Title: Jeff Foxworthy more like Jeff Suck
Post by: NotRimmer on June 26, 2004, 08:46:36 PM
So here I am, sitting at home on a Saturday night wallowing in my own crapulence and participating in video game trivia. I like to leave the TV on because I enjoy the background noise it provides, and it comes with the added benefit of drowning out, albeit barely, the repetitive music coming from the living room, where Joshums is playing FFVII. I flip through the channels for a moment, looking for anything that might provide suitable viewing in between questions, and finally decide on Comedy Central. Perhaps not the best choice, but there's at least SOME level of assurance that it won't suck horribly, something I can't say for any other channel's weekend line-up. (Unless Chappelle's Show comes on, that is -- thankfully, it didn't). Jeff Foxworthy is yapping away and I'm only half-paying attention until he gets into this little spiel about women being different from men. YOU DON'T SAY! I usually enjoy these little routines comedians fall back on because, hey, being a man, I can relate somewhat to what's being said. Unfortunately, Jeff Foxworthy ruins what is quite possibly the least-easy-to-ruin fallback comedians have.
I'll give him credit for not asking if you've ever noticed how men always leave the toilet seat up -- that's it, that's the joke -- but he does come up with some pretty ridiculous crap. You'll have to forgive me for paraphrasing here...
Men and women can say the same thing to each other and come away with entirely different interpretations
Okay, sure, men and women think differently. That's not too bad.
Men drive like THIS, while women drive like THIS
You'll just have to imagine him making hilariously polar gestures for each sex here.
Men have names like Alex, while women have names like Sarah!
Okay, this is pretty damn lame.
Did you ever notice that, while men have penises, women have vaginas?!
GASP! This is news to me!
Please, Jeff Foxworthy, just die. You aren't funny. At all.

Oh my! eheh, hrm, heh, hmm....@_@....
I'm curious as to whether he's tried some of his routines at the dinner table or whatever other family gatherings you might've attended with him, maybe to bounce ideas off you. I imagine comedians come up with lots of material and only go with what's met with the approval of their friends/family.
This, of course, raises the question, what kind of stuff does he have written on crumpled up sheets of paper in his rubbish bin?

He's really funny in person, not to mention incredibly hard working and extremely generous. He doesn't try material on us or anything- rather he gets material from his time with his family. That's why I think he's so popular, because since he gets his material from real life people can connect to it. I really don't care if you don't like him- you have every right to your personal opinion- but it's not like he doesn't try.

Jeff Foxworthy is hilarious. It is redneck weekend on Comedy Central and the Blue Collar Comedy tour is god. Foxworthy is pretty skilled as a comic- he makes me laugh pretty consitently and he is very good at making his stories universal. I don't particularly remember any of the jokes you're refering to, but maybe it was his early work or something...

You know I think those "jokes" would be pretty funny if told by a comedian whose gimmick is that he sucks and tells bad jokes. Really lame jokes are hilarious if the person telling them knows they're lame and the audience is in on it.

I think think that I could do better stand up than him. Just not on TV 'cause I'm a bit foul mouthed...

Okay, okay, stating your opinion in a hostile manner is one thing, but could we keep this out of the bashing territory? The man is the hardest working person I've ever met and I think it's really hypocritical of you guys to be flaming someone you know absolutely nothing about. I'm not going to try to tell you he IS a good comedian- I think he's hilarious, but that's me- but let's try not to act childish, eh? You're not helping your case any.

I for one don't care for Foxworthys stand up. But its just not my style, and I wouldn't be demeaning about stating my preferences. I like a lot of comedians, but usually they fall into the sarcastic side. Mean even. Because thats what i'm like. So I agree with Mouse here-theres no reason to break this guys balls. Its not our type of humor, but theres no need to say he is a complete buffoon. Comedians attract fans who think like them. Or comedians who say what we really would like to, but can't. Its a very polarized industry. So, in defense of Foxworthy(boy, I never thought i'd say that), as a comedian, you have a select audience, and in that regard, he's found his, and managed quite well.

By reading your posts, I'm starting to think he really is your uncle.

Maybe this isn't the best thread to announce this, but Jeff Foxworthy has a new show on the WB called Clue Collar TV. It premiers July 29th on the WB at 8 PM eastern.

Maybe you were watching some of Jeff Foxworthy's older stuff. His newer stuff doesnt make him look so primative.

THAT is something to look forward to.....

Sarcasm aside, no- it's a sketch comedy show that my uncle has been working very hard on writing for a very long time.

Oh geez. I missed some recent special he had on Comedy Central, but I remembered another lame joke he came up with from one of the old ones, saying something to the effect of women being like diesel engines, while MEN are like BOTTLE ROCKETS! Hi-larious!
I know I'm going to watch at least the first episode out of morbid curiosity. I'll probably then end up having sex with my mother and tearing my eyes out.

Don't both, you won't like it. You obviously don't like his style of humor.

As much as I'm not into Jeff Foxworthy, his new film looks pretty great. I'd pay $9 to see it!

He was carefully planning his post.
As for Foxworthy hell I'll post my thoughts. I used to think he was funny. Then I heard his Redneck joke about your porch falling and killing more than three dogs. At the time I had upwards of five dogs living under my porch. He quit being funny then...and started making me sad.

I hope you killed a few of your dogs to be sure you didn't fit into the redneck category. That's the beauty of parking your pickup on the lawn, they don't know to run until it's too late.

Yes but it's dangerous driving your truck in the lawn what with all those beer cans laying around that poke holes in your "tars".
I'm down to one dog now by the way. A small one. Who poops a lot.
