Gamertag - Rdog 11

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

I'm flipping channels right now ... I found Duck Dynasty on A&E. I've noticed that literally 4 out of 5 sentences they say are attempts to be funny. They act like idiot rednecks, when I know that they have at least some intelligence.

Which makes me arrive at my question - is this show supposed to be entirely scripted like a sitcom, or is it actually a reality show? I really can't tell the difference. You can tell some scenes are clearly scripted, and the acting is cringe-worthy.

I don't watch a lot of reality TV. I've watched Pawn Stars a few times because my friend likes it, and I've noticed that they have a lot of scripted scenes in that show too with the aim of being funny. The acting is a little better though.

I think they're funny, and really witty/intelligent. The redneck trope they play really masks their cunning well in my opinion.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

The producers add in some attempts to be funny, but the people on that show are really that redneck. You'll meet a lot of people like that in certain areas of the South.

I live in Tennessee, so I know what you mean. I'm just thinking you don't get rich if you're an idiot like they appear to be.

And I don't like the bad acting.

I don't know. There are people that appear to be dumb, some might even really be dumb, that have made inventions that either revolutionized something and/or made them rich. The bad acting is annoying though.
