warehouse so he could test out the duck calls. He even brought a kennel of ducks and released it in his pond to test it out. This is entertaining because it is something people do not normally do and the fact that he was doing that to get out of doing work makes it funny. People are also attracted to the life of this family because it is different culture from their own. Most people do not have lives similar to the Robertson so being able to see how they function and live their lives is very appealing. The show also emphasizes the theme of family and that sometimes having a big family can be dramatic, but in the end nothing is better than being with you family. The show Duck Dynasty presents the life of the Robertson family. They represent a “redneck” southern family from Louisiana. Even though the family can have its up in downs they always unite together at the end of the episode.

individuals avoid questions that may reveal weaknesses in their knowledge of social status norms. The emergence of technology, along with an increase in the need to voice one’s own opinion and the introduction of social communities, has helped to ease this tension, if only through one-way conversations. The example of the “Redneck Neighbor”, and simultaneously the obsessive author, is one that helps to offer insight into the subtleties of social class that make it so difficult to define.…

Many people have heard the terms “Hillbilly” and “Redneck” and had laughed at jokes and stories about them or have just thought the jokes were just mean and not funny at all. The problem with any jokes about a group of people is that they are stereotyping that group without knowing what that group of people really is. Many stereotypes are made to put a whole group of people down by overgeneralize each person in that group. The stereotype of the ‘Hillbilly” and “Redneck” are referring to the…

When people hear the word redneck, what do they think of? Most would say people who drive pickup trucks, love barbeque, and enjoy the taste of cheap beer. The classic redneck prefers the mullet hair style and generally wears an old, dirty t-shirt, mud drenched pants, and a trucker hat. His truck, which is often more expensive than his trailer house, is old, beat up, lifted several inches high and has a gun rack visible in the rear window. That is just one of the many stereotypes that are…

The sound of an 808 beat courses through the speakers as a fiddle can be heard strumming along with an acoustic guitar while the bass lays down a tempo. As the instrumental goes on a heavily accented voice rings on top of the song in a syncopated fashion. I immediately recognize it to be Keep it Redneck by The Lacs. This genre of music is not typically played on the radio but it contains a huge base of underground fans. It combined two genres creating a hybrid of music most would assume never to…

Sometimes a dumb movie is what you need. Bubba The Redneck Werewolf is a dumb movie. If you just read that, you'd say this guy must think this movie really sucks! You'd be wrong friend. I ate this movie up like a fat kid visiting a Golden Corral for the first time. Bubba is simple hillbilly loser who gets pushed around at his job, his local watering hole, and most importantly the girl (Bobbie Jo) of his dreams. By chance, Satan, whom is mistaken as a lawyer, shows up to comfort Bubba after…

Tommy lee A Hoggreaser. What a name. A name that has character written all over it, just like most people of his type. He knows his way is the best way and there is no one that is about to doubt that, especially to a man who towers over nearly everyone he knows. Tommy is definitely what one would call an intimidating man with his black Duck Dynasty beard and scar right below his right eye. It is obvious Tommy has been in a bar scuffle or two. Most of all, his worn jeans and faded camouflage…

In my high school, students are grouped by appearance or attitude. There are the “emo” kids, hicks, athletes, nerds, and outcasts. The classifications seem fair at first glance. The classifying is done by other students. Seldom do you see the categorized students referring to themselves as a “goth,” or “redneck.” The way someone dresses is the main reason that influences what other people think about them. In high school, the phrase, “Dress to impress” is accurate. Wearing Nike, or Adidas shoes…
