Thankfully not everything makes its way to my country (figure it out). We have a comedian equivalent to that named Wil Anderson, except he doesn't play a character. I did however think about somebody who is comedy genius - Norm MacDonald. A great show would be Norm MacDonald punching Tina Fey in the face. Right.

Larry the Cable Guy is a stand up comedian, or rather a persona for a stand-up comedian. He generally acts like a stereotypical southern redneck. I used to think he was funny, but he does the same jokes all the time. He usually runs with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Enval, and Ron White ("Blue Collar Comedy").

I remember not so long ago when Jim Carrey was meant to be the great comic saviour, but that train has long since sailed. One thing bothers me though... who the FUCK is Larry The Cable Guy?

I absolutely loved Anchorman, it killed me, but since then I feel like I am laughing at the same jokes over and over and over again, kinda like Ben Stiller movies (yes, the gas scene in Zoolander made me laugh, but really, Meet the Faukers? is that really necessary?) I didn't, nor do I plan to, watch anymore Will Farrell in (pick sport X) films. It's getting as bad as the Rob Schneider is ___ films .... The Hot Chick anyone?

I agree. The Old Prospector skit is my all-time favorite SNL skit. I don't know why they didn't actually air it, unless it's because Ferrell kept cracking everybody else up. I hope both Ferrell and Steve Carrel will turn around from this dangerous path they're on. Seth Rogan should just write them into all of his movies. Well put! I agree.

I would like to point out ,just to clear up any misconceptions, and defend The South, Larry the Cable Guy is from Nebraska.

I stop staring at the comments section for two seconds and we're bashing Steve Carrel <em>and</em> Kristen Wiig? Steve Carrel who, honestly, I haven't seen turn in a bad performance, (didn't see Evan Almighty), and Kristen Wiig one of the strongest women ever to be on SNL? You don't like them? Who does it for you, then? Who would you say this generation's strongest comedic actor is? Larry the Cable Guy? A Wayans? <em>Tim Fucking Allen?</em> Christ.
