BBQ Joint Logos are Out of Control

The happier the pig, the better the BBQ.

"Make him smile!"
That line with the look of horror on their faces was absolute comedic gold!

This just made me feel bad cause I actually like when it’s a cartoon animal on the sign. That’s how you know there’s good, home cooking.

Pretty good contrast between country people and city people's idea about BBQ integrity. As it's getting harder to find a local bar I can feel comfortable in, turning our independent BBQ into Southern Chic is a bother. The best BBQ came from the converted gas stations that uses picnic tables inside and out. I do want unlimited tea, paper towels, and hot sauce. If the BBQ doesn't have chunks of fat in it don't bother me with it. Plus I want beans, greens, and banana pudding to round out my needs at a BBQ joint. Plus a waitress that says, "Honey, would you like some more?"

When I eat BBQ, I want to be greeted by a smiling cartoon pig, ideally with a chef's hat, absolutely a full roll of paper towel on a sturdy metal rod mounted on the table and some smiling staff keeping the oversized drinks full.

And I'm a European immigrant living in the pacific northwest. 🙂

"highway 5 between the Dollar Generals" 🤣 Great work, Matt's evil laugh was so on point. He must have been a Disney Villain in another life.

[patrickjspoon]

"between the Dollar Generals, now with matching chairs" is so goddamn beautiful and accurate

I love the fact that Janine has the deep voice of a no one questions Janine - she runs the floor. 😂😂😂😂 If your order is screwed up, you just smile and say "thank you, ma'am" and eat it, knowing she knows what you need better than you do.

Matt is a real hoot! That last smile was quasi-maniacal. Poor Liz actually looked horrified, lol. 😆🤣😂

[writerbill]

"Can we put a little chef's hat on him?" "OMG Why?!" 😂😂.. loved it!

The worst feeling in the world is walking into an old hole in the wall dive and seeing stuff has changed 🥺

It's like the M&M commercial where the giant M&M is eating the M&Ms candy until his partner points out he's eating his own kind!

And he shrugs--and continues eating them! 😱🤣

When Matt said "make the pig smile" in that tone I lost it🤣🤣🤣
There was no way I could control myself.
Such a great video!!!!

I was so upset when I found out my local BBQ place went out of business. Cleve Edmunds Bar-B-Que was open for more than 70 years. Had the smiling pig mascot, paper towels, all sorts of signs and framed things on the walls, picnic table covers, and I think some of the chairs once belonged to a school.

This spot on! 😆 Most ‘graphic’ BBQ/Pork sign I saw was called ‘stumpys’ and the cartoon pig in a chef’s hat was holding a platter with a clear ‘ham’ on it and him standing on a freshly bandage stump. 🐷🍖👀😅

“Now with matching chairs”
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the floor laughing

[doughesson]

Big Jimmy is definitely the kind of barbecue entrepreneur who uses every part of the pig but the squeal.
And he would if he could find a way to use that, too
He needs to be a recurring character.

[glennhower]

I love how there’s not one, but multiple Dollar Generals, and they’re close enough together for the BBQ joint to be described as “between” them.

[jermbug]

I would most definitely go to Big Jimmy's BBQ with that sign. You know that everything is going to be delicious.

Hell, I thought it was a requirement that all BBQ joints have a smilin' pig in their logo. I know at least one that has a pig that's not only smilin' but standin' up on two feet with a platter of BBQ in one of his front "feet".

This thumbprint!!! 🤣🤣 As a nurse, I appreciate the little details of Jeanine assuming he in the nearest big city getting medical equipment like CPAP masks is hilarious! Common task in small towns.
