothog]

It came out many months ago.

Actually his film came out months ago, now its coming to DVD. It was stupid, even for Larry.

Nothing beats seeing him live though. I got free tickets and went to see him and his fans are all rednecks in camo or flannel. He has some funny material, but he just keeps saying the same jokes all the time just like Foxworthy.

[CrimGhost]

NO YOU BITCH MY LIFE IS RUINED! Ok im done.

[6669]

I really hate this guy. Some gross redneck at my school who kept hitting on me tries to look just like this guy. He even has a "GIT R DONE" bumper stick on his shitty truck.

[gofishn]

This isn't really news. Larry the Cable Guy isn't a real guy, just a character. If I remember correctly the character was created for a local radio station in Orlando and it took off from there. How can you blame him? It has obviously paid off for the guy. The first time I saw him I thought he was pretty funny, but every time I've seen him since them his jokes have essentially been rehashes of what he's already done. I do agree that people have taken this too far though. Git-r-done? What the hell does that even mean?

[xmrblondex]

i need to find the letter to larry the cable guy from david cross. It talks about this...

[Scobie]

I kinda liked the one about grandma having worms and scooting her ass across the carpet. Git-R-Done thar, grammaw!!!1

[6669]

i need to find the letter to larry the cable guy from david cross. It talks about this...
Wow, please do. I love David Cross!

[xmrblondex]

Hello Larry,

It's me, David Cross. Recently I was shooting something for my friends at "Wonder Showzen" (the funniest, most subversive comedy on American T.V. at the moment) and when we were taking a break one of the guys on the show asked me if I had seen some article in something somewhere wherein you were interviewed to promote your new book "Please-Git-R-Done" (published by Crown Books $23.95 U.S.) and they asked about your devoting a chapter to slamming me and the "P.C. Left". Since I stopped following your career shortly after you stopped going on stage wearing a tool belt with cable wrapped around your neck (around your appearance at "Laffs 'n' Food" in Enid, Oklahoma Aug 23-26 1999?) I said I wasn't aware of the article. They went on to tell me that you said basically (and I am not quoting but paraphrasing their recall) that I could kiss your ass, that I've never been to one of your shows (true) and that I didn't know your audience (untrue).

SO, I went and got your book, "Gitting-R-Donned", and excitedly skimmed past the joke about that one time you farted and something farty happened, on past the thing about the fat girl who farted and finally found it, . Well, needless to say I farted. I farted up a fartstorm right there in the Flyin' J Travel Center. I fartingly bought the book and took it home with an excitement I haven't experienced since I got Bertha Chudfarter's Grandma drunk and she took her teeth out and blew me as I was finger banging her while wearing a Jesus sock puppet in the back of the boiler room at The Church of the Redeemer off I-20 (I don't care who you are, that's funny.)

Anyhoo, I got home and read the good parts. It seems that you were pissed off at Rolling Stone magazine, and I can understand why. You made some good points in your argument as well. I agree that there is an eliteism and bias in the press and too often a writer will include asides to show the readers how smart he or she is and how "above it" they are. But come on! Surely you can't be surprised, or worse, hurt or offended by this. You even say in the book that you knew what you were getting into (Rolling Stone being all "lefty" and whatnot). Certainly I'm not surprised that they took a ten minute phone conversation with me and chose to print only the most inflammatory paragraph within it. That's what they do.

