I'm no big fan of redneck humor, but this is funny.
And tastefully done. So much redneck humor resorts to such nastiness.
Thanks, and YES, I laughed.

Reading the previous posts, I thought I wouldn't make it. I had no idea what to expect. Well, I watched all but the final minute and it didn't make me laugh. The audience wasn't laughing much, either. I don't really know what to make of what I just saw. Just hope Svetlana doesn't see this thread. Neutral

Say "appalachian" or "ozark" or "southern white" or something like that. Please.

Okay. I laughed.

Nary a smile nor a chuckle? Nothing?

Since laughing is contagious, perhaps your last humor immunization shot was a double dose.

Great, thank you. I am now more of an eejit to my Korean family.


At my father-in-law's house with a million other family members and I am sitting in the corner with the laptop watching this with a headset on. Nobody hears this, but they sure as sheet see me crying in laughter and wiping snot from me nose.

I laughed so hard I cried and sweatededed.

!shoosh,

Simple Ryst

I was laughing before the second guy was sitting. It's the host's voice and face. He reminds me too much of one of my funniest friends. But man, that laugh... I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.

I once saw a comedian and he pulled up my next door neighbor on stage. The comedian asked him what he did for a living, fishing for material like the guy in the video did. The neighbor answers, "I pump shit". The comedian was speechless...Says, "What?", trying to think of a comeback. "I pump shit. Here's my business card." "Oh my god! He pumps shit!". My neighbor owns this big company that installs and empties sceptic tanks. For the whole show, the comedian would say, "Well, at least I don't pump shit for a living." Laughing

Whatever. Be a snob if you want, but this sort of comedy is increasingly popular in North America, and big business. Case in point, Larry the Cable Guy earned 19 million dollars last year.

PS. Tom Cruise has been laughed that for having made a fool of himself on Oprah's couch, but he's the one who's having the last laugh.

Why would I have to narrow it down? I'm part redneck myself.
