* GagPenis: During a cruise to Santorini, Greece, he encounters a man that must have had a fully grown squirrel stuffed into his speedo. He meets him again, this time at a nude beach...
** Apparently the squirrel was eaten by an anaconda.
*** NotSoDifferent: If he were in his position, he would've had a frame around it.

(The latter is a possibly unintentional reference to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale Kinsey sliding scale of human sexuality]] developed by sex researcher Alfred Kinsey.)

* DistractedByTheSexy: Ron recounts a set he once performed where a bachelorette party in attendance was goofing around with various penis-themed party favors. Both he and the audience tried to stay focused on the show, until the women began taking turns trying to deep-throat an enormous chocolate phallus, and which point Ron notes "''Nobody's watching me '''anymore'''''."

Added DiffLines:

* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: ''If You Quit Listening, I'll Shut Up'' has Ron assert that he's a "gold star hetero" in that he's never taken any dick. However, he counters this by admitting that it's very likely he got oral sex from a transvestite when he was in the Navy, since he only found out years later that the station near Pearl Harbor has a lot of transvestite prostitutes.


Added DiffLines:

* YouDoNotWantToKnow: ''If You Quit Listening, I'll Shut Up'' features an argument between him and his wife where Ron got extremely angry over his wife spending thousands of dollars to turn a room of their house into a recording studio. Ron doesn't give many details of the actual argument except how it ended.

* TheHedonist: He used to be one: he had a time where he would consume any manner of intoxicant within reach. A stint in rehab helped to mellow him to a point where he still enjoys the sauce and a few substances, but to a level that won't kill him.

* SouthernFriedGenius: Ron could easily qualify for this himself, albeit in an unorthodox manner. While he acknowledges that he is a high-school dropout from the most rural parts of rural Texas (hailing from a town of 400), he is also very eloquent and well-spoken, and is quite progressive on various social issues such as gay marriage and marijuana. He also enjoys fine arts, such as musicals.

He first gained fame in the early 2000s as a member of the Series/BlueCollarComedy Tour, in association with fellow comedians Creator/BillEngvall, Creator/JeffFoxworthy and Creator/LarryTheCableGuy.

* GoodAngelBadAngel: In a skit where he recalls committing an act of infidelity:
-->You know that little guy that sits on your shoulders that reminds you of your prior commitments and your moral fortitude? I didn't hear a peep out of that guy! He hadn't been laid in three months, either! He was speechless for like 20 minutes, then he went, "Suck her titties!" "I was ''gonna''!" Soon as the whole thing's over, he's back at his post: "That was ''wrong'', mister!" I'm like, "20 minutes ago, you were beatin' off on my shoulder, monkey boy!" I fuckin' hate him, man. He smokes pot. He burned a hole in my other jacket. (''beat'') Right before the show.
