- Quotes
Didi Snavely: This is Didi Snavely for Didi's used weapons. Heaven forbid during this joyous season that you should be the victim of a holiday robbery. But wouldn't you rather shoot somebody than watch'em run off with your new toaster oven? I know I would. Didi's Used Weapons has weapons for the car, the home, and the workplace. At Didi's Used Weapons you'll have a Holly Jolly Christmas, and the criminal will have a Silent Night!

Featured review
So far, the best of the three
Maybe it's because I like Christmas, or maybe it really is the funniest, but I think that this is the best of the three Tuna plays.
It is an acquired taste if you aren't from Texas or at least the South, partly due to the nature of the humor and partly due to some extent of "inside" humor that pretty much only we can appreciate. Not because it's high'y intellectual, but because it hits so close to home.
The reason I think this one is funniest is probably because it's not as dark as the first (you'd have to see Greater Tuna to know what I'm talking about, but it's really just one scene.) This one has nothing but laugh out loud situations and is so quotable it's obnoxious at times.
To be fair, Red White and Tuna is a newer play, and has not even premiered on Broadway yet, so Mr. Williams and Mr. Sears are constantly working out the comedy and even some minor plot points. It could very well outshine it's big brothers, but we'll see.
For now, this is the best.
