It's a loving, but mildly derogatory term that means country bumpkin or goofy cowboy.
For instance in America, most "rednecks" live in the bayous of Lousiana or in the hill countries of the south.
They generally don't wear shoes, are good natured, fun-loving people of lower educational status. The generalizations are that they have few teeth, bare feet, marry first cousins at 16 years old, are interested in potty humor, and are lacking a sense of ordinary propriety. It is an affectionate term... everyone loves a redneck.
An example of a redneck family: A wedding in military camoflauge with a tractor pulling the wood cart the bride arrives in. The bridesmaids wear ripped mini jean skirts and military boots. The men wear full camo and carry hunting rifles. The cake is held up by a tower of empty beer cans. The bride wears combat boots and carries a plastic bouquet. The food that is served is joked about causing a ruckus wedding night: i.e. pork baked beans.
But in the case of this thread, the references are only to a comic series of descriptives created by comedian Jeff Foxworthy.
