I’m smarter than a 4th grader…
I think…
I hate that guy.
Whether you like him or not, Jeff Foxworthy is a very intelligent man. Rednecks by definition aren’t stupid, just different.
He’s intelligent? He hides it well.
Just sayin.
Yea, he’s an Electrical Engineer, and much smarter than you will ever be.
But what about a redneck 5th grader…?
Only way that’s possible is if you’re 19 and in the 6th grade already.

Fifth graders now have subjects that didn’t even exist when I was in fifth grade.
nevermind the man worked at IBM, and not as a janitor, before he made it big on the comedy circuit.
I guess 99% of the people who have ever been on that show are rednecks, then.
That’s what an interview staff is for. They LOOK for people that would have a hard time keeping up with a 5th grader. Keeps things from being too predictable, and makes the kids look good.
What about the rocket scientist?
Not only that, if they put up smart person after smart person, there would be some unhappy people on the network parting with their money.
Most gameshows want the wildest, craziest people who act like they are on speed or some other crazy stuff, that way the person is not thinking calm, and being able to run the gameshow for all it is worth.
Actually, the network people wouldnt have have too worry too much, because the way the show works is you progressively earn more money each question, so it comes to the point where you say to yourself “Am I smarter than a fifth grader? Yes, because 5th grader would actually try and answer that stupid question, but I am going to take this pot of free money and run!’
Well, I do not watch that game show much, so I would not really know, but most other gameshows past and present, from Press Your Luck to The Price is Right to Family Feud, and everything inbetween, they do not want someone on there that will be level headed. A show like Jeopardy might be different in which it prides itself on bringing out smart contestants, and some shows, if that is how Are You Smarter than a 5th grader is ran, might not need the wild and crazy contestants with the way rules are set up.
You have a point, particularly with game shows like the Price is Right and Family Feud, or Wheel of Fortune – where you see some really stoopid examples of humanity – part of the entertainment value is the contestants
– shows like Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader are more psychological in that they play off the psychology of greed/fear
I haven’t actually watched the game much, but it is fun to see people’s confidence just wilt the more money they receive and a neat example of how fear can cloud your judgment
I recall Ken Jennings was on 5th grader…
why do we even have to see how the game went? that guy is so stupid. he does not know how to be a fifth grader.
No, hey, really – how does this guy qualify as a celeb? You ever seen the show? Sorry, not even almost-ran.
No, but I don’t even live in North America and have still heard of Jeff and his “you just might be a redneck if…” meme.
how can a grown man/woman not know the square root for 49 lol.
If your not smarter than a 5th grader, you can still run for presidency, and be qualified as avarage american^^
…and you won’t be able to spell “average”, either.
Or know the contraction for “you are.”
Or know to capitalize “American”.
HELPFUL ADVICE
Not everyone was blessed with middle class parents who could pay for a college degree.
When my driveway was blocked by fallen trees after a storm, my ‘redneck’ neighbors showed up with their redneck pickup trucks and redneck chainsaws to help clear a path.
Further helpful advice – “Redneck” is more a state of mind than a socio-economic or lifestyle thing, which is what Jeff’s “you just might be a redneck if…” meme is all about.
I rather like this one…clever combination of the only two things Jeff Foxworthy is famous for.
Is it just me, or does it look like he’s holding a tomato?
That or a red apple.
A REALLY red apple. Like, plastic-looking red.
Probably because it is plastic. They aren’t that uncommon.
Wouldn’t it be:
“You might be a redneck if…you’re not smarter than a fifth grader.”
red, white blue necks, we’re all americans!
