DVD Ron White - They Call Me Tater Salad
The Texas comic and co-star of Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie ponders the absurdity of fashionable eyewear ("Why do sunglasses cost more than a 25-inch TV?") and much else in the live performance Ron White: They Call Me Tater Salad. Looking as if he just woke up from a nap (or is on his third beer), White contemplates eros with the inarguable "You see one woman nekkid... you want to see them all nekkid." A veteran of hurricane country, he contemplates those idiots who insist they're strong enough to sit out big storms: "If you're hit by a Volvo, it doesn't matter how many sit-ups you did that morning." On wedding anniversaries: "Diamonds--that'll shut her up." Some of White's material is unnecessarily crude for such a clever guy, but the best stuff, including a funny monologue about his half-mad, deer-hunting cousin, makes up for it. --Tom Keogh
Review(s): DVD Ron White - They Call Me Tater Salad
Ron White - Always funny
Ron White is wonderful on this. His delivery style is so funny and there is an honesty about him that makes the jokes that much more real to the listener. It feels like he takes most of his believable material from his life and then gives it just the right amount of embellishment. He is usually unpredictable and hysterical because you don't expect what he says, but before he says it, you do SUSPECT him! Easy to watch over and over and over because he gets such pleasure out of what he is doing that he makes you comfortable watching him. He doesn't need to be disgusting, crude, or swear every other word like some do to be funny. You'll love this.
Keep up with new material, Ron!
Ron White is obviously very talented and entertaining. I love his delivery (ciggy in one hand, whiskey in the other) but the thing that really bothers me is his redundancy. I swear, he must have used the same jokes for the past 15 years. Ron, you're very talented, but please come up with new material. I just saw his new movie (You Can't Fix Stupid) and I was delightfully surprised with his new material. Keep it up, Ron! I've seen both Blue Collar movies, both of his solo movies, and the Redneck Comedy Roundup. He hardly changed a word of his act in the majority of the previously mentioned movies. Please keep the new stuff coming! I love you Ron, but the same 10 jokes really start to grind on you after awhile.
Taters a-plenty
Bad boy Ron White does it again. His use of emphasis on certain words is brilliant and his nonchalant attitude (smoking and drinking whisky) and his stories, especially the title story, just blow me away. Only drawback to this show is the rather large overlap with his appearance on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour dvd's. However, quality is good and the show is great. Despite the overlap definitely worth my bucks.

Redneck comedian Larry the Cable Guy (co-star of Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie) kicks off his live performance on Git-R-Done with one of the great questions of the modern age: "Ever have an orgasm so strong you hit your head on the back of the tub?" (He expresses gratitude that the VCR didn't fall into the water.) A string of gay-bashing and other intemperate quips quickly follows, but Larry's gross jokes are a part of an intentionally foolish persona. When he cracks wise about lesbian rocker Melissa Etheridge's genitals, the crowd gasps, and Larry's oversized rube becomes the punch line. Larry's no less hard on his family, commenting on an obese sister who claims to have a thyroid problem: "It's not a thyroid problem, it's a 7-11 problem." On his brief career as an...

The redneck quartet from the original Blue Collar Comedy Tour re-groups for another night of laughs, with (mostly) fresh material performed for an upbeat audience. A funny, clubby preface on a tour bus establishes a tone of lowbrow camaraderie among Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, and Bill Engvall, but once on stage, the differences between each comic's style is considerable. Amiable Engvall kicks things off with gentle gibes: "Men are basic: eating, sleeping, sex. I can do all those in my truck." The decadent air of Ron White darkens the show: "If I'd known the difference between 'antidote' and 'anecdote,' my friend would still be alive today." Foxworthy, the likable Everyman, comments on his wife's hypochondria: "Honey, you do not have testicular cancer." Finally,... More Info about this DVD Director(s): C.B.

Ron White mixes a comedy cocktail that's one part hilarity and another part honesty. Ron speaks from a place that grounded in reality but teathered only by his imagination and your ability to laugh at his act.
There are many fine bits in the DVD and if you don't like Ron White at his finest you'll not like this. Ron is about taking us to another level. He keeps it real but he also doesn't let attitude, wit and positive thinking throw off his delivery.
I marvel at the success he's had and for the life of me I celebrate the fact that someone like this could be so succesful. I call it hope for everyone with a dream and airfare to LA.

Bill Engvall mines one of the classic veins of comedy--family life--on Bill Engvall: Here's Your Sign Live, and comes up with some fresh, funny spin on old gags. His general recommendation for surviving marriage: Relinquish power to wives; that way, one gets to be just a "guy" instead of nominal head of the household. One of the funniest bits concerns linkage of real and imaginary marital crimes. "'If you're lying to me about smoking,'" Engvall quotes his suspicious spouse, "'how do I know you're not sleeping with other women?' Not even Evel Knievel could have made that leap." On keeping sex fun after 21 years of domestic bliss: "As soon as I try something new, she's screaming, 'Where'd you learn that?!'" Engvall has some choice stuff about his kids, too, including a good story... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Bill Engvall DVD Release Date: Released the 03 August 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours
