Larry the '80s Stand-Up Guy | Print |  E-mail
Written by Chris J. Magyar   
Monday, 14 April 2008

It's amazing what funny voices do for stand-up comedy. In the 1980s, before he sold his soul to Satan in exchange for a goatee and a fake southern accent, Larry the Cable Guy was Dan Whitney, the jokey and occasionally offensive comedian from Nebraska. I'm fascinated by the quirks he tries to incorporate into this persona, with a strange masticating mouth move and the compulsive need to sell every joke with the "and, uh" pause. Compare it to his current character, which is calm and oddly feels more 'real' than his original persona (which may or may not be his actual accent and personality ... there is no depth to the creature we know as Larry).

Also interesting to note: both incarnations tell bad jokes.
