Funny / Jeff Foxworthy

Go To

  • In "NASA and Alabama" (Games Rednecks Play): "HEY HOUSTAAAAAN! It's dark as crap up here. Wait a minute I did it wrong. Break 1-9!" And it goes uphill from there.
    "Hey, we gotta know how to unclog the toilet! The boys ate all the freeze-dried chili, and they're tore up somethin' bad!"
  • 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, because he was thinking with his brain instead of panicking.
  • On his wife, the hypochondriac: "You do not have testicular cancer. You don't even have testiculars!"
  • In one skit, he offers a way for designated drivers to have fun: stop at every gas station you come to, pretend to put gas in the tank, then ask your drunk companions to pay for it.
  • In "The Clampetts Go to Maui" (Games Rednecks Play), about what happened when Jeff took his extended family to Hawaii, the in-flight movie on the way down was Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. Jeff's brother felt the need to point out "You know that ain't them dogs' real voice!" Jeff's sister responds, "Well, thanks for spoiling it for everybody else!"
    • "When are we gonna change our money to Hawai'ian money?"
    • That whole bit is loaded with them, between Jeff's brother wondering how much it costs to mount a whale, the peeing for distance contest (that Aunt Rose won) to everyone picking the hotel clean.
  • Later on the same album, he went to visit his brother but found a note on the front door telling him said brother had to run to the office, that he'd be back in five minutes, and the location of the extra key to his apartment.
    Jeff: Your only hope is a blind burglar.
  • When discussing the habit of Michiganders pointing to their hands to indicate locations in the state (since Michigan's Lower Peninsula is famously shaped like a mitten), he says "Thank God y'all aren't from Florida!" (Florida is famously shaped like...a male-exclusive reproductive organ.)
    "Miami? No, I believe you. I believe you."
  • "For itchy, watery eyes, it's Flora Flor. Side effects may include..."
  • Jeff doesn't invoke it much, but he can be an effective Deadpan Snarker towards his friends. When asked if he saw Delta Farce (which starred his Blue Collar co-stars Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall), he replied "No, but I flushed a ten dollar bill down the toilet, so I feel like I saw it."
    • He's also more than happy to snark about Larry's catchphrase "Git R Done".
      Jeff: At least "You might be a redneck" is kind of a punchline. "Git R Done" feels like Latin for "This is where the punchline was supposed to go."
  • Several of the "You might be a redneck" jokes end up hitting this sweet spot.

    • "If your dog passes gas and you claim it."
    • "If your dad's cell number has nothing to do with a telephone."
    • "If you've ever gone to the family reunion to meet women."
      Jeff: I think we offended somebody out here. "That ain't funny, is it, sis?"
    • "If directions to your house include the words 'turn off the paved road.'"
    • "If you think the last words of the national anthem are 'Gentlemen, start your engines.'"
    • "If you do yardwork without a shirt on... and so does your husband."
    • "If the UFO hotline limits you to one call per day."
    • "If your working television sits on top of your non-working television."
    • "If you've ever worn a tube top to a funeral home."
      • Bill Engvall followed this up with "If you ever opened a beer can during a eulogy," which was something that his Uncle Jack actually did.
      • Jeff then followed that up with something that Bill did: "If you've ever ridden an electric floor buffer."
        Bill: Wait, wait, wait. Tequila was involved. Get off me!
        Jeff: Wonder how many times his wife has said that.

      "To Bob: If you wear somebody else's work shirt, you might be a redneck."
