''If you can describe the comedian here, you might be a Troper!''
A recognized master of redneck humor, Jeff Foxworthy (born September 6, 1958) is a stand-up comedian and actor who has been ranked as the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time. He is the author of several humor books, many of them compilations of his "You Might Be A Redneck If..." one-liners, the star of the eponymous ''[[TheJeffFoxworthyShow Jeff Foxworthy Show]]'' (which lasted a total of two seasons across two networks), and one-quarter of the stand-up troupe for ''The BlueCollarComedy Tour''. He hosted the quiz show ''[[AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader]]?'' (2007-2009) and in 2012 became the host of ''The American Bible Challenge'' on the Game Show Network.
Foxworthy's fanbase mainly overlaps with CountryMusic. He recorded several songs that interspersed his comedy sketches with a sung chorus by a popular country musician, and had a major Christmas hit in 1995 with "The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" (performed entirely by himself). He also appeared in the music video for AlanJackson's "I Don't Even Know Your Name" and hosted a country music radio show called ''The Foxworthy Countdown'' from 1999 to 2009.
Contrary to what many apparently believe, he is not a cousin of fellow Blue Collar comedian BillEngvall (they are close friends, but not related).
----
!!Tropes present:
* ActingForTwo: Present in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJOe3CXE-mA music video]] for "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".
* AllMenArePerverts: One of Jeff's bits from ''Totally Committed'' deals with the differences between Men and Women, more specifically about women, since they're complicated, they think men are too and always wonder what 'he's really thinking.'
-->Ladies I will tell you what we are really thinking. We're thinking, "I want a beer and I want ta see some'in nekkid."
** And the discussion about the contents of Men's and Women's magazines.
--> Women: "How to get a good man," "how to get rid of a bad man," "how to turn a bad man into a good man."
--> Men: Nothing but pictures of naked women.
* AmericanAccents: Keeping with his DeepSouth theme, he often makes fun of Southern accents. He points out that they can have a conversation without using any actual words. "Hey, jeet yet?" "Naw, d'joo?" "Yamptu?" "A'ight." Foxworthy has even released an entire "Redneck Dictionary" series.
* AntiChristmasSong: "The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".
* {{Bowdlerize}}: Some issues of his Laughing Hyena albums snip out the more profane parts... ''very'' awkwardly and poorly.
* BrickJoke: On one album, he recalls a story that someone told him after a show about a man getting his nipple bitten off by a beaver that he found on the side of the road after mistaking it for dead. Several tracks later… "If you've ever had your nipple bitten off by a beaver, you might be a redneck."
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: He recalls that in his childhood, a relative painted "male" on their mailbox as a joke, and no one in the family got it. By the time he was in high school, he finally figured out what was wrong with it: the M was supposed to be capitalized.
* DeepSouth: One of the cornerstones of his comedy, and not just with the redneck one-liners.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: After he became famous, a small label called Laughing Hyena issued some of his late-80s standup on cheap compilations. Foxworthy was a lot more profane in his early years, and had somewhat less of an emphasis on his now-trademark Southern humor. ''Very'' early albums didn't even have the "you might be a redneck" jokes — instead, his signature sketch was a story that worked in every letter of the alphabet: "A there, dudes! I'm gonna tell you a story you might not B-lieve. 'Cause you C, it's about this friend of mine, he's from D-troit…"
* EightiesHair: One of the more famous mullets this side of Billy Ray Cyrus.
* TheEponymousShow: His self-titled sitcom.
* FunWithAcronyms: According to one skit, "single" stands for "Stay Intoxicated Nightly, Get Laid Every Day."
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "If you think ''Theatre/TheNutcracker'' is [[GroinAttack something you did off the high dive]]" is present in "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".
* JustJokingJustification: Subverted after making a joke about having a cat stuffed by a taxidermist:
-->'''Jeff''': Did I offend someone in the audience? It's a joke. I have two cats. ({{beat}}) One on either side of the fireplace.
** Played straight with the "You're either gay or married" skit, which was a JustJokingJustification for a joke that he felt might be misconstrued as homophobic.
* LaxativePrank: In one skit, he said that he believes that, if a 16-year-old shows up at your door trick-or-treating without a costume, it should be perfectly acceptable to give them Ex-Lax. LarryTheCableGuy then pipes up that he's been on both sides of that particular prank.
* {{Mooning}}: He has a whole skit about it on ''Games Rednecks Play''. On his musical album, it was adapted into a bluegrass song called "Big O' Moon".
