Pleas dont. Pleae, not in the theater. This movie needs to do poorly at the box, in order to keep the studios from making more crap movies based on redneck stereotypes. This movie could never hope to be as unsucessful as “From Justin to Kelly”, but it needs to do poorly at the box office. Otherwise, we’ll be seeing “Here’s Your Sign” next summer. That’s not good for anyone. Please. ---

WTF? Please? I know I didn’t screw that up three times. Whatever. ---

I think there is a pretty damn good chance I won’t even watch this movie if it’s free on television. :rolleyes: ---

> [@Dr. Rieux](#): > > Does anybody still not get that Larry is being provocative and ironic? Are you fucking serious? That discreet level of his act had escaped me untill you made it clear. Problem is, the people that put “Get R Done” bumber stickers on their cars, have little or no concept of irony IMO. He’s a crude, foul-mouthed caricature of southern people. I laugh at most, if not all of his jokes. He’s funny. He still sucks as a role model to ignorant people who don’t know better. The government should even make him a candidate in every election. Those that choose him for anything, get their voting priveledges revoked for life. ---

So, with all the other things Southerners have to give up, we have to give up lauging at ourselves? Please, just stay out of Mississippi. We’re fine, thanks. Really.

I’m not saying I like him especially, but his greatest audience is the self-identified southerner/redneck. It’s like the joy I take in telling “what a GUY” stories about men, like when I almost tried to leave a medical clinic when I found out my finger finally had stopped bleeding, meaning (to me) that I didn’t really need stitches. Female nurse: What were you going to do? Me: Wrap it with electrical tape. FN: :smack: ---

The only one of the four “Redneck” comedians I like is the alcoholic one. (“Tater Salad”) All the others suck ass. Larry sucks the most ass of them all. Even though Tater’s my favorite; I still wouldn’t go to see even HIM in a movie if they gave him one. BTW, does anybody know that guys real name? (Tater, I mean) ---

> [@dnooman](#): > > Pleas dont. Pleae, not in the theater. This movie needs to do poorly at the box, in order to keep the studios from making more crap movies based on redneck stereotypes. Nothing to worry about here. The cast could break into my house and try to perform it live in my living room, and all you’d find in the morning is some overturned soil in my backyard. ---

I’ve hated Larry the Cable Guy for 12 years or more. It wasn’t funny then, still not funny. Newsflash to America: it can be ironic and self-deprecating and still **SUCK MAD COW TEATS**. ---
