There is nothing as liberating, or terrifying, as a blank page.

This was fresh.

I'll give it that.

Now Git' Er Done!

Or

Am I just saying this, so I could be First in the comments?

You'll never know...:rainbowkiss:

Can't...breathe! Laughing...too...hard!

This was great, hilarious even, but a few of these went a little too far. I’m also surprised you didn’t say this:

Your richest relative buys a new house, and you have to help take the wheels off of it

9765944
Probably

9766006

Your richest relative buys a new house, and you have to help take the wheels off of it

I tried to come up with original reasons. I know that one was specifically said by Jeff Foxworthy.

a few of these went a little too far

I actually had a number that I deleted because I didn't want to go too far.

9765971
That was the goal. Sounds like I hit the mark.

Too far or not far enough?

Lol, the down votes are from Redneck Ponies who've taken offense of this announcement.

9766035
Well, I'd at least like folks who downvote this story to leave a comment why - it's hard to get better at writing without feedback.

I agree with that.

Also phew!

Good thing you signed your comment, I would have never known whom sent this reply. :trollestia:

THEY MUST OF RAN OUTA BEER.........

You take the wheels off the new house so they don't run off with the beer.....

You might be a redneck pony if half your house is built out of singing fish on plaques.

Despite the humor of the downvotes being due to people being offended, I can see a few legitimate reasons. Included among them:
You are asking people to read something that is set up as an oral joke. That means that there is a lack of the comedic timing that goes with it, as well as the emphasis. It takes away a majority of the humor. It is basically a list, with each being a punch line without additional set up or any sort of break. It also becomes a bit redundant, such as with the meth jokes. And honestly, it becomes a bit of a struggle due to it all. Reading through it line after line, with no real investment, it becomes kind of boring to do so.

It's just a list with a background noodle joke about American Southerners except with some things ponified.

This is a very good one-shot.

You think the four basic food groups are beer, tobacco , pizza and nachos.

Don't forget the sweet tea! 99% sweet and 1% tea! Enough to make Pinkie go into shock! :pinkiegasp:

You think it's weird to like ponies.

Yes, because all grown stallions who watch little girl cartoons are "preverts" that should be shot on sight. :trollestia:

Having grown up in the Deep South, I love to see how backwards people think Southerners are. There is always some truth in stereotypes, but most of it is just a gross exaggeration. :ajbemused: In fact, some of the most progressive and open minded people I know are from the Deep South.

This story is a goldmine of ideas! I love it :pinkiecrazy:

You awoke one morning with a hangover and a cutie mark.

You mean Boomstick?

Your life has improved in one of Starlight-created alternate universes.

Holy fuck.

You think the four basic food groups are beer, tobacco , pizza and nachos.

Hol up, ain't ass a major food group?

I actually have one more redneck suggestion.

When you think Elon Musk is a deodorant brand and you somehow own a can.

You use the mirror portal as a dumpster.

You give the Tantabus nightmares.

You think a heating up a can of tomato soup is "fancy cooking."

You tell Rarity that her Grand Galloping Gala dress needs more flannel.

You've ever used the Flame of Friendship for barbequing.

You ask Pinkie Pie for more of those worm-infested muffins.

You think it's a good idea to give Pinkie Pie a can of Redbull.

Maybe I am a redneck pony!

that might be good for "you might be a hood if..."

Signs and SyMpToNs

Git 'er done!!
I wouldn't call this story "brilliant," but it's fun. For those of you who think this is just ponified versions of redneck jokes, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY THE IDEA. For much of my life, to quote one of my favorite redneck jokes, I had my workin TV sittin on top of my non-workin TV, which I kept because it looked cool. True story.

Ya dang kids with yer flat TVs hangin on the wall! Get offa my lawn! :derpytongue2: :ajbemused:


Edit, noticed three weeks later:

You think a heating up a can of tomato soup is "fancy cooking."

That has too many G's. Try: "You think a-heatin up a can of tomater soup is "fancy cookin."
