LCD appeal. him and the rest of his blue collar comedy buddies are thought to be incredibly funny by the lowest common denomenator, so comedy central is capitalizing on their opportunity to make more horrible jokes that white trash loves
I personally think he is funny. Bill Engvall & Larry the Cable Guy are fucking hysterical. Ron White is the least funny of the 4. Both DVD's are great. Some people are just closed minded to watching are listening to something about white trash that they percived to be unfunny. I thought the same thing. Was flipping through the channels about 2 months ago when I saw Bill Engvall's part in the 1st tour. Had no idea what the show was just started laughing and kept it on till commercial. Thats when I found out what I was watching. I thought about it for a whole 3 seconds and kept it on(being stoned had alot to do with it.) I laughed till the end credits.
The reason he was roasted, He is the top grossing comedian and still has more to come later in the year.
Also to capitalize on the moment of his popularity
its not closed mindedness, i've actually heard a decent sized sampling of stuff. about two years ago, i suffered through a jeff foxsworthy cd a friend had me listen to, and when this all got big, i gave the movie a shot. i now want to shoot myself in the head whenever i see larry the cable guy. he is the single most unfunny peice of shit i've ever seen.
look, people who live in the country have some seriously stupid culture. Their comedians are dull, their music is whiney and trashy, and they all believe in Jesus Christ like he's Michael Jordan.
Jeff Foxworthy is decent, but his audience is focused. It's the self-deprication that the popular culture finds funny, and I think most of us on the board have listened to a substatial amount of much better self-deprecating humor than Jeff Foxworthy, thus, I believe the man might have deserved a roast, but, most of us here don't feel that way because we are smarter, faster, and better than Jeff Foxworthy fans.

it is presumptuous of you to include yourself.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.
