I was watching some Jeff Dunham videos on YouTube, recently.
And it occurred to me that this guy is pandering to the FOX NEWS crowd.
His puppet schtick is patently racist, almost all of it.
Then he had one puppet, a redneck idiot.
Just every cliche' stereotype dumb redneck joke imaginable being done there.
The audience is totally loving it.
And this seems to be a commonality in stand-up comedy aimed at Southerners, dumb redneck jokes.
Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck..." routine comes to mind.
Hell, even Jerry Clower and Ray Stevens do it.
It just seems a little strange that the audience would get a kick out of being made fun of CONSTANTLY by these people.
Then, they get offended when people assume Southerners are all dumb rednecks.
Does this make any sense?
