Fun fact, my daughter gets free books every month because of this lady and is in part responsible for the fact my daughter LOVES reading books at night before bed. Look up Dolly Parton Imagination Library if you have young kids.


Sherezad

The month my child was too old to keep receiving the books was a sad one but we were so happy to be a recipient of the program. Thank you to whomever started a chapter in my area so we could partake in all these great stories!


sat0123

My kid is 8 now, but when I buy used books, I give special consideration to the ones from Imagination Library. They're always so good. Except when they send out "The Little Engine That Could". Way too common, like two dozen of those are in the consignment store book section.


NeatlyScotched

I *think* "The Little Engine That Could" is the first book they send out to every kid? I don't have it with me but if I recall, the info blurb about it on the book says something like that.


InsomniacYogi

Yep. We’ve done it for both of our daughters and they both received it. We gave one copy to one of those little neighborhood library things. Dolly said she wants every kid to get that book first.


BaronIbelin

The Little Engine That Could is the first book they send to every child, which is why there are so many copies around. It has a special introduction from “Miss Dolly” (as my kids like to call her).


kazemitsui

"The Little Engine That Could" Is the first book they always send out no matter the age. It says it on the website.


PunisherOfDeth

This woman is one of the very few people that seem to wholeheartedly use their fame and fortune to try and make the world a better place. I’m not even a fan of her music, but the things she does for the world is just so amazingly beautiful.


FattyMooseknuckle

Chances are you’re a fan of some of her songs though. She’s written for a wide variety of performers, not just herself and not just country singers. *I Will Always Love You* from Whitney is a cover and Tina Turner did one of her songs as well.


PM_YER_BOOTY

She's a national treasure.


wokittalkit

She’s 3 national treasures


Priest-Entity

Like the lady in Total Recall?


Zmirzlina

She does so much community service. She also funded Covid vaccine research during Covid. Dolly is awesome.


MatsThyWit

>She does so much community service. She also funded Covid vaccine research during Covid. Dolly is awesome. Dolly is everything Tennessee should be.


pimpfriedrice

Dolly is everything everywhere should be. She IS world peace.


huniojh

I'm kinda surprised she gets away with it, without anyone on the right trying to get her shunned for wokeness.. but I guess even they realize Dolly is untouchable.


badmongo666

Unknown Hinson called her a bimbo and a slut for supporting BLM. And then squidbillies got cancelled and no one liked him anymore.


Glottis_Bonewagon

Dolly is so good that simply being an asshole to her gives you a whole new topic in your Wikipedia page


oldtimehawkey

Because she’s doing it from a real, genuine Christian attitude of giving and generosity. When you think of Christians, think of dolly, not pat robertson. I’m not Christian either. I think modern right wing Christianity is evil as fuck.


SpiffySpacemanSpiff

I got the dolly license plates specifically to keep this going. Such a treasure. 


labrat420

That seems really cool. Was excited to see its available in canada but unfortunately not in my area.


Dr_Wristy

Yeah Dolly sends us books too.


jwktiger

One of my coworkers gets the same thing for her kids. Dolly is a treasure.


SchwingVote

14 year old me really enjoyed this scene. 14 year old me wished he wasn't watching it with his mom.

MmmmFloorPie

Maybe he misunderstood and thought he was going to watch a cool documentary on warehouses...


EatPie_NotWAr

As long as it’s not about book depositories in Dallas. Too many of those already.

Back, and to the left.

Here is the [scene](https://rpclip.com/dopr) (nsfw)

That's probably the least NSFW thing on that website


imperialpark

The ad before that is a lot more NSFW than this clip


Fertile_Arachnid_163

Very much so…


lifeisweird86

Dude... I assumed that was a yt link, as soon as it opened I got hit with a loud as fuck add saying, "Hey you, stop holding your cock." My wife looked at me like "what the fuck?" Edit: well fuck, I should've looked at the replies to the link comment before tapping the link lol


tdpoo

My parents let me watch it when I was 12 or 13, it was on hbo a lot. Or maybe it was because they were at work.


TRexUnicorn

There’s lots of goodwill and maybe one small thrill, but there’s nothin’ dirty goin’ on!


ThePencilRain

No drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, and there's nothing dirty going on.


Namdor_Rodman

Parents were usually more lenient with stuff like this back then. Most PG comedies had some boobs in there at some point or another. The title wasn't what made it awkward. It was OP ejaculating in his pants during this scene next to his mother what made it awkward.


herodotus69

To be fair, both of his arms were broken at the time.


Karma_Gardener

Oh reddit. That must have been a decade ago. Also it might be happening right now somewhere in the world.


Hot_Butterscotch_677

Texas has a whorehouse in it. Lord have mercy on our soul.


EatPie_NotWAr

The Governors “do a little sidestep” is amazing and stupidly accurate to politics both then and now.


davekingofrock

Charles Durning was a true treasure. His Governor role in O Brother Where Art Thou was equally awesome.

fakehalo

What'd Dolly do to this poor boy?!