But I want to address some of the things you write about me in "Git-to-Gittin'-r-Done". In response to the Rolling Stone article, but first let me say this; you are very mistaken if you think that I don't know your audience. Hell, I could've been heckled by the parents of some of the very people that come see you now. I grew up in Roswell, Georgia (near the Funny Bone and not far from The Punch Line). The very first time I went on stage was at The Punch Line in Sandy Springs in 1982 when I was 17. I cut my teeth in the south and my first road gigs ever were in Augusta, Charleston, Baton Rouge, and Louisville. I remember them very well, specifically because of the audience. I remember thinking (occasionally, not all the time) "what a bunch of dumb redneck, easily entertained, ignorant motherfuckers. I can't believe the stupid shit they think is funny." So, yes, I do know your audience, and they suck. And they're simple. And please don't mistake this as coming from a place of bitterness because I didn't "make it" there or, I'm not as successful as you because that's not it at all. Since I was a kid I've always been a little over sensitive to the glorification and rewarding of dumb. The "salt of the earth, regular, every day folk" (or lowest common denominator) who see the world, and the people like me in it, as on some sort of secular mission to take away their flag lapels and plaster-of-paris jesus television adornments strike me as childishly paranoid. But perhaps the funniest (oddest) thing in your book is you taking me to task for being P.C. Have you heard my act?! I'll match your un-P.C.ness any day of the week my friend. I truly believe, and have said onstage amongst other things that, orthodox Jews are bar none, the most annoying people, as a group, that walk this earth. I absolutely refuse to say the term "African-American". It's a ridiculous and ill-applied label that was accepted with a thoughtless rush just to make white people feel at ease and slightly noble. I also believe that in the right setting that, as unfortunate as it may be, retarded people can be a near constant source of entertainment (fact!). Larry, whether northern, southern, straight, gay, male, female, liberal, conservative, Christian or Jew, I've walked them all. It didn't matter if it was a room full of "enlightened" hippie lesbian wicans at Catch A Rising Star in Cambridge, MA or literally hundreds of students at the University of St. Louis (a Jesuit school) or a roomful of the cutest, angriest frat boys in Baton Rouge all threatening to beat me up, I un-P.C.'d the shit out of them. That's another thing that bothers me too. I honestly believe that if we had worked a week together at whatever dumb-ass club in American Strip Mall #298347 in God's Country U.S.A and hung out that week and got good and drunk after the shows, that you and I would've been making each other laugh (I imagine we would have politely disagreed on a few things) but not only would we be laughing but we'd often be laughing at the expense of some of the audience members at that nights show and you know it. I'll address your easy, bullshit sanctimonious "don't mess with my audience" crap further on. But for now, let's "Gittle-R-Ding-Dong-Done!"

Okay, here's what I said in the RS interview: "He's good at what he does. It's a lot of anti-gay, racist humor -- which people like in America - all couched in 'I'm telling it like it is.' He's in the right place at the right time for that gee-shucks, proud-to-be-a-redneck, I'm-just-a-straight-shooter-multimillionaire-in-cutoff-flannel, selling-ring tones-act. That's where we are as a nation now. We're in a state of vague American values and anti-intellectual pride."

You took umbrage at my calling a lot of your act anti-gay and racist and said that "...according to Cross and the politically correct police, any white comedians who mention the word 'black' or say something humorous but faintly negative about any race are racists."

Well, first of all, your act is racist. Maybe not all the time, but it certainly can be. Here, let me quote you back, word for word, some of your "faintly negative" humor and I'll let people judge for themselves.

Re: Abu Ghraib Torture -

"Let me ask some of these commie rag head carpet flying wicker basket on the head balancing scumbags something!"

Re: Having a Muslim cleric give the opening prayer at the Republican Convention -

"What the hell is this the cartoon network? The Republicans had a muslim give the opening prayer at there (sic) convention! What the hell's going on around here! Is Muslim now the official religion of the United States!... First these peckerheads ( Ironically, "peckerhead" was a derogatory word slaves and their offspring used to describe white people) fly planes into towers and now theys (sic) prayin' before conventions! People say not all of em did that and I say who gives a rats fat ass! That's a fricken slap in the face to New York city by having some muslim sum-bitch give the invocation at the republican convention! This country pretty much bans the Christian religion (the religion of George Washington and John Wayne) virtually from anything public and then they got us watchin' this muslim BS!! Ya wanna pray to allah then drag yer flea infested ass over to where they pray to allah at!" End Quote. So... yeah. There you go. This quote goes on and on but my favorite part is when you say towards the end, "...now look, I love all people (except terrorist countries that want to kill us)..."

There are numerous examples and I don't think I need to reprint any more. You get the idea. Oh, what the hell, here's one more - "They're dead, get over it! Poor little sandy asses! I'm sure all them dead folks'd they'd killed give 40 shekels or whatever kinda money these inbred sumbitches use, but I'd give 40 of 'em whatever it is to be humiliated instead of dead!"

