Joke series about rural, working-class Americans

A redneck joke is: a joke about rednecks—working-class, "rural," southern white Americans. For example,

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.

These jokes can be a form of classism, depending on the "teller." Jeff Foxworthy is a comedian that specializes in telling redneck jokes. 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."
  • "If you have no cars that are mobile and 14 cars that aren't, then you might be a redneck."
