Jeff Foxworthy.com

When I was in the Navy and stationed in the Deep South, one of the regional books I sent to relatives in Oregon was a book called "How to Speak Southern". It told one the proper pronunciation of "yawl", and other important words and phrases. Little did I know that there was someone who years later would personify that book, and make a durn good living doing it.

His name is Jeff Foxworthy, but you may know him by his middle name "You might be a redneck". His humourous look at country life has become popular, I feel, not because it demeans or puts anyone down, but because it is so true and so funny. That is an unusual combination in comedy these days. At this site, you can follow where Jeff will be appearing, as well as finding out a little bit about him, and lurn, er, excuse me, learn some real redneck words and jokes. A fun time will be had by all, guranteed.

Okay, I tried to get by without putting any jokes here, but I couldn't help it.....

"You might be a redneck if you stare at a can of orange juice because it says concentrated".

    I was extremely disappointed in tonight's (8-5-04) Blue Collar TV show. The sketch with the 13 year old dancing was way beyond family viewing. I never expected this of Jeff Foxworthy. If this kind of "humor" continues, I'll be glad to see the show tank.

    I have enjoyed the movie and the show. As does my mother. However our concern lies with the constant jokes about large people. Not all large people find those jokes funny. My mom and I find it degrading and hurtful.

    Some people who are large have medical problems that cause them to be that way. For example, I have a thyroid problem.

    Obesity is a disease that is very hard to overcome. Like alcoholism and anorexia nervosa. Once in a while the jokes are okay, like Larry's sister getting her belly pierced and he called it a hitch. Chuckle-worthy.

    Picking on fat people every week is getting ridiculous. Please find someone else to pick on.

    Thank you.

    You might be a redneck if it never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase "One nation under God".
    You stand with your hand over your heart during the National Anthem.
    You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.
    You bow your head when someone prays.
    You say "Christmas" instead of " the Holidays".
    I'll have a redneck back me up anyday!

  8. Karen on January 4, 2005 11:31 AM

    I have something Jeff could use, thanks to my 4 year old son. "You might be a redneck......if your kid wears lacrosse hunting boots with his spiderman oufit." He doesn't go anywhere without them!

  9. Syeve Lamb on January 7, 2005 03:01 PM

    Jeff, my name is steve. You might remember me from high school. I need to ask you a question/favor about the Little League program. If you or your agent could get back with me; by email, I would greatly appricate it. Or if you would like I could take a letter over to your parents old house and they could forward it to you. If you don't want to talk just send be back an email telling me so. Thanks for reading this.
    Steve

  10. James Travers on January 7, 2005 03:24 PM

    Jeff i am a 14 yr. old i have my entire High school blue collar crazy. walking down the halls saying Git-r- done, or your classic you might be a redneck. today, some of my redneck friends were talking about their red neck family's. then one mentioned his grandfather so i thought of "You might be a old person..." i have plenty of red neck jokes and other ones. i also have new ideas for your show.
    Some old people jokes you can have on a blue collar TV episode regaurding age should be you might be an old person if...
    here are some i thought of: If your wheelchair has more milage than a 747 You might be a old person. If your insurance rate is higher than the lottery you might be an old person. If you a professional Bingo player you might be an old person. if you drive on the side walk and park on the street you might be an old person. If your voice sounds like a robot more than a robot (grab throat and say "you might be an oldperson" in a robotic voice). If your grandson wears a diaper and so do you you might be an old person. if moses is in your year book you might be an old person. if you can throw your boobs over your shoulder like a continental solider you might be an old person. If you went hunting and was attacked by wild turkeys because of a "little" excess skin you might be an old person. And for the red neck behalf... If red means stop, green means ok, and yellow means rev your engine you might be a redneck. and for the dictionary- Depend (the pen): for ron white... Where is sluggo in *depend* over there. you guys just email me at RedNeckConfederate@hotmail.com for more and Git-R-Done