Okay Larry The Cable Guy, I will ignore the irony of a big ole southern redneck character actually using "inbred" as an insult, as well as the fact that a shekel is currency from Israel, the towel heads sworn enemy. But at least you're passionate about what you see as inhumane injustice (not on a global level of course, but on a national level) and the simple black and white of what's right and what's wrong. It's kinda like you're this guy who speaks for all these poor, unfortunate souls out there who wear shirts with blue collars on them, work hard all day to put food on the table for their family (unlike people who wear shirts with white collars or wear scrubs or t-shirts or dresses or costumes that consist of flannel shirts with the sleeves cut-off and old trucker hats) and pray to the American Flag of Jesus to protect them from the evils of muslims, queers, illegal immigrants, and the liberal jews who run Hollywood and the media. I guess one could say that you're "telling it like it is". And considering the vast amount of over-simplification you employ to describe with sweeping generalizations, all of America and the World that "don't make no sense to you", as well as your lack of sensitivity, and second grade grammar, one might be led to think that you are somewhat proud of not appearing (or being) too intellectual. Combine that with your sucker appeal to the knee-jerk white Christian patriot in us all who would much rather hear 87 fart jokes than hear a joke in which the President (the current one, not the last one) or the Pope, or Born-Again Christians, or Lee Greenwood get called on their shit for being the hypocrites that they are, and I think we've got a winner!

About being Anti-Gay. I honestly take that back. I do not think that you are anti-gay, I didn't choose those words wisely. Your stuff isn't necessarily anti-gay but rather stupid and easy. "Madder than a queer with lock jaw on Valentines Day." That's not that funny, I don't care who you are. It's just sooo easy. I mean, over half the planet sucks dick so why gays? Why not truck stop whores, or Hollywood Starlets or housewives? Because when you say "queer" you get an easy laugh. End of story.

As for being a multi-millionaire in disguise, that's just merely a matter of personal taste for me. I do not begrudge you your money at all, it is sincerely hard earned and you deserve whatever people want to give to you. What sticks in my craw about that stuff is the blatant and (again, personal taste) gross marketing and selling of this bullshit character to your beloved fans. Now look, if someone wants to pay top dollar to come to one of your shows and then drop a couple hundred more on "Git-R-Done" lighters and hats and t-shirts and windshield stickers and trailer hitches and beer koozies and fishing hats and shot glasses etc, then good for you. I just think it's a little crass and belies the "good ole boy" blue collar thing you represent. But that's no big deal.

Now, as for the last statement that "We're in a state of vague American values and anti-intellectual pride."

Well, I think that's true. When you can rally the troops (so to speak) with a lazy, "latte drinking, tofu eating" generalization of Liberals and "Back ass rag $$$s" to describe Arabs, then, yeah, I think that falls in the "ignorant" category. I think that with even the slightest attention to the double standard and hypocrisy of both the Left and the Right in this country (if not all of the Christian Extremists as a whole) coupled with the bullshit they lazily swallow and parrot back while happily ignoring the gross inhumane treatment of those that aren't them so that we may have cheap sneakers and oil and slightly less taxes (although I'm sure the bracket you're in now gives you a ton of tax money back), then you could maybe see my point. Now here's the best part - in your book you preface the above quote by saying, "...but I guess I'm not as intellectual as David Cross. In that Rolling Stone article, he sure showed us what a deep thinker he is by sayin' "America is in a stage of vague intellectual pride." Jesus Christ can you even fucking read?! Whoever read that article to you butchered the actual quote. The quote that was right fucking in front of their face! I would fire your official reader and have them replaced with a Hooters Girl who doesn't fart. That way you have something nice to look at while you are getting your misinformation.

As for "anti-intellectual pride", that is Larry The Cable Guy in spades. Let me quote you again (from an on-line interview, "I consider my jokes to be very juvenile (sic). Stuff a 14 year old would laugh at because that's the ...sence (sic) of humor I have.". Hmmm, okay. That was easy.

