In 1993, he released You Might Be a Redneck If... which started the "You Might Be a Redneck" fad, topped the comedy album charts, and sold more than 3 million copies.
In 1995, he starred in The Jeff Foxworthy Show, a sitcom created out of his stand-up comedy persona. It aired on ABC, but was cancelled after one season. NBC subsequently picked up the show, but it was again cancelled after one season. Foxworthy later remarked that the network did not understand how to properly market his humor; thinking his routine was "too Southern" for a national network, they based the first season of his sitcom in Bloomington, Indiana. The ABC run of the show can now be seen on Nick at Nite and CMT.
In the early 2000s, Foxworthy had a career resurgence as a result of the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour," in which he and three other comedians (Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, and Bill Engvall), specializing in common-man comedy, toured the country and performed for record crowds. The tour lasted three full years, constantly being extended after an initial run of 20 shows.
In 2004, he launched a new television show called Blue Collar TV on The WB Television Network and Comedy Central. He serves as executive producer, and stars alongside Blue Collar Comedy Tour-mates Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall. (Ron White turned the show down but made occasional guest appearances.) The show was relatively successful compared to the anemic performance of the WB's other sitcoms. However, on Larry the Cable Guy's website, he says the show was "cancelled" on October 17, 2005 by the network. Reruns of "Blue Collar TV" continued until the network merged with UPN to form The CW.
Jeff has resurrected the "Blue Collar TV" format (albeit with only himself participating along with some of the Blue Collar TV co-hosts) called "Foxworthy's Big Night Out," which airs on the Country Music Television channel in America. (CMT) "Foxworthy's Big Night Out" began airing in summer 2006.
Foxworthy also hosts The Foxworthy Countdown, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show featuring country music hits.
Foxworthy has authored books including You Might Be a Redneck If... (1989) and related "redneck humor" books, as well as No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem! (1996). He also has released a cookbook entitled The Redneck Grill, co-authored with David Boyd, and Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary: Words You Thought You Knew the Meaning Of (2005).
In 2005, Jeff Foxworthy was roasted in a TV special called Comedy Central Roast of Jeff Foxworthy.
---->Triva:
Foxworthy has been married since 1985 to Pamela Gregg. They were married in Central Park. Based on a popular Foxworthy routine, Pamela will often be greeted in public with "So you're the one with the cold butt!" (A line from the bit: "Why is it that when a woman gets into bed, the temperature of her feet and butt drop to below freezing? . . . I can lick my hand, put it on my wife's butt, and it will stick.") The couple are the parents of two daughters, Jordan (b. 1992) and Julianne (b. 1994).
Contrary to popular belief, he is not the cousin of Bill Engvall.
His family has nine young girls. He has two, he lives next to his brother, who has three, and their sister has four.
Later on in 2006, Foxworthy will voice the character Lyle in the Disney movie The Fox and the Hound 2.
Turned down a part in the movie RV because he felt that he would be away from his family for too long.
Jeff Foxworthy stars in a new internet short by Don't Be That Guy Films called "Practical Gifts", in which he explains the importance of getting loved ones "gifts they can use" instead of "gifts they want".

You Might Be A Redneck If..
Jeff Foxworthy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Discribing what the tornadoe sounded like...
You might be a redneck.
If you've ever cut your grass and found a car...
You might be a redneck.
If your dad walks you to school because your in the same grade...
You might be a redneck.
If you′ve ever been too drunk to fish...
If somebody asks to see your ID and you show them your belt buckle.
If every day somebody comes to your house mistakenly thinking your having a yard sale.
If you've ever had to haul a can of paint to defend your sister's honor.
You might be a redneck.
If your dog and your wallet are both on a chain...
You might be a redneck.
They always make fun of the way I talk, I keep telling them I said your gonna be
Real surprised when you get into the habit in St. Petersburg and say,
"Yo′all get into the truck, we goin up to the big house."
If you′ve ever financed a tattoo...
If you've ever made change in the offering plate...
You might be a redneck.
We have words in the south they don′t have in other parts of the country.
Now, you come to the south, we have words like... you'ant to.
We goin to the mall, you′ant to?
What letter does that start with, does anybody know?
I like this word alot... aight.
That's a word in Texas... aight.
Round lunch time every day, you′ll hear somebody say,
"Hey didja eat yet, naw, didju? You'ant to. Aight."
If you go to the family reunion to meet women...
If you smoked during your wedding...
You might be a redneck.
And last but not least
If you see a sign that says say no to crack,
And it reminds you to pull your jeans up...
You might be a redneck.
In Jeff Foxworthy's song "You Might Be A Redneck If...", the lyrics reveal various humorous indicators of what may classify someone as a redneck. The lyrics highlight the stereotypes associated with this culture, such as being excessively comfortable with being on television or being able to perfectly describe the sound of a tornado. Additionally, the lyrics poke fun at those who have a lack of sophistication and education, such as walking your child to school because you are in the same grade or using made-up words like "you'ant to" and "aight". Some of the other hilarious indicators of being a redneck include cutting your grass to find a car, being too drunk to fish, financing a tattoo, making change in the offering plate, and going to a family reunion to meet women. These lyrics highlight the often peculiar and quirky everyday experiences of a culture that is often misunderstood.

I created a parody inspired by this. It is called you might be a social justice Warrior if....
You protest outside of a gym because you think it shames fat people
Your parents are embarrassed to be seen in public with you
The only exercise you get is screaming at the top of your lungs
You spend more money on hair dye than you do on food
Babies shake their heads when you throw Tantrums
