Controversial drive-in movie critic Joe Bob Briggs, whose real name is John Bloom, created the Briggs persona in a weekly column in the Dallas Times Herald starting 1982. Joe Bob's outrageous comments and national circulation quickly made him a cult hero. In April, 1985, Joe Bob 's column was banned in Dallas and Bloom resigned from the newspaper a few days later. Here Joe Bob performs comedy routines "We Are the World" satire, "We Are the Weird," to "Drive-in Oath," "Two Sisters from Memphis," and others in front of a live audience.