  11. Rachel on January 7, 2005 10:01 PM

    Hi Jeff! You rock... ^.^ I have the Blue Collar CD pretty much memorized (but I hate that they took out some of the stuff...Coleman lantern and a leafblower! lol) I have some redneck stuff...
    ~If your life's ambition is to be a RAW diva, you might be a redneck. (RAW being a wrestling thingy...)
    ~If you've ever held a baby shower in a bar, you might be a redneck.
    ~If you think the One Ring is the rust around your bathtub, you might be a redneck.
    So, yeah. I don't have very many but if I come up with more I'll let you know.
    ~Rachel
    Ps. When are you coming to Michigan?!?!?!??!! lol

    i saw this on a mesage board recently and loved it ive been looking for a way to get it to foxworthy himself. i think that he would apreceate it and for all i know he may have seen it already or thought of it himself. long story short i would apreceate it if you could pass this on. and if anyone knows of an email address or another way to get jeff foxworthy to see do me a favour and get it to him.

    You Might Be A Redneck,
    ...if it never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under
    God. . ."
    ...you've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
    ....you still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."
    ...you bow your head when someone prays.
    ...you stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.
    ...you treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.
    ...you've never burned an American flag.
    ...you know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
    ...you respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.
    ...you'd give your last dollar to a friend.

    We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look
    at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I
    had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen
    or so rednecks to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what
    rednecks are made of. I hope I am one of those. If you feel the same, pass this
    on to your redneck friends

    this came off of www.whiskerkitty.com

    thanks

  24. LAURI FERRY on February 16, 2005 02:07 PM

    Dear Jeff,

    Today is Wednesday Feburary 16, 2005, my son has idolized you since he was in the 5th grade. He was always picked on and kids made fun of him. So I told him to turn it around and make them laugh at you becasue you want them too. And laugh they did. He began using your material of Red neck jokes and the kids love it. From that day on he is undoubltly the funniest kid. He is 19 years old now and still loves your material. He was paralzyed at 15, but walks now, and today his dream came true. He is one of your background extras on your Blue Colar Comedy in Athens. He called me and is having the time of his life. I wish this could open doors for him. He has been hospital home bound for high school and in physical theary 3 times a week for years. YOU are the greatest. Thank you for being the savior and light in my kids life when he needed it the most.

    Lauri Ferry mother of Jonathon Weaver

    On Wisconsin was great. All were dead on but one. The bar to church ratio was way off. Scince the drunk driving laws toughened up, about half the bars closed. Now we are down to at least 3 bars to every church.

  27. scott on February 21, 2005 01:09 AM

  31. lynn&Ron H on March 18, 2005 01:01 PM

    We wanted to ask Jeff if he and his friends can so a redneck spoof of the mtv show of the teenage girl whose rich parents spent 2 million dollars on her 16th birthday party, we thought a redneck version of this would be so funny, you know instead of a new car, a redneck would go to the nearest junk yard lot and get a fixer upper. just a thought. we love Blue collar comedy show.

  32. Mike on March 19, 2005 09:28 AM

    Jeff,
    Last night I was flipping through stations while my wife was getting ready to go to a friends house for pot luck. I was laughing out loud at your bit about how if your wife is silent for 30 minutes you naively thought she might be mad at someone besides you. My wife tells me to get ready to go and I'm in the bedroom when I hear an angry "Son of a B***h" come from the kitchen. I naively respond "What?" like there's something she could be mad at besides me. She comes into the bedroom and with flames coming out of her mouth says "How could you eat the glazed walnuts that are only for salads? I laughed all the way to our friends house with tears rolling down my face.

  33. David Falk on March 20, 2005 09:01 PM

    One More word like Initiate (and then she ate).
    Word: Innuendo

  41. biggun on April 18, 2005 08:47 PM

    3. (SHORE) Man! I SHORE do like your momma's apple pie.

  46. Chuck Correll on May 11, 2005 11:07 AM

    Hey Jeff, here's one for ya. You can use it at no charge.
    You might be a "sentimental" redneck if you named your son Rusty because it reminds you of the pickup truck in which he was conceived.

