I’ll admit to coming from Southern country roots. (We are not a family of rednecks, however.) I remember watching a lot of “Hee Haw” when I was younger. Yes, the jokes were corny, and those on the show were aware of that and used that to their advantage. That’s why so many of the jokes were told out in the cornfield. The show also had some great guests on as well.
I could say that I come by my appreciation of such humor honestly. We sometimes call my mom corny; her parents paid the doctor in corn when she was born. My dad’s birth was paid for with a pig, and he could occasionally be a ham.
Enjoy this little clip! It’s okay to laugh, even if you’re not country.
Hahaha! I *loved* HeeHaw growing up. Great memories, thanks for sharing!