* MotorMouth: Referenced in one skit, where he argues that Jeff Gordon has a large hatedom because he's one of the few NASCAR drivers who enunciates when being interviewed. He then launches into a demonstration of how most drivers talk when they're interviewed, then wonders if they talk the same way in non-NASCAR settings.
* NoPreggerSex: While recounting his wife's childbirth:
-->"At one point, the instructor told us, 'Now, after your wife's water breaks, do not have sex.' I raised my hand. I said, 'Is this really a problem?!' That's a sensitive husband, ain't it? 'So, uh...just how far apart are the contractions there, sweet thing? Seems like a shame to waste this semi-private room.' See, and they wouldn't tell you that unless somebody had done it, that's what bothers me."
* NotSoDifferent: The premise of one sketch was how gay people and married people aren't so different after all: if you're sleeping on a bed with eight pillows and a dust ruffle, if you've ever been antique shopping during a big football game, if you can't remember the last time you had sex with a ''woman''... you're either gay or married!
* OnceAnEpisode: All of his albums except ''Have Your Loved Ones Spayed or Neutered'' end with new Redneck one-liners.
* OneHitWonder: Believe it or not, he actually had a top 20 country hit with "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" (and the song re-entered the country top 40 ''four times'' after that!). He also charted several other "songs" that interspersed his comedy sketches with a chorus sung by a popular country music artist, or were just him narrating.
* PornStache: He's always had one. He averts the porn star look lately by wearing glasses and occasionally sporting a goatee.
* RefugeInVulgarity: Progressively averted more and more with each successive album. ''You Might Be a Redneck If...'' had the word "shit" twice, while ''Have Your Loved Ones Spayed or Neutered'' has no profanity ''at all'' (although it does have some penis jokes and ToiletHumor).
* SelfDeprecation: One of the big reasons his comedy is so successful is that he'll proudly admit to being an out and proud redneck himself, and most of the stuff he comes up with is stuff that either he or his family is guilty of.
* SideEffectsInclude:
-->"For itchy, watery eyes, it's Floraflor. Side effects may include: [[OverlyLongGag nausea, vomiting, water weight gain, lower back pain, receding hairline, eczema, seborrhea, psoriasis, itchy chafing clothing, liver spots, blood clots, ringworm, excessive body odor, uneven tire wear, pyorrhea, gonorrhea, diarrhea, halitosis, scoliosis, loss of bladder control, hammertoe, the shanks, low sperm count, warped floors, cluttered drawers, hunchback, heart attack, low resale value on your home, feline leukemia, athlete's foot, head lice, club foot, MS, MD, VD, fleas, anxiety, sleeplessness, drowsiness, poor gas mileage, tooth decay, split ends, parvo, warts, unibrow, lazy eye, fruit flies, chest pains, clogged drains, hemorrhoids, dry heaving, and sexual dysfunction.]]" I'm thinking I'll just stick with itchy, watery eyes!
** He also talks about a product whose known side effects included anal seepage.
--->"Anal seepage"! That's not even fun to say!
* SoloDuet: Jeff voices himself and another character in his "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas."
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Instead of the redneck jokes, Jeff ended the ''Have You Loved Ones Spayed or Neutered'' album with a skit called "I Believe", featuring Larry the Cable Guy (also a trademark of the Blue Collar Comedy routines).
* SynchroVox: Appears twice in the music video for "Party All Night" (directed by one Music/WeirdAlYankovic): first on a cow, then on a piggy bank.
* TMILie: If you're going to call in sick to work call in with something disgusting that they won't question, like explosive diarrhea.
* TrailerParkTornadoMagnet: Jeff has a memorable routine about how TV news crews interviewing survivors after a tornado hits a trailer park always seem to find the least coherent person around to interview.
-->"It was [[{{Malaproper}} pan-delirium]]! I thought we'd be killed, [[AFateWorseThanDeath or even worse!]]"
* UnusualEuphemism: In one sketch, Foxworthy recalls a man who had his "happy place" cut off in an accident and replaced with a ''finger''. He then toys with the idea and crosses over into GagPenis territory by saying, "It ain't gonna be my pinky, is it, doc? You know, I don't use my left arm all that much..."
** Subverted earlier on the same album, when he makes reference to his hypochondriac wife, who he says always has whatever newfound disease they discuss on the news: "You do ''not'' have testicular cancer. You don't even have testiculars!"
