Bipolar and Proud is a 2004 release by country music satirist Cledus T. Judd, distributed through Audium/Koch. Originally intended to be named "Cledus Gone Wild," the album's title was changed prior to its launch. It includes Judd's most successful charting track, "I Love NASCAR," which peaked at number 48 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

David Jefferies from Allmusic awarded the album three and a half stars, highlighting the majority of songs as comedic, while offering criticism specifically for "____ Is Funny."

The enhanced edition of the CD contains the official music video for "I Love NASCAR."
