I hurt my leg when he threw the possum at me!
« on: April 13, 2012, 11:05:25 PM »
There's something you don't hear everyday.

We're watching "Duck Dynasty" on A&E and I swear this is the funniest reality show ever. EVER. Story about a bunch of rednecks who made a boatload of money making duck calls. But the mishaps they get themselves into and the commentary they make to and about each other is hysterical.

I know people just like that except they ain't got no money to speak of. 
And, it does hurt when you get hit with a big opossum.

My wife hears/says silly things like that all the time. But then, she works with 18-month-olds.

Yeah, Ben says things like that a lot too, but then he works for the .gov. Kind of like 18-mo-olds.

You say "redneck" like it's a bad thing.

CNN has a neat article online today regarding Bubba Watson's Masters win and stereotypes. 

It's an eye-opener.  Well, that, and I can point out "rednecks" from Rio Linda to Superior, so it's not really a geographically isolated thing.

The Duck Dynasty "Rednecks" are definitely some smart cookies. They previously had a hunting show on the Outdoor Channel, so already had some "screen time". There's definitely some heavy scripting that goes into the shows, as likely evidenced by the fact that Willie is listed as a co-Executive Producer.

Nevertheless, it is scripted well, and the deadpan comedic deliveries of brother #2 are just classic. I loved the turning the loading dock into an "R&D duck pond" segment, and these guys are into dynamite like we're into detcord. :)

Not a thing wrong with rednecks. I'll take a couple rednecks fighting alongside me over a couple city boys any day of the week. And you're right, location has nothing to do with it. I've met rednecks in every state I've been in, north and south of the Mason Dixon.

But yeah, they blow stuff up, hunt frogs in the golf club's water trap, find creative ways to pass the time at work, there are guns and shooting things in every episode, they eat some pretty tasty food, their women don't take any crap .... what's not to like?

Me and dad always laugh at "threats" from ghetto thugs (long story, no real threat to us) we figure in a fight between rednecks and ghetto thugs, rednecks would win, hands down. Bubba in the back woods may be slow to reload his .50 cal black powder rifle, but he knows how to shoot it and what he shoots will hve a gapping hole in it.  :lol:

Not that the ghetto thugs would even make it out to bum *expletive deleted*ck backwoods. Their lowriders would all bottem out and get stuck.  :lol:

I always thought that would make a funny movie. Ghetto gang vs. The rednecks.

You understand the nature of reality TV perfectly.

Or if they do, not sure if they would ever make it back to the city  ;)    >:D

Might make a good Survivor type show. Take out all the BS artificial drama, just put them on an island and see which group survives.
I know where my money would be bet.

The problem with that is it's not REALLY a game show if you know which side will win...  :laugh:
