People Who Took Being a Redneck A Bit Too Far

Every subculture has its lowlights. The emos, the frat boys, the scene kids, the preps... There's always someone who takes the culture a bit too far. The redneck subculture is probably right up to par with the emo kids in terms of bizarre fashion and hobbies.

Easy DIY Wedding

This isn't redneck as much as trashy, but still. Did they get their outfits from Forever 21 or what?

Appropriately Named

That is, in fact, a redneck wind chime. I wonder if I can grab one of those on Etsy? Eh, it's probably easy enough to DIY.

Gotta Bring the Bow

What's a couple's portrait if you don't bring your intense bow and arrow? She doesn't seem too bothered by it... I'm sure what's what attracted her to him in the first place.   

A Bit Too Much

Someone should have reminded him that tattoos are forever! Whatever tattoo artist okay'd this design should go to jail, honestly. 

Liking Beer Isn't a Personality Trait

We're praying that this is a photo op and not their actual wedding altar... There's nothing romantic about beer! I wonder if they're still together?

Getting The Crew Together

Nothing says family reunion like motorcycles and guns. I think the best part is that the woman in the middle is pointing the barrel of her gun at the little girl. How safe!

Tiny Tractor Vibes

I can't tell if this is a set up or not, but if it is... It's genius. The dad shorts with no-socks and pure whire sneakers. The turtle neck with a vest... Iconic.

This Is Innovation

If it works, then what's the problem? She is the Burger Queen, after all. If you got it, flaunt it.

Can I Suggest One Thing?

Honestly. This would have been pretty cute if he wore cowboy boots, too. Instead, he wore his camo boots that don't compiment her dress at all. Ugh, men. 

Is That... Chainmail?

The mullet? Sure, it's the 80s. The American flag? He's patriotic. The sword? He's an excellent swordsman! The chainmail under his ripped jeans? I don't understand. I can't get it.

He's Got It Covered

Mom won't ever have to worry when Dad has the baby. He's got his gun, and his backup helicopter. Don't worry, they're in Hawaii, too.

This is Very 2005

I've never seen a more matchy-matchy couple. Their outfits must have been cut from the same fabric... I hope they can both look at this prom picture and laugh.

What Frat Is This?

By the looks of the tub, this isn't the first time they lit a fire underneath it. That must be extremely uncomfortable... I'd be surprised if they didn't come out of that fire bath with burns.

There They Are Again!

Okay, I like them. They really know what they're doing and I approve of it. Wheelbarrow me away!

We Are Not Costumes!

Listen, even though I've definitely seen this couple in Walmart, it's not funny to make a costume of them! Rednecks have feelings, too.

Lot's To Unpack Here

This picture wouldn't have been terrible if he had a shirt on. Why did he have to take his shirt off? This one's for the books...

Accentuating The Farmers Tan

Who doesn't love a good farmers tan? This dude is flaunting what he's got, and his girl is proud of it. Who needs a shirt? Not this guy.

Got My Long Gun

Why are there so many photos from the 80s of people with guns? Nowadays, she would not have been let into the photo studio with that thing...

Very Farmers Tan-Heavy Wedding

Obviously, the groom wanted sleeveless outfits to show off his sick tattoo. Well, his groomsmen had to follow suit... Did no one tell him to amp up their tans?

Tricked Out Tractor

That's one way to get the ladies! Most dudes trick out their motorcycles or cars, but this guy too it to the next level. Just try and mess with him on top of that thing.

That Hat

The hat is a bit too small... Same with those glasses. Did he cut those sleeves off himself? Probably.   

The Beloved Family Pet

You don't pick the pet, the pet picks you. This is one of those cases where the cases definitely picks you. 

Grandma Wanted in on the Pics 

She's definitely one of those mothers who could never let her son go after he got married. She went a little... Overboard on this family portrait, though. 

Tough Mudders

Did they... Drive the quad under a mud puddle and get it out again? If so, that's pretty impressive. We approve.  

Family Goals

Matching denim and matching mullets... What's better than that? That kid already knows how cool he is, he doesn't even need to try.

All We Ever Need

This photo must really describe these people in a nutshell. Sunglasses inside, a parrot, and a rifle with a knife at the end? That's everything. Oh, and his velour track jacket. Incredible. 

Found Him On The Way Over

The possum wanted to get in the picture, why wouldn't that be allowed? I think this is a pretty fun lookin' family!

What a Group

The bad tatoos, the t-shirts, the insane pregnancy outfit that she chose... They're all winners in my book! Tje more I look at this, the more I think this is a family... Weird.

The Longer You Look...

This is the most hick thing ever. Little brother in a tree, shirtless dad threatening the boyfriend with a camo shotgun, a camo pro dress, and hunter orange accents... It's perfect.

