You might actually be one. Redneck was originally a slur used towards the Irish (and let's be honest any British person that didn't have that standard 'public school' accent). It's associated with the South because a lot of them moved from major cities that were heavily discriminatory to farming and mining jobs that seemed to have a preference for them. The Southern accent is basically an amalgamation of Irish, French, Spanish, and usually another language which changes state to state.
Red neck is a racist name black people would call white people and they embraced it.
In the south, southern black people would call whites southern people red necks. THIS IS WHERE IT CAME FROM.
If your girlfriend asks you if She smells good, tell her she stinks well. 😎
“Someone jiggle the handle” refers to the toilet running. Easy fix, but jiggling the handle is the lazy fix lol.
If you want to explore the world of Southern comedians, look up the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and Ron White. Also check out Henry Cho, he's super funny too. James Gregory was too, he recently passed on. If you're interested in past comedians, Jerry Clower (from my state), Grandpa Jones, Minnie Pearl, basically watch Hee Haw episodes, think you'd like it. 😊 Enjoy! 😊
"Jiggle the handle" is a reference to an old toilet that keeps running because the plunger inside the tank isn't watertight. Jiggling the handle might fix the problem, until the toilet is flushed again.
First rule of house plumbing!
My entire family is from Mississippi (I was born in a military hospital and have never lived there)..... but you know what. It costs about $3 to get a new flapper and 30 seconds to install it! Why do people persist in handle jiggling? We never did have that problem in my family. And Tupelo Honey down there may know my fam if she's from actual Tupelo.
Yup.
Ours!! Lol
@@Laura-mi3nv Cheapness, so broke even $3 is hard to get , lazyness or lack of knowledge. Or a combination thereof.
Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White and Jeff Foxworthy, aka The Blue Collar Comedy tour are all hysterical.
100%
I can here just to recommend this movie lol
Bill Engvall's "Here's your sign" is just as hilarious as Jeff's "You might be a redneck"
yes this comedy special was the BEST
An absolute must see! I still have a hard time seeing Ron White and Dr. Phil as big buddies, sharing family vacations!
This is a really old clip but it stands the test of time.
so good!
Early 90s
Totally early 90's
Funny in every decade. And that's what a lot of people don't seem to understand about humor. That if you're punching down, it's a bully, but if you're punching sideways or punching up then it's not. This is definitely punching sideways. And rednecks don't mind that they're rednecks. That's why it's funny.
@@MoreAdamCouserhay I’m an American from NC and I’m in Belfast right now and I’ll be hear until the thirty first of December and I love it hear it’s so nice
Jeff was one of my favorite comedians. He was always telling "clean" joker. No bad language, no politics.
Here's some other Jeff Foxworthy jokes I've heard from him:
If you're too drunk to fish...
If someone yells "Hoedown!" and your girlfriend hits the deck...
If you've been married three times and still have the same in-laws...
If the word "NASCAR" appears anywhere in your wedding vows...
Jeff Foxworthy is a national treasure.
The one that defined me was: "If your matching salad bowls say COOL WHIP on the side..."
"If you go to a family reunion to meet women."
If your honeymoon was shown on true stories of the highway patrol... if your neighbors think you're a detective because you get brought home by the police constantly... If you've ever had your nipple bitten off by a beaver... If you have as much teeth as your 2 year old...
A LOT of the redneck part of the south was settled by immigrants from Northern England, Scotland & Ireland sooo you might not tick every box but I'd place a sizeable wager that you are descended from the same stock.
Yup. Me too.
Yes, you are correct. My father spent 40 years tracing our family tree. My great, great, ...etc. grandfather came from the Isle of Skye and was in a Highland regiment during the American Revolution. He was wounded and could not go back. He stayed in North Georgia/North Carolina. I'm VERY proud of my Scottish/Southern "Redneck" heritage.
Reply
Plus, he described (in technical terms) WHAT a Redneck actually IS! (When he talked about how HE is a Redneck & how the term came about.)
