Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week

Honey Boo Boo Style: The Ultimate Redneck Wedding

Nothing says “trashy redneck” like the TV show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. With a cast of characters like Mama June, Sugar Bear, Pumpkin, Chicadee and Chubbs—all centered around Honey Boo Boo’s little miss pageant lifestyle—this show is truly cringe-worthy material.

That didn’t stop Mama June, however, from publicizing her latest stunt via People Magazine, a wedding ceremony replete with camo dresses, blaze orange vests for the men and Honey Boo Boo herself in a pink princess getup. If you suddenly feel sick to your stomach, you’re not alone.

Mama June told People she exchanged vows with Honey Boo Boo’s dad, Sugar Bear, though it’s unclear whether it was a vow renewal service or an official wedding. In epic redneck fashion, Mama June also said she met Sugar Bear in an online chat room 9 years ago.

Mama June told People, “We stayed true to our roots and made the focus on the family and my commitment to Sugar Bear.”

Redneck Jackpot: Man Shoots Deer in Walmart Parking Lot

Of all the stereotypes associated with rednecks, Walmart and deer hunting probably top the list. The only thing more redneck would be, well, deer hunting in the Walmart parking lot.

Enter Arcangelo Bianco Jr., of Indiana, Pa., who spotted a 10-point passing through the Walmart parking lot while he was on his way to do some shopping. Thinking quickly, Bianco grabbed a handgun from his truck and chased the buck around the corner of the building, firing multiple rounds at the deer. He pursued the deer across a nearby highway, according to the Indiana Gazette, where he finished it off, loaded it into his truck and took it to a meat packing shop for processing.

Law enforcement officials got involved when concerned shoppers—busy with Thanksgiving shopping—called 911 to report a man running through the Walmart parking lot firing a weapon at a deer.

Unfortunately for Bianco, the whole thing was also recorded on video surveillance cameras posted outside of the building. Bianco faces charges for misdemeanor reckless endangerment and a handful of hunting violations. He stands accused of hunting without a license, but not for hunting out of season—he killed the buck last November during Pennsylvania whitetail season.

“Obviously we can’t have someone running through a Walmart parking lot shooting at a deer,” Jack Lucas, the wildlife officer investigating the case, told the Gazette. “It was the nicest buck I’ve seen in Indiana County in a couple of years.”

Real Men Shoot Skeet Redneck Style…with Tanks

If you thought debonair looking fellows in fine clothes and tuxedos were above turning skeet shooting into the ultimate in redneck tomfoolery, you’d be wrong.

The gents in the video “How Real Men Shoot Skeet” took redneck manliness to a new level with human-sized clay pigeons, a tank and a good dose of manly exultation when the earth shakes and the clays shatter. Listen—if you can’t strap on a helmet and leave a few craters in the landscape while knocking down your targets, you’re missing out.

Farmer Style: The Redneck Rap Parody of Gangnam Style

Taking a Weird Al-like spin on the recent Korean hit by Psy, “Gangnam Style,” a few Kansas farm boys filmed “Farmer Style,” a rap-umentary of life on the American plains.

That’s enough to make you famous in Kansas, where the Peterson brothers call home. Greg, Nathan and Kendal first got their start with “I’m Farming and I Grow It,” a parody of LMFAO’s “I’m Sexy and I Know It” released earlier this year. Their first YouTube hit garnered nearly 8 million views, while Farmer Style—now in its second week—is already at 7.7 million views.

Students at Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan., the two older Peterson brothers were recently honored at a K-State halftime show for their agricultural rap video. They apparently made the film over Thanksgiving break and released it shortly afterward.

“The last one we didn’t know it was going to go so big,” Nathan told KSN News. “[The halftime show] was a lot of fun, we’ve always been big K-State fans.”

With dancing farmhands and hay a-flyin’, “Farmer Style” is the ultimate redneck moment of the week.

Redneck Pig Calling Contest At the State Fair

There are times in the life of a redneck when you just can’t find the right way to tap into your inner competitor and at the same time utterly make a fool of yourself. So it would seem some people pour all their creative resources into doing just that, which brings us to our redneck moment of the week—pig calling at the state fair.

While the rest of the culture has things like American Idol and The Voice to showcase it’s talents (or to win a prized place in reject infamy), here in the redneck sphere we prefer things a little less, shall we say, tame. Carrie Underwood move over, Miss Piggy has the stage.

