Today, after recently complaining that the reality show "The Great Norway Adventure" portrays us as a country of nationalistic rednecks, I saw my drunk dad chasing my uncle on a tractor while bellowing the national anthem at the top of his lungs. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my uncle drove to my house in his tractor, beer in one hand, and a radio strapped to the dash blasting country music at unimaginable volume. Neither of us live on a farm. Half the neighborhood stood angrily glaring at us until we went inside. FML
Today, I realized my family is the textbook definition of redneck after listening to my grandpa threaten to smash with an excavator the trailer that my uncle lives in behind our house if he didn't return the set of tires he had stolen and pawned from my grandpa's garage. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. FML
Today, I had to go to a big dinner with my insane relatives. Highlights of conversation included my sister telling us about the "country of Iowa", my dad accusing me of faking my chronic fatigue syndrome, and my grandpa claiming that Nelson Mandela is the Antichrist. FML
Today, I came home to see my dad sitting in his car. I thought it'd be fun to sneak up on him. He was filming himself on his phone, ranting about "fighting like hell" and "a storm coming." He had his baseball cap on backwards, probably because the front had the name of our town in Wales on it. FML
Today, a drunk man started yelling at the lamppost outside my house, demanding to be let inside, all while my neighbors watched. That man is my dad. FML
Today, my alcoholic dad finally came to see to my last dance recital after years of never showing up to watch me. He got kicked out of the audience for snoring too loud. I could hear him from the stage. FML
Today, my drunk dad started yelling at my dog for not having a job. FML
Today, I found out my dad thinks he's famous because he's been on 'Cops', twice. FML
Today, I realized that what I thought for years was my country's National Anthem, is actually the theme song of a TV show. FML

It's okay, OP. Your country's redneck TV shows will always be overshadowed by Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty.

Did he also drive to your house in a tractor with a radio strapped to the dash and a beer in his hand?
tinyrosie 21
He had an overdose on the go-go juice.

You don't know that.

The beer could've been in the duct tape cup holder.

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY? Seriously, after that song, Norway catapulted to the forefront of modern culture.

Rednecks are hell of a fun!!! If you want to enjoy your life you might as well spend a day in south!! It would be your best experience ever.
JACKxRAWR 22
Sounds like fun to me!

How can they be redneck, Norway has a fantastic literacy rate and better test scores than America by far
RedPillSucks 31
Rednecks can be smart
efettes 19
Yea, they know their beer better than anybody ;)

58- Then why do they always go for the cheap shit?

Rednecks dont have to be thick. ever seen Duck Dynesty. self proffessed rednecks but are smarter than a lot of people on reality shows. hell they are smarter than a lot of people i know in real life.

Smart Rednecks are the pillar of all our societies. Drunk Rednecks need to be kept away from heavy machinery.

Ash and bobby from supernatural were pretty ******* smart. Smart rednecks make for amazing characters. Just throwing that out there.

49- I'm a redneck, but I take AP and gifted classes, and I'm number 30 in my class of 560.
ottokat 15
totally agree, 87. would you consider Jo and Ellen to be rednecks?
Nilla_Please 12
I'm sorry but just because the US has rednecks, does that mean our big cities are not literate or smart? Norway has incredible parts but like all countries there are the rural areas... Don't say dumb comments that don't achieve anything but show you don't think them through...
Corrupt_waffles 13
102: Not particularly. Just bad ass ladies with guns. I adore Jo and I'm not usually a fan of female characters.
ottokat 15
I didn't like Jo - no idea why. Loved Ellen and that physcic!

Shows so bad that some people pass out watching them. Don't worry OP, your country certainly isn't the one with the redneck problem.

Canada is one of the most redneck countries for sure lol
eddeeezzyy 19
I can believe 26 on this one. I mean...look at Trevor from GTA V
rememberkids 14
Trevor probably came from Alberta if you want specifics.

I can watch Duck Dynasty. It's not nearly as bad as Honey boo boo, which I only heard about no first hand experience. Shows like Jersey Shore and the Real World are the ******* worst in my opinion. Bunch of self entitled fuckheads getting drunk and acting like loons. At least Duck Dynasty isn't covering spray tanned alcoholics breeding like a bunch of ******* rats. Though, I live in the country and all the shit they do on Duck Dynasty looks pretty damn fun to me.
logan_nagol 2
As a Canadian. I must disagree and apologize for making you think that.
monnanon 13
i love duck dynasty.

The Statue of Liberty's draft text said "Bring us your rednecks...." It was changed so we wouldn't catch on.

I don't know, that sounds like a great time.

I can't even begin to say how awesome that sounds. If I were you, I would be laughing my butt off taking pictures. There are some things that family can do with each other that you can't find anywhere else. Be proud to be a Norwegian!!! Totally not an FML. It's too great, and funny.

That's awesome