Back in 2008, I spent a week driving through Ireland, and, as a born and bred Appalachian Southerner, I thought it felt very close to home. Except for the accent and driving on the other side of the road. But eating at local diners in small towns felt the same. And people were super friendly in the same way, except in the more urban Dublin.
@@wtk6069 Appalachia was settled particulary by people from Northern Ireland. The real Irish came during the famine and settled cities like Boston, New York, Philly etc.
If your pocket knife has ever been referred to as “exhibit A”
If you’ve ever used an unemployment check to make a payment on your Harley Davidson…
If your bass boat has ever been involved in a police chase.
Foxworthy’s awesome, thanks for reacting to this.
Red neck originates with Scottish Jacobites who wore a red bandana around their necks. A lot if them immigrated to the Southern states of America especially the Appalachian region.
Jiggling the handle is how to get the stopper in an old-fashioned US toilet to go into place so the water will stop running in the toilet.
watch their blue collar comedy tour its hilarious. jeff foxworthy, bill engvall, larry the cable guy and ron white.
You can’t fix stupid. Best Ron White line ever.
My favorite one that isn't in this video was: "If you've been interviewed on TV more than three times describing what the tornado sounded like ... "
Legit, man has an engineering degree from a reputable tech college in Atlanta. Makes a living telling on his family. Love it.
Uh oh. Adam 'bout to stumble down the red neck rabbit hole o' comedy.
Watching Adam going through the roller-coaster of self-realization is always a good time.😂❤ Jeff Foxworthy is so nostalgic for me now! Hey Adam, check out the Great Mississippi Squirrel Revival by Ray Stevens.
The song was also covered by Home Free, a country acapella group you've reacted to before.
Since you like Jeff so much, you should check out the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and Them Idiots Whirled Tour shows! These consist of Jeff with 2-3 other Southern comedian legends (all four in the three BCCT DVDs, just three in the TIWT DVD)-Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy, and Ron White-all doing their own jokes and then doing improv together at the end. They are HILARIOUS! The Blue Collar Boys were a phenomenon here in the States, and 20 years later we still enjoy their humor. Bill also did a couple of specials called The New All-Stars of Country Comedy (also on DVD) that featured a bunch of less-popular but also hilarious comedians performing routines, some of whom had been working the circuit for years at that point. Jeff and Larry also do routines. Bill, by the way, is as known for his “Here’s Your Sign” jokes as Jeff is for his many “You Might Be a Redneck” jokes. I cannot recommend them all enough!
Got introduced to Ron shock from one of those dvds. Best. Purchase. Ever. Lol
Larry the Cable Guy is actually from Nebraska, Ron White and Bill Engvall are from Texas
1:50 - jiggling the handle means you have a broken down toilet that either won't flush or won't stop running. Sometimes those problems are temporarily fixed by jiggling the toilet handle
Runny toilet
If you've ever been too drunk to fish...
If your family tree doesn't branch...
Jeff is a legend of comedy, He has sold the most comedy records of all time. He and a few of his buddies have toured as the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. All 4 of them are a riot and worth looking in to. I have to admit Jeff and his friend Bill Engvall (I recommend getting into his stuff as well) are my favorites. Jeff has also sold a ton of books and has hosted some shows like Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? I enjoy your content, keep it coming.
Ron White was the best!
Jeff Foxworthy is fantastic. Thanks for the upload.
thanks for watching!
Remember to cut your toenails!?!?!?😂😂😂
Jeff Foxworthy is an American treasure!!!😊
Jiggle the handle refers to when you flush the toilet and it continues to run. You have to "jiggle" the handle to make the water stop running.🤪
Me and my son went to see his show in our hometown in Alabama about 30 years ago! He was super funny 😂
Bill Engvall's "Here's your sign" is always funny to watch.
Grew up watching Jeff Foxworthy, from Arkansas! Glad you found him
awesome!