Swan Dive at the Redneck Olympics

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: Aug. 5

Who are you kidding? You aren’t in nearly as good of shape as some of them Olympic athletes you see on TV. Why, most of us probably find it enough of a chore to walk from the couch to the ole’ tube whenever we lose the remote. But boy, we can really put on some kinda show when we want, especially when there’s a swimming hole involved — which in most cases is an umbrella term meaning any body of water, big or small.

So when we see that big ole’ mud puddle, it’s just second nature to strip down to our britches, grab our favorite girl and take a running dive in. Afterward, we’ll be honored with the gold medal while the radio in some feller’s truck plays “Dixie.”

Just Livin’ the Dream — Redneck Style

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: July 16

Now we rednecks are a proud breed with simple tastes. We like our beer cold, chicken wings hot and our women even hotter. But now and then we like to live it up and feel like one of them Hollywood types with their fancy cars, designer clothes and indoor plumbing. After all, ain’t that the American dream?

Well, this fella right here is livin’ that dream. We’ve had our fair share of R&R, but to soak it up in a hot tub, firing off a few rounds while sippin’ on a cold one? Now THAT is the height of luxury.

The Redneck Machine Gun Lawn Mower

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: July 2

A few of the fellas over at our sister magazine, Guns & Ammo, recently took a trip to Morristown, Minn., for the largest zombie shoot in the country, Outbreak Omega 5, hosted by DPMS Panther Arms. Killing zombies is certainly a different kind of hunting, and the participants up there had a heck of a time tac-ing out in the most creative ways we’ve seen.

But imagine their surprise when this beaut rolled up. This machine gun lawn mower, fitted with a couple ammo boxes and a Louisville Slugger, is a zombie-killing machine, and perfect for mowing down a few brain-munchers (get it?).

Redneck Amusement Park Ride Will Save a Few Bucks

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: June 18

A trip to the amusement park can really be a pain in the you-know-what. Oh sure, the rides are fine and dandy, assuming you haven’t already filled up on hot dogs and draft beer at the concession stand, but between the long lines and reee-diculous prices, most of us would rather spend our time at home — and if you have the right equipment, you’ll find you can have just as much fun without your kids bothering you all day and night.

So fire up the excavator and tell the kids to hold on tight. When we’re done here, son, we’ll strap you into a tractor wheel and send you down the hill. You won’t have this much fun at Disneyworld, I’ll tell ya that.

 

Awesome Redneck Video: Sh*t Redneck Guys Say

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: June 11

Comedian and celebrated redneck expert Jeff Foxworthy has a bit in his routine where he lists off a list of words and phrases often used by rednecks; words like, “wigeon: ‘I got Budweiser and Coors. Wigeon you want?’” A classic bit, sure, but there are plenty of other mannerisms that can only be expressed visually. Based on the popular YouTube videos titled “Sh*t [insert group] Say/Don’t Say,” a group of guys came up with the long-awaited “Sh*t Redneck Guys Say,” and boy I tell you what, it’s funnier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.

Redneck AR Chambered in .223, 6-D Nails

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: May 14

Whether or not you’re for hunters using ARs in the field, no one can pass on the chance to shoot at good-looking semi-auto when the opportunity arrives — if you have time, that is. These days, we’re just so bogged down with chores around the house that it’s hard to get out and do some shooting. Well, if you pick up the assault (nail) rifle found by the folks over at There, I Fixed It, you can knock out home improvement and get a little target practice in the process.

Epic Redneck Car Wash the Ride of a Lifetime

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: April 2, 2012

Let’s be honest: We all love working on our trucks as much as the next guy, but what with having to break a $10 bill for quarters just to clean off your pickup, going to the car wash is a pain in the blessed assessment. You could also try washing it yourself, but who wants to spend all that money on buckets, soap, shammies and rags?

Well, if you’ve got a good sized waterin’ hole nearby, just Bo Duke that puppy into the pond and be done with it. Insurance premiums may skyrocket, sure, but that’s a small price to pay to knock out your chores like a real redneck stuntman.

8 Worst Hollywood Hunting Stereotypes

With the much-awaited opening of The Hunger Games in theaters, a movie in which the main character is a teenaged girl who hunts with a bow to provide for her family and ultimately to save her life, debate has raged on the blogosphere over whether the movie glorifies hunting or reflects the overall brutality of the futuristic society it portrays. In the movie, as it does in the book, hunting is portrayed as an admirable skill that promotes self-reliance, courage and respect for life — attributes many of today’s hunters will readily recognize in their own sporting lives. In fact, Katniss, the main character, exhibits more compassion and a reluctance to kill her fellow human than the city-dwelling Capitol residents who watch the games for fun.

