I met Larry at the show where "Git R Done" was taped. Nice guy. His humor is straight from redneck country. If you don't like that sort of humor, you shouldn't expect much here.

After I adjusted to his humor, I found him funny. Very funny. Toilet humor, but funny. Lots of jokes about reproductive type stuff, or bathroom activities.

Would I recommend this for my 14 year old daughter? Too late. She enjoys it, even if I would have prefered to shield her from that sort of "entertainment".

Fun is poked at many groups that are "off limits" these days. It's old fashioned humor, picking on people based on stereotypes. No one is off limits for Larry. It's refreshing, hearing truly funny stuff without worrying about political correctness. Don't like it? Don't watch it. It's that simple.

Overall, this is a fun show.

If you're a wuss and get easily offended, stay away from this DVD, but if you're not a politically correct girley man as my California Governor Ahnold would say (and that applies to both sexes), you'll laugh until you cry.
Larry the Cable Guy is the redneck Don Rickles, and is an equal opportunity insulter. His is also some of the most inventive stand-up comedy I've heard.
I normally won't tolerate bad language and bathroom humor, because it is usually said as the main reason to make one laugh, for some sort of "shock value"; Larry the Cable Guy says gross toilet humor as part of the story, and it's the story that's funny, not just the way it's said.

Some stories are outrageous, but there are many things out of everyday life...Larry ponders whether it's "Pet Smart" or Pets Mart" (I've often had the same thing run through my head) and in telling us of Rosie O'Donnell's confrontation with NRA member Tom Selleck, he says something I really like: "if guns kill people, I can blame misspelled words on my pencil".

The show, which was filmed at The State Theatre in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on October 30th, 2003, is 66 minutes long, and the DVD extras include a "gallery", and a segment that is about 4 minutes long of "Bathroom Humor", actually filmed in a public restroom, with Larry in a stall.
The show takes a dip in the middle when he's talking about edible britches, but picks up again and Bubli Bubli's letter is a riot, and the Christmas song finale priceless. The last one had me roaring.
Someday Larry the Cable Guy is going to be sued. Not for insulting someone with a defect, but for making someone choke to death with laughter. Git-R-Done Larry !

I just bought this dvd earlier today. Well worth the price, He used some of the same jokes as on the Blue Collar Movie, still great. This is for any fan of Larry The Cable Guy and or any fan of stand up. GIT -R- DONE!!!

Hilarious!! I have read the poor reviews and people should realize that sometimes comedy adds humor to things that might be considered "serious" by some. I will not recommend this to the weak or ultra-sensitive although he is not as vulgar as Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy... or the Queens of Comedy for that matter. Great comedian and well worth having if you love stand-up or If you've ever laughed at a redneck joke... i.e. Jeff Foxworthy. He's "funnier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls".

Look, if you don't know who Larry the Cable Guy is, or what his brand of redneck humor is all about, don't write stupid politically correct reviews. Larry insults just about everyone and makes no apologies for it. If you are easily offended or just a prude, this DVD won't become a classic in your DVD collection. But if you like the charm and down home observations of country-folk this DVD is a great example of Larry's work. If you've seen the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and heard Larry's "Lord I Apologize" CD you've heard much of this before. Not much new stuff and only slight variations on old favorites. The DVD extras aren't worth the effort. But the sound is excellent and the picture bright and clear so it's really Larry at his best. Sure, it's rude, crude and generally offensive but it's hysterical at the same time. If you love Larry, don't miss this DVD!

Amazon editorial reviewer Tom Keogh uses a typical liberal trick to justify his enjoyment of Larry's humor. He claims that Larry is just a "character" and a "rube" (aka "dumb") at that. You see, a liberal cannot admit that he has in any way enjoyed or laughed at politically incorrect humor, so he or she must somehow justify their enjoyment to themselves. Above, Tom Keogh claims that Larry's "rube" character is the "real" punchline to Larry's un-PC zingers (Somehow implying that Larry the Cable Guy is in reality and liberal New Englander or something just making fun of rednecks). WELL BS!!!! Larry's un-PC punchlines ARE the REAL punchlines here, and too bad if you can't deal with that, my guilt ridden, hypersensitive friends.Sheesh!
It reminds me of Norman Lear, creator of "All in the Family", or Seth McFarland, creator of "Family Guy". These two liberals would write some of the most racist jokes ever aired on TV (laughing it up in the writer's room, no doubt), and then deflect any criticism by claiming that it is not racist because their main character, (the one mouthing the words they gleefully wrote,) is portrayed as being less than bright. Well what liberal hypocracy! You wrote the words and you got off on them, and I know you laughed at Larry the cable guy as well. Do not justify your enjoyment of Larry's humor by claiming you were really just enjoying his "portrayal" of a redneck rube. Larry's humor is what it is, and not what you want it to be or wish it was. He may be playing a character, but not for the purpose of social commentary.
"Intentionally foolish persona" my foot. As Larry would say, "I don't care who you are, that's funny right there. Well, except for guilty PC types who feel the need to convince themselves that everyone else is just like them. Larry rocks, and is the funniest comic going right now. Git 'er Done!

If you are concerned about political correctness, you will surely be offended by Larry.
If you lean to the left, you won't think this is funny at all. (Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, Josef Stalin and Fidel Castro weren't exactly comedians) Our beloved President Obama isn't very funny either. Radical lefties are devoid of humor, it's not in them.
Having a sense of humor means that you can laugh at yourself. Larry pokes fun at all of us. He is one of the most successful stand up comics of all time. He did a show recently in Lincoln, Nebraska and 50,000 people showed up. We aren't talking about a booming metropolis.
Larry is up there will Richard Prior, Eddie Murphy, Lenny Bruce. All these guys were offensive at times. Larry's language is much cleaner than the guys listed above. No "F" bombs.
The detractors should get over themselves and lighten up.

It enjoyed this show very much and even had a couple of laugh out loud moments. Even some slapping hand on upper thigh while (still) laughing out loud , moments. I mention this as I was watching the DVD on my own (when one tends to be more inhibited as when watching a comedy or stand-up show with a group of people). Mr CableGuy must be quite an intelligent "fella" to be able to come up with some of his very funny jokes, and maybe his redneck persona is his best joke of all. If you enjoy comedy, have a good sense of humour and like stand-up shows on DVD, you will love this one. Git-R-Watching.

We bought Git-R-Done after seeing Larry on the Blue Collar Comedy tour. I think he's one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen. An hour and a half of laughing so hard I cried. My husband, my son and our friends all felt the same way. We definitely recommend Larry to anyone in need of a good laugh. Hope to see him live soon.

We loved Larry and others in "Blue Collar Comedy Tour", but we less impressed with this DVD. We liked it, but didn't love it. Larry does a lot of the same stuff and although he starts off a little rough (not enough sleep?), he gets into gear later on.
