''If you can describe the comedian here, you might be a Troper!''
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 ''[[The Jeff Foxworthy Show|Jeff Foxworthy Show]]'' (which lasted a total of two seasons across two networks), and one-quarter of the stand-up troupe for ''The [[Blue Collar Comedy]] Tour''. He is the host of the quiz show ''[[Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?|Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader]]?''
Foxworthy's fanbase mainly overlaps with [[Country Music]]. 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 [[Alan Jackson]]'s "I Don't Even Know Your Name" and hosted a country music radio show called ''The Foxworthy Countdown'' from 1999 to 2009.
Line 21:
* [[Acting for Two]]: Present in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJOe3CXE-mA music video] for "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".
* [[Anti Christmas Song]]: "The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas." Also a [[Misattributed Song]] in many ways, since Foxworthy is not typically a singer (even though the song itself is more of a narration).
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: When people make up their own redneck jokes, they always start with "You might be a redneck if...". However, even though that is the name of the album, Foxworthy always uses the formula "If you[r] _____, yooouuuu might be a redneck."
** On ''Fifth Grader'', he uses "If you ____, you might not be smarter than a 5th grader."
* [[Bowdlerize]]: Some issues of his Laughing Hyena albums snip out the more profane parts... ''very'' awkwardly and poorly.
Line 28:
* [[The Eponymous Show]]: His self-titled sitcom.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "If you think ''[[The Nutcracker (Theatre)|The Nutcracker]]'' is [[Groin Attack|something you did off the high dive]]" is present in "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".
* [["Just Joking" Justification]]: Subverted after making a joke about having a cat stuffed by a taxidermist:
{{quote| '''Jeff''': Did I offend someone in the audience? It's a joke. I have two cats. ([[Beat]]) One on either side of the fireplace.}}
** Played straight with the "You're either gay or married" skit, which was a [["Just Joking" Justification]] for a joke that he felt might be misconstrued as homophobic.
* [[Laxative Prank]]: 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. [[Larry the Cable Guy]] then pipes up that he's been on both sides of that particular prank.
* [[Mooning]]: He has a whole skit about it on ''Games Rednecks Play''.
