Ron White, I think he's actually funny.
Edited on Sat Jul-28-07 01:37 PM by Drunken Irishman
Am I the only one?

He does the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with all those other right-wing supporting, drape myself in the flag, bag on the poor uneducated types. Yet he doesn't seem like the typical hick comedian. I watched one of his Comedy Central specials and he actually was fairly funny, even making a joke about how outlandish it is to be homophobic in this day and age. So what are your thoughts on Ron White?

He definitely seems out of place with the likes of Larry the Cable Guy and Jeff Foxworthy.

1. I've always liked him

He's hilarious. And, dare I say, a bit too highbrow to be with the likes of Larry the Cable guy.

3. I agree.
Ron White is funny. Why he's performing with Larry the Cable Guy is beyond me.

2. I like what I have seen of Ron White.
I've not watched enough of his comedy to take a guess at his politics, however.

4. I think he's hilarious.
Sardonic, smartass Texan who does fairly intelligent humor. My kinda guy.

And his homophobia joke/anedcote is deadly funny.

5. I love him!
He reminds me of my best friend back in Texas.

Non-stop laughs for me. :rofl:

6. Mrs Giant Robot and I think he's funny too
I just refuse to watch Larry the Cable Guy and Jeff Foxworthy. Cannot do it. Bill Engvall isn't too bad. But Larry's the best of the bunch.

8. I find him monstrously unfunny. Jim Breuer unfunny. Colin Quinn unfunny.

9. I think he can be funny
And comparing him to Larry the Cable Guy is like comparing Shakespeare to the Three Stooges. But that's true of everybody, really.

10. He reminds me of
every mean, misogynistic creep I've ever met. I can't listen to or watch him.

11. Ron White
is great. Foxworthy and Larry, not so much.

I love his bit about his flying incident. "The guy sitting next to me is losing his mind. Apparently, he had a lot to live for."

12. Foxworthy isn't about the hate, either.
He and White are the funny ones in the bunch.
