1. me neither

[hamsterjill]

2. I was...

But no more.

3. One joke comic

He had a cute schtick, he wouldn't be the first one joke comic out there. Can anyone say "take my wife, please". But basically that's what he was.

[hughee99]

21. They can't all be George Carlin.

His act is all about a specific culture (rednecks), just like George Lopez (Latino), Jackie Mason (Jewish), Eddie Griffin (Black), Yakov Smirnoff (Soviets) and Ant (Gay).

I guess being a one joke pony is preferable to someone who can, with ease, be unfunny discussing any topic (Dane Cook, Janeane Garofalo, and Joan Rivers).

[zipplewrath]

23. Yup

I'd probably say he was even more of a one joke than some that you listed. They had/have the basic "character" you describe. But Foxworthy, with out his signature line, would still be working the club circuit. He built an act around it.

Carlin, Skelton, Cosby, Pryor, these guys had a bit more depth and breadth. But they don't come along everyday.

[hughee99]

25. That's why they stand out so much from the others.

The can add both depth and breadth to the routine and (most importantly) maintain the quality. I don't necessarily mind watching a comedian who focuses on one specific thing, I'm just not usually excited about seeing their show the next time around, since it's just going to be new jokes with the same old theme.

[zipplewrath]

26. you betcha

Carlin was less comedian than he was commentator. Closer to Art Buchwald than Buster Keaton. If you really watch Pyror closely, you can almost feel bad laughing. The guy was funny as hell, but in some sense he wasn't "joking".

[MrScorpio]

4. Ron White is 100 times funnier anyway. nt

[izquierdista]

17. 100 times zero is still zero.

Two things you won't find at a Blue Collar Comedy Tour performance -- jokes and teeth.

[villager]

5. Think of all the 5th graders that are clearly smarter than Foxworthy!

...as this endorsement shows!

[Initech]

6. So far all 3 candidates have a really credible group of C and D list endorsements.

Santorum has Dave Mustaine and the Duggars, Gingrich has fundie freakwad Chuck Norris, and now Rmoney has Mr. "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader". Keep 'em coming.

[DefenseLawyer]

7. If your mother doesn't remove the Marlboro from her lips

before telling the state trooper to kiss her ass... you might be a redneck. This hack has 10,000 variations of the same joke and that's the only one that makes me laugh.

[latebloomer]

10. how about

"if you use a toilet brush as a backscratcher". . .

[Archae]

13. I've done that...

Well, it was still dry...

[Archae]

8. And if Sasha Cohen endorsed Ron Paul...

It would be JUST FINE.

Cohen is just not funny, at least to me.
He's an asshole comedian, that is, he acts like an absolute asshole and says "I'm funny! Laugh!"

Foxworthy gives me a good laugh, especially when he's on stage with the rest of the Blue Collar guys.
Yes, including Larry the Cable Guy.

[RZM]

9. When he first got famous, I thought Foxworthy was really annoying

And not funny. But I will admit that over the years, I've noticed that his act is more than just 'you might be a redneck.'

He's not one of the greats, but he's ok. Neither the worst nor the best. He's average.

[MineralMan]

11. If you endorse Santorum...

You know the rest.

[Enrique]

12. ouch

“We don’t elect presidents on personality." Good point, but jeez, Mitt is standing right next to you.

[Go Vols]

14. I liked Foxworthy ...

when he first came around.But it seemed after awhile he was laughing at Southerners as opposed to laughing with us.

[JHB]

19. Laughed all the way to the bank...

See #18 below.

[Lex]

15. Maybe Romney can get the coveted Larry the Cable Guy endorsement too.

[DefenseLawyer]

24. That guy's actually from Nebraska

His accent is as fake as Romney's laugh and his love of grits. Sounds like a perfect match.

[Dawson Leery]

16. And the Democrats have the A-team, as usual.

Imagine had McCain won in 2008. Who would perform at his inauguration? Gretchen Wilson, Hank Jr., Kid Rock, John Rich, Reba, Charlie Daniels etc, and many other "has beens" and "never have beens".

[JHB]

18. Well, he allegedly has a net worth half about half of Mitt's...

...so they're two peas in a pod. Pod people, so to speak.

What's good for Mitt is good for Jeff.

[MissMarple]

20. I've always liked Ron White better.

If I had to guess, I'd say he would make acerbic comments about politicians in general.

[Life Long Dem]

22. "You Might Be A Romney"

If you listen to Jeff Foxworthy.

[MrSlayer]

27. He's a one trick pony whose only trick sucks.

Nothing funny about this guy at all, ever.

[Kyad06]

28. Right wing turd comedian

Foxworthy has always been a right wing putz He called Hillary Clinton "the Devil" on one of those blue collar tours
