    I have to say, "Cars" was the movie that gave the final impetus to the plan for me and my girlfriend to buy a drop-top Corvair, fly out to San Diego to pick it up, and drive back across America on Rt 66. Awesome trip, and I'll always love that movie.

    I, too, am not a huge fan of Larry the Cable Guy, but I've been fooled into liking other animated characters that were voiced by far worse celebrities.


    Try to tell me that Dory wasn't the best character in Finding Nemo.


    Cars was a great film. I am looking forward to the sequel.

    Damn everybody, it is not as if Larry as Mater is doing stand-up bits in the "Cars" local comedy club. He's the character's voice. I thought he did a great job, and was a great choice, as Mater.


    When did you hear Mater shout out "Git 'er done?"


    I'll definitely watch Cars 2.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: Mater said "git 'er done" during the final tie-breaker race when Lightning McQueen was spun around by Chick Hicks and caught back up to him in reverse. If you remeber, Mater taught McQueen how to drive backwards. Probably the most cartoony part of the whole movie because no car in the world has a reverse gear that goes to 180 MPH.

    I don't know, to me Larry just isn't that funny to me. Maybe it's because I don't live in the South, but his humor is second grade at best.

    @Lord Pferdestärke the 357th: I've lived down South for a pretty long time and Larry the Cable guy is commonly viewed as just a fake persona around here. Especially given that he's from Nebraska.


    I honestly think he has more success BECAUSE most people outside this region actually think he's a good representation of a redneck or something. Like Cletus from the Simpsons--it's overdone for effect. My $0.02.

    @Ash78: Well, that's why I don't think he's that funny. Most of his "jokes" are just exploitations of stereotypes that people that live in other parts of the country (and Canada) believe are true.

    @Lord Pferdestärke the 357th: I guess the analogy would be a white guy doing a Chris Rock-esque routine. Now why would that be offensive, but some guy who apparently has no clue that the South has changed a mite since the 1840's spouting the shite that he does is not?


    Sorry, his commercials are on all the damn time now, sine his shtick is coming soon to a venue near me.

    @mcryder: Not to carry it too far, but Larry was preceded by Foxworthy (obviously) with the same basic act, and as far as "pushing the norms," 1980s standup had it all over most of the current mainstream stuff--Pryor, Hicks, Murphy, Kinison, Carlin, etc. I sort of see Larry as like a Disney version of off-color comedy. I don't think we're really suffering from overly PC comedy.


    Though, Jim Gaffigan is about as good as it gets, and pretty much PG-13 at most. Good exception to the usual.

    I don't like that guy's schtick or persona in real life, but Mater is definitely a great character.


    Although I am still pissed that the 911 was given a female persona. My 4-y-o nephew now associates all 911s with being girls. Oh, well, maybe it'll save him some money in the long run. Or he'll become a dragon. Whatev.
