Maybe I should have made this point clear in my video, but I thought I have explained my position on this in other reviews I've made: I find being boring to be a far bigger comedic sin than fumbling through a bit like Schaub does. Jeff has multiple bits on this special that go on for 3, 5, 10 or more minutes with virtually nothing remotely funny. Again, at least Braindumb is ironically funny. I would watch cringe comedy like Gringo Papi ironically any day over this humorless nonsense
This is just church humor. He’s like the “funny” pastor that tells a few funny stories during his sermons and makes the old folks feel good. He could live well just touring mega churches in the south for the rest of his days
Idk man, Jeff has the perfect set for people like my family. They only like talking about the same 5 things for over a decade and still laugh at jokes theyve heard 500 times since the 90s. Anything more unique and they're confused and you're weird.
Mrs. Brown's Boys was the most watched comedy show in the UK for several years. Miranda also had ludicrously high ratings. When I was a kid Friends was extraordinarily popular for some reason. I've endured an unnecessarily large amount of time listening to idiots repeating none-jokes to me from those shows alone. Factor in people doing Cartman "jokes" and Ali G impressions and lying in an ice-bath whilst hugging a plugged in hairdryer and being skull fucked with acid tinted blunt scissors often seemed tempting.
yeah this vid is maybe the first miss i've seen from BF, though i haven't watched all his stuff. 'jeff foxworthy dumb and unfunny' is just such a tepid take. who cares. you're not the target audience. and the target audience loves this kind of thing.
Though idk who’s special is truly worse. Jeff is actually able to deliver comedy very successfully but the material is so inconsequential and cringeworthy it’s almost worse than Brunden stumbling through something that doesn’t even make sense. As a person though Jeff is a good respectable guy
jeff used to be a legit great comic back in the 90s. even as he got older he didn't get into the boomer or edgy "cancelled" bullshit even if you knew he was a kinda conservative guy. he's just an old dude now...
Honestly I’m glad he didn’t go to the “cancelled” shit. Makes listening to that “you might be a redneck” cd that much easier (I didn’t buy it it was a hand me down :P)
@@BeigeFrequency I heard the Department of Homeland Security was looking into contracting Brendan for the production of stand up specials intended for distribution on Guantanamo bay loudspeakers
Met Jeff and his family last winter. In my line of work I meet a lot of rude people but the entire foxworthy family, including Jeff, were some of the most warm and welcoming people to the upmost degree.
@@dissraps Not at all and for what it's worth the commenter didn't suggest that it did. But it's a pleasant departure from all of the "I met this guy and he was an enormous douchecanoe to boot!" stories we often hear about various celebrities and comedians.
thats not what kind of music hillbillies are known for making or listening to. not even close. rob zombie is most popular and most associated with rich suburban people
I can assure you, he wrote that Ron White joke years ago, it killed on minor shows, so he put it in the special due to a lack of material. As an aspiring comedian, I see people do stuff like this all the time, I do it with my sets sometimes when I don't have enough new material.
I can assure you he has ghostwriters and that he adds things like this to give it a personal touch. He hasn’t had a solid 15 of original material since he started.
The problem with this special is it's just the laziest shit from his routines in the 80s and 90s, and what was funny and fresh 30 or 40 years ago is woefully dated now. The fact that there's a "participation trophy" joke is just baffling, because that was a trite observation even way back then. It's like having jokes about car phones and fax machines, just wildly out of touch and delivered like he's dropping bombs about modern society.
@@HonkeyKongLive yes i do... did people used to watch porn videos, send text messages, and use gps apps on their car phones in the 80s? what an absolute genius you must be
Yeah, seriously missed opportunity. Those O&A bits about how crazy the '50s were are still great 20 years later. Could actually criticize modern times along with the "good old days" by highlighting how problems/dangers have simply shifted (ie. less lead exposure now but more exposure to microplastics).
I mean secretly it is. I know people exactly like this being from the south and they 100 percent miss the being racist and bigoted that was just common place in the "good ole days"
Need to listen to more Weird Al. The final song off his “Even Worse” album is literally called “The Good Old Days” wherein the narrator is a psychopath reminiscing about torturing animals, burning down buildings, and other shit. It’s darkly hilarious and very messed up.
I'm not a Foxworthy fan AT ALL, but this is not worse than Schaub. Foxworthy at least has the rhythm, the cadence of a professional comedian. If a joke is otherwise worthless, it still goes down better with a good delivery. Sorry, but this isn't worse than that. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I definitely agree. He at least sounds like an experienced comedian. There will be people that find his topics relatable or funny and him being able perform a good delivery will be good in that case. Even if you found Brendan’s topics funny his delivery and cadence make it impossible to find it hilarious. I think all you have to do is look at the comments under both specials. Jeff’s has a bunch of people saying they enjoyed it and Brendan’s is just people shitting on him non stop. Even IMDB rating is way higher which tells you at least someone is finding this watchable