Our Dates

Honestly, these hens are probably better dates than the boys who ditched them on prom day. Who needs 'em?!

He Looks Happy

This is a low-key redneck photo... Peep the John Deere sticker. At least her dress is cute and he matched the tie perfectly.

Buddies For Life

You grew up in a hick town if these dudes were on their porch all day. They "watched out" for everyone, but usually just hung back with a cigarette in one hand and beer in the other. 

Country Vibes

This is very "classic" redneck, before rednecks got a bad name. The toddlers haircut expliciately states, "I'm from Alabama!" Also, Dad should learn to smile. Even his daughter's are doing a better job than him. 

Fashion Backwards

I understand the appeal of cowboy boots, and I understand the appeal of flip flops. This monster mashup just seems wrong on so many levels... Just pick a shoe!

King of Natty Lite

It's not NASCAR if a guy with a necklace of Natty Lite cans isn't walking up and down the stairs yelling at everyone. 

So Romantic

Thanks to Billy Bob, Mary Sue and Martin were able to get married in front of all of their friends and family in the bed of his truck. What a beautiful wedding. 

How I Wanna Go Out

When you're in charge of the beer and the casket. This dude has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders... He needs to get the body to the funeral home and the brews.

Is This from the Olympics? 

If so, she's definitely on team America. I can imagine she's probably playing a very competitive game of beer pong. 

Merry Christmas

Dear Santa, for Christmas I want a gun for my baby brother. He doesn't have one yet, and our giant machine gun is too big. Thanks!

Dad Needed His Photo Op

The photographer thought that he was all finished... Until Dad pulled him aside and told him about his solo project.

This Is What He's Got to Offer

Is this what Tinder in West Virginia looks like? If so, I'm intrigued. I wonder what the Tinder stories are like over there...

Ready... Hike!

Are they gonna tackle the photographer? What's going on here? Or, maybe they're gonna do a cheerleading pyramid. I hope so!

Hair For Days

The 80s was truly a time for hair. Hopefully, we'll never go back to this place in time. It's just better to keep these hairstyles in the back. 

Who Loves Clowns?

I'll bet these kids developed a fear of clowns after this disaster of a family photo. Why would anyone do this...?

What Is Happening

The joke here was supposed to be the baby with the beer (that's empty, don't worry.) Why in the world is it wearing a duct tape diaper? Am I missing something? Are they?

A Bit Much

Dad's show their love in some weird ways! At least the kids are going along with it... The photographer was probably cringing behind the camera. 

Stereotypes Hurt!

This Texas family have a pretty good sense of humor about their sterotypes! Something tells me that this was Dad's idea...

A Family That Shoots Together, Stays Together

Tag yourself: I'm the grandmom with the pink shotgun. Who says guns can't be cute? Destroy the stereotypes, Grandmom!

America Is Everything To Them

This really wouldn't have been a bad picture except for the fact that it's in black and white, in a random public park, and they both look extremely uncomfortable. Hide this from the president, please.

Why Does He Have To Be Shirtless, Too?

It makes sense for mom to be shirtless... She has her baby bump to show off! But, Dad? Why would he need to be shirtless? I guess he wants to show off those "muscles."

Too Far

This is taking a "joke" too far. They purposefully dressed as rednecks to make this off-taste joke, too. How awkward.

That Ring Gives Him All of His Power

This is the style of a successful man. Giant ring. Pure white turtle neck. Cardigan. Mullet. He knows exactly what he's doing. 

I Will Pay You To Delete This Photo Off the Internet

I don't know how, but I want it done. This photo should never see the ilght of day. What are they even doing? Camping? Why is the girl in a bikini and the woman in a bra? Delete!

Wedding Day Vibes

Everyone wants to kill a turkey on their big day. She's got the camo boots and camo hat along with the wedding dress! Even though the white of the dress kind of defeats the purpose of hunting, but whatever.

Maybe They're Recreating An Old Picture?

There's no shame in this one. It's quite cute and everyone looks happy... It just would have been better if the kids were actually kids and not fully grown adults. 

True Dedication

Sorry, but that logo looks like actual turns. I don't know how else to put it. Everything else is super poorly done, which is a shame. Choices!

Is That How You Want to Be Remembered?

Tattoos are forever... When she's older, she's probably going to blast over it with something horrible like a butterfly. Or, maybe she'll keep the dignity of the tattoo and just get a giant beer can over it. 

He's Always Watching

Why didn't he want to sit with them? There are too many family portraits like this from the 80s... Who did this?

Hangin' With Little Bro

When they said family photos, they meant the whole family. We have the pup and the kitty and the puppet! Now that's what I call family.  

Relatable

Honestly, putting curse words on a kids t-shirt is pretty tacky. Making a shirt about poop is pretty tacky, too. So, by my deductions, the parents are pretty tacky. At least the baby has a sick hat.