"jiggle handle " means the toilet kept running after someone flushed. Wiggling the handle would sometimes reset the float in the tank and turn off the water.
Check out Blue Collar Comedy Tour…Jeff Foxwothy, Bill Engvall. Ron White, and my favorite Larry the Cable Guy ! Hilarious ! Larry the Cable Guy is about as red neck as you can get !
This... Watch both "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie" and "The Blue Comedy Tour Rides Again"
"what's that mean?"
When your toilet 🚽 doesn't seal right so the water keeps running after you flushed it, you have to jiggle the handle until the seal set rights so it stops running.
DUDE!!!!!!!!!! Congrats from south Gawwwgia (USA) on reaching 200K subscribers. Best of luck to you on reaching 300K and Merry Christmas to you and you family.
Surprised that you got the "Piggly Wiggly" reference. For those that don't know Piggly Wiggly is a grocery store chain in the American South.
There were some in Wisconsin.
@ Really, I had no idea.
Piggly wiggly actually invented the concept of a supermarket
@@toddlower5546 I think there still is one in Merrill but I know there was one in Prairie Du Chien.
Even if you don't know what Piggly Wiggly is, it's pretty easy to figure out from context. I remember listening to this album as a teen in Canada and got the joke even though I'd never seen nor heard of Piggly Wiggly.
Home-grown Georgia talent. Even funnier after a few beers.
Historical fact, the term "red neck" originated in northern West Virginia with union miners.
In Scotland in the 1640s, the Covenanters rejected rule by bishops, often signing manifestos using their own blood. Some wore red cloth around their neck to signify their position, and were called rednecks by the Scottish ruling class to denote that they were the rebels in what came to be known as The Bishop's War that preceded the rise of Cromwell. Eventually, the term began to mean simply "Presbyterian", especially in communities along the Scottish border. Because of the large number of Scottish immigrants in the pre-revolutionary American South, some historians have suggested that this may be the origin of the term in the United States. (from Wikapedia) The term followed the Presbyterian Scots-Irish to America - In the Southern States the planter class also looked down the Scots-Irish who were mostly Presbyterian.
@@DoyleRichards-v1l I've heard that the term originated because farmers kept their shirts buttoned up at the neck, and the summer sun would cause the exposed area, of the neck, to turn red.
My dad told me when he and my mom got married he got a block of rooms for his family at this really nice hotel he worked at. They showed up in flip flops and cut off shorts carrying coolers and grocery bags. He said he saw them and hid behind a pillar until they were checked in. 😂
This dude just lives a normal life as a small town farmer now who's actually discovered a hidden talent for painting. Made a pretty funny party board game too
I performed these jokes once at my Junior High Talent Show and again at my Senior High Talent Show and got the whole place laughing.
During the latter performance, everyone booed the 11th Graders for giving me an 8 while everyone else gave me 10s; even the teachers
The guy was genius. If you think about it, he took the standard joke and inverted it. The punchline was already known: you might be a redneck, but he made it so the setup was the funniest part. He became one of the most successful comedians of all time with this. Other people copied the style, but he is still in his own class, as far as comedy.
I’ve been watching for a few months (yes, I subscribed). I have to say you have one of the funniest and more interesting channels on YT. Great content and little shit like “remember to cut your toenails” leave this old man belly laughing. Great work
I remember when the “might be a redneck” came out and then realized Jeff is from 15 miles away. I then realized why it was funny but familiar.
The vanilla extract used in making chocolate chip cookies smells better than any perfume.
Good clean humor.
90’s Foxworthy. Classic stuff. At one time he was every bit as big as Seinfeld. Jeff’s still around but he doesn’t do much comedy anymore. He leads a quiet life with his family. Got grandkids now and leads a Bible study ministry in his community, I believe. By all accounts a good man.
Great reaction Adam. I love Jeff Foxworth. You should react to more of his comedy and check out some Bill Engvall comedy.
