hillbilly humor
Rural folk jokes
Comedy rooted in Appalachian and rural Southern American culture, trading on stereotypes of backwoods poverty, isolation, and ignorance.
The humor often features moonshine, feuding families, outhouse jokes, missing teeth, and exaggerated dialects.
It can be affectionate self-deprecation by rural people or condescending mockery by outsiders: The show relied on hillbilly humor—shotgun weddings and hound dogs on the porch.
