Redneck joke
A redneck joke is a joke about rednecks — working-class, rural or southern white Americans.[1] For example,[2]
| “ | A genie comes upon an African-American, a Jew and a redneck. He grants each a wish. The African-American wishes that his people be returned to Africa; the Jew that his people be returned to Israel. Once the redneck realises that all the blacks and Jews have left America, he wishes for a beer. | ” |
Jeff Foxworthy is a comedian that specializes in telling redneck jokes.[3] For example:
- "If you've ever cut your grass and found a car, you might be a redneck."
- "If you've ever been too drunk to fish, you might be a redneck."
- "If you've ever made change in the offering plate...guilty...you might be a redneck."