3:42 His family held the only "Peeing for Distance" contest the hotel had ever had and his AUNT ROSE won! 😂
The hotel should place a bronze plaque, there, commemorating this historic event.
Redneck here. You should look into the 2010 May flood in Nashville. My property was completely flooded within 3 hours. There were people driving their boats down the interstate.
Believe It or Not Jeff Foxworthy is the biggest selling comedian of all time. He has sold more comedy albums than any comedian in history
Interesting.
The Blue Collar Comedy tour, who could forget Ron White, “they call me tater salad”.
Bro, your reaction game is top notch. Nobody is even close to the classic content you put out and I want to thank you for the entertainment.
Only self-confident, mature folk can freely laugh at themselves. The Scotch-Irish folk who settled the South (Southern U.S.A., Dixie, the CSA) were known for their love of music, laughter, and leisure living--the opposite of the materialistic folk of the North.
The Blue Collar Comedy Tour is a wealth of hilarity. They're all funny af! You should definitely check out more of them, I especially think you'd like Ron White. He's a bit dirtier with his stories but it's hilarious!
You should watch "John Pinette around the world in 80 buffets," if you laugh you have to go skydiving in a wedding dress
I don’t know if you will see this but I’m an American from NC and I’m in Belfast right now I will be here for two weeks
Oh, sweet sweet Adam. You sir, have all the makings of being a Red Neck. It was apparent the first time we saw and/or heard you. Just know you have a community to forever belong to. Welcome to the South.
Glad you like his material, Adam.
Bill Engvall is right up your ally, too.
Jiggling the handle on the toilet usually stops the water running. 😂
LOL! Every time a European watches this they have no idea what he’s talking about.
Larry the Cable Guy for sure should be next! 🤣 Get'r done.
jiggle the handle refers to a sticky float arm on the toilet tank float, you have to giggle the handle to loosen it so the toilet will stop trying to fill and actually fill lol, it happens until you replace it.
You should check out Ron White - I Got Thrown Out of a Bar!
There are so many different British accents but I love yours! Great content buddy✌️
Larry the Cable Guy for sure should be next! 🤣
There is a recent bit ‘Jeff Foxworthy wearing a pizza box and I cried laughing.
"Redneck" is a derogatory American term for someone who has to perform low skilled "menial labor" jobs like farming, ranching, etc, out in the hot sun all day and gets a "farmer tan" (only tan-burned on their face, neck, arms), which was a sure sign of their lifestyle. The term was originally meant to be an insult but eventually evolved to be a point of pride in many communities. Yes, there are "redneck" types all over the world, regardless of color.
The other day my husband comes up from behind me and gave me a huge hug and kiss. He then tells me that I smell so good. It took me a minute to figure out what he was smelling. It was bacon grease. I had pickup up the last of the mornings bacon and with the grease on my fingers I had scratched my ear. So I guess my ear had some bacon grease on it and my husband thought I smelled good. I just thanked him and never mentioned the grease. This drove him crazy! He wanted to let me know it was the bacon grease that he was smelling. I waited until he nuzzle my ear and started to lick my ear and I told him to be careful cause I just scratched my ear and I'd just cleaned up cat puke. He kinda turned green. Then I let him know to stop trying to be cute about the bacon smell on me since I cooked a pound of bacon for breakfast! 😊
☺"your a redneck woman, not a high class broad" LOL.
You should dab some bacon grease on like it's perfume but don't tell him Then see what happens.
You’ve gotta check him out with his buddies on blue collar comedy 😂
Met him at a show in Waco Texas in the 90s. He’s super nice too. If you liked Foxworthy you need to check out the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.
Jeff is a Georgia guy who is loved by us all
Every Brit that reacts to this always has the same face when he does the "jiggle the handle" bit.
Jiggling the handle is the way people would try to make the toilet bulb seat into the tank to stop running, rather than fixing the bulb.
Fun fact, the term 'redneck' was originally a reference to Scottish Americans.
