What Makes Redneck Humor Funny?
Jeff Foxworthy, of You Might Be A Redneck fame, relates a funny story about redneck humor. Upon arriving in New York City to further his career, he was told that he was funny – but he was repeatedly advised to drop the accent. The big audiences, they told him, wouldn’t like him with an accent.
Not only did he turn them down, he turned out to be right. Foxworthy, accent and all, is one of the funniest redneck humorists out there – and is currently the most successful funny man in the country. His albums have sold millions, his shows regularly sell out, he’s had two network television shows, movies, DVDs, and even a Sirius radio network dedicated to his trademark “blue collar humor”.
There are some significant differences between redneck humor and what you’d have to call New York humor, as there should be; both types of humor owe a lot to the cultures from which they came.
Redneck humor tends to poke fun at itself; New York humor tends to make fun of other people, often in an emotionally painful way.
Redneck humor relies as much on that slow, methodical delivery of the punchline as on the punchline itself. Other types of humor generally focus on the punchline or on shocking people.
Redneck humor tends to be gentle and, ultimately, loving. It pokes fun at cousin Curtis, who’s known to be kinda slow but still loved by the family. New York humor doesn’t have a lot of love for anybody. Many times, it doesn’t even like anybody else.
Redneck humor does not put on airs. It knows it’s redneck and is comfortable with that. In contrast, a lot of Saturday Night Live humor seems forced, faked, and contrived. It originates from pain instead of from love.
Humor as a Stress Reducer and Energizer
Work is often associated with stress, and we know that stress is one of the main causes of illness, absenteeism, and burnout. Humor is a great stress reliever because it makes us feel good, and we can’t feel good and feel stress simultaneously. At the moment we experience humor, feelings like depression, anger, and anxiety dissolve.
Humor and, its partner, laughter also reduce stress by activating the physiological systems including the muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, and skeletal. In fact, we may even lose muscle control, as many of us have, when we laugh so hard that we fall down or wet our pants. Laughter has been labeled a jogging and juggling of the internal organs. When we laugh we feel physically better, and after laughter we feel lighter and more relaxed.
In addition, humor provides a psychological stress reducer as it snaps our thinking to another channel. Norman Cousins called it trainwrecks of the mind. One of the characteristics of humor is that it involves incongruity. We find things humorous when they are incongruous or mismatched. Good jokes guide us down one path only to suddenly track us onto another. The tracking is what we call the punch line. As we are tracked over, our thinking shifts and, in fact, breaking the mind set of the thinking leads to increased creativity.
Consider the story of the midwestern farmer crossing Harvard square searching for the library. He approaches a stately looking gentleman, who happens to be a Harvard English professor, and he asks, “Excuse me sir. Can you tell me where the library is at?” The professor looks somewhat disdainfully and replies, “At Harvard we do not end sentences with prepositions.” After a pause the farmer turns back to the professor and asks, “Well then, can you tell me where the library is at…Asshole.” In this joke we are guided down one path and suddenly tracked over to another. The incongruity is what we experience as humorous.
