As a touring stand-up comedian, people often ask me if hecklers bother me. Since I have a Don Rickles predilection to rip said heckler to shreds, it usually doesn't faze me. What does bother me beyond belief is this phrase that's sweeping the nation, Git 'er done. Uttered by comedian Larry the Cable Guy, I would say at one out of every 3 shows, some dlido in the crowd feels the need to yell it out, after one of my punchlines. This phrase magically wrecks momentum faster than bringing in Billy Koch.

Recently I read a posting that the very funny comic, Doug Stanhope wrote to Larry the Cable Guy. I recommend reading the whole post, but it should be noted that his site has adult material on it, so if you punch the link, be forewarned. Go to December 31st post to find letter to Larry the Cable Guy.
Below is one part of this post I think sums up the issue.

To Cable Guy: It's just that, you know me and some of the other guys out there on the road have been having problems with this (pauses and squints) ... "Git Er Done" thing. I mean, no one can blame you for taking the Wal-Mart approach of appealing to the absolute stupidest, water-brained Velveeta cheese flag-monkeys on the planet - no offense - but what you've gone and done is given them something to *say*. Out loud.

It's reached such an epidemic that I'm considering having comedy clubs add it to the list of things they ask the audience not do at the start of shows. (like please keep your table talk down and turning off all cell phones) So in closing, if you are one of those people that needs to constantly say catch phrases like "Alrighty, then" or Been there, done that", please don't add "Git Er Done" to your list. If you are one of these people, let this post be an intervention to helping you stop your destructive behavior, as I can guarantee most people want to strangle you for your catch phrase insanity.
