What I don't understand is why making millions selling duck calls means none of them can buy a razor.

Surprised how many people here like this show.... But I'm one of them. People in the office here talk about it often too.

Honey boo boo for rednecks?

I CAN'T STAND this show.

Just a bunch of lovable religious hippies.

God bless them.

...that honeybooboo thing ISN'T for rednecks? I've seen about thirty seconds, which was about twenty-nine more than I needed to say 'HOLY FUCKING WHITE TRASH.'

I live about 3 hours from the rice/duck capital of the world(Stuttggart, Ar). I've never watched this show aside from a few random clips here and there. The guys are hilarious. If I had a tv/subscription I would watch it more.

Of course, this wouldn't be a real AT thread if a few haters didn't show up.

Also... if you haven't been duck hunting before(real, duck hunting) then you're missing out. Seeing thousands of green heads in one morning is pretty surreal. Then you get to shoot them

I have 2 buddies that guide on the white river, people pay $800-$900 for ONE day to duck hunt. It's ridiculous but they stay booked.

Sorry i tried watching 3 episodes last night after hearing "how great it was". Its typical reality show crap. Sorry. It is stages and phoney as hell.

You didn't read the thread did you? It's not a reality show. We know it's scripted. It'd be like complaining that The Office is phoney and you know it's staged. I'll tell you a secret:
*just because people get "interviewed" as part of the show doesn't mean it's a reality show*

But eh, different strokes.

Phil Alexander Robertson (born April 24, 1946): Created the Duck Commander duck call in 1972, and incorporated the Duck Commander Company in 1973.[4] Phil has become a legend in Louisiana and in the duck-hunting world in general.[5] He played college football at Louisiana Tech University, starting ahead of Hall-of-Famer Terry Bradshaw, and was drafted by the NFL after his junior year. He turned it down and quit football because it interfered with duck season, and he was not interested in having "large, violent… men chasing me trying to stomp me in the dirt".[6] Phil is known for his dislike of modern technology (he proudly admits that he does not own a cellphone or a computer) and his concern that his grandchildren are becoming "yuppies".

Wiki...

Good excerpt from Terry's autobiography:

The quarterback playing ahead of me, Phil Robertson, loved hunting more than he loved football. He’d come to practice directly from the woods, squirrel tails hanging out of his pockets, duck feathers on his clothes. Clearly he was a fine shot, so no one complained too much.

Why should they? They don't work for some pompus asshole or company that makes them shave. I love this show as well. Best thing on tv next to Top Gear BBC.

Never seen it. I don't watch much TV though. I always figured it was hill billies doing stupid shit that is only funny to other hill billies. If it hits netflix instant streaming I'll probably check it out though.

That's what I thought too before I watched it. The guys are all pretty intelligent, and really funny.

words of wisdom from Phil:

"When the almighty made women he made a strange creature. They have to cry to be happy and they all have to go to the bathroom together. I would like to see what they do just to see why it takes all of em to go in there, or I'd like to see what made them cry."

I love Phil's description of women and comparisons to every other thing in the world.

But Hey, the real star of the show is Si. Hey, he's the funniest one to watch even if it is scripted.

Yeah, Phil definitely loves his wife, and you can tell it's completely genuine.

I don't know how the fuck anyone can watch that crap...

Scripted? Of course it is...that's blatantly obvious...but stupid as well.

Wow, I know he seems really smart on TV, but he actually has a Masters in English and taught school besides you know founding his duck call empire.

lol love this quote: “Let’s face it,” said Robertson, “the bar has been set pret-ty low for you to get on American television these days. I think they said, ‘Why don’t we try a functional family,’ and somebody said well, that’s a novel idea. Round here, you know, there’s no outbursts, belligerence, cursing, gettin’ drunk, dope, no, we’re all Godly people, so maybe it’s a little switch for a change. We’re not actually rednecks, but we probably could be called goodoleboys.”