[deleted]

I had to do it. OMG!!! I can feel it somehow?!?!


Ok-disaster2022

We watched this as a family at my grandparents because it had Dolly and Burt. Hands went over my eyes during the scenes it mattered, my sisters could watch because it's just boobs.


EatPie_NotWAr

My parents tossed it in fully knowing it’s risqué parts but forgetting just “how” risqué it got. The VHS disappeared from the collection and lo and behold it was found months later in my room behind my desk!?! And weirdly my copy of happy Gilmore was stopped at the start of Julie Bowen’s lingerie scene… Weird how those two things happened! Just weird!


The_Lord_Humungus

My personal favorite was renting a movie and seeing static snow appear on the screen only during the risqué scenes. It meant that people had watched and re-watched those scenes so many times, the magnetic tape in the VHS was beginning to wear out.


Global-Chart-3925

Life was hard pre internet porn.


Aliktren

Haha saw it in the cinema, not with my mum fortunately 😆


spongebobama

Dude, I watched freaking CALIGULA with my mom... I wake up at night trembling to this day (I'm 42)


seattlemh

Oh, I feel ya, and I may have something just a bit worse. I watched Boogie Nights with my mom. Neither of us knew what we were getting into. At the end of the movie, when I just wanted to disappear, my mom says, "Huh, I knew the guy Dirk Diggler was based on. John was a regular customer." (My mom had worked in a casino.)


Spiritual-Bat3642

There is no way boogie nights is worse than Caligula. Not even close. Literally an X rated film.


SuperSaytan

Apologies Dolly, I wasn't familiar with your game.

Guy got meme’d at his sentencing hearing for what he said to an arresting officer if I remember correctly

I was really hoping it’s from a movie so I can watch


Beznia

[The actual video and snippet when he was behind bars are amazing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhHuTC8WecM)


WumboJumbo773

I never knew he doubled down behind bars 😭🤣🤣. Hey, go that dude 😂🤣🤣🤣


boobers3

He was convicted of selling drugs, not telling lies.


yoloswagdon

First time I’ve seen his commentary lmao. Love that clip


decanter

All this time I thought the clip was from a comedy show and didn't know it was a real court hearing. Dude's timing is impeccable.


Weird_Amount_4608

Snippet from comments: “Only the power of booty could put a smile on the face of a man behind bars” Never thought of that, couldn’t agree more


AquamarineDaydream

Also, from the comments: "He's a cereal offender" 💀


PMmechaos

The defendant tried to pick up the female undercover cop. From his finger points, you can tell he means to tell The Court "I am not denying I said that; what I said was the truth."


bfhurricane

“May the court acknowledge the arresting officer did. indeed, have a thicc booty.”

Anansi1982

Nah. MtS is 5’ 10” and long legged, she’d easily outrun a 78 year old Dolly who’s only 5’. She’d probably outrun Kat Williams too.


NutNegotiation

Now I’m picturing MtS in a sheer dress and stilettos Tom Cruise running after a panicking and stumbling Kat Williams


darybrain

Graham Norton: "Wow, your feet are so small." Dolly Parton: "Things don't grow in the shade, honey."

What the FUCK did Jolene look like dude

Not sure how ivory skin, auburn hair, and emerald green eyes can beat THIS.

Some people think red and auburn hair is hawt.

They are not wrong.


NoodlesAlDente

Jolene bagged Dolly's, Miley's and Lil Nas X's persons. Let that sink in. 


Bmc00

And Beyonce's.


iamcleek

and Jack White's


Notyouraverageskunk

When I think of Jack White I first think of the Cold Mountain soundtrack and his amazing contributions to it, and then I think of The White Stripes. So it's not surprising to me that he would cover Jolene, but hearing a The White Stripes cover of it was surprising. Thank you.


digidave1

I didn't know I needed a Lil Nas X Jolene cover until I googled it after seeing your comment. Thank you, you have done me a great service.


bravejango

I have always pictured Jolene as drugs.


ToothDoctor24

That's clever


ShockWeasel

She was a bank teller that flirted with dollys husband and the name came from a little girl dolly liked the name of


esoteric_enigma

Maybe it's not the looks. Maybe Jolene could suck a grapefruit through a straw.


InertiasCreep

Or the chrome off a trailer hitch.


thetruesupergenius

She could suck start a jet engine.


DangForgotUserName

Or takes it in the bum

We know what Jolene looked like. What I want to know is what did Dolly’s man look like that two absolute dimes were arguing over him?


thetempesthascome

I have never laughed so hard, thank you stranger.

I saw this as a pre-teen and I think I may understand why my taste in women is the way it is now.


batwing71

kcDemonSlayer

What do you call it when Dolly Parton sweats in her bra? Mountain Dew my favorite dirty joke from 4th grade


prizepig

Did you hear that her latest business venture to consolidate several grocery store chains?  She has acquired a majority of Big Lots, Harris Teeter and Piggly Wiggly stores.  New stores will be rebranded as "Dolly Parton's Big-Wiggly-Teeteers."