*** has also referred to condoms as codominiums.

A recognized master of redneck humor, Jeff Foxworthy (born September 6, 1958) is a stand-up comedian and actor who has been ranked as the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time. He is the author of several humor books, many of them compilations of his "You Might Be A Redneck If..." one-liners, the star of the eponymous ''[[TheJeffFoxworthyShow Jeff Foxworthy Show]]'' (which lasted a total of two seasons across two networks), and one-quarter of the stand-up troupe for ''The BlueCollarComedy Tour''. He hosted the quiz show ''[[AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader]]?'' (2007-2009) and in 2012 became the host of ''The American Bible Challenge'' on the Game Show Network.
Foxworthy's fanbase mainly overlaps with CountryMusic. He recorded several songs that interspersed his comedy sketches with a sung chorus by a popular country musician, and had a major Christmas hit in 1995 with "The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" (performed entirely by himself). He also appeared in the music video for AlanJackson's "I Don't Even Know Your Name" and hosted a country music radio show called ''The Foxworthy Countdown'' from 1999 to 2009.
Contrary to what many apparently believe, he is not a cousin of fellow Blue Collar comedian BillEngvall (they are close friends, but not related).

!!Tropes present:
* ActingForTwo: Present in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJOe3CXE-mA music video]] for "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".
* AllMenArePerverts: One of Jeff's bits from ''Totally Committed'' deals with the differences between Men and Women, more specifically about women, since they're complicated, they think men are too and always wonder what 'he's really thinking.'
-->Ladies I will tell you what we are really thinking. We're thinking, "I want a beer and I want ta see some'in nekkid."
** And the discussion about the contents of Men's and Women's magazines.
--> Women: "How to get a good man," "how to get rid of a bad man," "how to turn a bad man into a good man."
--> Men: Nothing but pictures of naked women.
* AmericanAccents: Keeping with his DeepSouth theme, he often makes fun of Southern accents. He points out that they can have a conversation without using any actual words. "Hey, jeet yet?" "Naw, d'joo?" "Yamptu?" "A'ight." Foxworthy has even released an entire "Redneck Dictionary" series.
* AntiChristmasSong: "The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".
* {{Bowdlerize}}: Some issues of his Laughing Hyena albums snip out the more profane parts... ''very'' awkwardly and poorly.
* BrickJoke: On one album, he recalls a story that someone told him after a show about a man getting his nipple bitten off by a beaver that he found on the side of the road after mistaking it for dead. Several tracks later… "If you've ever had your nipple bitten off by a beaver, you might be a redneck."
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: He recalls that in his childhood, a relative painted "male" on their mailbox as a joke, and no one in the family got it. By the time he was in high school, he finally figured out what was wrong with it: the M was supposed to be capitalized.
* DeepSouth: One of the cornerstones of his comedy, and not just with the redneck one-liners.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: After he became famous, a small label called Laughing Hyena issued some of his late-80s standup on cheap compilations. Foxworthy was a lot more profane in his early years, and had somewhat less of an emphasis on his now-trademark Southern humor. ''Very'' early albums didn't even have the "you might be a redneck" jokes — instead, his signature sketch was a story that worked in every letter of the alphabet: "A there, dudes! I'm gonna tell you a story you might not B-lieve. 'Cause you C, it's about this friend of mine, he's from D-troit…"
* EightiesHair: One of the more famous mullets this side of Billy Ray Cyrus.
* TheEponymousShow: His self-titled sitcom.
* FunWithAcronyms: According to one skit, "single" stands for "Stay Intoxicated Nightly, Get Laid Every Day."
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "If you think ''Theatre/TheNutcracker'' is [[GroinAttack something you did off the high dive]]" is present in "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".
* JustJokingJustification: Subverted after making a joke about having a cat stuffed by a taxidermist:
-->'''Jeff''': Did I offend someone in the audience? It's a joke. I have two cats. ({{beat}}) One on either side of the fireplace.
** Played straight with the "You're either gay or married" skit, which was a JustJokingJustification for a joke that he felt might be misconstrued as homophobic.
* LaxativePrank: In one skit, he said that he believes that, if a 16-year-old shows up at your door trick-or-treating without a costume, it should be perfectly acceptable to give them Ex-Lax. LarryTheCableGuy then pipes up that he's been on both sides of that particular prank.
* {{Mooning}}: He has a whole skit about it on ''Games Rednecks Play''. On his musical album, it was adapted into a bluegrass song called "Big O' Moon".