I agree. His comedy isn’t for me but it’s definitely better than schaub. I think Foxworthy’s comedy is directed at boomers and well….a dumber crowd? 🤷🏻 I don’t think he’s ever done anything worse than Schaub tho lol.
I think there's quite a bit of hair splitting here. Like, yea we all know Schwabb has always sucked, but Foxworthy can at least pass as entertainment for a certain retarded middle aged demo that extends to the almost dead, life long smoker baptist demo. Given the parlance of his time, of course. You gotta have a frame of reference. Brandon doesn't have the benefit of the "You might be a redneck" confidence that Foxworthy presents. He tries to be cool and fails miserably and fails to capture an audience in that way. There was a time when Billy Bass, the singing as seen on TV fish was a big thing as well as Billy Bob teeth, and WWJD bracelets. I'm almost 37, if you're 5 years or more younger than me, you gotta believe me, Foxworthy was a fucking rockstar level comic. Top of the heap. To even have to argue semantics against a total tallywhacker like Brandon the Retard is a point for the author of this comment. Is Foxworthy better? I mean..do you want to hear either, ever? No. And has Foxworthy always been terrible? yea, he has. So, there is a line to be drawn here.
I'll never understand "my spouse" humor. Like, if you dislike your wife so much and find her so annoying, why do you remain married to her? And, on that note...if your husband makes a career out of disrespecting you and making fun of you in front of an audience of strangers every night, why do you remain married to him?
Depends on the act and the relationship. It’s healthy for couples to laugh together about their quirks. The overall premise structure is something that can be super relatable to audiences when properly crafted.
This is the ultimate boomer comedy, like watching your boomer uncle get up on-stage to do improv at the local podunk talent show. It's not Schaub levels of bad (flubbing lines, general offensiveness, incessant fake laughter), but it feels kind of embarrassing in it's own way.
What the hell could be considered "offensive" material in this special? It was just extremely boring, which is the worst thing a comedy routine can possibly be.
@@pede6272 You may wanna re-read the original comment... For future reference, parentheticals generally refer to the subject directly proceeding them, not whatever you randomly decide to assign them to.
Especially considering how clownish the world has become, you could do a 'good old days' routine that goes a lot harder than participation trophies and smart phones. That's the shameful part, he could've said something genuinely incisive but he took the boomer way out.
@@pede6272 Nothing was offensive about Foxworthy, I meant Schaub was. Schaub flubbed lines, was offensive and kept doing this fake laugh during every sinle one of his 'jokes'
There’s a reason Jeff teamed up with others back in the day. Ron carried the crew. Even back in his prime, it was the group moments that were funny, mostly because of Ron and Cletus.
Long before blue collar, Jeff was the top seller, the top ticket mover, and the commodity for television. Dude is a Rushmore head in terms of comedy careers.
This is just Jeff’s brand of comedy, his specials have always been like this. It’s just like if Netflix put up a new Dice Clay special, you know what to expect.
I saw Dice 6-7 years ago and he was really good. He did his newer matured comedy for the whole show and then came out to do the nursery rhymes as his encore. He has definitely still held onto the Dice persona, but a granddad Dice now.
If it's on Netflix it's going to be low quality and cheap. I will never ever pay for Nefilix ever again after the mike tyson, jake paul scam. I don't get people that do. The only thing worse than foxworthy's standup is neflix. Netflix hasn't been good since 2009. Being a netflix subscriber in 2025 is kind of cringy as hell.
That's a shame. I never felt Foxworthy was laugh out loud funny, but I always considered him to be a likeable guy, if not corny. It's disappointing to see Jeff call it in like that.
What does "likeable" have to do with "funny"? You watch comedy shows and go "gee I hope he's a likeably friendly guy". That's usually how I pick what surgeon I go to, I look up how slick their Nike collection is on instagram
@@dissraps I didn't say being likeable has anything to do with being funny. I'll also readily acknowledge that all it does is create a prejudice to want someone to do well, and it's disappointing when they don't. It's as simple as that.
You keep referring to 2009 but Jeff Foxworthy hit his stride in the mid 90s and hasn't progressed since, and that's coming from a lifelong fan of Jeff Foxworthy.
i grew up in a rural area and the blue collar comedy tour was beyond huge when it came out in 2003, and people would constantly quote it in school. i think that's the last time i saw Jeff
Jeff and his crew had a great run back in the day, at one point I'm pretty sure he made more money than any other comedian at the time. He should have taken it for what it was, a great bit to do AT THE TIME. It was inoffensive humor for Midwestern Dads and grandparents. Home improvement was on TV and a few beers and a Foxworthy special was a great night for some 40 yrold dude in the 90s. Why on earth he would try to resurrect it is beyond me but I guess one last money grab to keep the mansion running was needed :/
Because it sounds so much better than today's social media dating app social distancing filled dystopia of today, and everything is somehow racist now...
its mostly out of touch boomer comedy and not the actively malignant political bullshit that a lot of comics go for today. i reckon this goes over real well in the nursing homes lol
