LeAnn Rimes farm comedy
LeAnn Rimes was a singer that was mainly within the country genre, but she also had a lot of success on the pop charts, much like Shania Twain and Taylor Swift. At the height of her popularity, she was to appear on a country comedy/ variety show. It was a bit like Hee Haw or something like that. It was also similar to Saturday Night Live. She would perform some songs and act in some funny sketches. It was also not dissimilar to the old Muppet Show. There was recurring characters on the show as well that would interact comedicly with the guests. Some of them were stereotypes in a Southern theme.
One of the sketches portrayed LeAnn as visiting a farm where some of the characters were meant to live and work. There were running gags on the show regarding the farm. Some of the characters were portrayed as being not very bright. They would always make mistakes that would lead to slapstick disasters. LeAnn was shown to be a new worker hired to work on the ranch. The main farmer was shown to have an attraction for her. His wife immediately saw this and became very angry. He was showing her around and was showing her how to do some of the tasks on the farm. For example, he showed her how to milk a cow. When she tried, she leaned over. The farmer was shown to have gotten a good look at her breasts. He made an exaggerated face. His wife saw this and became very annoyed. The wife then decided that she would make sure that LeAnn left the farm. She devised a plan that she believed would chase her away.
When the farmer was showing LeAnn how to feed the pigs,
outside of the barn, his wife crept into the loft in the barn. She slowly leaned
from the window in the loft. The farmer showed LeAnn how to feed the pigs. She
leaned over and he took a long look at her behind. He made the funny look
again. His wife became even angrier than before.
She then leaned out of the window. She had a bucket of corn slop in her hands. She tipped it out dumping it all over LeAnn. She screamed. The farmer jumped back. He looked shocked and at a loss for words. The slop was thick and smelly. The wife smiled as she dumped the slop all over LeAnn. LeAnn looked up, but the wife had gone.
LeAnn did not leave the farm though. In the next sketch she was still drenched in residual slop. The farmer apologized profusely. Now he was showing her the chickens. They were discussing eggs. Right on cue, the wife began to dump rotten eggs all over LeAnn from the loft above. The farmer gave the same funny look again. LeAnn gasped.
In the next sketch, they were in the stables with the
horses. This time, the farmer’s wife had set up a trip line near the area where
the manure was located. The viewers were shown this as the farmer explained to
LeAnn about the horses and the manure. The line was teased over and over again,
building the anticipation. The farmer stated that because they were so short on
help, the manure had been piling up for a while. LeAnn walked over to have a
look. She tripped on the line and fell over into the manure. She was basically
buried in it up to her neck. Her head popped out of the manure pile. She had
manure on top of her head as well. The farmer looked very embarrassed. This
time she looked quite angry.
She stood up and stomped off. The wife passed her as she
went. “Leaving so soon?,” she said, “What a shame.” She shrugged her shoulders.