* MotorMouth: Referenced in one skit, where he argues that Jeff Gordon has a large hatedom because he's one of the few NASCAR drivers who enunciates when being interviewed. He then launches into a demonstration of how most drivers talk when they're interviewed, then wonders if they talk the same way in non-NASCAR settings.
* NoPreggerSex: While recounting his wife's childbirth:
-->"At one point, the instructor told us, 'Now, after your wife's water breaks, do not have sex.' I raised my hand. I said, 'Is this really a problem?!' That's a sensitive husband, ain't it? 'So, uh...just how far apart are the contractions there, sweet thing? Seems like a shame to waste this semi-private room.' See, and they wouldn't tell you that unless somebody had done it, that's what bothers me."
* NotSoDifferent: The premise of one sketch was how gay people and married people aren't so different after all: if you're sleeping on a bed with eight pillows and a dust ruffle, if you've ever been antique shopping during a big football game, if you can't remember the last time you had sex with a ''woman''... you're either gay or married!
* OnceAnEpisode: All of his albums except ''Have Your Loved Ones Spayed or Neutered'' end with new Redneck one-liners.
* OneHitWonder: Believe it or not, he actually had a top 20 country hit with "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" (and the song re-entered the country top 40 ''four times'' after that!). He also charted several other "songs" that interspersed his comedy sketches with a chorus sung by a popular country music artist, or were just him narrating.
* PornStache: He's always had one. He averts the porn star look lately by wearing glasses and occasionally sporting a goatee.
* RefugeInVulgarity: Progressively averted more and more with each successive album. ''You Might Be a Redneck If...'' had the word "shit" twice, while ''Have Your Loved Ones Spayed or Neutered'' has no profanity ''at all'' (although it does have some penis jokes and ToiletHumor).
* SelfDeprecation: One of the big reasons his comedy is so successful is that he'll proudly admit to being an out and proud redneck himself, and most of the stuff he comes up with is stuff that either he or his family is guilty of.
* SideEffectsInclude:
-->"For itchy, watery eyes, it's Floraflor. Side effects may include: [[OverlyLongGag nausea, vomiting, water weight gain, lower back pain, receding hairline, eczema, seborrhea, psoriasis, itchy chafing clothing, liver spots, blood clots, ringworm, excessive body odor, uneven tire wear, pyorrhea, gonorrhea, diarrhea, halitosis, scoliosis, loss of bladder control, hammertoe, the shanks, low sperm count, warped floors, cluttered drawers, hunchback, heart attack, low resale value on your home, feline leukemia, athlete's foot, head lice, club foot, MS, MD, VD, fleas, anxiety, sleeplessness, drowsiness, poor gas mileage, tooth decay, split ends, parvo, warts, unibrow, lazy eye, fruit flies, chest pains, clogged drains, hemorrhoids, dry heaving, and sexual dysfunction.]]" I'm thinking I'll just stick with itchy, watery eyes!
** He also talks about a product whose known side effects included anal seepage.
--->"Anal seepage"! That's not even fun to say!
* SoloDuet: Jeff voices himself and another character in his "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas."
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Instead of the redneck jokes, Jeff ended the ''Have You Loved Ones Spayed or Neutered'' album with a skit called "I Believe", featuring Larry the Cable Guy (also a trademark of the Blue Collar Comedy routines).
* SynchroVox: Appears twice in the music video for "Party All Night" (directed by one Music/WeirdAlYankovic): first on a cow, then on a piggy bank.
* TMILie: If you're going to call in sick to work call in with something disgusting that they won't question, like explosive diarrhea.
* TrailerParkTornadoMagnet: Jeff has a memorable routine about how TV news crews interviewing survivors after a tornado hits a trailer park always seem to find the least coherent person around to interview.
-->"It was [[{{Malaproper}} pan-delirium]]! I thought we'd be killed, [[AFateWorseThanDeath or even worse!]]"
* UnusualEuphemism: In one sketch, Foxworthy recalls a man who had his "happy place" cut off in an accident and replaced with a ''finger''. He then toys with the idea and crosses over into GagPenis territory by saying, "It ain't gonna be my pinky, is it, doc? You know, I don't use my left arm all that much..."
** Subverted earlier on the same album, when he makes reference to his hypochondriac wife, who he says always has whatever newfound disease they discuss on the news: "You do ''not'' have testicular cancer. You don't even have testiculars!"
*** has also referred to condoms as codominiums.
