Artie shows up at Bubbapalooza Atlantic City
A scathing review of Bubba the Love Sponge’s Bubbapalooza at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City is up at PressofAtlanticCity.com. Despite the author’s dislike of seeing the guys in person, he reviewed Sal and Artie’s surprise performances.
While Governale’s stage personality has morphed into a totally racist pig who’s not that funny, Lange killed.
In fact, Lange got the only standing ovation of the night, and he deserved it. Obviously the most professional and funniest guy to hit the stage all night, the 300-pound comic immediately made fun of his weight.
“I just got back from Afghanistan (entertaining the troops), and as you can see, I lost a bunch of weight,” Lange joked, adding that five Mike Schmidts would have fit into the 318-pound Bubba’s jersey.
Lange mixed old and new material, particularly concentrating on sports. He surprisingly did more than 45 minutes, nearly a complete set for the comic.
“Every time you say Eagles, they have to spell it,” Lange said. “It’s like a spelling bee for retards. Now, let’s use Eagles in a sentence: The Eagles have never won a Super Bowl. If Donovan McNabb wants a ring, he better get married.”

Bubba just isn’t that funny. Wait, what am I saying, Bubba isn’t funny at all. Of course Artie made the night, he was the only thing worth seeing.

Yeah I am not a Bubba fan at all.

I like the Bubba show, but I like the crazy stuff that happens on the show. But I don’t see any of his crew as “comics.” I think it would be more fun to hang out with the Bubba guys rather than seeing them perform.

Yea their show is nuts and entertaining.. im not sure about them being on a stage but it’d be fun to hang w/ like said above.

I have to say that Bubba appeals to a certain type of person, I would call them ‘Southern Jackasses’. No disrespect to Southern people, but I think a lot of the fans of his show are fans of Jackass tv series/movie but with a southern twist. Like, if they were watching Jackass on a drive in that was filled with mud so they could park their 4×4’s and spit tobacco, thats what I mean by the term.
Wrasslin fans, people that build models of 18 wheelers and people that have a dried out-moldy stuffed bass on worm chewed wood in their garage like Bubba. If you like a goober in your Dr Pepper, you like Bubba. If your IQ is around 35 yet you dont have a physical deformity and you like the stacatto ‘hears the deal/TELL THEM BUBBA’ your a Bubba fan. Most people that change oil for a living like Bubba. Guys that work in second hand tire stores love Bubba. The guy driving the tiny sweeper trucks around Wal-Marts parking lot 50mph at midnight, are Bubba fans. I hope that clears up what I mean by ‘Southern Jackass’.