Well, I suppose I've already covered part of that in the above. But you also specifically dumb down your speech while making hundreds of purposefully grammatical errors. How do I know this? It's on page 17 of your book wherein you describe how you would "Larry" up your commentaries for radio. What does it mean to "Larry" something up? Take a wild guess. The reason you feel the need to "Larry" something up? Because you are not that dumb. I mean you, Dan Whitney, the guy who's name the bank account is under. You were born and raised in Nebraska (hardly The South), went to private school and moved to Florida when you were 16. This is when you developed your accent?! Not exactly the developmental years are they? At age 16 that's the kind of thing you have to make a concerted effort to adopt. Did you hire a voice coach? Or were you like one of those people who go to England for a week and come back sounding like an extra from "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"? As you said yourself in an interview once, "I can pop in and out of it pretty much whenever I want". In your book on page 89 you say in reference to the "gee-shucks" millionaire comment, "...see, to his (David's) mind, bein' well paid means I'm no longer real and I can't be a country boy anymore. It's just an act." Hey, it's always been an act! That's my fucking point! You admit it yourself so cut the indignation shit. And I am in no way deriding your work ethic. You clearly have more fart jokes than most and for that I applaud you. You go on to talk about how hard you work and life on the road and living on Waffle House and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I get it, we’ve all been there and played shitty, degrading gigs and sacrificed etc, etc. Then you say, "...this (the personal attack) was different because David basically hammered my fans in that RS article by implying that they were ignorant. He crossed the line when he railed against them, so I had to tell ya what I felt about that. He can hammer me all he wants, but when he screwed with my fans, it was time for me to say something." Aww, that's so sweet and egregious. I can't stand that fan ass kissing bullshit. You and Dane Cook ought to get together and have a "my-fan's-are-the-greatest-people-on-earth-and-that's-why-I-do-this" off. You could both sell a shit load of merch too. But having said that, I would truly love to get some of your fans and my fans in a room together to debate some of the finer points on comedy, music, culture, the issues facing our country today and just about anything else we might find worthy of discussion. My fans are pretty smart as well. They are also, I imagine, as "hard-working" as your fans. Not all of them of course, but most. And I'm sure that they may come up with some genuinely interesting, insightful points (and would do so without spouting a bunch of meaningless Christian platitudes). And if you really, truly want to respect your fans, lower your ticket price as well as the price of your ubiquitous merchandise. I'm sure all those hard-working Americans could use the extra money now that the budgets are being cut drastically from Transportation, Education, Health and Human Services, HUD, Dept of the Interior, EPA, Farm Service Agency, FEMA, Agricultural, FDA, VA, FDA, FHA, National Center for Environmental Health, and numerous other departments and agencies that they might directly rely on for help. All so that we can pay off this massive tax cut during "war" time that we're all getting (them not so much though). Oh well, that's just one of those "political" things that I think about occasionally.

Anyway, I just wanted to address the stuff you wrote about me and clear some things up. Mostly the air around here... I just farted!!!!!

Fart,
David Cross

I never read that before thanks for it, but I agree with David Cross 110%. Come to good 'ol south west VA and you can meet his (larry) real fans, trust me that crap he dose gets old when hear it over and over. I would say 1 in 4 cars has a get-r-done decal and everyone around here knows some one with some get-r-done crap. I know alot of the "real" people that are Larry's fan base and what David said is dead on about them. But I'm a crazy libral in the south so what the fuck do I know

In Norfolk, and I think in Va Beach there is a cafe called Git-R-Dun. Everytime I see a redneck with a jacked up Ford or Chevy, I just want to yank them out of the cab and screem git-r-done while I'm bashing their brains out. Yes rednecks here are that fucking retarded.

[Demolition Man]

Like......

ZOMG LARRY THE CABLE GUY IS A FRAUD!!!!!





Seriously tho I don't think he's really that funny. From the bits I've seen of him I swear he's tells the exact same 2-3 jokes with a few alterations to them each time. Oh well not the end of the world anyways.

The PC police in me is off having a donut, so I'll refrain from bitching about your misuse of the word "retarded." Nevertheless, this reminds me of something that seems to be a more recent phenomenon. Have you ever seen balls on the trailer hitch of a pickup truck? I don't mean two round balls, I mean a fucking flesh-colored rubber scrotum with two giant fucking testicles inside it? It's (I imagine) sold in two-packs with "Git-R-Done" stickers (or the "family pack" with the Confederate Battle Flag sticker).

Funny thing about truck-nuts, and something I like to inform those (thankfully very few) people I know who have them: the first person I know who owned truck-nuts was the very homosexual owner of a hair salon next to where I was formerly a bartender. That doesn't exactly sit well with many truck-nut owners, as you can imagine.

I think "Larry the Cable Guy" is playing an elaborate joke on the masses. Maybe.