LOL I agree. I remember seeing it and thinking "wow, that is the most basic boomer shlt that's been said to death and is aggressively outdated". However, I wouldn't put it under Shumer. It was watchable. Instead of cringing, I was genuinely curious whether this man was stuck in cryo for the last 22 years. "hEy... kIdS uSe tHeIr pHoNeS a LoT.... wHeN i wAs a KiD, wE diDn'T hAvE pHoNeS" Holy shlt Jeff, tell me more.
I don’t know man, I don’t think Jeff deserved this. He’s an old, over the hill comedian who’s just phoning it in at this point. He’s harmless. There has got to be far more deserving people of this brutal criticism. I will compliment you on the artwork, you keep getting better and better 👍🏻
YES! I'm glad to see that you, me and, well, everyone else who watched are pointing out this obvious fact: Foxworthy is stale and banal, but he isn't awful. I wouldn't cross the street to watch him for free, but others are much worse.
While I wouldn't say it was totally undeserved, I do agree there are almost certainty more deserving targets. The thought that kept occurring to me was that this comedy was probably perfect for Foxworthy's fanbase, or what's left of it, anyway.
I’m new to the channel but have you seen Bob Saget’s special from 2007 called “That Ain’t Right”? You want to talk about a steaming pile of shit of a special. First comedy special that made me try to laugh to enjoy it and left me feeling hollow afterwards. I think he took inspiration from Redd Fox and thought if every third word was a curse word he’d be fine, but he forgot to be funny in between the fucking shits and the fucking fucks. RIP tho
If you want to see the nagging wife/girlfriend bit done right look no further than Patrice himself. "Isn't that better?" One of the all time great bits.
@@TheSands83 you’re probably socially awkward, too smart or dumb, just the guy that everyone sighs when they hear he’s gonna be there or is on the way.
@@bedbathbeyand nah I never thought his stand up was that good tbh..he was great on O&A. But I was never impressed with his standup.. I think it’s just people being sentimental
I think you’re too young to actually have encountered “the treasure chest” at a doctor’s/dentist’s office. When you were a kid, if you were “good” at the doctor, they’d let you pick a toy out of this treasure chest thing when you left. It was actually pretty sweet. They might actually still do it in some places
Not only are these jokes weak and woefully outdated... I'm almost positive that the vast majority of these were just plucked out of his old routines through the past couple of decades with the "good ol' days" tag slapped onto them. I most definitely haven't wasted my time viewing this special, but I'm almost positive that I've heard most of these jokes before... so he's either rehashing his own archaic material or he's stealing ancient jokes from other comics. And honestly, I'm not too sure which of those is more pathetic.
As a central Texas resident I can say, this is definitely the over sanitized dreck that is super common among the southern Christian (but also coincidentally very racist) crowd. Obviously it’s boomer humor and is by that nature painfully unfunny. But there’s also always this confusing conflict of ideology within the culture of people who would enjoy this shit. Like they feel like boobies and peeing in a beer can is the most inappropriate risqué stuff they could ever fathom. While at the same time living their lives on a regular basis perceiving the world through racist stereotypes and judgments of people they’ve zero experience with. It’s all too common around here.
@@kylecook7187 shane Gillis live in Austin is by far the best kick I got outta special but it was in 2021. If you could recommend some I'd greatly appreciate it
@@boutaba16Your comment is a year old, and the special may be two years old now, but if you've not seen it James Acaster's Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 is spectacular.
I love how you compare this special to some Lovecraftian horror, and the drawing of Jeff makes it look like he's slowly washing over with some sort of existential dread lol well done
OK beige… I’m a fan of your channel. After hearing your intro in this video about how Foxworthy‘s new special was like a “Lovecraftian horror“ I thought… Damn, I got to see this. So I went over to Netflix and pressed play. I’m 30 minutes in and I must say that so far this special is straight up folksy, nostalgic and entertaining. Unless he suffers some sort of catastrophic brain injury in the next 30 minutes… I would say you wasted a shitload of time making an Internet doc on who I consider to be a consummate professional and frankly…a national treasure. I’m not sure where you were raised, maybe on a elitist coastal city… But for like 90% of the people in the country… Foxworthy has been extremely relatable and entertaining for several decades now. He was always a guy you could pop in a cassette tape on a road trip with your family and everyone would be laughing and smiling. I’m not really sure what you were expecting from a Jeff Foxworthy comedy special… Not everything has to be edgy and shocking. Is the difference in watching a gaspar noe film and watching honey I shrunk the kids…theres room for both. Im on the toilet right now….
Thanks for the post not that I am a big Foxworthy fan but I have heard from different people who knew and met him that he was a super nice and a good guy. I am originally from East TN so I get Jeff's humor. I have to say I was worried the way this doc was going I thought he might be going through bad times or something. I got to your post and I am taking your word over the content creators.
