Hee Haw
Barnyard comedy sound
Hee Haw is the braying sound a donkey makes—a loud, two-part vocalization.
The phrase also names a long-running American country music and comedy television show (1969–1997) known for its cornpone humor, overalls, and haystack sets: My grandparents never missed an episode of Hee Haw.