The Hunger Games has garnered some positive press, particularly for women hunters, but may remain an oddity in that respect coming from Hollywood, for there remains abundant examples of movies and television programs that exhibit everything from total ignorance about hunting to a pointed effort to ridicule the tradition as being participated in by brutish louts bent on the destruction of every living thing in the forest. Here are some of the worst offenders.

Machine Gun Granny Will Shoot You in the ‘Toodles’

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: March 12, 2012

We love our grannies for all the love and cookies they give us, and we especially love when our grannies get a little snippy. Granny loves her family, but boy howdy, does she hate those morons who try quickdraw her for her change purse. Granny doesn’t mess around, you know, and when she pulls that MP40 out of her bag, you better head for the hills, son — and you better cover your toodles on the way there.

We know this is an old video, but we just couldn’t help but share a classic.

Squirrel Launcher is the Ultimate Redneck Rodent Removal

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: March 5, 2012

Imagine for a second you’re a squirrel. There you are, running around with a bunch of nuts in your mouth, when you wander onto someone’s porch. Next thing you know, you’re flying majestically across the backyard! You’re not sure how it happened, but luckily, some good ole’ boys inside got the whole thing on video.

You’re never going to live this one down, Mr. Squirrel; better just scamper back to your tree, crack open a PBR and get ready for a long, cold winter.

Ah, the winnebago. Perfect for when you want to hit the road, but still don’t want to leave the home.

The good folks over at There I Fixed It were quick to point out the message on the back — looks like no one’s safe from a down economy.

Redneck Waterslide Fail

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: Jan. 9, 2012

These days, it’s pretty expensive to drive up to one of them fancy-schmancy waterparks with their huge slides and equally huge pee-to-water ratio. Why fork over all that cash when you can have just as much fun in your own backyard?

Well, if that’s the route you’re willing to take, just do at least one smart thing: were wear a helmet.

Rollers are just so expensive. Natural Ice is just so cheap. Makes perfect sense to us. We bet she even had half of a 30-pack left to guzzle down before the wedding. She will be the most beautiful bride ever, her cousin is one lucky man.

13 Hunting Slang Terms You Should Stop Using

Since first appearing in 1893 as a derogatory term to describe less educated, rural, lower-class Southern whites, the word “redneck” continues to serve as a slanderous putdown by some, and worn as a badge of country pride and honor by others. From Jeff Foxworthy’s famed “You might be a redneck” lines to Charlie Daniels singing about the world needing “a few more rednecks,” the prideful declaration that one is a redneck has expanded far beyond the South to describe folks of rural nature and proclivities across all of America.

But still, whether you consider yourself a redneck, hillbilly, good ole’ boy, country girl or whatnot, there remains a number of terms used — particularly in conjunction with hunting or while in camp — that, well, probably quite simply just should not be. But then, who better than the hunters of America to make that decision? Here then are 13 hunting slang terms that we think are best left at the gate to the trailer park when you head for the woods.

Benny Smalls: Redneck Stuntman Extraordinare

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: Nov. 7, 2011

“Wild Child” Benny Smalls ain’t scared of nothin’. That includes heights, fire, sharp objects, falling concrete, concussions, lots of blood and short-term memory loss.

Still, something leads us to believe he didn’t really think this one through.

Redneck Moment of the Week: Oct. 31, 2011

Talk about your motor homes.

OK, it’s not as big and fancy as some of those behemoth RVs, but you can be sure that when this baby hits 30 mph, you’re gonna see some serious horsepower. WARNING: Brakes not included.

Redneck Breaks Bike Fall with Face

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: Oct. 24, 2011

We couldn’t figure out what was more painful: kissing the concrete or the humiliation of letting every internet basement dweller in on how you nearly ripped your ear off. Let the empty bottles nearby serve as a stark reminder that moonshine is not a performance enhancing drug.

That jump may look easy at first, but Matt Hoffman you ain’t. This is redneck gold for sure.

Screamin’ Beaver Tube Slide – Sounds Legit

Awesome Redneck Moment of the Week: Oct. 17, 2011

We won’t say the Screamin’ Beaver Tube Slide isn’t a good time; for all we know, folks have as much fun as the cracked-out beaver on this billboard.

We just wish they would have come up with a better name, now that our Google searches have raised a few eyebrows in the IT department. This little Montana gem certainly deserves a redneck tip o’ the cap.
