Redneck isn’t really a southern thing. There are native Alaskan and Canadian rednecks and everywhere in between.

Maybe I should post my video so you can see authentic southern rednecks. You just don't see them in Alaska or Canada.

Larry is a fraud with a good shtick.

Jerry Clower’s story “A New Bull” is a real classic.

You’re talking about an accent, I’m talking about an attitude and philosophy.

As I said, I was raised in the south. We lived on a dirt road in what could best be described as the swamps of Northern Florida/Southern Georgia. Of 8 kids, the eldest 4 were born in the house and the youngest 4 were fortunate enough to have been born in a hospital. We got our first TV in 1966. I knew what they were as I had seen one before at a neighbors. We didn’t have a phone until then also. We chopped wood for heat and eat, drank and bathed in sulfur water. I would imagine there are few southerners who live today the way we did back then but I have been back there many times and have never seen one. In the south in the 60s, everyone was a redneck.

It makes me laugh to think that there are so many people who think “Larry the Cable Guy” is a real person. It is a character, just like “Red Green” is a character.

The fact that so many easily swallow these characters as being real helps explain why so many slimy leftist politicians can make people believe their public personas (characters) are real.

Gullible people: The U.S. has got ‘em.

I saw him do his “normal” act at McCurdys Comedy Club in Sarasota FL back in early 90’s..forget when exactly. He was just getting to be known as “Larry The Cable guy” via weekly spots on the Ron-and-Ron radio show when he would call in as Larry. My wife was a waitress at the club, so I’d dropped in every once and a while when getting a babysitter was warranted. He did about the first 60% of the show with his “normal” act like the clip shows, but everyone started chanting “Larry, Larry, Larry..”, so he gave in and did the rest of the show as we all know him today..lol Ah memories of the old days...

I live in ‘redneck country’....and PROUD of it! I get tickled watching ‘Swamp People’ because they put subtitles on it for the ‘city folk’. *snort*

I grew up listening to Jerry Clower and coon hunting. The guy we used to sell hides to was a Georgia redneck near Munith Michigan. When we walked into there it was like stepping into central Georgia with all the cousins and nephews he had working for him.

Jerry was a dear friend of mine, and I can tell you for a fact that he was as genuine as the day was long. You couldn’t find a truer friend, a better Christian, or a funnier man.

When my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Jerry sat down and taped an entire routine just for him, starting off, “Rev. Clews, this here is Jerry Clower ...” and then launching into some of his most hilarious material.

What a wonderful man. What treasured memories.

He’s too sophisticated and eloquent to be a redneck.

He was born in Nebraska and raised in West Palm Beach.

My wife was born, and spent the first three years of her life, in the far west corner of rural Virginia. She then spent the rest of her childhood growing up in West Palm Beach, Florida.

To this day, there's no mistaking her accent. She'll never lose that twang.

Dan is a good guy. His family lived done the road a piece from me in Pawnee City.

I remember he would call up the talk radio stations in Omaha/Lincoln back in the 90's with some jokes and do his version of Christmas carol songs.

Big Nebraska Cornhusker fan.

Boy Howdy. We had that whole Scots-Irish redneck thing going on up in Tennessee.

That show rankles me. I hate to see Southern people made fun of when there are just as many low-IQ, booger-pickin’, uni-brows up North.

Yes, Jerry was a good man, when he was a fertilizer salesman, he would eat at our house or we would all go to Doe’s Eat Place.

Okay I just posted a THREAD with a link to the bizarre redneck scene from a VERY LOW budget 1957 movie. Everything about the movie was crap from the copycat music to the horrible acting but the accents and attitudes are authentic. And that scene featuring the redneck called "Crackers" and the Boss Redneck is beyond bizarre.

I grew up about 40 miles straight west of Pawnee City. His accent (on the video) is exactly the same as mine which is no accent. You Chicago guys, now that’s an accent!!(kidding)

Larry (or Dan or whatever) lives down in Lincoln now most of the time. He donates multi millions of dollars to charity and alot to the Husker athletic department so he is a pretty popular guy. I haven’t met him personally but used to go see him in the local comedy club before he hit it big with the Blue Collar Comedy tour. He used to call into radio shows and do comedy bits as Larry the Cable Guy back in the late 90’s and it just kind of blossomed from there I think. Many of his comedy bits on the radio shows were very conservative and not making fun us, either. His tagline on these rants was “what the hell is this, Russia?” even before git r done.

I have some friends from central Georgia. The father and 6 uncles were all ministers who all “got the spirit” at the same time in a tent revival back in the 50s.

Good people who held to a few simple rules. Don’t curse around the womenfolk, A handshake is a contact, and a favor done without without being asked is one that will be repaid the same way.

I had a flat tire one time and my friend’s dad said he would pick me up so I could get it fixed. Two hours later I was wondering where he was and he showed up with 4 good used tired all mounted and ready to go on my truck. I spent the rest of that summer checking in with he and his wife to see if they needed any help with things.

On the other hand there are plenty of good folks here from the north who are the same way. One of the old timers in my home town showed up and gave a car to a friend of mine. Said he got a good deal on it and couldn’t pass it up but didn’t need it. He told my friend he could pay back the $500 when he could.
