History Creator / JeffFoxworthy

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.

* YouDoNotWantToKnow: One of his routines in ''Games Rednecks Play'' involves him as a teenager trying to sneak home from a late night out. When his mother catches him, she inverts it by saying she ''didn't'' want to know what he was doing, then goes back on it and asks anyway. She [[TooMuchInformation quickly regrets it]], though [[AllMenArePerverts his dad wants to know more]].

* 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.

* PrecisionFStrike: On ''Games Rednecks Play'', he criticizes the PointAndLaughShow where people will air their dirty laundry on national television, and complain about how poor upbringing has left them in a sorry state. He says that just once, he would love to hear one of them say, "My daddy was great, my mama was great — I'm just a shithead!"

** Jeff also once discussed an incident where a man was married to a woman for 22 years before finding out his was, in fact, another man, and a news story that talk about the husband's 'mistake.'

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Jeff makes up a hilarious scenario where a man with a hairy back at a state fair is revealed to be a woman with kids. He tops it all off with "Oh, no, it's Aunt Betty!"

* HeroicBSOD: He has one in a skit where he can't find the remote to change the channel to a football game after turning his living room upside down looking for it. For all of ten seconds before he wife comes in and finds it for him. [[HereWeGoAGain Then after his team scores a touchdown, he starts looking for the phone to call a friend...]]

* OldShame: The elf costume he wore for music video for "The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas". He [[FacePalm face palmed]] while the other Blue Collar members and the audience were in hysterics when a screenshot of it was shown during the third Blue Collar film.

YMMV about his works [[YMMV/JeffFoxworthy here]].

* 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…"
** To show how less profane he got: the Laughing Hyena albums that don't snip out the profanity leave in F-bombs and the S-word. He used the S-word twice on ''You Might Be a Redneck If…'', once on ''Games Rednecks Play'' (see below), and has been pretty much PG rated ever since.

** Producer Scott Rouse sampled Jeff Foxworthy's "redneck" jokes with a musical backing and released it as a single called "Redneck Stomp". After it was a commercial success, Rouse took some of Jeff's other material and gave it a musical backing, often adding an appropriately themed chorus sung by a popular country artist. (For instance, "Games Rednecks Play" takes snippets from that album's routine about the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and adds a chorus sung by Music/AlanJackson.) Many of these "songs" were compiled into ''Crank It Up: The Music Album'', which also included a couple regular standup routines and the "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas". Rouse also sampled Creator/BillEngvall's work in similar fashion in later years.

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 Series/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.

* ActingForTwo: Present in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJOe3CXE-mA music video]] for "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".

* UsefulNotes/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?" "Y'an'to?" "A'ight." Foxworthy has even released an entire "Redneck Dictionary" series.

* IAteWhat: In one skit, he remembers his young daughter giving him a peanut and butter jelly sandwich on Ritz crackers. After he eats it, the daughter asks if he wants to know how she made it. She responds that she chewed up some peanuts and spit them on one cracker, then chewed up some raisins and spit them on the other. After she asks if he wants another, he declines and asks her to offer one to her mother.

-->"Our oldest child has discovered the little silver handle on the back of the toilet. She's making more stuff disappear than Creator/DavidCopperfield! My wife's lost three combs, I lost my good sunglasses. We're pretty sure she's flushed the remote control, 'cause every time we go to the bathroom, the TV comes on!"

* PoorMansPorn: Discussed in a sketch on Victoria's Secret catalogs. "Free home-delivered catalogs of women in their underwear? God bless America! Well, think about it. We never got anything like that when we were growing up and ''needed'' it! Hell, all we ever got was the Sears catalog. Had those old high waisted granny panties, and those bras you could measure first downs with."

* 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.
