Git-R-Done
Chock-Full of Straight Talk About America. . . And Some Jokes, Too!
Larry the Cable Guy on . . .
It’s a lotta good old-fashioned fun started by a buncha moonshiners. Just seein’ all the ZZ Top–lookin’ folks drinkin’ beer, havin’ a good time, and not givin’ a darn is awesome. And that’s just the women!
I once went on the “liquid diet.” I was supposed to drink nothin’ but liquids for a week. But I got so drunk and sick of that Jim Beam and Coke, I’ll never drink it again.
Why his catchphrase “git-r-done” is better than other Ya can’t be at a ball game with two outs in the ninth inning and yell to the pitcher “Bounty is the quicker picker-upper!!” It makes no sense. But you could yell “Git-r-done” and everyone would know what you meant.
The red state–blue state Is Dr. Seuss runnin’ the government?
Larry’s mom on Larry’s “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.” —Larry’s mom

Really funny book... I think that people need to read this I really recommend this book to people. Just an outstanding book it was. The text, The humor, and the way he described things. I gave it 5 stars because I like Larry the cable guy overall, and I also like that he described things it was one of the best books I've read this year. If he made any other book I would read any book he wrote.

This book is very funny. I could not stop laughing when he made a sly remark or flat out said some very bad things that I can't list in this review. If you are a faint-hearted or sensitive person this book could very easily offend you. It is not afraid to offend you at all. The first page is full of info that would take me two pages to fill it out. It is very well written and is one of the better books I have read. If you have any extra time on your time, this would be one of my top picks to read.

So I'm a southern girl born and bred and I absolutely LOVE Larry the Cable Guy. So when I heard he had a book out I just HAD to get it no matter how ridiculous it was!!
I knew from the get go it was probably going to be a waste of good brain cells but my curiousity got the best of me.
I have to say (as always) he didn't let me down in the humor department. Of course, it's not exactly the cleanest and most proper but still funny, nonetheless.
If you've got an open-mind and love stupid humor, pick it up!

This was one of my favorite books I've read all year. Git-R-Done was my pick for an Autobiography/Biography, and it was a great pick. This book made it feel like you could see past what people thought of Larry the Cable Guy. This book was really interesting, as you could see how Larry felt (Sort of), and it was extremely funny. This book was both interesting and hilarious, and I would love to reread it someday.

Took me longer than I had hoped for this one and it was a struggle to keep going. It had its moments but I would much rather just listen to him tell his jokes and stories...not one of my favs unfortunately 😏

The first few chapters were good, learning about how Larry the Cable Guy came about and his phrase Git-r-done but the rest of the book was so hard to stay engaged with. Basically scrambled thoughts written down, one having nothing to do with the other. Would not recommend this book. Waste of time

If you like Larry the Cable Guy, you will like this book. If you have no sense of humor, don't bother picking it up. I think he's funny as heck!

At times, I got a really good laugh. The dude is crazy.

Larry uses his brand of humor throughout this book along with a brief history of the character, starting humbly in radio. Just an okay read.

I like Southern humor but not bathroom humor. So ........

This was such a funny book. But it's more for older teens and adults. Due to some of the subject matter. Also if your Liberal then skip the chapter on politics, because he is very concretive. Otherwise the book is really funny and entertaining. If you have ever watched his comedy specials then magnify it by about 100%.

I believe this was the book that finally ended my teenaged Larry the Cable Guy phase, so at least I have that to thank it for.

If you like Larry the Cable Guy, You'll like the book
Larry the Cable Guy is a pretty known quantity. He's a redneck stereotype, who specializes in fart and poop jokes and comes off looking like a rube. That is his shtick and he does it well.
Surprise! If you like Larry the Cable Guy, and millions do, you'll like the book. It mixes some of his comedy shtick with some new material and meanders around known territory.
If you don't like Larry the Cable Guy and you read this book, then ..... surprise .... you won't like the book either. Save yourself some time and then save us the trouble of having to read your whiney review and then mark it as unhelpful.
If you haven't seen Larry's stand-alone routine (not the sanitized short version on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour) then you may find this to be a little "blue" and shocking. Maybe you should listen to his full version before you decide if you will like the book is the only warning I would give.
I actually knew Larry, back in his High School days in South Florida. I found this book hilarious because I was able to read between some of the lines and know the real story.
The truth is Larry is what he says he is. A farm kid from Nebraska who moved south, easily picked up on the red-neck accent and lifestyle. In high school he was a little fat-kid in the band but had a great sense of humor.
Amazing what can happen in life. He's now the hottest thing since sliced bread and in movies, books, shows, he's every-where!
So the bottom line for me is, more power to him. He found a niche. He's filling it and he's successful. God bless him, and God Bless America!
If you like red-necky, dumb-guy type humor buy it. I'm generally a pretty sophisticated guy who reads across the board (see my other reviews for evidence of that.) I liked it as a change of pace. It was what I expected.
If you don't like that kind of humor, don't buy it!
Complaining about it is like buying an apple pie and then suing the baker because you're allergic to fruit! Larry has a more succinct way of saying it.
Exactly what his fans like. If you're a fan buy it and enjoy!

Believe it or not I have been using this book for bathroom reading.. I'm sure Larry would appreciate that.
There is some biographical info in here, but mostly it's just a collection of Larry's humor. As it's broken down into half page paragraphs it's the ideal sort of book to read when you only have a minute or two.
The bio info was interesting. For example, Larry is the only one of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour who isn't from the south and doesn't have a natural southern accent. But, he is the only one who was brought up on a pig farm and is the real deal in terms of being a country boy.
Sadly, like many other books similar books, 90% of this type of humor is in the delivery. Sure there are some funny parts but many of the jokes come across as a bit lame without the comedic presentation. The same jokes told by Larry onstage would be hilarious. It's all a matter of perspective.

Nomrally I like this guy a lot but im not sure what is going here. He complanes about the folks in other countries but dont have any solutions. All he does is complane about a bunch of stupid s*** like that without adding anything else. I mostly like when he makes fun of the wives and stuff. He sometimes reminds me of al bundy except he is hick. Not a real hick but a hollywood hick. Some of the stuff in here was funny but most it is just dumb.

I enjoy Larry's standup and really enjoyed his work on The Blue Collar Comedy Tour movies. Saying that, I didn't enjoy his ramblings in this book nearly as much. Too much bad ranting about politics and not enough humoer.

It was really interesting to learn how Larry the Cable Guy came to be. Once those chapters were done, the book wasn't really that great. I mean, I didn't expect to LOVE the book, but I didn't...I don't even know what I expected. Somehow, the jokes Larry tells aren't as funny written in a book.
August 26, 2016
Just OK. I like Larry the Cable Guy. Sure, he isn't very PC (as he is sure to mention many times in the book), but he makes me laugh. Even so, it turns out that his stand up delivery is much better than on paper. All-in-all, OK.

This is the most embarrassing book I've ever read. So terrible.

I'm not sure why I read this - I'm not usually drunk when I go to the library.
March 10, 2010
Am going through my keepers and decided to give this one to the library. I read in 2005 sometime. It was Ok. What you would expect from Larry the Cabelguy
