Title: joe-bob briggs greatness on youtube Post by: ToyMan on August 22, 2008, 09:34:22 PM i've started compiling all the great joe-bob briggs clips i can find on youtube. there are a few older ones out there that i haven't added, and that's because i didn't think they were especially interesting. i was saddened to see so few of them online, but there's this one user, laylurikyu, has been posting a bunch of clips lately.
check out my joe-bob briggs playlist- http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=62F4853451F8D802 (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=62F4853451F8D802) Title: Re: joe-bob briggs greatness on youtube Post by: The Dungeonmaster on August 23, 2008, 12:40:26 PM I miss the days of Joe-Bob Briggs. He used to give me something to look forward to on Saturday night.

After being a big fan of his newspaper column, I never took to his screen persona. The writing just wasn't as crisp, and I missed the stable of regular redneck characters like Chubb Fricke, Cherry Dilday, Bubba Barclay, Wanda Bodine, and "Ugly-on-a-Stick." I guess the "real" Joe Bob didn't match the image in my mind. It's too bad his two classic books of drive-in reviews are out of print. You can find some of his later reviews here (http://www.joebobbriggs.com/review.asp). By the end he's stepping out of character far too much; he's more John Bloom than Joe Bob. The best years of the column were 1985-1988. If you haven't caught Joe Bob in writing, you're in for a treat. He's 10x funnier than the Movie Channel stuff.

This guy has a bunch of Commander USA clips: http://www.youtube.com/user/commanderusafan818 Title: Re: joe-bob briggs greatness on youtube Post by: Flangepart on August 26, 2008, 01:34:37 PM As I first learned of Joe-Bob by the Monstervision gig, I did not have the same reaction as Rev. Powell. Like both versions. I just accepted the TV changes as par for the course. Loved the interactions, particulary with a guest who rolled with the set up.
(Sigh) How I miss those drive-in totals. Title: Re: joe-bob briggs greatness on youtube Post by: Scott123 on August 26, 2008, 02:59:56 PM If you want to help bring him back to TNT, take a second and sign this petition ... spread the word. Thanks!
