If you watch Comedy Central for any length of time (especially late at night), one thing you may be struck by is the raunchiness and shock-value angle of many (if not most) of the stand-up routines. It almost seems as if the intent isn't to make you laugh in the traditional manner (story:punchline) so much as to shock you into uncomfortable chuckles. Fortunately, this "Blue Collar" gang doesn't take that filthy approach.
Instead, the four-pronged crew gets laughs in a much more family-friendly fashion that tames down the filth and amps up the self-effacing efforts. Though not every bit may be appropriate for the ears of your young kiddies, you won't have to worry about squirming in your seat when watching with all but the most uppity of viewers.
The comedians (in order of appearance) include:
Ron White: Besides the "alcoholic" persona, White is the most traditional of the bunch, and also probably the weakest, although still good for some belly laughs.
Larry the Cable Guy: Everyone knows a country bumpkin persona like Larry, and that's his appeal. This film was his "coming out" party that really launched him to stardom.
Bill Engvall: The "everyman" who doesn't so much tell jokes as recite funny life circumstances.
Jeff Foxworthy: The established star who really drew in the initial throngs and got the "Blue Collar" brand going strong.
Though the humor of that foursome may not be the most sophisticated, as Larry often says: "I don't care who you are...that's funny right there." Dozens of belly laughs are almost guaranteed, and for fans of this type of humor, you will be picking yourself up off the floor time and time again.
