** The "Hambone Brothers" sketches, with Jimmie Riddle "eefing" (an Appalachian musical form similar to beatboxing, but a hundred years older) and Jackie Phelps "hamboning" (another Appalachian musical form consisting of rhythmically slapping one's thigh) was just so weird that it would often get a double-take from Roy Clark.

'''''Hee Haw''''' was an American television variety show featuring country music and humor with fictional rural Kornfield Kounty as a backdrop. It aired on Creator/{{CBS}} from 1969 to 1971 before a 20-year run in local UsefulNotes/{{syndication}}. The show was inspired by ''Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn'', the major difference being that ''Hee Haw'' was far less topical, and was centered on rural culture and CountryMusic. Initially co-hosted by musicians Music/BuckOwens and Roy Clark, the show was equally well known for its voluptuous, scantily clad women in stereotypical farmer's daughter outfits, male stars Jim and Jon Hager, and its cornpone humor.

----
!!This show presents examples of:
* [[AGoodNameForARockBand A Good Name For A Country Band ]]: BR-549
* AnnoyingLaugh: Don Harron's "Charlie Farquharson" character had one that was somewhere between a [[RevengeOfTheNerds nerd laugh]] and a donkey's bray.
* TheBarber: Archie's Barber Shop.
* BigBeautifulWoman: Lulu Roman, who was a former go-go dancer but had a thyroid condition.
* {{Blooper}}: Flubs and goof-ups were often [[ThrowItIn left in]], as they were often funnier than the jokes.
* BlowingARaspberry: At the end of "Where O Where Are You Tonight?"
* BrainlessBeauty: Many, though some were a lot smarter than they seemed. Others, played this trope straight, though.
* Advertising/BurmaShave: An occasional gag presented a Burma-Shave-style rhyme/joke, one line at a time on a series of signs filmed by a camera moving slowly past them.
* TheCameo: Often, [[http://video.yahoo.com/watch/1106574/4046570 especially in the "Where, Oh Where are You Tonight?" sketches]] (the cameo star would often have their back turned to the camera until the chorus [[TheReveal reveal]]).
* CatchPhrase: Several.
** Sa-LUTE!
** '''Owens:''' "I'm a-Pickin'...!" \\
'''Clark:''' "...And I'm a-Grinnin'!"
** '''Minnie Pearl:''' HOWWWWWW-DEEEEEEE![[note]]This was actually her personal catchphrase. She had been using it in her act long before she appeared in the show.[[/note]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Several, as much of the humor was based on this. Most notably, Junior Samples.
* CluckingFunny:
** Often, if someone would tell an especially lame joke, someone else on the cast (or offstage) would hit them with a rubber chicken.
** There was also a regular animated segment, with a chicken mistaking anything and everything for an egg. The chicken would sit on items, such as a ringside bell, a man's bald head, a billiard ball, a football, a golf ball, and even a bomb, with various disastrous results.
* ComicBookAdaptation
* [[FrontierDoctor Country Doctor]]: Archie Campbell played one.
* CountryMusic: The show was built around it and would usually have popular country music guest stars.
* DeepSouth: Kornfield Kounty is located somewhere here.
* DespairSpeech: The song "Doom, Despair and Agony On Me" is a parody of this trope.
* TheDitz: Junior Samples was this in spades.
* DoubleTake: Often.
** The "Hambone Brothers" sketches, with Jimmie Riddle "eefing" (an Appalachian musical form similar to beatboxing, but a hundred years older) and Jackie Phelps "hamboning" (another Appalachian musical form consisting of rhythmically slapping one's thigh) was just so weird that it would often get a double-take from Roy Clark.
* DrowningMySorrows: As hinted by the moonshine jugs in the "Doom, Despair and Agony On Me" sketches.
* EccentricTownsfolk aplenty.
* FadeToBlack: In a silly, corn-filled comedy program whose commercial bumpers were almost always the hapless hen and other barnyard animals parading and doing silly things, the "fade-to-black" segments – where the audience did not applaud, laugh or otherwise react – were very noticeable. The Hee Haw Gospel Quartet segments -- one of the few serious musical segments, featuring (most commonly) Buck Owens, Roy Clark, Grandpa Jones and Kenny Price, or perhaps a guest singing a gospel song –- was the most common by far, but there were several times through the years that the cast paid tribute to a recently passed cast member; those included David "Stringbean" Akeman, the banjo player; and Junior Samples, the simple-minded comedian. The most poignant and emotional by far was the show's tribute to ElvisPresley (in early 1978), when Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, gave a short tribute to his late son and his impact on country music, and how much he was a devoted fan of ''Hee Haw''; several of the cast members were crying on camera during the tribute as a light piano tune played, before the segment faded to a commercial.
* FarmersDaughter: Most every girl on the show, especially the [[MsFanservice Hee Haw Honeys]].
* GoodNewsBadNews: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP2h1gJcsHU This]] famous Archie Campbell sketch.
* GoodOlBoy: Most every guy on the show.
* GossipyHens: The Gossip Girls sketches. (Not to be confused with [[GossipGirl the soap opera]].)
* GreasySpoon: Lulu's Truck Stop.
* HelloNurse: Nurse Goodbody.
* HeroicDog: Beauregard the Wonder Dog (earlier, Kingfish the Wonder Dog). Four dogs actually played the dog during the show's run (usually seen in the Moonshiners sketches). Played with in that the bloodhound did nothing but sleep.
* HonestJohnsDealership: Junior Samples' used car lot, "Samples Sales".
* IconicOutfit: Minnie Pearl's NiceHat.
* LaughTrack
* LazyBum: One frequent segment called The Moonshiners, where a couple of the cast would lazily tell a joke while dozing on the floor near a bunch of moonshine jugs and [[OldDog Beauregard the]] Wonder Dog (Kingfish the Wonder Dog in earlier shows), with scantily dressed girls in the background.
* [[RidiculouslyLongPhoneNumber Ridiculously Short Phone Number]]: [[FiveFiveFive BR-549]]
* LongRunner
* {{Schoolmarm}}: Minnie Pearl often played one.
* SdrawkcabName: Archie Campbell's retelling of Cinderella ("[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJv_YXIXBsE&feature=related Rindercella]]") and the Three Little Pigs ("[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0Os2IGDXM8&feature=related Pee Little Thrigs]]"). (Actually more like [[{{Spoonerism}} spoonerisms]], but "telling it backwards" was the joke.)
* SexySecretary: Miss Honeydew.
* ShopKeeper: Gordie's General Store.
* ShoutOut: A cast member would salute an American small town and give its population, followed by the entire cast popping up from a cornfield and yelling "Sa-loote!!!!" Early on, this was met with canned laughter, but this soon changed to applause (in a nod that small-town America was being honored, rather than this be a joke).
** Occasionally, if that week's guest was from a larger city, s/he'd salute it.
* SimpleCountryLawyer: Justus O'Peace; "Cletus Biggs of Biggs, Shy & Stir — Kornfield Kounty's most honorable law firm — where our motto is, 'When in doubt, sue!'"
* SigningOffCatchPhrase: "So long everybody! We'll see you next week on... 'Hee Haw'!"
* SouthernBelle: Colonel Daddy's daughter.
