History Creator / BillEngvall

* Bowdlerized: Possibly. His reaction to his wife scaring off a prize specimen of a deer the one time he took her deer hunting comes to one of two endings.

* AllMenArePerverts: Used frequently. For example, when his daughter asks him to pick up some Music/BarenakedLadies, many of his "I'm a guy" bits, the sea-shell bikini incident.

Engvall rose to prominence in the 1990s alongside fellow comedian, close friend and labelmate Creator/JeffFoxworthy. The two experienced a second wind of popularity when they partnered with Creator/LarryTheCableGuy and Creator/RonWhite to form the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. He had his own sitcom, ''Series/TheBillEngvallShow'', which aired on TBS for three seasons. The show co-starred Nancy Travis and Creator/JenniferLawrence.

-->And that got me to thinking: ''What'' would be awesome for Bill Engvall? If I left this stage tonight and went back to my hotel room...and Music/ShaniaTwain met me at the door...wearing nothing but a fur coat...and holding a note from my wife that said "Have a good time"...'''that''' would be awesome! It ain't gonna ''happen'', but it would be awesome.

A successful comedian from the state of Texas, '''William Ray "Bill" Engvall Jr.''' (born July 27, 1957) is best known for his "here's your sign" jokes, in which he states that people who ask stupid questions should be given signs so that you know they're stupid. Of course, he has a snappy rejoinder to the stupid questions asked of him.

* CatchPhrase: "Here's your sign."

** Of course, she probably got it from him. After all, he is the guy, according to Jeff Foxworthy, that came up with the idea of unloading a pick-up truck by driving really fast in reverse with the tail-gate down and slamming on the brakes.

* TheEponymousShow: Just like Foxworthy, Engvall had a self-titled sitcom.

* TheDitz: One sign-winner he brings up once asked him, on the first floor of a building, if the elevator he was waiting on went up; he jokingly informs the poor sap that this one goes sideways, and that the "up" elevators are down the hall...as Bill put it:

* ThroughHisStomach: He believes it's "a little further south."

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is terrified of snakes. "They move, but they don't have legs. That ain't natural."

--> If I found a six-inch ''worm'' in my toilet . . . I don't need a toilet anymore. I need a ''new set of underwear'' . . . 'cause I just [[UnusualEuphemism hit a deer]] . . .

And ShaniaTwain met me at my door, wearing nothing but a [[PrettyInMink fur coat]], holding a note from my wife that said "have a good time." ''That'' would be awesome!\\

Also like Foxworthy, Engvall has added game show host to résumé: he took over as the host of Creator/{{GSN}}'s ''Series/{{Lingo}}'' on June 6, 2011.

** Similarly, in one of the shows, Bill tells one of Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck..." jokes. Specifically, "If you've ever opened a beer at a funeral, you might be a redneck." When someone asks if that actually happened, he claimed his Uncle Jack did it. However, he later said that his Uncle Jack told him to take it back because [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne it wasn't at the funeral, it was at the benediction.]]

* NakedInMink: When he was discussing [[YouKeepUsingThatWord the proper meaning of "awesome"]] he brought up what would truly be awesome to him.

-->We could walk into a Chinese restaurant right here in Chicago. And the waiter could have been born here, raised here, went to college here, he has never left the city limits. I'm the idiot that walks in that restaurant and goes [in exaggerated Chinese] "Uh, yes. I'll have fried rice. Egg roll..." And you can see him go "I am so going to spit in your food, I swear to God." And it drives my daughter crazy. 'Cause she goes "why do you do that? That is so insulting to them!"

* ButtMonkey: Bill's wife, Gail, is the butt of many of his jokes almost as much as... well as Bill himself.

* AfraidOfNeedles: In one sketch, he recounts the time he went in for an acupuncture session to see if it would help him stop smoking. His first question to the acupuncturist was "Will it hurt?" Just as she tells him no, he hears a man in another room yelling in pain, an she says that the other man is "a big baby".

* TwerpSweating: One of his skits involves him confronting a teenager who wants to date his daughter, telling him, "I got no problem going ''back'' to prison."

* NoJustNo: The discovery when helping his wife fold laundry:

* NoIndoorVoice: In the aforementioned skit about feminine hygeine products, his son demonstrates this, screaming "HERE'S THE LITTLE GIRL NARROW PADS, DADDY!" in the middle of the pharmacy. Bill then responds, "I appreciate that, son. Listen, I don't believe they [[SuddenlyShouting heard you IN SCOTLAND!]]"
