More Than Hillbilly Jokes

JimHMay 16, 2011

This is a spoof of the Pete Smith short subjects at MGM in which "Pete" (a close sound-alike) narrates a travelogue through hillbilly country. The funniest bits come as the end when a hillbilly boy rebels against the idea of illustrating what "Pete" is describing and "Pete" has to stick his hand into the scene to put the boy in his place. More than the standard mountaineer gags and quite funny in places.
