In DELTA FARCE (2007), "blue collar" comedian Larry the Cable Guy goes to fight in Iraq, but winds up in Mexico. That's right, folks - it's another document from the Bush era. We discuss conservative comedy and touch on the legendary Larry/David Cross feud that tore a nation asunder. PLUS: Luke reveals a traumatic memory involving the Ninja Turtles.

I vaguely remember the whole “David cross versus Larry the cable guy thing” my friends liked cross at the time. I found both to be obnoxious but cross to be the worst. Because cross would be like. “I’m from the south… ok? And I grew up poor ok? And so…. These people are all idiots, they’re all religious and they mix cheap hot dogs with Kraft mac n cheese! They think Jesus is real! They’re disgusting! And it’s like yeesh annoying bald guy we know… we’re trying not to be reminded of it. At least the fat idiot gets in a good racist or fart joke once in a blue moon. I avoided all things larry the cable guy until two months ago where I watched ten minutes of some health inspector movie and it was stupid. But some part making fun of French people made me laugh. David cross never made me laugh.

I haven't seen this movie but your description of it reminds me of debates between left (really liberals) and right about American identity in the 2000s. The right said we need to lean into and celebrate moral simplicity (Legally Blond/Reese Witherspoon set the template), while us libs argued for more "nuance" and complexity. Sounds like Delta Farce was a rearguard attempt to shore up the conservative position past the point it could be maintained. In retrospect both positions were pretty untenable since they were fought self-consciously on the terrain of culture, to the exclusion of politics and ideology.
