YMMV / Bill Engvall

• Just Here for Godzilla: There's only one reason anyone still watches The Bill Engvall Show — and it's not Bill Engvall himself.
• Memetic Mutation: "Here's your sign" has become synonymous with the Ask a Stupid Question... premise and spawned many imitators.
• Retroactive Recognition: Made memorable guest appearances on Designing Women and Golden Palace in the early 1990s before he reached fame on the stand-up comedy circuit.
  • The Bill Engvall Show is better remembered as the starting point for Jennifer Lawrence than for anything related to Engvall himself.
  • Although it is worth noting that the role of the wife on The Bill Engvall Show was played by Nancy Travis, who later played the role of the wife on the Tim Allen vehicle Last Man Standing, suggesting strongly that she Has a Type.
• Values Dissonance: In 1998, the second half of the "T-Ball and Indian Guides" segment on Dorkfish, where Bill recalls him and his son taking a course on Native American culture from a guide who is Camp Gay simply because he's from Hollywood, would have read as an Awkward Father-Son Bonding Activity. But Bill's overbearing gay stereotypes (joking that said guide's Native American name was "Dances with Men" and that since he obviously didn't have a son, he brought his nephew "Flaming Bow"; that their course involved listening to Barbra Streisand instead of re-enacting Custer's Last Stand; or "Dances with Men" warning his troop of the pink rattlesnake, which Bill claims is identifiable because it hisses with an effeminate lisp) can nowadays come off as offensive to both the LGBT community and the Native American community.
• What Could Have Been: Had The Bill Engval Show not been canceled after 3 seasons Bill didn't expect Jennifer Lawrence to stick around much longer than that knowing that she would be moving on to bigger things
