I hate comedians with catchphrases...
I was just watching the Blue Collar Comedy Tour on Comedy Central. I want to kill Jeff Foxworthy so bad. "... You might be a redneck" WAS NEVER F'ing funny!!!!!!!! Maybe one or two of the millions of redneck jokes he's told made me laugh. It's like these people think of witty catchphrases and they just hang on to them as long as they can.
I used to like Bill Engvall too but he does that "Here's your sign" thing still!!! And this other guy who was there kept saying "I don't care who you are, that's funny..." which is a lame ass catchphrase to begin with. If it's something that just happens to catch on after you say it once or twice, fine. But don't intentionally try to force a catchphrase on people! Oh yeah, I also saw this comedian on BET one time. His name was "Hamburger" and after every joke he would just say "Haaamburger!". GOD DAMMIT ANYWAY. |

He was better than Norm. And I love Norm. He told the same exact jokes every week though. They even fired him for it!

Yea, I have to throw my vote up there for Norm as the worst weekend update guy *shudder*
The Blue Collar Comedy Tour thing kinda pissed me off too. It's like they got through their whole set without relying on the catch phrase thing, but then they all came out at the end and crammed as many catch phrases down our throats as they could The only one I really laughed at was.. "If you have a complete set of salad bowls and they all say Cool Whip across the side, you might be a redneck." My Step-Dad tends to save Cool Whip "bowls" |

Here's some advice: If you don't like catchphrases, do some research on how to smarten up the rest of society. People seem to have the memories of chimps: They need something loud, annoying, and fast to actually have it stick in their heads long enough to make an impression.
Why else would people STILL be parrotting "Is that your final answer?" Or even as far back as Urkel? It's annoying, but it's a part of the commercial sale of comedians. As far as Jeff Foxworthy...Well, people like to laugh at a segment of the population that isn't them. Actually, my girlfriend's family likes Foxworthy, and they ARE rednecks, so there goes that theory... Actually, there are certain groups that it's still okay to poke fun at...White people primarily. As Redneck and "white trash" are pretty much synonymous in most people's minds, it's okay to pick on them. So since people are being told that these are the only acceptable groups we can really laugh at, people tend to laugh at them all the more (even if they're part of that group), whether or not the jokes are actually all that funny... |