I live about 10 mins from the NC border, so we get lots of rednecks up here. A lot of them live in the boonys of Va Beach (yes it does exist there). Seriously, they are retarded. Theres nothing PC about it. As for the "trucks nuts". I saw a pair down the road from my apartment a couple of days ago. All I could think is how dumb do you have to be to think that looks cool...

I watched this guy some to see what all his hype was about and he kept talking about farts n poop I was amazed grown adults laughing in the audience..

As far as his whole style being fake and all maybe his fans dont notice but isnt this a slap in the face to them? In a way hes just like me or anyone else making fun of rednecks and stupid country people hes making his fans think hes laughing with them but hes realy laughing at them with his clown costume on.

Hes pretty cool if u ask me its his fans that are pathetic. Maybe its like david chappels version of lil jon he goes home takes off his country wear and starts talking in a british accent and admiring his art with a pipe.

[Graystone]

I have no problem with him changing his style as a comedian.

Rodney Dangerfield did it. Why cant him?

As for the quality of his jokes, thats another discussion altogether.

Am I the only one that feels when someone says Git-r-done, 5'o clock somewhere, and wasting away margetville. Its just another way of saying white power. Cause thats what I get from it. I've heard the blue collar stuff and I don't care for it.

The only thing that was funny to me from Blue collar, was Ron White's "Can't Fix Stupid" that came on Comedy Central. it had little-no redneck jokes in it. From what I understand also it had nothing to do with Blue collar. IMO Ron White is the smartest, he stayed with it until he got millions of dollars and then dipped. He didn't get greedy he's back to doing his old stand-up.

Because only rednecks repeat them, and it always comes off racist to me. Like I said thats how I interpret it. You never see a white person say to another ethnicity get-r-done. But when a white person says it they look at the other white people around waiting for them to ackowledge the white power salute they just made. Again IMO

Shut the fuck up bitch. Damn, how the fuck can you correlate "Wasting away in Margaritaville" and "5-O'Clock somewhere" with a racist slur? Those phrases are obviously about getting fucking drunk. "Git-r-done" is not about getting wasted, but it certainly isn't about white power. Go somewhere else if you are gonna fucking write these incoherent, apocryphal posts.

[pimpinc333]

I don't get it. Was that him? I don't get any of that "Blue Collar Comedy". That shit is not funny. Only people who find it funny are Trailer Trash and Redneck's.

[HumanSnatcher]

You could always apply yelling "git-r-done" to a stand up comic that blows as heckling them when they suck, just as you can yell "freebird" to a band on stage that royaly suck

[niceguyshawne]

From the clip, it sounds like he is doing the same material, just with the camo/boots and "Git-R-Done" added.

[Skylander7]

I'm not a fan of his comedy, and I find it annoying.. but being someone living in Alabama, I have to say his act (c'mon.. you can't be surprised when a comedian has an act.. if the great Lewis Black yelled as much in real life as he does in his act, he'd have a stroke) is extremely effective marketing. If you think hearing "get-r-done" is annoying on TV, imagine having to hear it everywhere you go or seeing it on every cheapass truck on the road

[GuilewasNK]

I don't get it. Was that him? I don't get any of that "Blue Collar Comedy". That shit is not funny. Only people who find it funny are Trailer Trash and Redneck's.

This isn't really news. Larry the Cable Guy isn't a real guy, just a character. If I remember correctly the character was created for a local radio station in Orlando and it took off from there. How can you blame him? It has obviously paid off for the guy. The first time I saw him I thought he was pretty funny, but every time I've seen him since them his jokes have essentially been rehashes of what he's already done. I do agree that people have taken this too far though. Git-r-done? What the hell does that even mean?

Larry said Git-R-Done at the end of his radio show and it just stuck.

If a black person uses quotes from black comedians is it a black power salute? They are the target audience for that comedian. What about hispanic people quoting hispanic comedians? Asian comedians? The problem with attitudes involving racism in people like yourself is you are always looking for an excuse to call something racist when it really has nothing to do with racism, that or you're a hypocrite with double standards. People quote comedians in what's usually a lame attempt to get people to laugh at them and think they're funny, not because they are racists.

At least not until his 15 minutes are up.

Andrew Dice Clay delivered my new TV last week.

[epobirs]

Shock. Surprise.