  47. Chuck Correll on May 11, 2005 11:11 AM

    Oh man, you've inspired me. Here's another one.

    You might be an "dumb" redneck if you think Johnny Cash is a kind of currency you spend in pay toilets.

  48. JoAnn Sutterfield on May 13, 2005 02:53 PM

    Heres a redneck saying that my husband really said as we were traveling down a road, he looked over and said man that is some good looking wood. So you know you are a redneck when you say mAN THAT SURE IS GOOD LOOKING WOOD.

  49. Mary on May 24, 2005 08:24 AM

    My friend thought of a good one:

    You might be a redneck if your daughter borrows your false teeth for her senior pictures.

    Only in West Virginia!

  50. Linwood on June 8, 2005 05:31 PM

    I go to a redneck college. At this college you can bring your fishing gear. You can bring a shotgun, a rifle and a bow. You CANNOT bring a blender.

  51. Chris Johnson on June 10, 2005 08:53 PM


    I have a redneck word for you.

    Ardachoke I ardachoke you for what you just done.

  52. Darcey on June 13, 2005 08:29 PM

    Jeff, I work with a man at UPS in Fishersville VA, he could be Larry the cable guys twin. His name is Billy. You really need to check him out! He would be a perfect addition to Blue Collar Tour, even as a walk on.

    A new subject for "you might be a redneck."

    You might be a redneck if you have your wedding in a trailer park.

    No joke! A couple got married a couple weeks ago in the center "court yard" of a local trailer park. The shindig lasted 2 days. Big smokers were set up, a tent, tables. The whole nine yards!

  54. Wayne on June 23, 2005 06:06 AM

    Hey,

    The redneck jokes have always been a favorite. Here's some that came to me the other night, all coming from personal experience :-D

    You might be a redneck:

    If you spend more time under your vehicle than in it...

    if your dog has ever woken up with a hangover...

    if there's an engine lift in your kitchen...

    if you;ve ever named a pet after hard alcohol...

    if your vehicle's color is listed as "unknown" on the registration...

    if you've ever played tic-tac-toe on your front lawn with a weedeater...

    and last but not least....

    if you've ever written down a list of redneck jokes to send in.....at 530 AM..........in the bathroom.....

    Jeff

    Friday night--we stopped by the local convience
    store. Jim, my son-in-law, told my daughter Kim
    to get him a pack of cigarettes. Kim asked him
    if he wanted a full pack???

    Jim said "No, Bring me 10 and give 10 to the lady behind the counter".

    No wonder I am white headed & in stitches!!!

  60. tyler on September 13, 2005 07:55 PM

    just wanted to fill u in on this joke we came up with

    "you might be a redneck if you are sittin at the dinner table and ask for a napkin and your dad hands you a role of toilet paper!"

  61. James Couch on November 2, 2005 12:17 AM

    A new redneck word...maybe you've heard it before.

    EarNair: "Hey Ned, where ya been?" "Oh, EarNair!"

  62. John Keatts on November 2, 2005 11:17 AM

    I have watched your show and I see that you have a big following. it is because of that following that I am sending this request. I would like to see on your shows this take place. maybe at the very end you could maybe say something like,
    " If you believe in the American Flag and God then By God you are a proud RED NECK."
    Or...
    " If you believe that all of mankind should be free to live their lives in freedom then you are a Proud RED NECK."

  64. Tiffany McMahan on December 21, 2005 11:27 AM

    You are NOT an AMERICAN if
    It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

    You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

    You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

    You bow your head when someone prays.

    You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

    You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

    You've never burned an American flag.

    You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

    You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

    For those of you who think that this is cute you are not a American.

    GOD BLESS THE USA & THANKS TO ALL THE VETERANS FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THIS GREAT COUNTRY.

  65. Cathy Sisk on January 1, 2006 03:27 PM

    Hey Jeff, I love your redneck joke about the guy having his nipple bitten off by a beaver. I have one even better, how about you might be a redneck if your daddy has had his nipple bitten off by a large mouth bass. This really happened to my husbands Dad while he was on a innertube in the lake. Great huh?

