Duck Commander 500

All of you hate it, yet you click on the thread when there is no doubt what it is about, and then post about it..

Why does everyone feel the need to tear down something that you obviously don't watch anyway? What does it matter?

So, this is like a Clemson thread then? Therefore, Duck Dynasty = Clemson.

I don't have much of an opinion on the actual people of Duck Dynasty, but the show is absolute crap.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my problem is that the same people who love Duck Dynasty hate the Kardashians and Real Housewife stuff for being "fake." Its the same basic idea behind all of them, one just has subject matter you enjoy. They are all heavily scripted shows that attempt to pass themselves off as reality.

For what it's worth, I love Duck Dynasty and Nascar.......

It's all about having fun......

If you don't like it, no worries......

I'll put my 2-cents worth in ... I love watching Duck Dynasty ... never watched more that 3 minutes of a Nascar race.

Good deal, two Southern brands brought together.

If that's your thing, then yeah, I might be a little too adventurous for you

How adventurous can one be that has 20,000 posts on a single message board?

I just wish I could turn on the TV or walk into a store and not see Duck Dynasty. I also think there should be a law about wearing camo if you don't hunt. Or putting Salt Life stickers on your car if you live more than 2 hours from the nearest ocean.

Good thing creating laws like that is against a document we hold so dearly. Look, Duck Dynasty is doing what anyone on this board would do with what they have, and that is cash in. If you say you would not do what they are doing, your a liar.

I don't recall anyone saying they wouldn't. That doesn't make it any less obnoxious.

Well sure, but if we would all do it, why are we judging? Besides Nascar hasn't been worth a shit in a decade or more, so this shouldn't surprise us.

Yep, there's a lot to despise, right there! Where's my remote?!?!

Participate in a fake TV show that reinforces southern stereotypes and markets itself to the low IQ, mouth breathing segment of the US while being the least funny yet inexplicably most popular show on TV right now. Yes, they suck and I hate them. I hate stupid shit.

Then I guess you hate everything, because from that perspective, everything you don't like is stupid.

We're judging it (primarily) as a TV show/entertainment, not to mention the personality cult that has sort of formed behind it. I'm not the sort that normally goes around hating on crap in a public way (I love a lot of unfashionable stuff, and not "ironically"), but something about the popularity of this show drives me crazy. I get a similar feeling from much of modern pop-country music. Both treat the audience like morons who will consume anything with the right cultural ornaments on it.

An actual sincere documentary about an eccentric southern family might actually appeal to me (the first Dancing Outlaw documentary was great, for instance, although a little exploitive). But, I don't have any interest in watching dudes pretend to be the Beverly Hillbillies. Have y'all seen what these guys look like before the TV producers dressed them in camo and ZZ Top beards? Even if I can't blame them for "cashing in" (I think I can, to be sure), I can still criticize it for being the cynical minstrel show that it is.

[treys1986]

I don't watch Duck Dynasty. I don't dislike them, just have never been interested in the show. Pairing them with NASCAR is a smart move, IMO. Will probalby be a cash cow.

Duck Dynasty has ruined Zaxbys for me ... And that's saying something because Zaxbys is delicious

No I haven't....... why don't you enlighten us?

You do realize it could take several years to grow beards like the ones the have...... what's next, you are going to tell me those are fake?

If you don't like DD or Nascar, I get it....... what I don't get is all the hate.....

The sad thing is, our country was nearly finished with Duck Dynasty, everyone was sick of it, it was fading away, and then that dude opened his mouth and made everyone angry and BAM now we're stuck with it for another year. That's what sucks the most. It was played out BEFORE the guy started opening up his mouth and became a hero for the garbage-eating neanderthal assholes who worship him
