    Even 20 years ago I understood it was always at his expense. He’s such a self-aggrandizing, self-proclaimed “badass” and the jokes were always riffing off of that. It’s like the same way you’d make fun of Steven Seagal.

    I mean, Walker, Texas Ranger was a show made by Chuck, about Chuck, where the day gets saved every time because the bad guys are no match for Chuck. The whole point of the jokes is that nobody was taking this guy seriously but him.

      I remember watching that show thinking “why does the drunk dealer skater punk murderer know kung fu.?”

      Walker, Texas Ranger was the only thing I knew Chuck from when I was a kid. I didn’t bother looking into his career until well after the Chuck Norris list started.
