Johnny Hardwick's comedian's conspiracy loving character Dale Gribble is still just as hilarious even if more Dale Gribble wannabes are running around Texas right now.
is a perfect way to get to know how to survive life in Texas, or at least it was until ... well, everything. Mike Judge and Greg Daniels' animated slice of Texas life bucked the hee-haw, gosh-darnin' stereotypes of Texas that had filled up just about every corner of television. The residents of Arlen may not be real in a tangible sense, but they felt like living, breathing microcosms of the personalities, cultures and families that make our state a wonderful place to call home.
The orange-capped exterminator lived and breathed in a world of conspiracies where every major entity and shadow government is watching all that we say and do. One of the greatest running jokes in TV comedy was Dale's constant unawareness when he thinks he's at the height of his hyper vigilance, a character trait perfectly encapsulated by Dale's son Joseph, who is obviously not his biological offspring.
Hardwick also loved conspiracies, but he seemed to see the inherent absurdity in them even if he believed them. Videos of his stand-up days are hard to find online, but he performed in places such as the famed Velveeta Room on Austin's Sixth Street or on TV'sUFOs and government plots were regular occurrences in his brilliant material, whether he was supporting them or using them to entertain a crowd.
"That was his personality," Falkner says."He's always been funny since he was a kid. His idol was Steven Wright, and in his comedy back in the day, he tried to emulate him. He had this very deadpan humor before it evolved." Hardwick also had a great love of music. Falkner, who is 10 years younger than Hardwick, got to spend time with him at his family's house in the summer because they had a swimming pool. He says Hardwick passed on his passion for music to him by introducing him to things such as The Who'sfilm.
