Ron White returns in all his filthily hilarious glory on this new disc. It's nice to be able to listen to his educated insolence without the infernal bleeps of Comedy Central. Once again, White proves his bite and his bark are more deliciously vicious than his Blue Collar counterparts, but without the offense of shock comedians. White's comic timing, droll delivery, and erudite psychopathic rants are truly a delight to behold and put him in a class by himself. It's not Shakespeare, but it sure as heck is going to make you laugh for an hour.

Finally new Ron White material.I'm a huge fan of Ron's but I was getting sick of the same old jokes.

This one of the best comedy cds I've ever heard. Ron is defenetly the best out of the blue collar boys, and this cd proves it. Any true comedy fan needs to get this cd. Don't worry if you don't buy this cd at least you'll have an excuse, You Can't Fix Stupid.

More biting...that's putting it mildly. Heed the parental advisory. It's definitely more raw than Blue Collar 1 and 2. Ron White is hilarious and this cd doesn't disappoint those who enjoy his scarcastic edge. Squirrel Man...I'm laughing at my desk remembering.

Ron was a bit overdue to introduce some new material, and does a histerical job of it! That fantastic scotch-sippin, grinnin comedy that we've all come to love is continued in lots of new and entertaining tales of funny family members and just plain old everyday stupid. I loved it! It even made my wife laugh right out loud - and she doesn't think anything is funny.

I really enjoyed Ron White when I first learned about him. I was disappointed, though, that he doesn't have a whole lot of material. The recording rectifies that. It is all new material. It is not as good as the BLUE COLLAR COMEDY stuff but it is good for a few laughs.

The humor is raunchy. It starts off a bit slow but gets better. It's not for the faint of heart or the easily offended but it does help us to poke fun at ourselves.

This album is a little more biting and unkind to stupid people than Drunk In Public with more f**king profanity than I care for. I listened to it twice today and laughed just as hard the second time as the first so I guess it is well worth buying. If you are PC and/or have tender ears, you may not like it but it will amuse and entertain the rest of us.

Ron White rocketed to the top of the comedy world on the coattails of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour Live, where he told extremely well-crafted, thoughtful, and ultimatley hilarious material. He'd been honing that 10 minutes of material for almost 20 years, and it was brilliant. This CD is his response to the public demand for new material, and while it's got flashes of the afore-mentioned brilliance (he still shines in his hard-drinking, underachieving persona, and his delivery is smarmy fun), it largely is just a shadow of what I believe is White's potential.

One should really heed the little black box in the lower right hand corner of the album cover. I didn't, thinking that I'd heard blue comedy before and since I've loved Ron White's work in the past, no big deal, right?

Let's just say that Ron White's got a bit of an obsession with "man parts", his own and others, and he delivers anecdotes repeatedly throughout the CD on the topic with uneven results. He dedicates an entire track to his own "cheese wheel" (a really pointless, unfunny track), and spends 12 minutes talking about "squirrel man" (qutie clever and the funniest section of the CD), but you'll hear a phallic reference about every 2 minutes. He also seems to have a mouthful of F-words and they come spilling out whenever and wherever, again mostly pointlessly. We all know that profanity can be used to funny effect (check out Eddie Griffin's diatribe on Christmas, if you want an example), but I don't care to hear it spouted about just because you can. That's dumb and lazy, as far as "comedy" is concerned.

Which is ultimately what I think this CD is: "My manager said I needed to make a CD, so I sat around the big beautiful house you all just bought me for 6 months and put this together last week." While I was hoping for the out-loud guffaws that Ron White had brought me to before, YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID delivered mostly snorts and chuckles and more than a few squelched desires to hit the fast-forward button. If you're looking to check out the Ron White's comedy for the first time, I'd recommend you check out his other work first like The Best Of Blue Collar Comedy (2 CD), but if you're "hard up" for a Ron White fix, brace yourself. It'll do.

This is one funny fellow. People say that some of the material on this cd is found on other cds. Of course, this is true. It is like any other musical group or other genra, you just don't always have enough material to fill up a new album, so you fill it with some old stuff. If you want to laugh, and haven't heard this cd, this is one to buy.

Ron White is hilarious; a great story teller. I commute in miserable traffic to Wash., DC and I need safe distractions. This is safe until I start cracking up. I can also listen to the cd a few times in a row and it just doesn't get old. If you appreciate "good old boy" humor, this one's for you. Very, very funny.

I love Ron White so obviously I would rate his CD high. It's great to listen to with friends or on a long car ride. Definitely not something you want children listening to because of the language and content.
