you might be a redneck if here’s your sign and Git R done.
I passed by the Rose Quarter while it was promoting a show of a particular bent. Roll through the punch-lines, three Southern accents.
“You might be a redneck.”
“Here’s your sign.”
“GIT ‘R DONE!!”
Roll throught the information on the show’s time and place. Then roll through a full joke for each of these catch-phrases.
I have to take a pause to consider the question of whether they’re all the same joke. The Jeff Foxworthy and “Other Guy” jokes seem to boil down to the same routine, but I’m a bit lost at whether Larry the Cable Guy’s routine is a variation of the same joke. I don’t know — it seems to mostly be the “Say the thing really loud” line of comedy — I admit I have never bothered to pay attention to the structure of the joke. Is the joke that he’s proposing to do impossible and stupid things?
I know of “Here’s your sign” as a Country Novelty hit in, I guess, 1997. It seemed to have an unusual amusement value to some of my peers in my high school for roughly two days, and then disappeared — as it was meant to do. It was incorrectly referenced as from “Jeff Foxworthy, or something” — which boosters my point that it is the same stupid routine.
I don’t know if the Country Station in this city is giving away tickets to this event, but I do have the perfect phone-in contest to win tickets to this comedy extravaganza. Play through the lines “You might be a redneck”, “Here’s your sign” and “GIT ‘R Dun” and ask simply — “Who’s that other guy — the ‘Here’s your sign’ guy?” The problem is it may be a radio contest that doesn’t get the correct answer in time for the show.
