History Creator / LarryTheCableGuy

His comedy? Well, it's very informal, very crass, and certainly immature. Jokes about fat people, lesbians, handicapped people, disabled people and, of course, a healthy dose of ToiletHumor... most often followed with a JustJokingJustification. Although he has his share of detractors, Larry has proved to have a non-trivial fan base; his first three albums are certified gold, and he had the cachet to voice a character in a Creator/{{Pixar}} film. He also began a show called ''Only in America'' on Creator/TheHistoryChannel in 2010.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Larry's books are filled with spelling errors as a form of StylisticSuck, but he will also launch into surprisingly [[ShownTheirWork well-researched]] arguments about things that bug him. He even explained Darwin's theory of Natural Selection properly. He is also one of the highest celebrity winners on ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader''

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His first major-label album (he had a couple independent ones prior to that) has a "Toddler Mail" segment and a musical track (featuring [[Music/{{Creed}} Mark Tremonti]]), neither of which he did again. Also, his voice was less gruff.

* JustJokingJustification: "Lord, I apologize" is one of his ways to assure his listeners that he is only joking. He often adds, "Be with the starvin' pygmies down in New Guinea. Amen."

Larry has also starred in the movies ''Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector'', ''Film/DeltaFarce'' (which also starred Engvall) and ''Witless Protection'', but is probably best known for voicing the tow truck Tow Mater in Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' movies and shorts. He has also written a book called, unsurprisingly, ''Git-R-Done''.

* MiddleNameBasis: ''Larry'' is actually a diminutive form of his middle name, Lawrence.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: He did a routine where he translated ''Twas The Night Before Christmas'' into PC-speak. [[SantaClaus Non-denominational Holiday Figure]]'s trademark "ho ho ho" was replaced with "lady-of-the-evening lady-of-the-evening lady-of-the-evening."

Daniel Lawrence Whitney (born February 17, 1963), better known by his stage name "Larry the Cable Guy", is an American comedian and actor. He's known for his ragged, sleeveless appearance, as well as for his cartoonish, exaggerated Southern drawl. He is a member of the Series/BlueCollarComedy Tour, a comedy troupe that also comprises Creator/JeffFoxworthy and Creator/BillEngvall. Creator/RonWhite was also a fourth member of this motley crew, but dropped out amicably in late 2007 due to creative differences.

* {{Dissimile}}: "I met this gal a while back, looked like Music/ShaniaTwain. Only a little shorter and, uh, the face was different. I was drunk, she looked like Shania Twain."
