Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: While in the Spencer's Gifts store, Bill Engvall remarks, "This is the best store on the planet." To which Ron White replies, "It is." However, his lips do not move while saying that.

Quotes:

Jeff: I do have a few new redneck words for you. First one - "mayonnaise." "Mayonnaise a lot of people here this evening." It's kind of a gift. They come to me in my sleep. I write them down. Brand new one: "aorta." "Aorta cut that grass down by the ballfield so the kids don't get hurt." Is this not the stupidest thing you've ever heard in your life? "Initiate." "My wife ate two hamburgers, initiate
[an' then she ate]
Jeff: a bag of potato chips." And last but not least: "widjadidja." "You didn't bring your truck widjadidja?"

Hollywood, Please Pay Attention!

The Blue Collar Comedy Tour came out of nowhere and has blown the comedy world wide open. Between New York City and Los Angeles, there lies America. Maybe the real America, I was born and raised in New Jersey where I still live. It was there that I grew up watching Hee Haw and Mama's Family with great affection. Most Americans live in a Blue Collar World. I think I got tired of shows like Seinfeld, Mad About You, Will and Grace, etc. who never worried about the basic problems that most of us face. Okay, most of us live cutting coupons and scrape by somehow. Hollywood and New York don't realize how expensive it is. Most of us don't have the money to spend on a Broadway show because we don't make six figures. Hollywood is clueless as to understanding American humor. I say that I have a white collar mind but a blue collar job and it's true. I have advanced college degrees. I don't care what your background is neither because even though the men are white, they appeal to the masses and it shows when you see them entertaining crowds from the urban center to city arenas. Larry the Cable Guy still lives in his hometown in Nebraska. Jeff has been under-appreciated by mainstream audiences. See, who's laughing now? Ron White is quite hysterical. Then there is one another guy who I can't recall right now. It's still funny to see David Alan Grier and Heidi Klum in guest roles. People see them because they are not going to be preached at but entertained and leave feeling better about themselves. That's what good comedy it about. Comedy Central is wise repeating these movies. 60 Minutes did a special on Larry the Cable Guy and the Blue Collar Tour. The journal, Peter Simon, seemed puzzled by the appeal. Okay, it's not Seinfeld, thank God. I wouldn't mind these guys coming over to my house for dinner. They're welcome anytime. These guys are not politically correct or savvy and that's fine with me. Who wants politically correctness anyway? It can ruin a perfectly good evening.
