I'll admit I've never been a huge Foxworthy fan, but he has his moments. And there are some mildly humorous parts in this 60 minute routine. But the majority of it is tired and demeaning "my wife" and "my mother" jokes that had me yawning through most of the show. Dude, it's just not funny to listen to 20 minutes of how your wife packs a suitcase. And cracking jokes about not knowing who the father of your daughter's child is... just not funny.
There wasn't much of anything brilliant or hilarious in this. Not one belly laugh, or even more than a chuckle. A lot of this show is a bit off-color (no, it's not "good, clean comedy" when he's talking about the size of his junk).
I did somewhat enjoy the end when he's talking about his unexpected evening in the hotel. Other than that, there's not a joke or routine in the rest of the show that was memorable. I noticed he no longer finishes on the "You just might be a redneck" routines, and that's fine I guess. But maybe he needs to think up something new and original, because wife / mother / mother in law / daughter jokes just don't cut it any more.

Plot summary
In his first solo stand-up special in 24 years, Jeff Foxworthy is remembering the good old days. Before cell phones diagnosed our illnesses, were used as cameras, kept us informed 24 hours a day, and before we had to have different passwords for everything. Jeff discusses parenting (your children and your parents),texting, the joy of getting a butt dial, conversations with his wife and recalls a much simpler time (or was it?).

Not his best material
Irrelevant:
Has-been comedian tries to remain relevant while rousing political turmoil of right-wing conspiracy theories. Jeff Foxworthy was barely funny at the peak of his career. Now, watching he is a sad, pathetic shadow of his former self.
His one-hit-wonder of a joke should be left in the past along with this simple minded fool who has often been outsmarted by 5th graders.
Perhaps those of a certain age may appreciate this more
I'm almost 70 and have been listening to Jeff since he broke into the public scene. A lot of his current jokes are about his life experiences, being older etc. Perhaps that is why I appreciate his material and my wife and I laughed out loud many times. I don't think a much younger audience would relate. But if you think as I do, don't miss this. It is his best material in many years.
