Product Description
Git-R-Done is chock-full of fart jokes and straight talk about America. I sat down one day and said to myself, “Larry, you’ve done it all. You’ve got three gold records, a successful DVD, a hit TV show, a picture of Shania Twain givin’ ya the finger, and most important, the high score on Frogger. What more could you possibly do?” Then I started thinking about writing a book. I wanted mostly to write Git-R-Done for all those good Americans who just wanna laugh like I do.
Come on inside and hear me make fun of Janet Reno, Rosie O’Donnell, and my fat sister, who caused a twelve-tray pileup in front of the caramel nut rolls at the country buffet. I’m gonna tell you why Dick Trickle is my hero, why we need to get back to good ol’ common sense, and why I prefer a picture of the Last Supper with NASCAR drivers as the disciples over just about anything.
Lord, I apologize!
The book will go down in history as one of America’s most important events since the breakup of Aldo Nova. Even my mom liked the book—here’s what she said: “There’s really not much I can say here except for I apologize to everyone ahead of time for the crap you are about to read.” Git-R-Done is just plain funny, I don’t care who ya are!

 Stereotype, 2008-06-21
This book is so boring. He tries too hard to pile up the stereotypes. Also, I don't dig all the racism, anti-immigration, jesus freak all-American whatever masked as patriotism and free-speech. People who actually think this way belong in jail.
I guess rednecks have their own culture and should be respected (hicks are people too); but this is exactly why THEY should be the first ones getting up in arms about Larry the Cable Guy. He's taking their culture, commercializing it, and selling it back to them.

Larry's book is good., 2007-05-14
I'm not the leading authority on comedy, but i did enjoy Larry's book. The one problem i do have is that i hate the word "retard" and this book has that word on almost every page.
But enough of the negative. The book is damn hilarious, and Larry does deserve the fame he's got and is getting. He has worked hard for it, and even his book shows his talent worth.

 It's Comedy. Deal With It, 2007-02-20
The reviewer that wrote that the book is disingenuous must be an uptight New England Liberal or something.
It's COMEDY! It ain't rocket science.
We all know that Larry the Cable Guy's real name ain't Larry. So what? John Wayne's real name was MARION!
The book is hilarious. It's hard to read all at once, though. I had to give my abs some rest from laughing so hard.

Fun for small minds, 2007-02-18
To sum it up quite clearly, I don't like this kind of humor. It's dishonest and "Larry the cable Guy" is closer to the comedy of Andrew Dice Clay than anyone else, and he also claims that the person on stage is not the same as the man doing the show.
Right.
I didn't think it was possible to distill mental retardation and place it into a book, but here it is.
I tried to find out why people thought this guy was funny. I know now. They're stupid. The typical fan of Larry the Cable Guy lacks sophistication and wit, and observations beyond "Okay, I was lying" make thier minds hurt because it requires some thought.
A real waste, unless of course, you like this kind of tripe.

Disingenuous pandering, but hey, private jets need fuel., 2006-11-17
This book was not actually written by "Larry the Cable Guy," but a gentleman named Dan Whitney. Whitney is the human being who plays the character "Larry the Cable Guy" in concerts, movies, TV shows, CDs, and now this book. What Dan Whitney really thinks about anything is up for conjecture, but he certainly knows what he wants people to think his character "Larry the Cable Guy" thinks. In that way, this book succeeds marvelously, it makes fun of all the things Whitney has observed as making LTCG fans mad, and like president they all voted for, he tells them what something is and whether it is good, bad, or funny (i.e., jesus = good, fart = funny, being retarded = funny, not supporting the Bush administration = bad) and requires only confirmation by repetition of the catch phrase title of the book, and purchase of sundry items bearing the same inscription. It is brilliantly targeted and presented for maximum cash-in value, with very little discussion and no thought involved at all. It is the easiest thing in the world to be a Larry fan because you don't even have to know what is funny, good, or bad, just wait for Larry to sum it up in the simplest little joke imaginable. That is because he has calculated that if he talks in a thick southern accent (the origin of which is never revealed because it is an amalgam) people will think "wow, he really must be a down to earth fellow to unabashadly parade his hick background instead of trying to "unhickify" himself to reach a wider audience. The unhickified Dan Whitney was boring and not funny, so he devised the Larry character to play on people who thought a brash, "honest" guy from the south was more funny. It's a beautiful formula, and Larry is a gazillionaire as a result. He may have paid a few visits to a Waffle House to take notes, but you can be assured that establishment does not cater the spread on Dan Whitney's Gulfstream V.
So if you're wondering whether Larry sounds like he's from east Texas, western Louisiana, central Alabama, northeast Arkansas, Northen Florida, southern South Carolina, or smack dab in the middle of Georgia, don't labor too hard, he comes from Nebraska and the accent is fake. Just like all the heartfelt nonsense in this book he is simply describing what he thinks the big fans of LTCG want to hear. So if you want to be told what you want to hear by what is basically a cartoon character, instead of engaging in thought about a real human being, then welcome to the world of Larry The Cable Guy. Just like Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and Jesus, he's not real. Is that un-PC enough for you, Dan?
