Add VideoYou tube one of the best, if not the best, site for looking up any sort of video. Before reading this post, I never googled "Southern Videos," but as soon as I did, many interesting things popped up. For one, most videos included the word "redneck," and seemed to be located in a very country place. The grass was green, the houses were old, and people were 'round and about, strolling this way and that way. One particular video caught my attention, for it was titled "Funny Redneck Videos." When I clicked to watch it, I was not surprised that it was accompanied by Country music. I was surprised, however, that most of the "funny" things were actually quite silly. For example, one dealt with a truck (oh-so typical of the South), speeding and then flying high up in the air. I personally did not find that very "funny." Then there was one were something exploded and it seemed like fire was floating over a lake... not funny, per se, but perhaps amusing.
It seems like these videos, though trying to portray the South as a "funny" place, are actually ridiculing it and its people.
