Poll question: Which "Blue Collar Comedy" star do you find the most irritating?
Edited on Thu Jul-17-08 12:04 PM by Bicoastal
Maybe it's a regional thing...

16. He lost fifty pounds
on Nutrisystems, and is anything but stupid. He is not, however, my comedic cup of tea.

3. It's quite the horse race, but I'm gonna have to go with
Larry the Annoying guy. Still, it's pretty clever to build a whole career on being fat, dirty and stupid. Most of us have to work for a living.

4. Larry
Ron White has nearly made me pee myself. He's definitely the funniest of the bunch.

24. I actually enjoy listening to Ron White
He's funny.

Foxworthy's just annoying with his obligatory Hillary jokes, and the Cable Guy? When I saw his commercial with Dan Marino, I immediately turned to DH and said, "So, how much did they have to pay Marino to even be in the same vicinity with that guy?" Mr. Cable Guy is fairly intolerant to anyone who's not white and Republican, judging by the crap that's played on Comedy Central he's featured in.

6. I have no idea who any of them are.
Clearly I am a latte sipping elitist sitting in an ivory tower.

7. Larry
although he is funny in stand up

I am so annoyed with him for his "health inspector" movie that I can't get past it.

12. Voted for the Cable Guy
even though it's all an act... it's still an annoying act designed to entertain morans.

Foxworthy and Engvall? I guess I'm just indifferent to them.

Ron White doesn't belong in that group. He may be southern, but he doesn't play to the same crowd as the rest of them.

26. Yeah, it's all an act. Even his accent is fake.
Found this video on Youtube a while back, and it shows "Larry" doing standup back before he invented that character. He looks like any other average guy from flyover country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VROn7ZvVoW8

15. Me.
He sucks all the funny out of the room, as well as the greater metropolitan area.

He's a latter day Jim Breuer-Colin Quinn as far as I'm concerned.

19. Man, that's just harsh
Edited on Thu Jul-17-08 12:38 PM by MrCoffee
Ron White has style (whether or not his style appeals to you is a different matter). Maybe it's because I grew up in Texas, I think he's fantastic.

Colin Quinn? :rofl: That's mean, man.

17. Larry.
Engvall and Foxworthy poke fun at ignorance, while Larry celebrates it. 'Tater Salad is in a whole other class, and I don't know why he sticks with the other three.

21. Complete the task!
48. Larry the Cable Guy

Charges:The absolute nadir of the American South’s baffling cultural hegemony. A middle-class Nebraskan, raised in Palm Beach, whose parents sent him to private school, masquerading as an Appalachian mutant and making millions off the nine-toed cyclopes in his audience by calling his material "blue collar," when it’s really just a celebration of proud ignorance. The latest in a long line of "entertainers" propagating the lie that real talent is elitist. The South has risen again—just long enough to grab the rest of the nation by the legs and pull it back down to its Lovecraftian depths. Isn’t even "bad funny." Makes Jeff Foxworthy look like Chris Rock.

Exhibit A: Ostensibly humorous catchphrase translates into "complete the task."

Sentence: Sent back in time for the sole purpose of having Mark Twain’s cigars extinguished on his face.

25. I saw Ron White live at a local casino. Funniest. Drunk. Ever.
I've seen Bill Engcvall live too, and he was funny. His new TV show annoys me though. Larry is a redneck stereotype, and Jeff should just stick with the "5th grader" show because his schtick got old a long time ago.

31. I find Ron White So-o funny
Edited on Thu Jul-17-08 02:10 PM by truedelphi
Not sure that he has any new material though - it seems like whenever he comes up on Comedy Channel, I have seen the show before.

34. Cannot turn off the tv fast enough when they are on
hate them, really. tho the guy who plays a drunk did a good turn on Reno 9-11 - I almost turned it off when I saw it was him, but gave him the benefit of the doubt. I said all of them, but I guess Larry and Jeff are THE absolute worst. Or Larry. But cannot stand to watch them as Blue Collar tour.
