Audio/visual unsynchronized: While in the Spencer's Gifts store, Bill Engvall remarks, "This is the best store on the planet." To which Ron White replies, "It is." However, his lips do not move while saying that.

Quotes:

[about a Georgia man who had his nipple bitten off by a beaver]
Jeff: They found this animal. He picked it up by the *tail*. And he said "look, it ain't even cut up or bloody or nothin'!" And apparently, "nothing" is the word that brings a beaver back to conciousness. Because that was about the moment the beaver reached out and bit his nipple off.
[laughter]
Jeff: Did not bite it, bit it off. O-F-F, off, bit it off. That is a new kind of hurt right there.

It's a southern thing!

Finally,a showcase of humor I can appreciate.I am a southerner,and while I may not be exactly like these guys,I know people who are.Therefore,I get along with this type of humor and know exactly where they are coming from.I must admit,while I am familiar with the work of Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall,that I was seeing Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy for the first time.They are all hilarious,though Larry the Cable Guy may take a few steps too many on the raw side.While the humor and routines were fantastic,the "in between" sequences could have been done better. For example,when the guys go into the Victoria's Secret store,they are greeted by Heidi Klum pretending to be a worker there.I think that this sequence would have been much better had it been a little more spontaneous and unplanned.It would have been fun,I think,for the guys to make an unplanned visit to a real Victoria's secret store just to see what would happen.Also,David Alan Grier seems and looks way out of place here.Other than these minor flaws,it is a good film for the stand up humor alone.
