Jeff Foxworthy's Comedy Classics
A Look At The History Of Country Comedy
Join renowned comedian Jeff Foxworthy ("You Might be a Redneck if...") as he hosts a hilariously entertaining look at "down home" comedy -- past, present and future. This special tribute traces the roots of this truly American art form, from the storytelling of Will Rogers and the heyday of the Grand Ole Opry, where colorful comic characters like Grandpa Jones, Minnie Pearl and Rod Brassfield became famous household names, to comedy legend Andy Griffith sharing priceless clips and memories from his days as a young stand-up comic and decade-long run on The Andy Griffith Show, to Bill Engvall ("Here's Your Sign"), helping Foxworthy introduce us to some of the funniest comics working today.
Featuring classic and contemporary clips from Don Knotts, Jim Varney, Jerry Clower, Junior Samples, Brother Dave Gardner, Gary Mule Deer, Etta May, Steve McGrew, Larry The Cable Guy and many more. Jeff Foxworthy's Comedy Classics is an uproarious journey that every member of the family will love.

I don't know so much about classics? - Adam_Elvis
It was tough to get into this movie. It was based on many older comedians and there wasn't enough of the true classic lines. The narration was missing something and I don't know it would ever get a hit. Better to wait for Jeff's true stand-up routines to hit the classics wall. Now that would be funny. :)Funny - Bookwyrm
It was great to see some of the vintage comedians making comedy in their prime. A good joke can trancend generations demonstrating that funny is funny no matter when you were born.
The current comedians were a riot. They had me howling with laughter.
