Ok, so who remembers the Blue Collar 'Comedy' Tour? You remember, it had that douche bag Larry the Cable Guy, the notoriously unfunny Jeff Foxworthy, the occasionally mildly amusing fat guy with the gin, and last-but-possibly-least-funny, Bill Engvall. For some reason, TBS (home to actual funny shows, The Office and Family Guy) gave Engvall a sitcom. Here are my top five reasons why this is a damned awful idea:
1.
Bill Engvall is not funny. He's just not. Sit through one of his stand up routines, I dare you.
2. imdb.com suggests that if you enjoy this show, you may also like the CW's Everybody Hates Chris. There is a good fucking reason everyone hates Chris. He's one of those douche bags who thinks he is hilarious, when he is in fact not.
3. On IMdb's Message board for this show, the only supporters names that I've seen so far are names like xkewleox and wellarticulatedmonkey. Get it? That's like, a hip new way to spell "Coolio," a famous rapper, which is cool and clever. Likewise, wellarticulatedmonkey is a clever little joke, because human beings are basically nothing more than well articulated monkeys. Except, we're fucking human beings, not goddamned monkeys.
4.
Need I say more? Yes. This classic prankster approach to humor is about as effective as UN sanctions in North Korea, a Republican president, or (insert political jibe here). What I'm trying to say is, it didn't even provoke a giggle.
5. At some point, Bill's good pals, Larry the Shitty Cable Guy and Jeff NotfuckingfunnyFoxworthy will probably contribute some jokes to the show. If ever there was a better reason for a show to tank, my brain would not be able to compute it.