I actually flew to Germany September 12 2011 with a cooler on wheels, it was full of 75 lbs of Turkey Hill Iced Tea for my Daughter and her husband and maybe a few friends and my grandchildren each got one pint.
He became popular back in the late 1980s. He was and is hilarious. 😅
One of the differences between men and women is, if a woman says"hey smell this" it usually smells pretty good.
Check out Bill Engvall " Here's your sign "
Jeff foxworthy has always been one of my favs, glad I got to see someone from outside the states react to his jokes lol, and let me make it clear; rednecks are NOT specific to the states, a LOT of Canadians, Irish, and Australians I count in the redneck book too
Being a redneck really has nothing to do with color or nationality. I have met rednecks in 30 different countries. Their habits are very similar.
My bio-dad routinely went to Talladega via backroads only. I'm not talking two lane roads, I'm talking dirt logging roads.
the book was release on 1993. so this been around for 34 yrs now
Jeff is great, but you should also take a listen to Bill Engvall, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy. Watch The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. They are hilarious.
2:13 Definitely been there mate 😂
foxworthy is probably the biggest comic in the world, he has sold more tickets than every comic combined! Truth, look it up.
Adam, really enjoyed your reaction to Jeff. You are still one of my favorite reactors, even though you are no longer reacting to Dimash. Take care and have a blessed Christmas. 🤗
He's great. You're awesome.
His “Redneck 12 Days Of Christmas is funny too!
Blue Collar Comedy Tour is a must after watching this
Jiggle the handle...means the toilet is running and water is bypassing the flapper and makes it continuously run. So you jiggle the toilet handle in hopes of it sitting right and it stopping. If that doesn't work, you have to take off the tank lid and slightly bend the arm on the float so that it stops the water from filling the tank. Yes, I'm a woman, and yes, I own a toolbox.
He always brings a laugh!
The term Red Neck goes back to the Middle Ages of the Isles that later became the UK and Ireland. It was used to describe the poors who would work in the fields and burn their necks. Then the Scotts and Irish were sold into slavery in the colonies and the term spread to the New World. And I have traveled from mid Europe to Korea, and both coasts of the United States and everywhere in between. Red Necks are everywhere regardless of race, religion, or creed.
Stop that lie. Scotch and Irish were never enslaved in the British Colonies in America.
The Scots were never sold as slaves.
My bf picked out my perfume for me so I never have to question if he thinks it smells good (and I love it too!) I've even had coworkers ask me what it is because they liked the smell.
I’ve always felt as though the Irish were kind of the rednecks of the UK 😂
You also need to listen to Bill Engvall, "Here's your sign."
Ahhh…the good old days! Getting free towels and robes at “no charge”! Especially from Holiday Inn! Saw one at my sisters last week…must be a vintage towel because they charge you now
This guy is so funny..fun to listen
He went on to create Blue Collar Comedy…. A must see.
6:59 Not for me. I sneeze as violently as a cartoon dad, same as my maternal grandfather. Because of that, I know when I’ll sneeze up to a full minute before I actually do. And it’s rare when I have less than six consecutive cannon-shots when I sneeze
You should watch the Blue Collar Comedy Tour it has Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy ,Bill Engvall
Haha found my new favorite RUclips channel 😂
Check out “The Blue Collar comedy tour”. It’s Jeff, Bill Engvall , Ron White and Larry the cable guy.
"Giggle the handle" is a reference to an old toilet, where, when you flush, the bobber inside didn't go back down, so..."giggle the handle!"
So when you're toilet starts running, you sit there and laugh at it?
@@legionaireb Yes, or you can go and catch it!
The jiggle the handle joke means you got junkey stuff in your house that dont work
What made me laugh was when I seen him in a Golden Corral ad
Adam, please give us your absolute best ric flair "woo!"brother
You must also watch. Bill Engval, Larry the cable guy, and Ron White lol.
Jiggle the handle…after flushing the toilet, if the water keeps running, jiggle the handle to get the flap inside to close.
