(Sung to the tune of “My Favorite Things”)

Cheez Whiz with crackers and butt cracks on plumbers
Guys who drive pickups bigger than Hummers
Larry the Cable Guy in a movie
These are the things that a redneck will see

Shirts with no sleeves and stupid one-liners
Flatulence plenty in greasy-spoon diners
Larry must solve a gastro-mystery
A red state’s idea of great comedy

Un-PC humor that makes you go, “Ew”
Jokes about vomit and nasty doo-doo
Nothing much here but cruder than crude
Larry the Cable Guy is one gross dude

As I watch this
As I shiver
Before I lose all aplomb
I realize Larry is hardly for me
And so I give this the BOMB!

(Note: Not one gratuitous “Git-Er-Done!” was uttered during the composition of this review.)