I honestly don't think it's as bad as gringo papi. Its cringey yeah but totally for a much different demographic than us lol. My old grandma was having the time of her life watching this special
I was seriously thinking about suicide by the time he mentioned the word noose at the end of the jumbled together rant. Great work. I've always enjoyed your vids
I’ll always have a soft spot for Foxworthy because of how funny he was when I was a kid. Plus I appreciate how he doesn’t put his stupid face on every podcast and UA-cam video that will have him.
20 years ago, I would describe Jeff Foxworthy as "inoffensive" Today, that still holds true. It's not my type of comedy, I started watching stand-up with Bill Hicks. But this is not even the worst stuff from the time capsule it was digged up from.
just because its not "offensive" , doesnt mean it cant be funny..... as a matter of fact, I dont even think thers such a thing as an "offensive comedian" ... they dont exist... only stupid audience members... what exactly do you even mean by offensive? swear words? who cares if they use swear words or not it makes no difference... this comment is so confusing... were there other comedians 20 years ago that you actuall would have described as "offensive"?? who were they? Im sure I (and 99.99% of people) would disagree
@@OGRE_HATES_NERDS I mean he’s not even painfully unfunny, and therefore fun to hate on, like Schumer or Schaub. He’s just a hack fraud. Also, go back to reddit
comedians were making jokes about the telephone cord getting tangled up back in the **80s**. I think Seinfeld even did a bit on it. this dude literally made a special just so he could recycle other people's corny jokes from 40 years ago.
@@tomsnowden6201 I’m thinking maybe this was filmed during Covid restrictions? Cause there is just no way this dude isn’t selling out theaters till he dies. In terms of comedy sales he’s still number 1 I think.
The "folding a map" and "not asking for directions" bits were the first jokes I heard on MTV's "Half hour comedy hour" back in 1991 from what were at the time young hip dudes with long hair and blazers with the sleeves rolled up. Foxworthy's evil knows no bounds.
Jeff is a fantastic comedian, a total pro, end of story. I mean, I went to a Billy Joel show last year, and was totally disappointed that he didn’t mumble rap at all, not even one twerk. Totally stuck in the past, what a hack. I have no idea how I was recommended this video, other than watching a lot of comedy, but hillbilly draculer was almost as funny as a bad Foxworthy joke.
Joe: If you had a comedy match with Jeff Foxworthy, how well you think you'd do? Brendan: Straight up comedy? Joe: Yeah Brendan: I think people would be suprised...
I kinda wish Jeff would start saying dicey dicey. "If you think Africa is a country because you can't remember 3rd grade geography, you might be dicey"
I think you could be right about the special being for elderly people. It's the only thing that makes sense. Otherwise it would be rendered complete nonsense.
Jeff is one of those guys who knows his demographic to a T. That doesn't excuse how awful this special was, though. His material has always been corny, pandering, surface-level comedy. However, he at least seemed to put actual effort in his material back then. I decided to revisit his old specials (they're nostalgic for me, unfortunately), and it's very noticable.
I don't like Foxworthy or redneck humor in general but he found his niche and cashed out big, so I can't really hate on the guy. He's in the same class as Yakov Smirnov and Gallagher; boring but inoffensive and harmless "family" comedy.
Good video again. Well done beige. But cmon, it’s Jeff foxworthy This is some throwback comedy. I’d rather listen to hours of his almost funny trite material instead of 1 minute of these amateurs getting Netflix specials
Was Jeff ever funny though? Anytime I have ever heard him mentioned it's about how dry and safe his comedy is. Listening to his material in this video confirms that, and really drives home the point that he has a specific, but significant demographic that has managed to carry his career. This special has an audience, and boomers might actually get a chuckle out of it, so it's still better than "Gringo Papi" because no one in the world actually wants to watch that lol.
This special doesn't have an audience, though. As evidenced by the far that even the trailers bombed on youtube, and it has a combined 14 user reviews across IMDB and rotten tomatoes
@@Zach-bt2ky Yeah, this is for 70 year old Sally and her 83 year old husband Bobby whose grandkids were kind enough to teach them how to use Netflix. They saw the name Jeff Foxworthy, their old addled brains still have enough neurons firing off that they remember watching him in the 90's, they clicked on the special, and they had a grand old time.
This is boring and Foxworthy has lost the major material over the years, likely due to him hosting gameshows and acting in television. I have never found him funny, but compared to douchewaffle Schaub, he may as well be the second coming of Richard Pryor…Being “ironically funny” works in films, like Plan 9 From Outer Space, but it is absurdly ridiculous to think one can do this as a stand up, a form of entertainment which I consider an art form.
I always liked Jeff, but they essentially paid him for past comedic success…let’s you know just how much Netflix can throw down the tubes just to book a name.
Jeff has always had his type of audience and for them he’s great. I’m sure my nana would love the special. I wouldn’t bother watching it. Ron white on the other hand….. Jeff is still leagues above Brendan and he’s actually made a career as a comic.
Naw Jeff always has that boomer energy but he WAS funny, I’ve been watching him for 20 years and this material is definitely lackluster and really really bad, the boomeriness USED To feel like part of the entire bit but now it feels like he’s unaware
