Is it even possible to have "Southern" comedy separate from chud culture war shit? Or would literally every joke just be about "woke" and "DEI"?

I can't help pointing out that Jeff Foxxworthy was a child of an IBM exec. Him claiming "blue collar" is so fucking disengenuous.

Larry the Cable Guy is also a persona. His real name is Daniel Lawrence Whitney and he majored in drama and speech in college.

Used to be able to choke slam your kid in the middle of Walmart. Can’t anymore because of woke. Here’s your sign/GITERDUN!!!

You might be a redneck if you see a YouTube short of cops beating up a child and post “Based 😂” in the comments.

This looks like a parallel universe where Top Gear was an American thing

Didn't they try to make an American version? We even got one here in Australia. It lasted one season.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

On Youtube a couple years back there was a Southern comedy series. It was by all accounts rather progressive and chill. The dudes in this pic all kinda look the same to me, but I think the dude on the far right (ironic, I know) is actually a pretty solid bloke. Hell, his stand-up isn't too bad either.

Yeah he's the guy tat did a bit about getting arrested for drunk in public after getting thrown out of a bar, "I didn't want to be drunk in public I wanted to be drunk in a bar, they threw me into public"

iirc "tater salad " is from the same cop story, and that's the only clip I've seen

[–] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was gonna say, Ron White (cracker) is actually really funny

[–] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

the only good one of the bunch I think

[–] Futterbinger@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

It's these same four guys but they execute a member of a local teachers union after every joke in whatever town their touring in.

Trillbillty Workers Party is close.

Jeff Foxworthy in the 1600's: Now if you think, well you might be!

[–] cryptymythy@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

I stumbled across the "dry bar" channel on youtube so I think it'd look like that, lot's of rambling incoherent jokes about kids with pink hair and cop comedians

[–] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

frothingfash DAE woke DEI!?

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago
