1. he's from the same part of the country as my mom's family...
we laugh about "tater salad" all the time.

he's just like my cousin Jerry...except Jerry really does live on the farm.
and really does drink. :P

2. He's pretty damn funny.
I went into his special expecting not to like it, but he surprised me and I liked it a lot.

3. He's the only one with talent
Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and Jeff Foxworthy are all crap.

8. I don't know why he associates with them...bad move by his agent
He shouldn't be positioned with that bunch of unfunny fucks. Ron White can actually tell a joke.

9. The others tell jokes
That are only funny if you have the mind of a drunk 12-year-old.

17. Not sure it is a bad move. I think that blue collar comedy tour
made a lot of money.

He is the only one I laugh at out of the whole group. I can't stand Larry "The Cable Guy"! Blah!

4. He's great
He put his son on a plane to see his mother. He was asked if someone was going to meet the child at the destination. Ron White replied "No, I thought I'd just pin $20 to his shirt and wish him the best of luck."

And his dog Sluggo? :rofl:

5. I find his radioactive teeth to be unnerving
Really undermines his whole country-fried personna... reminds me of the Friends episode where Ross leaves the teeth whitening stuff on too long and they glow like a blacklight poster.

6. Given the number of fights he's been in
I think they're false teeth...

7. Speaking Rednecks, did you know Comedy Central is roasting fake redneck Larry the cable guy?
really, yes.

Roasts should be done away with.

Larry the cable guy. Yup.

10. It's sick
Bob Saggat (sp?) was funny, but Larry the Fable Guy?

11. The Bob Sagat roast was hilarious.
I suspected it would be after seeing him in the movie The Aristocrats. :)

13. I was just listening to him the other day. I like him more and more every time I hear him.
Freakin' hilarious!

And as others have said above, the only one out of the redneck group that's actually a) funny, and b) intelligent.

Except Bill Engval - he's also funny and smart. I don't know if he's a redneck comedian, though.

15. I don't think he's really "red-neck"
He strikes me as capturing strip mall culture or the middle class/NASCAR cross over crowd. Maybe they are the same thing.

19. He's the only one from the Blue Collar tour that's worth a damn.

I want to kick Bill Engvall in the nuts, and Larry the Cable Guy should be strangled with actual television cable. Jeff Foxworthy I think is hit or miss.