  66. Steve on January 13, 2006 07:50 PM

    If you picked your Lot in the trailer park because it had an unobstructed view of the southern sky....Yooooooou might be a redneck

    If you know why this is important..... you might be a redneck

  67. Steve on January 13, 2006 07:54 PM

    If you have a purple star on ebay and you've never sold anything..... Yooooou might be a redneck

    If you know the operator at the home shopping network by name and the names of her grand children, yooooooou might be a redneck

  68. steve on January 13, 2006 08:03 PM

  71. Matthew Hall on April 16, 2006 11:42 PM

    You might be a redneck if you use duck tape to repair your freezer. I did this when I went to visit my mom, that lives in Kansas City Mo. The shelves in the freezer door broke, and I taped them back on. One year later they are holden tight.

  72. terry troyer on May 17, 2006 03:40 PM

    My boyfriend and I were talking about an old man driving and slowing down to make a turn from the lane instead of getting off on the shoulder. He turned into a bar. My boyfriend said now he'll pound down a few and instead of having just a slow driver we'll have a drunk impeder (drunkin peter).

  86. Scott Fowler on September 15, 2006 07:00 PM

    I seen something today in Charelston, S.C that might qualify as a Redneck. On September 15, 2006 my wife and I were at Walmart. Sitting in the parking lot was a Green Ford Pickup with a black cage in it. The unusal thing was it had a Bass seat welded to the top of it. Does this qualify as being a Redneck?

    Subject: Deer Roping & other foolish things

    I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that since they congregated at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away) that it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it home.

    I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope. The cattle, who had seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They were not having any of it. After about 20 minutes my deer showed up - 3 of them. I picked out a likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw my rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me. I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold. The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation. I took a step towards it...it took a step away. I put a little tension on the rope and received an education.

    The first thing that I learned is that while a deer may just stand there looking at you funny while you rope it, they are spurred to action when you start pulling on that rope. That deer EXPLODED.

    The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I could fight down with a rope with some dignity. A deer, no chance.

    That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I originally imagined. The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many animals. A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me off my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the big gash in my head.

    At that point I had lost my taste for corn fed venison. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of that rope. I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it would likely die, slow and painfully somewhere. At the time, there was no love at all between me and that deer. At that moment, I hated the thing and I would venture a guess that the feeling was mutual. Despite the gash in my head and the several large knots where I had cleverly arrested the deer's momentum by bracing my head against various large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly enough to recognize that there was a small chance that I shared some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in, so I didn't want the deer to have it suffer a slow death so I managed to get it lined back up in between my truck and the feeder - a little trap I had set before hand. Kind of like a squeeze chute. I got it to back in there and started moving up so I could get my rope back.

    Did you know that deer bite? They do! I never in a million years would have thought that a deer would bite somebody so I was very surprised when I reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of my wrist. Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where they just bite you and then let go. A deer bites you and shakes its head - almost like a pit bull. They bite HARD and it hurts.

    The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and draw back slowly. I tried screaming and shaking instead. My method was ineffective. It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several minutes, but it was likely only several seconds. I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by now) tricked it.

    While I kept it busy tearing the bejesus out of my right arm, I reached up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose.

    That was when I got my final lesson in deer behavior for the day. Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up on their back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and their hooves are surprisingly sharp. I learned a long time ago that when an animal like a horse strikes at you with their hooves and you can't get away easily, the best thing to do is try to make a loud noise and make an aggressive move towards the animal. This will usually cause them to back down a bit so you can escape. This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously such trickery would not work. In the course of a millisecond I devised a different strategy. I screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run.

    The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the back of the head. Deer may not be so different from horses after all, besides being twice as strong and three times as evil, because the second I turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down. Now when a deer paws at you and knocks you down it does not immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed. What they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you while you are laying there crying like a little girl and covering your head.

    I finally managed to crawl under the truck and the deer went away.