A comic has an onstage persona that is entirely invented from his imagination and obbservations of people from entirely different backgrounds than his own.

Did you also believe the 34 year old Jerry Lewis was the same geek as he played in two movies that year?

Did you think Jim Varney went through life with his name being the only thing distinguishing him from the behavior of Ernest P. Worrell?

Did you think Andrew Silverstein is the same asshole as his Andrew Dice Clay character?

The list goes on and on. Whether you like the schtick or not is beside the point. The guy cooked up a character and it turned into a franchise to make him rich. Some characters are broader than others. Foxworthy and Engvall have onstage personas but they're more natural, thus it works to have Larry as the butt of many gags when they're all together for the finale. (I'm referring to the first tour movie. I don't know if they've kept that format for the sketch comedy series.)

Some acts can be funny once but just once. But those acts will have a certain audience that keeps coming back. Gallagher would have faded away by the mid-80s if it weren't for those who just keep coming back. (He's a big video game player. I used to run into him at the Woodland Hills Toys R Us occasionally. I was shocked the first time because he remebered when we'd met previously almost a decade earlier when I spent most of a year on the carny circuit and he was still doing street performances.) But he kept at it in a way that cause many who once enjoyed his act to cringe at mention of his name.

Of the 'Blue Collar' group I know Bill Engvall the best. I've seen him perform a few times. I don't care for the 'redneck mystique' schtick but you don't get much of that from him. He's from Texas but doesn't pretend he grew up in some weirdly rural setting. He's just a general purpose comic who reflects his history. When he moved to Southern California he didn't have trouble fitting in and the ample supply of pretentiousness made for good material.

The funny thing is that I came across his first CD almost by accident. One of the clubs, Columbia or BMG, I forget which, was having a massive blowout of excess inventory with a lot of stuff down to around a dollar. 'Here's Your Sign' was one of them. I got close to a hundred items from that sale, so it was months before I got around to listening to that disc. It wasn't edgy but I liked it. The same as I can still enjoy old Bill Cosby routines from the 60s.

Dice notwithstanding, those are all poor examples simply because the remainder all had public moments in and out of character. You could interview Jim Varney, or Paul Reubens, but Larry the Cable Guy hasn't, since his popularity occurred, even so much as acknowledged that he has heard of a person named Dan Whitney.

Am I surprised that he's a phony? I suppose I am somewhat surprised, at least in the sense that, ironically enough, the very people who come to see him and worship at his altar are the very people who he mocks in his persona. He is a stereotype of American simpletons, and those very people are his fanbase. I s'pose the same can be said of many Black comedians as well (Rudy Ray Moore comes to mind, even though I doubt he's a character any longer), but I digress.

I am surprised that he's so good at playing the character that evidence showing him out of character is so hard to come by. And, at that point, when someone is that far into "deep" roleplaying, are they truly phony? Again, I digress.

I'd say that Dice is *possibly* the only example that comes close to the roleplaying that Larry does, but even then I'm hesitant to accept that argument.

To this day there are a LOT of people who recognize PeeWee Herman but the name Paul Reubens means nothing to them. He largely avoided breaking cover until after his scandal. (Although contrary to the retroactive belief, PeeWee's Playhouse was laready canceled before the incident.) Reubens was a Groundling and the character evolved over time but most of the people right here in LA don't know who the Groundlings are or how many talents honed their skills there.

Likewise, a lot of people would never recognize Jim Varney in a lot of his roles as also being the man behind Ernest P. Worrel. He could easily evade recognition in public just by acting and dressing normally

And actually, I've seen plenty of prior references to Dan Whitney. He's been interviewed out of character. ( http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/7277749/larry_the_cable_guy_bared/ ) The Larry Wiki entry has plenty of data. He doesn't make a huge effort to hide from scrutiny but nor does he try to have Dan Whitney be famous rather than Larry.

I'm the kind of person who likes to use IMDB to find weird coincidences and such. I have a real fascination for animation and video game voice over performers and the odd places they turn up. Sometime it leaves me with questions I'd ask if I ever met the person. For instance, one of Christopher Judge's first credited roles was for an episode of MacGyver but under the name of Doug Judge. (Apparently his real first name since he's also used D. Christopher Judge.) Then seven years later he gets the role on Stargate SG-1 that has comsumed a major portion of his life since.

