There’s no better sign than Toby Keith’s appearance last night on The Colbert Report to promote his new movie Beer For My Horses that the modern day western based on Keith’s hit song of the same name is the new poor man’s Snakes On A Plane. After capturing the internet’s imagination with a teaser trailer a few months ago, Keith’s movie, which co-stars Meet Joe Black and Mallrats‘ Claire Forlani, is poised to give Pineapple Express stiff competition in the form of three or four stoned theater-hopping college students when it hits theaters two days later. Here’s Toby being a really good sport and explaining to Stephen that people do actually get their horses drunk:

If Beer For My Horses does well, look for the next movie based on a Toby Keith song, an evenhanded retelling of the battle of Baghdad called Shock ‘N ‘Yall.

  1. “Never ask a question you don’t know the answer to, Steve.” I think he meant “Never ask a question you don’t WANT TO know the answer to, Steve.”

    Actually no, no he didn’t. He just explained so much about why Toby Keith is Toby Keith.

    Can’t wait to see this movie. Toby is so funny and him and Rodney together, this is going to be a hoot.

    I find it strange that Toby Keith claims he’s from “the South,” since he’s from Oklahoma, which is the Southwest. And perhaps I’m just being a semantic asshole, but everyone I know in Oklahoma gets pissed when people lump them in with the South.
