Redneck joke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A redneck joke is a joke about rednecks—working-class, rural, southern white Americans.[1]

These jokes can be a form of classism, depending on the teller. Jeff Foxworthy is a comedian that specializes in telling redneck jokes.[2] For example:

  • "If you've ever cut your grass and found a car, you might be a redneck."
  • "If you've ever been too drunk to fish, you might be a redneck."
  • "If you've ever made change in the offering plate ... guilty ... you might be a redneck."
  • "If you have no cars that are mobile and 14 cars that aren't, then you might be a redneck."[3]
