May 29 2009Here's Your Short: Bill Engvall, Gunfighter

The Blue Collar Comedy Tour: it came, it went, it rode again and again until, thankfully, it closed on a third tour-of-duty and its ostensibly lunchpail team dispersed to spread wage-working laughter individually.

Jeff Foxworthy, the patient zero of redneck comedy, famously went on to interrogate adults about their knowledge of elementary school trivia. Larry Cable Guy, meanwhile, has fulfilled his promise to git r done, taking on a movie career that has included providing the voice of Mater in Cars and the voice of bigoted, hilljack ideology in Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, Delta Farce, and most recently Witless Protection, while the lesser known Ron White is apparently busy getting into legal trouble for various smoking-related violations.

Which brings us to Bill Engvall, the comedian whose "here's your sign" routine delivered countless "I'm stupid" signs to anyone who dared ask him a rhetorical question. What's he been up to, aside from his beloved self-titled TBS sitcom? I'm glad you asked! He's in an eight-minute short with Machete's Danny Trejo! And yes, there's a trailer that's nearly a quarter of the length of the film:

Haha! Gotcha! It turns out it's not a drama! Bill Engvall is momentarily naked and has cartoon blinks! But then there's this wistful music sequence, so maybe it's not a comedy? I have no idea. I just know that it gits r done. Here's your sign.