@@CHCHA2384 wow. That’s a shame. I get what you’re saying about it feeling like part of the bit. Maybe he was just lazily trying to cash in on the Netflix $$.
Maybe Jeff was thinking, The world needs wholeaome clean comedy. Homie had several people in his ear telling him this was good. He needs to fire those people
Schaub was a fighter trying to get into standup. A lot of standup already is "hey here's a weird thought i had, I'm soo crazy haha." He can be forgiven. But a comic being out of touch is a cardinal sin.
@@raj-cr4nl the same should apply thebln to rappers or musicians who have nothing to say for 30yrs. Its baffling to me that people who aren't the long standing fans of an artist have these takes about the oldies circuit: it's not made for you. Why does Snoop put up the same tired shit over and over? Because his fans will lap it up and hell make money. If Kiss and Metallica can do it, so can established comics. You couldn't pay me enough money to watch Seinfeld on TV or stage but I get that people who watched the show in 90s want to hear more airline peanut jokes. It's like S&M, its not my thing but if two adults get off on it...
Doug benson's doug dynasty is probably the worst special i've ever seen. It's very similar to you'd be surprised. I still remember seeing it like 8 years ago
Jeff is giving his fans exactly what they want, and its actually refreshing to hear some harmless lighthearted humor. He's perfect. And dumping on him is ridiculous, really. This video was a waste of time to watch, and especially make.
I gave this a shot when it first premiered. About 5 minutes in I couldn’t even pay attention. I mean, good for Jeff for having an audience that will still give him their ear but, I would have been happier knowing he left as a great comic instead of re emerging as an absolute shell of himself.
You crazy if you think its worse than schaubs specials, theres actually tons of stuff that is equally this bad from recent netflix or youtube specials. Its just old guy humor
Dont ever fuck with Foxworthy, Pocelain. Or beige whatever your name is. 40 year old joke are hilarious. I just woke up from a coma for 20 years. Who is this Shaub fella? He seems cool, handsome and funny
About 5 to 7 years ago my wife and I won tickets on the radio to see Foxworthy. We figured why not. Let's have the grandparents watch the kids and have a night out. His closing bit that night and in this special are the same, about Larry the Cable Guy and being locked out of his room. So yeah, recycled material.
Foxworth might have been ripping off old Tom Myers bits. For those unfamiliar, Myers has multiple comedy specials that would rank at about the same level of anything put out by Schaub, Schumer, or Foxworthy. I was gonna recommend Beige cover him, but Nick Mullen and the Cumtown crew have done a fair job of that already, with the added bonus of having interacted with the hack directly. Although, if you read this Beige Frequency, I would gladly hear your takes on Tom Myers anyway.
@@BeigeFrequency I didn't realize until I searched after I posted, but Who Are These Podcasts also did a fairly thorough roasting of him, starting with his godawful podcast, and then getting into his equally bad standup. So he's been pretty well covered already. I still find his level of obliviousness fascinating, though.
Jeff Foxworthy has never been laugh out loud, gut busting hilarious to everyone. He's always had his niche- older country folks. It's not modern or edgy, but it's inoffensive and He's a pro at cadence and delivery. Guarantee that those aunts, uncles, and grandparents who post those cheesy "glitter" gifs on Facebook that say "if you need a hug, share".... the ones who post tweety bird and minion "memes".... this is their shit! There are far worse- Schaub and Schumer are still worse.
Look...I thought it was me but this was very much not like his old material. I really like Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, etc. But this just wasn't funny. I don't however think it's near as bad as gringo papi or the absolute blackhole of Amy Schumer. It's not good. But it's not The Leather Special
Have you listened to the leaked audio from Stuttering John's last fiasco of a stand-up show? There you have your new standard to fall to. It's so bad John should be literally charged with fraud for charging money for that garbage under the guise of 'stand-up comedy'.
@@Kolamite78 I don't remember. The scumbag probably has it taken down. But you can watch a very funny take-down of it at: ua-cam.com/video/ICVGuPdnroI/v-deo.html Strap yourself in. John has been doing stand-up (sporadically, it has to be said) for 20 years. He's been doing this same material for a good chunk of that time.
Maybe I should have made this point clear in my video, but I thought I have explained my position on this in other reviews I've made: I find being boring to be a far bigger comedic sin than fumbling through a bit like Schaub does. Jeff has multiple bits on this special that go on for 3, 5, 10 or more minutes with virtually nothing remotely funny. Again, at least Braindumb is ironically funny.
I would watch cringe comedy like Gringo Papi ironically any day over this humorless nonsense
This is purely subjective. Some people genuinely find Shane Gillis boring.
no, youre wrong. my grandpa laughed. therefore, it was funny. 8/10
I fully agree
I can watch Foxworthy's special and not enjoy it but I CANNOT PHYSICALLY FINISH A SCHAUB SPESHUL
@@nigafaka Of course it's subjective lol
This is just church humor. He’s like the “funny” pastor that tells a few funny stories during his sermons and makes the old folks feel good. He could live well just touring mega churches in the south for the rest of his days