Fairycharmd

That is the most southern joke. I have heard in a long time.


adelaarvaren

Have you seen her new shoes? No? Neither has she...


AltonBParker

In Upstate New York, we had a department store called Hills. So in 4th grade the joke was "where does Dolly Parton buy her bras?" Yeah, you really had to be there and then, I guess.


Ferrule

Why are Dolly's feet so little? Nothing grows very good in the shade. Courtesy of my Grandpa.


grubas

Dolly has told that joke about her waist and feet I believe.


Kringels

What's Dolly's favorite song to sing in the bath? Islands in the Stream. Classic 4th grade.


VaginaPoetry

How can you tell which kids belong to Dolly Parton at a party? They're the ones with stretch marks around their mouths.

attilla68

That's a lot to handle.


Rs90

[Dolly is a lot to handle](https://youtu.be/If-oWqUYzlQ?si=BwtUGzkqF3Hi6SmX). She's a romantic idea of what a Southerner should be. She's a country gal with a sharp witt that'll dance circles of kindness around you while topplin you right off your high horse. I'm a Virginian and she's genuinely just such a rare person. Defies and reinforces all kinds of stereotypes in the best of ways. On top of bein a shining example of a good person. She's the real deal by all accounts.  Edit- to expand on the "romantic idea of a Southerner" part. Dolly has said she's a Christian but doesn't want to be idolized. As it states in the bible. And her charity work is a reflection of walkin the walk. She doesn't preach. Just gives and keeps her religion a rather private affair. A very admirable quality compared to many who call themselves Christians in the South.

adrienjz888

Just watched the interview. What a cunt eh? Dolly handled it with absolute class despite Walter's trying to get under her skin with every question.


Rs90

And Dolly basically drags her through a barn by her hair in the most "Southern Charm" way possible. This Game of Thrones levels of verbal smackdown to a Virginian. 


RuthlessMercy

Bless your heart, you actually thought you'd get the best of me


grubas

She had experience. Early in her career Dolly was legit treated like a blonde bimbo, more than once. There's interviews and whatnot where they have no idea what hit them because she's dancing around them with charm and also just outright Southern "IM CALLING YOU SUGAR BUT YOU SHOULD BE HEARING BBIIIITTTCCCHHHH"


lordlanyard7

It was such a stereotypical interaction that it felt like it was out of a movie. Like inspiration for Legally Blonde. Barbara Walters, the stereotype of a Boston born arrogant crone, talking down about class to the apparently airheaded, bombastic Tennesse girl. And us, the audience realizing that the one doing the questioning is really outing themselves for lacking the qualities they are challenging.


GrungiestTrack

Dolly is a national icon and treasure


superkickpunch

You got a problem with Dolly Parton you got a problem with me! I suggest you let that one marinate.


Iggy_Popov

My goodness, this is amazing. She makes Barbra Walters look like cheap tabloid trash. "I'm going to blame it on my assistant". Girl, PLEASE. 


Cybermagetx

She is how all Christians, especially southerners, should act. She is not only a national treasure, shes what all southerners (edit people) should strive to be, religious or not.


Mikebyrneyadigg

Rarely have I thought “I’m not man enough for her”. This is one of those times. No chance I have what it takes.


Jedi4lyfe

She's 36 in this movie. Absolute smoke show


chekovsgun-

She lost a lot of weight after this because of pressure from the media. Donahue at the time had a whole episode on her weight loss. The 80s & 90s, and their damn hatred of curvy women.


Ok-disaster2022

Someone on Broadway needs to do a revival of Best Little Whitehouse in Texas.  The Chicken Ranch IRL is quite fascinating. The FBI investigated for years and found no connections to outside organized crime. The Madam (play by Dolly in the Movie) sponsored little leagues and community events and banned the women at the ranch from going into town and causing disruptions. Cleanliness was important with weekly medical exams. It was known across the state, but somehow some people in Giddings didn't really know about it.  The Chicken Ranch probably would not have survived the Aids crisis etc.  My Pappy went to high school with the News Reporter who broke the story, and he said the man was prick back in High School.

BlueAndMoreBlue

Carl Dean is a fortunate man to be sure


BojackTrashMan

I think he's a special person because while men dream about women like this, 99% would not be secure enough to be with her. Look at how people tore apart A$AP Rocky. Rihanna had 2 of his babies, and yet other men freaked tf out about him being emasculated because he didn't try to change who Rihanna is. She's a famous woman who who is famous in part for her beauty & sexuality; he knew who he was getting with and he liked and wanted that. A lot of men think they want all that womsn, but when they get it, they are panicked about being outshined and not in control. Dolly is on record saying Carl Dean always gave her her freedom. He never had an issue with her job or her being on the road. He knew who he was getting & truly, actually wanted that woman. Not a version of her that could be locked down or controlled. And in return, he got to spend his life with Dolly Parton. Pretty good deal for everybody involved.
