A Boobie Slim Jim
A lot of comedians I know needlessly shit on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Now, I’ll admit that watching Larry the Cable Guy can make one think that good ol’ boy comedy is just a brazenly dull, unoriginal, often racist and homophobic, waste of time. But there is a lesser-known talent on the Blue Collar bill, by the name Bill Engvall, who–while I wouldn’t say he’s necessarily white-collar–is definitely a much lighter shade of blue than his colleagues. Seriously, he’s fantastic. I didn’t know anything about him until I watched his Comedy Central special last week. Needless to say, it changed my life.
Bill Engvall delves deep into the issues people care about, saying the types of things most of us are afraid to say.
Now, I know full well most people will be skeptical about this, but they also would never take the time to sit down and watch an entire hour of Engvall (the risk of being caught in the act is much too scary for them). But I feel so passionate about this, that I have gone ahead and condensed Bill Envall’s special, “15 Degrees Off Cool” into a 45 second clip. It may be bite-sized, but it’s all there. I hope you enjoy it:
G’huck! What an idiot.
P.S. He makes MILLION$.
I made that video for the show last night. Noah felt left out, so he made this:
and also this:
No one sticks it to Limewire porn like Garfinkel! Those two videos seem to be really creep people out, but I find them charming. (I helped him re-edit the second video in a Dunkin’ Donuts.)
Also, this dude is awesome.

Engvall’s special should have been called “Bill Engvall ‘GOES THERE’,” because man, did he ever go there.

After reading this post, not only can i affirm that you are, in fact, dorky little white boys, but can also ascertain that you are ignorant and uneducated… I’m sure you thank god everyday for the internet… cause there’s no way people would even read or consider your opinions if they had to pay for them… so glad it’s free to trash people like y’all
