Dave Barry is vulgarly unfunny. P.J. O'Rourke has what Barry lacks.

Try Joe R. Lansdale if you like Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen. Same rural-uncool sorts of characters, all of them about as marginal sorts as the heroes of a Warren Zevon song. Setting is eastern Texas and the writing is blackly funny.
