Them Idiots Whirled Tour (TV Special 2012)

Them Idiots Whirled Tour: Directed by Ryan Polito. With Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy, Reno Collier. You loved them on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and now Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy, and Larry the Cable Guy have reunited for an all-new comedy special. Filmed live in front of more than eleven thousand fans at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Them Idiots Whirled Tour features the signature humor of three of the most successful comedians in history. From jury duty to family weddings; colonoscopies to the McRib, nothing is off limits in this all-new stand-up special. It also includes a brand new encore with the three guys trying to make each other laugh, as only they know how.

“(To preface this, I rate entries on IMDb according to a binary system – 10 means I liked it, 1 means I didnu0026#39;t. Thumb up, or thumb down. I donu0026#39;t feel the need to mess with the numbers in-between.) After the excellent One for the Road, Ron White left Blue Collar Comedy since he felt a bit suffocated by the cleaner requirements of the format. Several years later, the three guys who were left decided that while heu0026#39;s still a friend, not having him around ainu0026#39;t such a bad thing, and here we are with Them Idiots: Whirled Tour.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter a weak opener from Reno Collier, Bill Engvall gives a rather underwhelming set that Jeff Foxworthy more than makes up for. Larry the Cable Guy, known for his humor being bluer than that of the other two, finishes it off on about the same level as Jeff. Itu0026#39;s a bit sad that Bill doesnu0026#39;t do as well as he could here since he is an enormously funny man who just two years prior to this performance released the superb Aged and Confused.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJeff in particular proves there are STILL elements of the redneck lifestyle he still has not elaborated upon in his signature way, since he has written page-a-day redneck joke calendars for over 20 years and STILL had material left over for his act in this film. He also describes having just turned 50 and being required to prepare for a colonoscopy, a tired stand-up comedy trope that he reinvigorates in an unexpected way you have to hear to believe. His was easily the best set, and I was rather worried that the film overall would not quite be what it could.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThem Idiots: Whirled Tour is quite funny overall and I would love it if Them Idiots got back together to do another round.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne last thing – a technical quibble: Iu0026#39;m not sure if itu0026#39;s the DVDu0026#39;s fault or that of the film itself, but when I popped this movie in, some of the intro suffered from slight synchronization issues. By no means does this affect the show itself, but it did make me think there was something wrong with my equipment.”
