His material then was about 110 times better than it is now. He actually uses that same crappy joke in his act now he just rednecks it up.

I'm just annoyed that he's from Nebraska (so am I), and he comes off with that stupid damn accent. Because of that crap, my boyfriend thinks we're all a bunch of friggin rednecks and talk like we have "marbles" in our mouths.

Oh jeez...some of you think this could be used as blackmail if it ever got around that that's not really how he is. Jeez...for a wrestling board, people should know right off the bat that the cable guy deal is a GIMMICK!
Some of you lambaste Larry for his gimmick, yet how many of you on here were singing the praises of Cartoon Network for bringing Pee Wee's Playhouse on Adult Swim? How many of you were surprised many years ago when PAUL REUBENS was found smackin' around his salami in a porno joint and that his mug shot didn't look anything like what was on TV?
Point is...Dan Whitney found a gimmick that worked for him. I can guarantee you he wouldn't have made it like what we saw here.

Thank you.
And while we're at it...anyone see Ron White back in his early days? Guy had the cowboy hat, cowboy shirts that looked like an R.C.C. Western Store discount special, and a moustache...definitely a far cry from what he looks like now.

OMG HE'S PLAYING A CHARACTER!? A TELEVISION ENTERTAINER ISNT 100% LIKE HIS ON SCREEN PERSONA?! LIES, ALL LIES!
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a busy day ahead of me. I've got a sore tooth I need Dr. Yankem to take a look at, Mr. Hopper will be here any minute to unclog my toilet, and I'm afraid my great aunt Beatrice finally passed away so I'm off to Paul Bearer's Funeral Parlor to pick out her casket.
