Man, I think I've seen this guy before. That scares me a little. What also scares me is how excited I get when I see a "puppet" tag. I know it means pure classy goodness.
Now all of these musicians can retire, having achieved the dream of being introduced to old people by a horror dummy. Some day I hope I can be that lucky.
The man's mouth moves because he is not a ventriloquist. He is a puppeteer. 'Red' is usually sat on a chair or behind a desk. Or filmed from the waist up...Much like the way Muppet's are controlled.
I feel as though I show my age and redneck-ishness by getting all pumped seeing a Shotgun Red video. I used to watch him on Nashville Now, which was a country channel back in the day. There was a Johnny Carson type show called Nashville Now, hosted by Ralph Emery.
There used to be a video on youtube of Shotgun Red doing a Christmas Special. I can't find it now...
Hmmm ... that doesn't quite work, does it? Not as a stereotype or as an acronym. Perhaps there was originally another n-word in there when he first heard that joke he stole.
Ironically, this boat (and the Opry House) is pretty much all that's left of the theme park called Opryland. It was Branson before Branson was!
It was demolished to make way for a massive mall, that was flooded and seriously damaged last year. It is still being rebuilt. Even the TNN channel is long gone, replaced by "Spike TV."
He's not even trying to not move his lips. Or, apparently, be funny. Yeaaaah, dummy!

ReplyDeleteI have just seen the face of Hell. And it bores me.
ReplyDeleteThis single video represents everything this website is about.

poor Red's developed Parkinson's disease...
ReplyDelete"He is a puppeteer."
ReplyDeleteNot really; he ain't doing such a good job with the arms there.
Really, I think he's just a guy with a puppet.

Next time I want to avoid sexual harassment charges, I'll carry a puppet to do all my pick-up lines for me.
ReplyDeleteBut I suppose that'd only work in Shitcago.
