    I sometimes wonder about the Blue Collar Comedy Tour's impact on spectacle. It seemed so popular and there was widespread adoption of catchphrases like "git 'er done" and "you might be a redneck if", but was it genuinely innocent country bumpkin humour that happened to coincide with rednecks becoming a reactionary identity or did it drive reactionary politics like other comedy shows of that era on that same channel targeting that same audience?
