Country Fried Home Videos is a television program that is aired on CMT. It is hosted by Bill Engvall, an American stand-up comic.
The show consists of home videos that people have sent in of things that are humorous and/or amazing with narration by the show's host Bill Engvall, and the winner, chosen by Bill, wins the "Here's Your Sign" award (taken from Bill's trademark "Here's Your Sign" standup comedy routine), as well as one thousand dollars. Bill hosts the show from a diner. The show often features a sound effect of a gun cocking before a video begins and always starts with a disclaimer stating that video submissions depicting intentionally dangerous and/or illegal content will be rejected, and ends with Bill asking a waitress, "Waitress's name Check, please." The overall theme of the show is similar to America's Funniest Home Videos.
Along with the regular assortment of videos, the show also includes recurring segments. These have included the following.
The most frequently-seen segment, called "The World's Strongest Redneck", appears in almost every episode. In the segment, The World's Strongest Redneck, Steve McGranahan, does something that takes a lot of strength to do, such as pulling a chain with a car attached to it with his teeth, bending metal objects with his bare hands, ripping a deck of cards in half with duct tape on them, or playing tee-ball with a sledgehammer and bowling ball.
Another segment, one that is not shown as often as "The World's Strongest Redneck", is called "The Great Handini". In this segment, a person named Maher Haddad makes noises with his body parts, such as using his hands to perform "Yankee Doodle", "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