    Now for the local legend. I was pretty beat up. My scalp was split open, I had several large goose eggs, my wrist was bleeding pretty good and felt broken (it turned out to be just badly bruised) and my back was bleeding in a few places, though my insulated canvas jacket had protected me from most of the worst of it. I drove to the nearest place, which was the co-op. I got out of the truck, covered in blood and dust and looking like hell. The guy who ran the place saw me through the window and came running out yelling "what happened"

    I have never seen any law in the state of Maryland that would prohibit an individual from roping a deer. I suspect that this is an area that they have overlooked entirely. Knowing, as I do, the lengths to which law enforcement personnel will go to exercise their power, I was concerned that they may find a way to twist the existing laws to paint my actions as criminal. I swear..not wanting to admit that I had done something monumentally stupid played no part in my response. I told him "I was attacked by a deer". I did not mention that at the time I had a rope on it. The evidence was all over my body. Deer prints on the back of my jacket where it had stomped all over me and a large deer print on my face where it had struck me there. I asked him to call somebody to come get me. I didn't think I could make it home on my own. He did. Later that afternoon, a game warden showed up at my house and wanted to know about the deer attack. Surprisingly, deer attacks are a rare thing and wildlife and parks was interested in the event. I tried to describe the attack as completely and accurately as I could. I was filling the grain hopper and this deer came out of nowhere and just started kicking the hell out of me and BIT me. It was obviously rabid or insane or something.

    EVERYBODY for miles around knows about the deer attack (the guy at the co-op has a big mouth). For several weeks people dragged their kids in the house when they saw deer around and the local ranchers carried rifles when they filled their feeders. I have told several people the story, but NEVER anybody around here. I have to see these people every day and as an outsider - a "city folk". I have enough trouble fitting in without them snickering behind my back and whispering "there is the dumb guy that tried to rope the deer."

    You might be a Redneck if you're caught running from police on your lawn mower

    http://www.komotv.com/news/16037282.html

    Man on riding mower tries to flee police -- at whopping 3 mph
    By Associated Press

    Watch the story
    VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - A man led police on a very slow-speed chase, refusing to stop while riding a lawn mower at about 3 mph across a busy street and steering it toward an officer before he was grabbed and arrested, a police report says.

    Now, authorities say, the question is whether Stephen Ray Castor, 53, already under investigation in the breaking of a window of a man's house and the episode with the officer, can also be charged with drunken driving. State law is silent on whether riding mowers are covered by the law against driving under the influence.

    Castor remained in the Clark County Jail with bail set at $40,000 pending a court appearance Friday.

    Police said the chase began late Monday afternoon after Jason Taylor reported that Castor - a stranger to him - cursed at him, rode the mower through his fence gate and smashed a window with a lawn chair.

    Castor drove the mower across a boulevard and down a city street, the police report said. Officer Gregory J. Hibbard got out of his patrol car and told Castor to stop, then had to sidestep to avoid being hit, the report said.

    Shortly afterward, several officers pulled Castor off the mower and arrested him.

  126. Judy Whitehill on February 28, 2008 09:44 PM

    Jeff you are the greatest. My husband and I watch all your Blue Collar Comedy Shows. We have several of your tapes, CD'S and Books. We LOVE you. We have been enjoying your show "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" since the first show aired. I am so very disappointed and mad right now. We have not seen the show the last 3 weeks. I finally called the station and found out they quit airing the show. I could not believe it. It is impossible to find decent family oriented shows that familys can watch and enjoy together. We finally find a show that we can look forward to week after week and thay take it off the air. Your show was not only funny, and entertaining, it was also educational. Please, I am desperate. I have to find a way to see your show. Is there anything you or your staff can tell me to do to get it back on here in Omaha Nebraska. Please E-Mail me if you have any ideas to help me out.

    Hey Jeff, everyone I know wants to know when season 2 of the Jeff Foxworthy Show is being released to dvd. It would make a fine addition to my collection of your performances. I don't know what the problem is, but I'm sure it would sell 10X as many copies as the first season did.
