Bonnaroo: David Cross, Aziz Ansari and Nick Kroll - “You Might Be a Deadneck”

Filed Under Live Events, Stand-Up Comedy

If you’ve ever watched one of the Blue Collar specials, you might remember that Jeff Foxworthy and company all join together on stage at the end for a round of storytelling or catchphrase riffing (some might argue spewing) on Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck.” At this year’s Bonnaroo, David Cross, Aziz Ansari and Nick Kroll did a wonderful parody of the later. Part of what makes this so fun is that though Bonnaroo’s a music festival, it’s one set in the south - Murfeesboro Manchester, TN. So it feels a bit like a mind bomb.

Kroll’s Southern accent is insanely funny but Cross’s is disturbingly accurate. My favorite joke of the whole set: “If the bumper sticker on your Toyota Prius says ‘This Car’s a Faggot’, you might be a Dead Neck.”

A slightly different version of the bit, shot at a second Bonaroo show is after the jump.

Bonaroo is in Manchester, Tennessee, not Murfreesboro.

Trashley - I’m usually good with research, so when I heard David Cross says “Murfeesboro in the house” in one of the Bonnaroo clips - I assumed that’s where it was at. I should have known better. Thanks for the correction.

The reason David says Murfeesboro is because that is where the hotel is that he stayed at (the nearest city, if you can call it a city).

jesus, aziz is terrible.  why did they let him do that bit when he can’t even write a decent joke?

“bad” - I think you’re missing the point of Aziz’s part. The jokes he’s wrote are meant to be overstating the premise over and over again. Now, whether you find it funny or not…

Patton Oswalt goes straight to his demo this weekend, performing in Saturday's closing ceremonies for BlizzCon for players of World of Warcraft. A more perfect nerdgasm I cannot imagine.

Rumor has it Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin may appear on Saturday Night Live. She might play Tina Fey as she appears in the American Express commercials.

New on DVD: the Second Season of 30 Rock and the South Park collection "The Cult of Cartman: Revelations"

Tina Fey will pen a book of humorous essays for Little, Brown & Co. Her deal will involve a donation to the charity Books for Kids (who probably couldn't read Fey's book 'til they're older).

If you're ever driving through Georgia, you may want to stop by the Laurel and Hardy museum in the town of Harlem. Oliver Hardy was born in the town in 1892.
