Oftentimes, a picture of a redneck could be mistaken for a still from some obscure grindhouse horror movie, but, as you’re about to find out, a real-life redneck is far scarier than anything to come out of the mind of Stephen Chiodo or Alfred Hitchcock. The customs and traditions of rednecks differ wildly to those of the common American and give rise to behavior that is absolutely unacceptable outside of a trailer park. While undoubtedly the perfect subjects for satire, these people can also be pretty terrifying. The vast majority of those who relate to Whitney’s work are themselves beer-swilling, gun-toting, flannel-wearing sons of the soil. Despite being a work of fiction, Larry the Cable Guy is a remarkably accurate depiction of the common redneck. He is a character created by comedian Daniel Whitney, a native of Pawnee City in the state of Nebraska. “Get ‘er done,” says Larry the Cable Guy as he drinks a beer, turns on NASCAR and scratches his rear end.
