The definition of 'redneck', at least according to the comedian who invented the 'You Might Be a Redneck' joke, is "a glorious lack of sophistication".  In other words, something you'd expect a very low-class American to do.

To get a sense of the sort of one-liner that belongs here, go browse this website for about ten minutes, then come up with something that would accurately describe that sort of person.

That's ok. I didn't sense everything in that.

So: if you think that Michael Jackson did the moonwalk actually on the moon, then you are a redneck.

Still not there.   :)   It's not as simple as it seems. 

This involves what would be for you a foreign cultural phenomenon.   I don't recall ever seeing a French redneck, so it's quite understandable that you have no basis for comparison.   

For instance...

You might be a redneck if your truck costs more than your house.

This is a reference to the (quite common) sight of a very expensive truck sitting outside a run-down mobile home, which is stereotypical of a redneck.

Let's all take a deep breath.
Wise words.

Texas is South America shouldn't be there, if I understand you right.

How "Texas in South America" and "MJ on the moon" are that different?
