** In one skit, he asks the crowd if they have [[AsianStoreOwner "Abduls" working in their 7-Elevens]], and then wonders if 7-Elevens in the Middle East have American workers. Later on, he adds ableist humor to the pile with "it's like a midget using mouthwash; who would know?"

* ValuesDissonance: A lot of the Laughing Hyena albums (which were recorded in TheEighties) showcase a far coarser and more offensive Jeff than one would expect, with heavy doses of racial stereotypes, gay stereotypes, fatphobia, and misogyny. To wit:
** One joke is about a man hanging a washcloth from his penis and then asking his wife to find it for him, followed by him saying that [[BlackIsBiggerInBed a black man would instead do the same thing with the bedspread]].
** In a portrayal of a spelling bee, a black student says the word "schedule" in such an exaggerated AAVE accent that it sounds like "scared you", while another is a lisping CampGay student who goes to "Butt Pirate High School" and makes an anal sex reference out of the word "indifferent".
** One joke about plus-size clothing stores points out that they are always located near the food court and on the ground floor so that their target audience will always be able to locate them. He also joked about his grandmother having forearm fat that resembled the Batman logo, and of other family members of his being followed around at the circus by men with shovels (implying that they were being mistaken for elephants).
** When they were building a shopping mall near his house, he joked that women were berating for the construction workers for taking a lunch break, and then pointed out that "mall opening" and "multiple orgasm" begin with the same two letters.

Cleaning up Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales and removing misuse


* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: Foxworthy fully admits to being a redneck, defining it as "a glorious absence of sophistication" and directing a lot of his jokes at the American South's culture and people. Even so, it's where a lot of his fanbase came from, who loved his good-natured ribbing of themselves.

* LowestCommonDenominator: Regardless of one's opinion of his actual comedy, at least part of Foxworthy's success can be attributed to how his comedy caters to conservative white Americans, with his only real insults being directed at [[NWordPrivileges American southerners and little to no socio-political material.

* FunnyMoments: In one skit, he remembers a time when he was dating a girl who never told him that she had another boyfriend. Said boyfriend, who is very large, knocks on his door and demands to know what he's doing with her. Foxworthy's retort? "I'm cutting her damn hair, and you're just gonna have to wait, all right?!" in the sissiest, gayest voice you could imagine.