Good call
I mean hes found his audience, I can't even knock it, really.
Slightly edgy pastor humor. That's exactly what this is

Idk man, Jeff has the perfect set for people like my family. They only like talking about the same 5 things for over a decade and still laugh at jokes theyve heard 500 times since the 90s. Anything more unique and they're confused and you're weird.

Being from Texas, his comedy sounds exactly like one of my older relatives telling a mundane, overly specific, unfunny story at a family gathering
Where half the "story" is them trying to remember what month and year that happened

I can assure you, he wrote that Ron White joke years ago, it killed on minor shows, so he put it in the special due to a lack of material. As an aspiring comedian, I see people do stuff like this all the time, I do it with my sets sometimes when I don't have enough new material.

@@SunTzuMedia in the comments, obviously 😂
@@dgillian183 "Bah-dum tssssss..."
I can assure you he has ghostwriters and that he adds things like this to give it a personal touch. He hasn’t had a solid 15 of original material since he started.
The problem with this special is it's just the laziest shit from his routines in the 80s and 90s, and what was funny and fresh 30 or 40 years ago is woefully dated now. The fact that there's a "participation trophy" joke is just baffling, because that was a trite observation even way back then. It's like having jokes about car phones and fax machines, just wildly out of touch and delivered like he's dropping bombs about modern society.
"It's like having jokes about car phones and fax machines" is exactly what I thought about this special.
he was doing jokes about smartphones in the 80s and 90s? what an absolute genius you must be

I'm not a comedian, but I feel like "back in the good ol days" would be a better joke start if it was juxtaposed with dark humor.
Yeah, seriously missed opportunity. Those O&A bits about how crazy the '50s were are still great 20 years later. Could actually criticize modern times along with the "good old days" by highlighting how problems/dangers have simply shifted (ie. less lead exposure now but more exposure to microplastics).
@@seth5143 Ooh! You could tie the lead thing into a "kids nowadays are so sensitive" joke, too. Seems like this sort of thing writes itself, really.

Need to listen to more Weird Al. The final song off his “Even Worse” album is literally called “The Good Old Days” wherein the narrator is a psychopath reminiscing about torturing animals, burning down buildings, and other shit.
It’s darkly hilarious and very messed up.
I'm not a Foxworthy fan AT ALL, but this is not worse than Schaub. Foxworthy at least has the rhythm, the cadence of a professional comedian. If a joke is otherwise worthless, it still goes down better with a good delivery. Sorry, but this isn't worse than that. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I definitely agree. He at least sounds like an experienced comedian. There will be people that find his topics relatable or funny and him being able perform a good delivery will be good in that case. Even if you found Brendan’s topics funny his delivery and cadence make it impossible to find it hilarious. I think all you have to do is look at the comments under both specials. Jeff’s has a bunch of people saying they enjoyed it and Brendan’s is just people shitting on him non stop. Even IMDB rating is way higher which tells you at least someone is finding this watchable
I agree. His comedy isn’t for me but it’s definitely better than schaub. I think Foxworthy’s comedy is directed at boomers and well….a dumber crowd? 🤷🏻 I don’t think he’s ever done anything worse than Schaub tho lol.
It's just how boring it is, you can't get any kind of laughs from it
Schaub has been a comedian for like 6 years, Foxworthy opened for Pompei Magnus in Rome.
I think there's quite a bit of hair splitting here. Like, yea we all know Schwabb has always sucked, but Foxworthy can at least pass as entertainment for a certain retarded middle aged demo that extends to the almost dead, life long smoker baptist demo. Given the parlance of his time, of course. You gotta have a frame of reference. Brandon doesn't have the benefit of the "You might be a redneck" confidence that Foxworthy presents. He tries to be cool and fails miserably and fails to capture an audience in that way. There was a time when Billy Bass, the singing as seen on TV fish was a big thing as well as Billy Bob teeth, and WWJD bracelets. I'm almost 37, if you're 5 years or more younger than me, you gotta believe me, Foxworthy was a fucking rockstar level comic. Top of the heap. To even have to argue semantics against a total tallywhacker like Brandon the Retard is a point for the author of this comment. Is Foxworthy better? I mean..do you want to hear either, ever? No. And has Foxworthy always been terrible? yea, he has. So, there is a line to be drawn here.
I'll never understand "my spouse" humor. Like, if you dislike your wife so much and find her so annoying, why do you remain married to her?
And, on that note...if your husband makes a career out of disrespecting you and making fun of you in front of an audience of strangers every night, why do you remain married to him?
because it's all made up and I'm sure she's in on it
Depends on the act and the relationship. It’s healthy for couples to laugh together about their quirks. The overall premise structure is something that can be super relatable to audiences when properly crafted.
Coz he's fucking loaded, that's why.
This is the ultimate boomer comedy, like watching your boomer uncle get up on-stage to do improv at the local podunk talent show. It's not Schaub levels of bad (flubbing lines, general offensiveness, incessant fake laughter), but it feels kind of embarrassing in it's own way.
What the hell could be considered "offensive" material in this special? It was just extremely boring, which is the worst thing a comedy routine can possibly be.

For future reference, parentheticals generally refer to the subject directly proceeding them, not whatever you randomly decide to assign them to.
Especially considering how clownish the world has become, you could do a 'good old days' routine that goes a lot harder than participation trophies and smart phones.
That's the shameful part, he could've said something genuinely incisive but he took the boomer way out.

