I honestly had no idea that Larry the Cable Guy was just a persona.

Falsely portraying an ultra-redneck to capitalize on the love rednecks have for other rednecks...

In a weird way, I sort of respect him for that.

pretending to be a redneck is funnier than actually being a redneck.

There's no problem with playing a character on stage (Emo, Pee Wee, Bobcat, Carlos Mencia), but it's . . . it's almost like he's doing a parody of Southern people, and Southern people are too stupid to realize they've been had and are celebrating his Southerness...

It's like if someone went on stage to tell a whole bunch of racist jokes to do satire on racists and show how stupid they are and all the racists end up loving him.

Isn't there a guy out there called "The Amazing Racist"?

Youve got to remember that hes from Nebraska.

Faking being from Georgia vs. really being from Nebraska.

Thats a tough fucking choice Tom.

Arg. I never could fucking stand Larry the Cable Guy, or the rest of his crew. People who say Git R Done need to be executed.

Awesome footage. I'd heard that was the case, but that just caps it.

From what I've heard, that's a contributing reason to Chappelle's wig-out.

I dunno, do you have Goooooooooooooooooooooogle?

Seriously, I guessed "yes" and he got here because he was a Russian Jew (they always had easier asylum applications) and I was close: he's Jewish from Soviet Ukraine. They even made a point about this trend in the underrated movie, Lord of War.
