Blog #25: Larry the Cable Guy

Thanks to Esme, I had a chance to go and see the Blue Collar Comedy that came to Houston today.  Here are some of my takeaway:

• There were TONS of rednecks there (duh, obviously), and Esme and I were the only ethnics sitting in our section...which had about a thousand people or so.
• Bill Engvall and Jeff Foxworthy are pretty hilarious.
• Larry the Cable Guy..not so much.

Larry the Cable Guy
I don't know what his appeal is...I really don't.  His voice is really high pitched, and there were a few jokes that I giggled at, but at the end of the night, I was laughing only when Bill or Jeff were performing.  All of Larry's jokes were fairly unbelievable to me.  For the most part, many comedians tend to take some of the truths in their lives and stretch it a bit for comedy...but this, this Larry guy, was just frontin.

I guess if you like WWE, you will like Larry the Cable Guy - everything is pretty made up. But then again, who knows, he could actually be telling the damn truth.

In 2009, Forbes listed Larry the Cable Guy to making approximately $13 MILLION and that was only last year.  When he was really big in 2005, he was raking in a lot more dough.  Larry doesn't live in a trailer, he lives in a huge ass house and probably have multiple assistants helping him run his business of trying to look like the average Joe.