There’s a reason Jeff teamed up with others back in the day. Ron carried the crew. Even back in his prime, it was the group moments that were funny, mostly because of Ron and Cletus.
Long before blue collar, Jeff was the top seller, the top ticket mover, and the commodity for television. Dude is a Rushmore head in terms of comedy careers.
@@theneonfalcon3650 Probably the top grossing comedian of the 90’s outside of maybe Jerry Seinfeld. He was huge.
This is just Jeff’s brand of comedy, his specials have always been like this. It’s just like if Netflix put up a new Dice Clay special, you know what to expect.
I saw Dice 6-7 years ago and he was really good. He did his newer matured comedy for the whole show and then came out to do the nursery rhymes as his encore. He has definitely still held onto the Dice persona, but a granddad Dice now.
Jeff’s brand of comedy is the furthest thing from comedy. Therefore, it’s fair game to call it garbage.
"His specials have always been like this" bro this is his first solo special in 24 years. How old are you
If it's on Netflix it's going to be low quality and cheap. I will never ever pay for Nefilix ever again after the mike tyson, jake paul scam. I don't get people that do. The only thing worse than foxworthy's standup is neflix. Netflix hasn't been good since 2009. Being a netflix subscriber in 2025 is kind of cringy as hell.
That's a shame. I never felt Foxworthy was laugh out loud funny, but I always considered him to be a likeable guy, if not corny. It's disappointing to see Jeff call it in like that.
Always viewed him as a Dominick Cruz type of douche!
What does "likeable" have to do with "funny"? You watch comedy shows and go "gee I hope he's a likeably friendly guy".
That's usually how I pick what surgeon I go to, I look up how slick their Nike collection is on instagram
@@dissraps I didn't say being likeable has anything to do with being funny. I'll also readily acknowledge that all it does is create a prejudice to want someone to do well, and it's disappointing when they don't. It's as simple as that.
@@dissraps so unnecessarily aggressive lol
I may not be the audience for this, but Jeff seems like a cool dude and perfect for his niche audience
You keep referring to 2009 but Jeff Foxworthy hit his stride in the mid 90s and hasn't progressed since, and that's coming from a lifelong fan of Jeff Foxworthy.
That's the point. He somehow managed to steal dated material that wasn't even part of his wheelhouse
i grew up in a rural area and the blue collar comedy tour was beyond huge when it came out in 2003, and people would constantly quote it in school. i think that's the last time i saw Jeff
Jeff and his crew had a great run back in the day, at one point I'm pretty sure he made more money than any other comedian at the time. He should have taken it for what it was, a great bit to do AT THE TIME. It was inoffensive humor for Midwestern Dads and grandparents. Home improvement was on TV and a few beers and a Foxworthy special was a great night for some 40 yrold dude in the 90s.

YES! I'm glad to see that you, me and, well, everyone else who watched are pointing out this obvious fact: Foxworthy is stale and banal, but he isn't awful. I wouldn't cross the street to watch him for free, but others are much worse.
While I wouldn't say it was totally undeserved, I do agree there are almost certainty more deserving targets. The thought that kept occurring to me was that this comedy was probably perfect for Foxworthy's fanbase, or what's left of it, anyway.

Not only are these jokes weak and woefully outdated... I'm almost positive that the vast majority of these were just plucked out of his old routines through the past couple of decades with the "good ol' days" tag slapped onto them. I most definitely haven't wasted my time viewing this special, but I'm almost positive that I've heard most of these jokes before... so he's either rehashing his own archaic material or he's stealing ancient jokes from other comics. And honestly, I'm not too sure which of those is more pathetic.
That's basically what Seinfeld did with his.

As a central Texas resident I can say, this is definitely the over sanitized dreck that is super common among the southern Christian (but also coincidentally very racist) crowd. Obviously it’s boomer humor and is by that nature painfully unfunny. But there’s also always this confusing conflict of ideology within the culture of people who would enjoy this shit. Like they feel like boobies and peeing in a beer can is the most inappropriate risqué stuff they could ever fathom. While at the same time living their lives on a regular basis perceiving the world through racist stereotypes and judgments of people they’ve zero experience with. It’s all too common around here.

OK beige… I’m a fan of your channel. After hearing your intro in this video about how Foxworthy‘s new special was like a “Lovecraftian horror“ I thought… Damn, I got to see this. So I went over to Netflix and pressed play. I’m 30 minutes in and I must say that so far this special is straight up folksy, nostalgic and entertaining. Unless he suffers some sort of catastrophic brain injury in the next 30 minutes… I would say you wasted a shitload of time making an Internet doc on who I consider to be a consummate professional and frankly…a national treasure. I’m not sure where you were raised, maybe on a elitist coastal city… But for like 90% of the people in the country… Foxworthy has been extremely relatable and entertaining for several decades now. He was always a guy you could pop in a cassette tape on a road trip with your family and everyone would be laughing and smiling. I’m not really sure what you were expecting from a Jeff Foxworthy comedy special… Not everything has to be edgy and shocking. Is the difference in watching a gaspar noe film and watching honey I shrunk the kids…theres room for both.
Im on the toilet right now….
Thanks for the post not that I am a big Foxworthy fan but I have heard from different people who knew and met him that he was a super nice and a good guy. I am originally from East TN so I get Jeff's humor. I have to say I was worried the way this doc was going I thought he might be going through bad times or something. I got to your post and I am taking your word over the content creators.

Gringo papi is still worse 😂

Jeff is a fantastic comedian, a total pro, end of story. I mean, I went to a Billy Joel show last year, and was totally disappointed that he didn’t mumble rap at all, not even one twerk. Totally stuck in the past, what a hack.

