This review is from: Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary III: Learning to Talk More Gooder Fastly (Hardcover)

Jeff Foxworthy (with contributors Fax Bahr, Adam Small, Garry Campbell, and Brian Hartt), following on the heels of his highly success "You might be a redneck..." books, has released the third installment in his Redneck Dictionary series, "Learning to Talk More Gooder Fastly." Both the title and the books cover seem to be trying to, and successfully, evoke Stephen Colbert's "I Am America (And So Can You!)"

So does Foxworthy's newest installment measure up? Well, let's just say any time ego and make a new book, I'll gladly read it! "Learning to Talk More Gooder Fastly" is another essential primer if you want to learn to talk "gooder redneck." It's filled with useful words such as 'canter,' as in "Canter sister watch the baby?" and the all important 'scholar' -- "Scholar after we've had a few more drinks." As with the other Redneck Dictionary releases, the pages are illustrated with amusing examples of selected definitions, by LayronDeJarnette.

So to learn how to talk more gooder fastly too, ya'll be sure and pick up a copy of "Learning to Talk More Gooder Fastly: Redneck Dictionary III."


P.S.: Foxworthy's past releases in this series have generally reviewed positively and I am surprised to see only negative reviews for this book. It's another fine installment in the series -- I don't see what's wrong with it. The definitions *are* funny, and the style and humor are the same as the past books.

This review is from: Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary III: Learning to Talk More Gooder Fastly (Mass Market Paperback)

The problem with this whole series is that the earlier material in the first two volumes was the funniest, and what you have by the time you get this far is what's left plus a bit of reaching. Not to mention some of it being derivative. Example: tortoise, i.e. "that stupid teacher never tortoise nothin'". Well, that one originated with Lewis Carroll's "Alice In Wonderland". Hey, Jeff, some of us ARE smarter than a first grader". Like in SECOND grade when the Mock Turtle explained to Alice why his teacher who was a turtle was instead known as Tortoise; "We called him Tortoise because he taught us." Being clueless at that age about puns based on the actual King's English, that one went right by me. But there it is, a British pun long before it was a redneck one.

This review is from: Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary III: Learning to Talk More Gooder Fastly (Hardcover)

An absolute waste of time. Used to be Jeff Foxworthy was tapping into a good source of humor with the redneck view. This book (which he didn't write, but loaned his name to) becomes tiresome real quick, as the definitions seemed to be based on listening to someone slur the words after they've pulled back a case of beer. This humor gets very thin after about two pages.Can't give this pile of elephant doodles "zero" stars.
