Ive only seen them on a hunting shows before but they seem to be themselves on there. Im sure some stuff is done for the camera or at least encouraged by them

 

You shoulda grown up down here, we have our own language...................

People like that do actually exist and yes that is how some of them talk.

 

But is it a wee-bit exclusive to the point of being forced ? :xeye:

It just sounds like it to me

 

Oh yeah? Yous can take the 242 ova deya an hit da B-line back to wherever da hell yous came from. How is it my fault yous can't speak English, eh?

Maybe some kind of Yiddish?

Fershigina shalack verclempt hershigina whooock patueey.

Lols.

Sound forced?

The script itself may be formulaic and the characters may be showboating some as well. The colloqial accent, however, does not to me appear forced in any way on that show. In fact, it seems very tame for Louisiana. I have in mind a cartoon perhaps, of Cajun dialects - French Boomhauer. Those duck guys must be from the northern parts of the state, or they are city river folk.

Exhibit A, Cajuns:

 

Maybe some kind of Yiddish?

Fershigina shalack verclempt hershigina whooock patueey.

Lols

Close -- very close

At least Cajun has a french twang to it

 

That state alone has about 4 dialects and maybe more. I've met and hunted with them and while they are cut ups most of what I've seen they are playing up for the show. They are actually some pretty smart guys in the real world. The dumb stuff they pull is another case of what sells so they do it.

 

I know it is the best comedy show I have seen in at least a decade !

Love the show. Apparently Phil is rather educated, masters degree and all. According to this article, had he stayed with football, we wouldn't even know Terry Bradshaw.

 

Worked with an older gentleman who played High School ball in Shreveport Louisiana and later played in college with the Late Great Joe Delanney. According to him, yes had Phil stayed with football terry bradshaw may not have gotten his due accliam.

also according to him Phil is the same in real life as he is on the show.

SI, his brother is the same, AKA coon ass dumb.

 

At first I thought it would just be the Kardashian's in cammo and facepaint or the Duck Commander with money. But, it is a pretty interesting show, but many of these shows get stale quick.

 

They are from Monroe area way up in North Louisiana which might as well be lower Arkansas. Folks up there are rednecks not Cajuns. I do like uncle sy though.

 

Have you kids ever heard of a place called the 'Nam?

Old thread but I just watched the show and these guys crack me up. Scripted or not, this is one very funny show! Uncle Si is the new Yogi Berra.

 

no gators like the other shows .... gators are the best part .... been thinking of shipping one to that ass at Red Jacket

 

"HEY JACK" are you jelly?

 

I am stealing this pic, thanks :

 

I love the show. It reminds me of my family, just without the money. Phil is actually an old time baptist preacher. Pastors a small local church.

 

I like's me some southern cliches!

 

Tonight is the CHRISTMAS SPECIAL if anyone is interested.
Si dresses up like an elf! :

Faith, Family, Huntin'
Good folks in my book!
:thumb:

 

watching tonight! One of my favorite guilty pleasure cause they make me laugh!

 

 

Here is a brief interview from OL. I like the show myself.

http://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/hunting/2012/10/my-ol-duck-commanders

 

Duck Dynasty got one of my friends into firearms. I had took him shooting a couple of times and he had no interest in guns. He starts watching DD and next thing I know he is buying camo ball caps and flannel shirts. He asked me to go to the gun store to buy his first rifle a couple of weeks ago. He wants a camo shotgun now. He is posting 2A stuff on his facebook page now and gets to experience his first gun show this weekend. The gun thing must of got him to thinking and after Sandy hit he started talking about becoming better prepared for emergencies. He knows I am into firearms but has no idea about my prepping.

 

DD

For the most they are real like one of the post said the words might be scripted but they act like that! How do i know? ?? Delhi, LA born and raised moved off a few years ago thats 40 miles east of Monroe/west monroe and its said munrow. i grew up doing a lot of the same stuff they do on the show. We usally make a trip down twica year to do some frog hunting and chase swamp rabbits. The only thing i can say is the money keeps the gamewardens off your back

 

live in the same town as them .. have met most of them on several occasions .. i will say some of it is show ... for the camera ... but some of it is honest ... either way very intelligent business minded for the most part .. but they know what makes money.

 

And -- yep -- I started watching it - regularly :thumb::thumb:

 

Woo Hoo. Another convert. :thumb:

Love the show. Not many things on tv make me really laugh, but Uncle Sy tickles my funny bone almost every show. :::

Happy, Happy, Happy

 

I even like every shows ending ---

 

ick!~ .... watching it is about like having to drive past their restaurant every day .... >.<

 

Yep,
When my daughter first told me about the show, I said
"I ain't watching no stupid show about a bunch of dumb ass long haired bearded rednecks from loosyana!'

I watched a few minutes of it one day just to see what she was talking about and have been watching it ever since!

Reminds me a little of how watching the Andy Griffith show used to make me feel.
Kinda like there was still some good folks left in the world.

Couple of my favorite quotes:

"Thank God the government shutdown is over so we can finally get back to the government let down!" - Phil

"I've been showing up late and dirty my whole life." - Jase
