It goes over well in the South for the same reasons that Katt Williams, Martin Lawrence, and back in the day Richard Pryor can say a lot of what they say in concert. When you're part of the crowd, you can get away with it and make fun of it. Just like Chris Rock points the finger back at his people, Jeff Foxworthy is just talking about things that rednecks already know to be true about themselves.

H'e my favorite of the group. "Here's your sign" and "You might be..." are very dated at this point, and "Git er done" only goes so far.

Fair enough, I didn't know he was part of the redneck crowd.

Still think the skit has run it;s course...

Git 'er done should have been retired 5 years ago. That was probably the most annoying thing to hear people say, mainly because it never only came out of someone's mouth only once.

JF is definitely steeped in the redneck culture. I agree, that bit has lost a lot of appeal. In fact, I've not heard other comedians who ripped off that "you might be..." intro to use for their own routines in a long time.

Foxworthy is largely clean. Maybe our "culture" just can't handle that anymore.
