History Creator / JeffFoxworthy

* UnusualEuphemism:

*** 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!"
*** He has also referred to condoms as condominiums.

* ChalkOutline: In one sketch, a drunk person antagonizing a police officer asks, "If I lay down on the sidewalk, will you draw my picture with that little chalk y'all have?" In another, Jeff suggests that, if you want to keep solicitors away from your door, draw a chalk outline on your driveway and scatter religious pamphlets around it.

* NWordPrivileges: [[TropesAreNotBad What makes his act work.]] If some hipster from New York was making those "if X, you might be a redneck" jokes it'd come off as condescending and mean-spirited instead of wryly self-aware AffectionateParody.

** Jeff doesn't have any tattoos. But he muses that if he ever got one, it would a tattoo on his wrist of his anniversary date, his wife's birthday, and "Don't lend Creator/RonWhite your truck ever again."

** He has a joke about how the only tattoo he would get would be a list on his wrist that would include important anniversaries, birthdays, and "Never lend Creator/RonWhite your truck."

* OneHitWonder:[[invoked]] 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. "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" also held a chart record for the highest peak achieved by a Christmas song on the Hot Country Songs charts, later tied by Jimmy Wayne's "Paper Angels".
* OutGivingBirthBackInTwoMinutes: During a routine on childbirth, Foxworthy mentions that the shortest amount of time a woman can spend in the hospital to give birth, assuming nothing goes wrong, is six hours.
-->"Six hours?! It takes longer to make chili in a crock pot! That is one tough woman! 'Grab the kid, Randy! I got wash to do!'"
* OverthetopChristmasDecorations: This bit from him: "If your Christmas decorations are bigger than your house, you might be a redneck!"

* PornStache: He's always had one. He averts the porn star look lately by wearing glasses, and has occasionally upgraded to a goatee.
* 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!"
** It his bit about being a new father, he describes being shown his co-worker's photos of his ugly baby and reacting with "SHIT! I ain't had coffee yet! Don't ever do that again"

* ARareSentence: In the aforementioned "nipple bitten off by a beaver" skit, he mentions that, if the story made the papers, it would probably be the only time that you could have the words "nipple" and "beaver" in a newspaper without most people getting offended.

-->"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!

--->"Anal seepage"! That's not even fun to say! Much less write on a homeowner's insurance form explaining how your couch wound up sitting at the curb!

'''Patient:''' No, thanks. I'll just die, okay.

-->"We've all made mistakes. You forget to rewind the video before you take it back to Blockbuster, that's a mistake. But if you can be married to someone for 22 years and not know what gender they are, you have skeedaddled past 'mistake.' You have slammed headlong into faux pas."
* 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!"

* TheAllegedCar: According to him, used rental cars.
--> In my life, I have driven some crappy vehicles. But I have never been so desperate for a vehicle that I wanted a used rental car. Buying a used rental car is kind of like going to a house of ill repute looking for a wife. Anything that's been driven that hard by that many people, you really don't want to put your key in it. My grandma's the most careful, safe driver in the world. You put her in a rental car, and she's doing doughnuts in the Kmart parking lot!
* AlohaHawaii: A skit on ''Games Rednecks Play'' is about his family vacationing in Hawaii. His musical album adapted it into a song called "Howdy from Maui" featuring Music/TheBeachBoys and Los Straitjackets.

* AntiChristmasSong: "The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".

* 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 initially {{invert|ed}}s 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]].

** ''You Might Be a Redneck If...'' is his only album where the "you might be a redneck" jokes appear as BookEnds. In fact, it seems as if he intended for them to be only at the beginning, as near the end of the album, an audience member shouts out "Redneck!" and he clearly struggles for a few seconds before coming up with one. All subsequent albums have them as the closer except for ''Have Your Loved Ones Spayed or Neutered'', which went for SomethingCompletelyDifferent.

* AffectionateParody: Although Jeff Foxworthy lampoons stereotypes about rednecks and southerners in his comedy, the tone of the jokes is never mean-spirited or condescending. He always opens the routine by reminding the audience that he "are" a redneck himself. He says that he defines the term "redneck" as "a glorious absence of sophistication."

* ArtisticLicenseMusic: "Redneck Games", which features snippets of a routine on the 1996 Summer Olympics set to a chorus by Music/AlanJackson -- the video has Jeff repeatedly lip-syncing several of Jackson's lines, even though Jeff does no actual singing in the recording.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* {{Pun}}: Most of his "redneck words" are these, such as "apparent" ("Judgin' by yer belly, I'd say you were gonna be apparent soon.") or "sensuous" ("Sensuous up, get me a beer.").

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Considering he mines his family for jokes, he's obviously one. Specifically he mentioned once when he was hosting an awards show for CMT, he did a [[http://www1.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Lisa+Rinna+Jeff+Foxworthy+Entertainment+Pictures+MJpXZyzzPOxl.jpg hilariously bad]] dance number with Lisa Rinna. The first thing he heard when he saw his family again was his daughter screaming "Dad, we have to go to school tomorrow!"

** In the same bit, Larry raises his hand somewhat reluctantly regarding an incident where he wound up wearing a dress, to which Jeff responds "Think about [[{{Squick}} that]] and try to sleep tonight."

* 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.
