I thought the phase of 'you might be a redneck' was over. But it was only the beginning.
First off all - for a comedy, it's not very funny. Blue Collar TV, or redneck standup. It's a simple formula to make a hillbilly joke. Take anything. Take any noun or action or pop culture fad attach the word "redneck" to it. Take anything. It will eventually be a blue collar TV skit.
For example, take a wind chime and redneck it - now you have a wind chime made out of beer cans. Hilarious. Take a popular movie, like Batman and redneck it - now you've got a Batman superhero that drinks beer, drives a tractor, and uses duct tape to descend from the ceiling (or to hold his utility belt on, so long as duct tape gets worked into the skit). Fart jokes used to be funny before redneck comedy.
Redneck comedy isn't terrible if you have to sit through it once. But it's not like that. It's basically the same joke in each skit - stereotypical hillbillies do things a little bit different than you and me. All they do is dress it a little different each time. Whether a Redneck Martha Stewart bit or a Redneck Home shopping network…WE FUCKING GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop beating the joke to death like a newborn seal.
There's a list of about 10 stereotypes THAT MUST be in every redneck comedy bit.
1. Fart joke
2. Fixing Something with Duct Tape and/or a Hammer
3. Reference to heavy beer drinking
4. Lawn Care
5. Cinder Blocks supporting something
6. Jean cutoff shorts and sleeveless flannel
7. Over-exaggerated Southern Accents
8. Giving the camera a 'thumbs up'
9. Loud Burping while simultaneously grabbing crotch
10. Someone asking where the remote is
I'm sure there's a few more subtle differences, but who cares? I hate the country image. It's not normal to still think you are a cowboy. Most kids give up that idea when they are four. Country music sucks. Country Comedy sucks. People who like these thinks are simple-minded and ignorant.
The best part about this is that I can make fun of rednecks all I want because none of them have the internet at all - and even if they did, it's not like they can read anyway. Along with the whole state of West Virginia. Don't get me started on West Virginia. (Too late)
Anyway, West Virginia, is without a doubt, the worst state in the existence of the United States and its territories (including Canada). The only reason people drive through West Virginia is because its quicker than driving around it. In fact, the only reason WV built a turnpike is so travelers from afar can come and bring back news and mail from the other thriving 49 states.
The reason no one like WV is because of the vicious cycle of redneck stereotypes - along with Alabama. See, people call West Virginias "rednecks" and "hillbillies" - this stems from listening to "comedians" (I'm using that termed loosely here), such as Larry the Cable Guy, who claimed that all rednecks are from West Virginia. Then, West Virginias get all pissy since they are the butt of the joke, and when someone from Ohio or New York passes through to stop for gas, they get treated like shit- which only helps to fuel the stereotype that everyone from West Virginia sucks.
I'm just kidding. No one listens to redneck comedians seriously. Everyone in West Virginia sucks cause they are poor and stupid creatures. LOL! This one time I was at a Wendy's in West Virginia's only town with running water and electricity, and I tried paying with one of those new colored $20 dollar bills, and there was a 10 minute conference of three employees, two managers, and a customer trying to tell if the bill was actually legal American currency. The one was removing his glasses to examine it, another kept holding it up to the 1000 watt fry warmer light to try and see if the bill had the famous counterfeit line, until finally they realized it was not fake.
What a pointless story. But you read it anyway.
