Os Reis dos Patos

I just love this show. It sprouts more hilarious truisms than Shakespeare on a bad day. Personally, I block out the smoopey last minutes of the show, but the rest of it is sheer poetry. I come from redneck roots and have a deep respect for southern humor. This is redneck reality at its best.

Si is my personal favorite. His turn as Santa's Christmas elf will never be forgotten. "You want somethin' done right, hell, don't come to me!" is one of my favorite lines from the whole series. When the little boy asked Santa for an art set because he wanted to be an artist, Si the Angry Elf retorts, "Hell, they ain't no money in that." The sisters-in-law womenfolk stuff gets old, because they don't have the Robertson gift for snark, but Miss Kay is definitely cool. The Robertson men are nothing short of mythic in stature.
