[edit] Synopsis

Bill Engvall was the first performer, covering a variety of anecdotes including incidents with his son's trampoline, nearly being thrown off an airplane, his stressful time at a massage parlor, his addiction to Sky Mall Magazine, and an incident involving two of the family dogs and a coyote.

Ron White, with trademark drink and cigar in hand, followed Engvall. His routine included dieting tips that he'd received, his solution to the problems with the DHS's "state of awareness scale," his ill fortune with Texas hold'em, being stranded in Fairbanks, Alaska, and the pet concierge at the Don CeSar resort in Florida.

Jeff Foxworthy took the stage after White, and spent most of his time onstage discussing his latest addition to his redneck-related material, "redneck fashion tips," along with his amusement at an odd advertisement for LASIK surgery.

Larry the Cable Guy was the last performer, and covered a variety of topics including some of his past girlfriends, his new wife and their pregnancy, embarrassing incidents at Wal-Mart and his local grocery store, and an incident at a Home Depot in which a customer was glued to a toilet seat by pranksters.

After Larry's routine, the other three comedians joined him onstage, where they shared some of their favorite jokes. After this, they showed the audience potentially embarrassing pictures from their photo albums which had been sent to the show's producers as a gag by their wives.

The DVD also includes these bonus features:

  • Yankee Doody Dandy - a short film directed by.C.B. Harding. The Blue Collar boys play a trick on President Bush(portrayed by Steve Bridges)at the White House.
  • Molding the Minds of Young Americans - The four hold a question-and-answer session with students at George Washington University.
  • Blue Collar Fans - A segment of interviews by the fans.

[edit] Quotes

Bill Engvall: My wife, trying to be helpful, goes to the grocery store and buys this stuff called soy bacon. Let me tell you something: I know soy beans are good for a lot of things...but stay out of the bacon market! They says "It looks and tastes like real bacon!" No it doesn't! It tastes like somebody bacon-flavored a turd, that's what it tastes like!"

Bill Engvall: I cant eat sausage anymore not for any health reasons just cause I saw commercial that scared me to death, watching T.V one night this commercial come on, this is what the announcer said word for word "the eggs are from real chickens, the milk is from real cows, the sausage is from Jimmy Dean" really???? you think some body woulda caught that.

Ron White: I'm getting dieting tips from skinny people. My mother weighs 80 pounds. Her advice: "Drink a lot of water, you'll be less hungry." You know what happens when you drink a lot of water? You're less thirsty! Just as I suspected would be the case!

Jeff Foxworthy: Redneck Fashion Tip #7...and this goes for the younger people in the audience. If your mother still drives you to school, you ain't no gangster - pull your pants up!

Jeff Foxworthy: Wisdom: my brother had two kidney stones, but he wisdom both out. (Redneck Dictionary)

Larry the Cable Guy: I was baggin' my own groceries at the store the other day, 'cause it was so busy, and this old lady walked up to me an' said, "I think it's wonderful they hire people like you." I was like 'What in the world?' So I look at her and say (in retarded voice) 'Thank you!' Then I peed myself an' ran her over with a shoppin' cart! (mimes pushing a cart back and forth and says "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!")

Larry the Cable Guy: Do me a favor if you ever go to the Home Depot, tell them idiots in the plumbing department to mark it better that them toilets is for display purposes only.
