I was being mean obviously, but i think his humor is too simple. That humor becomes mainstream deafening the wit of popular culture. I see a connection in Larry's humor and the standardization of idiotic shows...while I have no problem with idiotic shows per se, i have a problem when more complex, funnier, and more enjoyable shows (Arrested Development, Futurama, Freaks and Geeks) get cancelled because they dont fit the suit of everybody loves raymond humor.
Also, humor then becomes so standard...that it becomes formulaic and that condemns new, even if simple, humor from succeeding (wonder showzen, for example). Suddenly, I am watching the same show over and over again.
That...is my rant against Larry the Cable guy. Oh and the weasels jet engine bit...that is John Benfield, and not Larry the Cable guy.
