Well since last year the Roast has been a comedy central thing, not affiliated with the Friars club anymore. All the good comedians are taken.

Are the ratings for all the hick comedian shows on comedy central good? I don't know why anyone would like that shit, but why else would 1/2 of the channel's programming be filled by it?

The amount of Comedy Central's hick programming has only been increasing, so unfortunately I would assume the ratings are pretty good. I can't even stand watching the ads featuring those four "Blue Collar" dumbshits.

I wonder if it's hick-hater watching those things to laugh at them, or hicks themselves that are able to laugh at themselves...

the only joke that stands out for me is one dude saying his daughter brought home a "goth" friend that was wearing black and white makeup on her face... he joke basically came down to a line that was something like "didn't they used to call dressing like that Halloween?"

It was funnier when Al Jourgensen said it 20 years ago.

I am predicting some really funny redneck jokes! Maybe...

YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF... YOU BRING A FORK AND KNIFE TO A ROAST.

Ya ron white is actually a good comic, he fucking deserves a roast before jeff.

" I was at the sunglass hut and I found a pair of sunglasses I liked. I liked them, I didn't love them. They were $300. I told the clerk I just bought a 21" color television for $218. He says to me 'Well you just don't get IT.' '(smartass smirk)...I'm listening...' 'These glasses block out 100% of UV rays.' And I say, 'Well I don't think you get it, my television decodes and displays a digital signal it receives from outer fucking space.' I felt like a real dick when I found out the sunglasses got basic cable. "
 
You guys might not like them, but Foxworthy and crew are some of the most popular comedians out there working today. One of the most important thing comedians can do is find their audience, and Foxworthy and the gang have found theirs.

He deserves the roast. At least it isn't some smug asshole like Chevy Chase just sitting there getting angry.
 
Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most popular and well known comedians in the country. Who hasn't heard his "you might be a redneck" jokes? It's part of the culture.

Even the Daily Show used the reference. I remember a hilarious joke where they were "translating" for Saddam Hussein and he said "If you want to make war on Iraq, you might be a redneck." or something to that effect.

The real question is why wouldn't he deserve a roast?
