This Larry the Cable guy puff piece is sickening

[Bombtrack]

Sheltered international reporter jackoffs like Bob Simon shouldn't try to act savvy about comedy when they clearly aren't.

"Hard working" ? Are you kidding? Not for a comedian. Larry is the definition of a hack and you might want to point out the fact that he doesn't have the same accent as "Larry the Cable Guy" in real life.

One Private School educated dumbass who thinks he's smart because of it helping out another one.

1. Two what are you referring?

I'm sorry, but there is no link, and your message and subject line are a bit cryptic.

[Bombtrack]

2. Sorry, 60 Minutes

[NEDem]

3. What's worse is that 'Larry' is from and lives in Nebraska

He's a big embarrassment to the state. A comedian who made it big using racist humor doesn't make a state look good.

12. what I don't get about that...

I know quite a few Nebraskans, and they don't talk with that ridiculous drawl. The guy sounds like he was born and raised in the Ozark mountains yet he's from...Nebraska. What a total fake this jerk is.

4. Not ONE joke was funny...perhaps he plays to that 21% Eternal Repig Crowd

He is laughing all the way to the bank though. I mean, Jeff Foxworthy is funnier than he is...and he's not even that funny.

5. When that story came on, I switched the channel

Can't stand his humor.

6. So you think Bob Simon didn't get 'er done?

:tv:

7. Yeah, & His "Excuse" For Gay-Hating, Child-Hating, Handicapped-Hating BS:

"It's a joke."

Fuck you larry. You're the joke you fuck.

11. Give 60 Minutes Some Feedback:

8. Did you see that t-shirt he was wearing?

Charlie Daniels.

That was enough for me. I turned the channel.

9. He's an OUT THERE racist. The other 3 dudes COVER themselves better n/t

10. If ya really want to see someone rip on Larry

Check out David Cross's open letter to him ( http://www.bobanddavid.com/david.asp?artId=183 ). He and Larry got into a rather nasty yelling match in the public arena. There is no love lost between them.

13. Thanks Az. David Doesn't Screw Around - That's For Sure!

:bounce: :woohoo:

[peekaloo]

15. Thank you Az and thank you David Cross.

That made me fart.

14. this should make you feel a little better..

An open letter to Larry The Cable Guy:

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.

16. Whew!

I am so glad I am not alone in my opinion of that racist, etc piece of crap. (Never heard of him before tonight.)

But what does it say about all of those people that go to see him? Stadiums full of fick sucks!

Mind blowing.

[Critters2]

17. My sister loves this guy. Honestly.

Her Amazon.com wish list is just DVD after DVD of this guy's crap. Apparently she's forgotten how to read. I called and asked her what else she'd like for Christmas. She told me to get something by "Larry", and I told her I wouldn't give money to that racist, homophobic POS.

I'm getting her a couple music cd's. But first I had to listen to her rant about what an elitist I am. Because I don't like "Larry the Cable Guy". Okay.

[GreenZoneLT]

18. He's all right in very small doses

It is a pretty good voice he does; I'm from the rural South and I thought it was legit (apparently, he grew up more in Missouri than Nebraska, and lived in South Florida in high school, so he had some exposure to people who talk something like that). The "Lord, I apologize" bit is a good call-back. But he gets old, fast.

19. I have yet to laugh at anything out of Larry the Cable Guy's mouth

In fact the only time I laughed at Carlos Mencia (equally un-funny) is when he made a joke about Larry the Cable Guy.