I think you could be right about the special being for elderly people. It's the only thing that makes sense. Otherwise it would be rendered complete nonsense.
Well no fucking shit. He’s old. He’s doing the same type of comedy he’s always done. Why would you expect something different?
The gross thing is how much money he was able to make from a completely mediocre display. Millions of dollars
Jeff is one of those guys who knows his demographic to a T. That doesn't excuse how awful this special was, though. His material has always been corny, pandering, surface-level comedy. However, he at least seemed to put actual effort in his material back then. I decided to revisit his old specials (they're nostalgic for me, unfortunately), and it's very noticable.
When you asked us to guess the password, I did not expect to actually guess the password first try lol
I don't like Foxworthy or redneck humor in general but he found his niche and cashed out big, so I can't really hate on the guy. He's in the same class as Yakov Smirnov and Gallagher; boring but inoffensive and harmless "family" comedy.
Good video again. Well done beige.

Was Jeff ever funny though? Anytime I have ever heard him mentioned it's about how dry and safe his comedy is. Listening to his material in this video confirms that, and really drives home the point that he has a specific, but significant demographic that has managed to carry his career. This special has an audience, and boomers might actually get a chuckle out of it, so it's still better than "Gringo Papi" because no one in the world actually wants to watch that lol.

Back in the good old Days we watched old Richard Pryor and George Carlin comedy shows.
Back in the good old days, Carlin was still alive and putting out some of his best material.
This is boring and Foxworthy has lost the major material over the years, likely due to him hosting gameshows and acting in television. I have never found him funny, but compared to douchewaffle Schaub, he may as well be the second coming of Richard Pryor…Being “ironically funny” works in films, like Plan 9 From Outer Space, but it is absurdly ridiculous to think one can do this as a stand up, a form of entertainment which I consider an art form.

How would you fuckin know what Jeff fucking Foxworthy has done in his entire god damn lifetime??
Jesus christ, I'm not putting him down lol
@@BeigeFrequency emotional creature, this Tom N guy is.
You crazy if you think its worse than schaubs specials, theres actually tons of stuff that is equally this bad from recent netflix or youtube specials. Its just old guy humor
Dont ever fuck with Foxworthy, Pocelain. Or beige whatever your name is. 40 year old joke are hilarious. I just woke up from a coma for 20 years. Who is this Shaub fella? He seems cool, handsome and funny
Each video your digital painting gets better
Still better then Brenda Schuab
we need better out of these 'comedians' jeff is supposed to be a legend.
About 5 to 7 years ago my wife and I won tickets on the radio to see Foxworthy. We figured why not. Let's have the grandparents watch the kids and have a night out. His closing bit that night and in this special are the same, about Larry the Cable Guy and being locked out of his room. So yeah, recycled material.
Foxworth might have been ripping off old Tom Myers bits. For those unfamiliar, Myers has multiple comedy specials that would rank at about the same level of anything put out by Schaub, Schumer, or Foxworthy. I was gonna recommend Beige cover him, but Nick Mullen and the Cumtown crew have done a fair job of that already, with the added bonus of having interacted with the hack directly. Although, if you read this Beige Frequency, I would gladly hear your takes on Tom Myers anyway.
Tommy is ridiculous, but he likes copyright striking people lol
yeah what, did she get a bong hit transplant?
@@BeigeFrequency I didn't realize until I searched after I posted, but Who Are These Podcasts also did a fairly thorough roasting of him, starting with his godawful podcast, and then getting into his equally bad standup. So he's been pretty well covered already. I still find his level of obliviousness fascinating, though.
Jeff Foxworthy has never been laugh out loud, gut busting hilarious to everyone. He's always had his niche- older country folks. It's not modern or edgy, but it's inoffensive and He's a pro at cadence and delivery. Guarantee that those aunts, uncles, and grandparents who post those cheesy "glitter" gifs on Facebook that say "if you need a hug, share".... the ones who post tweety bird and minion "memes".... this is their shit!
There are far worse- Schaub and Schumer are still worse.
When you said you might review this unholiness back in the Gringo Papi vid I thought you were bluffing...
I’m mad I guessed the club house password. Haha
Look...I thought it was me but this was very much not like his old material. I really like Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, etc. But this just wasn't funny.
I don't however think it's near as bad as gringo papi or the absolute blackhole of Amy Schumer. It's not good. But it's not The Leather Special
Jeff is an all time great. One bad special could absolutely NEVER taint his legacy.
I agree. Jeff spent half his career being corny but he delivers stuff very well. And I rather watch a comfy corny Foxworthy than 90% of comedians.
And its not even bad
Have you listened to the leaked audio from Stuttering John's last fiasco of a stand-up show?
There you have your new standard to fall to. It's so bad John should be literally charged with fraud for charging money for that garbage under the guise of 'stand-up comedy'.
REALLY? Where can I find it ??
@@Kolamite78 I don't remember. The scumbag probably has it taken down. But you can watch a very funny take-down of it at: ua-cam.com/video/ICVGuPdnroI/v-deo.html
Strap yourself in. John has been doing stand-up (sporadically, it has to be said) for 20 years. He's been doing this same material for a good chunk of that time.
@@RolandDeschain1 gotcha.....
This is a comedy special for rural people that never advanced beyond VHS.
Still killing the game! Glad to have you back!
Not really.