I imagine it's in some interview or article somewhere but I've never seen mentioned whether that one MacGyver episode had any bearing on getting called to audition for Stargate. Did Richard Dean Anderson, who was involved in getting the series launched, have anything to do with it or did he not even recognize him at first? It's makes for an interesting bit of trivia no matter how it works out.

But most people aren't that big on the trivia. Or in the case of Larry fans, are illiterate and cannot use IMDB.

Listen carefully, because it's not very much like me to get throw out a direct presonal attack or even use terribly offense language, but let me break from that to tell you to go fuck yourself.

You just called me a white supremacist, a racist. Besides being a poor ad hominem comment and you're lack of an ability to keep a somewhat civil dialogue, you made a totally flatout untruthful and defaming accusation to my character. Maybe you took offense to the hypocrite thing, but to be honest it's not nearly as bad. You may as well call me , liar a thief, and a murderer too. You've never even met me, you have no idea what I do in life, how I live, who I know, etc. You chose to judge my entire life by one comment, not even a logical judgment either. Meet me in person, read my other posts, hell get comments from other users on CAG and maybe then you'd be making an informed statement, but I guess the general character attack was easier huh? I could go on telling you how much of asshole you had to be to call me that and ask for an apology, but that seems like it'd be pretty useless cause then you may call me a rapist, so unlike yourself I'll try to have a civil and logical discussion and not try to defame your character be calling you something considered to be evil and hate-filled.

At no point in my post did even try to attempt to determine your race. Did I call you black? White? Asian? Hispanic? Native American? Anything? No, I didn't. Why? Becuase, I would've had the same response regardless of your race. All I did was ask you a couple questions (which you didn't answer, choosing instead to call me names), about whether you held other comedian catch phrases of other races to the same standard. You've classified racism as this simple thing, that the simple usage of an idiotic catch phrase can suddenly make you a racist, I simply wanted to know if you think that applies to everyone? Or is it simply the "rednecks" as you call them (btw ever hear of a concept called elitism/classism, cuz while I won't defame your character like you did me, it does seem like familar ground). Also I don't wanna break away from the trademark stupid, brain-dead, hick persona you obviously have me pegged for, but you used facilitate incorrectly.

Edit: Also for the record as well, Natty light taste like bitter cow piss, wouldn't be caught dead with the stuff.

[Skelah]

I gotta point out that alot of u guys are comparing actors in acting roles to larry the cable guy and its not realy the same.
When I see him in interviews for the cars movie when hes suposed to be talking casual doing any interviews hes got the fake country thing going on hes never seen in normal atire from what I understand.

A movie requires acting where as your life doesnt arnold doesnt walk around in leather and sunglasses all the time acting like a robot christian bale doesnt walk around dressed as batman.

No I will apologize if you took it that personally I really do apologize. I was just busting balls. I should have added emoticons to my posts.

And if SIU took that much offense I'm sorry but it doesn't have much emotion behind it. Because unlike DUO who stayed civilzed and made great points. Siu just resorted to cussing at someone.

I think the Blue Collar stuff is the funniest comedy show out there, but, then again, I'm from Nashville so it all makes sense to me. And contradictory to popular belief, you don't have to be a gun totin' trailer trash redneck to get/enjoy the stuff, it's all just about Southern lifestyle..and it's definitely the furthest thing from any fucking white supremecist ideas. And Git-R-Done just means "Do what you gotta do" (roughly translated from my supposed "light beer drinkin" accent) and it has nothing to do with happy hour or margaritaville. I don't see how a Southern joke amongst a group of guys is racist, ESPECIALLY when it does not refer to any race or culture..there is some pretty dumb logic going on from certain people in this thread.

At any rate, whether he himself is racist or not, the people that laugh at that certainly are.

[Brak]

Then why assume?

If he's doing what I think he's doing, in pulling a Tony Clifton, he's telling a joke in which he's yet to say "Just kidding."

If he's doing what I think he's doing, in pulling a Tony Clifton, he's telling a joke in which he's yet to say "Just kidding."

You are right. It really is possible it is all part of his character. That seems more than plausable. So is the latter however, but without any evidence for either side, it is pointless to assume either.

My last part which I added later still stands though.

[Tha Xecutioner]

At any rate, whether he himself is racist or not, the people that laugh at that certainly are.
