"What do you do when you're not trying to fight Pennsylvania drivers?" "Fight Maryland or New Jersey drivers." As a Delawarean, you have no idea how much I agree with this sentiment.
for the record if you try don't forget that every single human in new jersey including me has a second knife once you get rid of the first one be prepared for the second one to be huge. Also on behalf of new jersey good luck with fighting us.
When I was in college, the state of Delaware was one of the fake sponsor of my over-the-internet radio show. And "Three Counties, Two when the Tide Comes In" Was one of their fake state mottos! OMG This was so funny!
Totally. Love the Apple Scrapple Festival and Grotto's (almost more grease than cheese). Oddly it is really hard to find scrapple now that I moved out of state.
Because of the band Moxie Fruvous, I know that Delaware is the US state with the lowest highest point. That is, the state whose highest point is the lowest of them all.
Well all jokes aside no one knows Delaware exists. People must be so blind they can't see the state on the map. Dela-WHERE doesn't get that much recognition. We're a shitty state so idk why we should get recognition for anything. The state could literally care less about it's residents. I'm a Delaware native/local so I'm allowed to say such things

As a southerner, I have driven through Delaware twice on my way to somewhere else. Both times, I thought I was going to be stuck in a liminal space outside of all existence, eternally fated to water the Not A Highways among the Mid Atlantic Crops. Needless to say, it felt like no one lived there and everyone was trying to leave.
That's because the people who do live here in Delaware are old, retired, and crippled who just stay cooped up inside their houses. So that's probably why it looked so deserted, and all the young people like myself try EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to leave Delaware. There's absolutely NOTHING here for the youth/young adults. Delawareans like to call Delaware "The Black Hole" you really wanna leave, but you just can't; and when you do leave you're just too damn stupid enough to come right back....
As a Delawarean, on the roads it’s either no one lives in DE or everyone lives is DE… gets really annoying, especially during race weekend….. stay far away from Dover then
Scrapple, the food that literally has "scrap" in the name. For those who don't know: After you remove the ham and the loin and the ribs and the belly - all the good parts of the pig - you grind up the rest with spices and make sausage. Take the parts you won't put in the sausage, grind it _really_ fine and make hot dogs. Then the parts you won't even put in hot dogs, mix it with cornmeal, press in into bricks, and vacuum pack it. And now you've got scrapple.
Yes! Welcome to the Table, Delaware! I'll admit that scrapple is food... but only just. IMHO, anyway. Ben getting close to a million subs and the kids in my life would like me to proudly point out that we were here early on. 😀 Thank you for oh, just everything! 💜
I grew up with scrapple, but growing up in Chester County, PA I always thought it was a Lancaster/PA Dutch thing. Until I moved to Dover, DE for a couple of years and discovered the Delaware Amish community. Smaller, but not nearly as touristy. Gotta love Byler's! Oh, and also Hellen's Sausage. But I do have to hang my head in shame that I never got around to going to the Apple Scrapple festival.
I'm from Minnesota and am obsessed with scrapple. I have a lot of family in the Pennsylvania/Maryland/Delaware area, and whenever we visit, we bring home 3 or so meals worth of scrapple back with us.
Confession: I love the Table Song, but I was today years old before I figured out that after the last line ("Let the chaos begin"), it is Florida laughing. Spot on.
Ayyyye #302 gang! I been waiting for us to show up! Impressed you knew about slower lower, andnour general dislike of a other drivers in the tri-state area
I'm from Maryland and even though I love my state, as expressed in your Maryland joins the table episode, I feel very connected with Delaware because I grew up and currently live just five minutes from the slower lower Delaware border and is practically a homestate state for me. I do love me some Grottos and Rofo!!
I’m glad to see such a great representation of DE. I hope my comments helped. I hope to see more of DE when the time comes. It’s always a special treat and we’re mentioned
As a Delawarean, that was 100% accurate. You forgot about separation day where we broke off from PA and it was our vote that gave us independence. Also Florida would like that we have Ft Delaware, a giant fort in the middle of the Delaware river used as a pow camp for confederates and its haunted.
Hilarious!!! One of my family lines came to Delaware in the 1600s. It makes researching family so much easier with only 3 counties... What is sort of funny is one of my distant uncles who was still living there was charged with trading with the British on Chesapeake Bay in 1812...
It has just occurred to me I don't know as much as I thought I did about Delaware. Sigh I thought I was through learning about states in the 80s when I finished school, but, oh Google...
Im from CT and when I worked at a bank and we needed to get the bus documents to open an acct. at least 2/10 registered their bus in Delaware. Might not sound like a lot but we are hundreds of miles away!!!
My friend… I NEED you to do a “Weird Laws” episode on Montana. If only for the final joke being; “it says here that a man and a woman can’t have s*x unless it’s in missionary position?” “Oh yeah, what’s wrong with that?” “I mean- how do you enforce that?” “I mean, we really can’t, unless someone was watching.” Florida: “You guys must have the WORST corn.” “I think we’re done here.”
Okay, I've only been to WA and OR repeatedly, all the states we stopped in to WI once, and that's where we live now. Oh, and we went to PA for a vacation. What the fudge is Wawa? I kind of pieced together the dogfish head a but slow.
This is probably one of my favorite intro videos in a while!! I dunno what it is about it, but i always come back to it. I liked seeing govs personality show through a bit! The pumpkin comment made me laugh, lmao.
Can confirm Pumpkin Chunkin is pretty cool. You got the little hand made pvc launchers and the medieval full sized trebuchets that could take down a castle wall with pumpkins.
Lived in delaware my whole life. Never heard about the grottos dumpster thing. And I am currently trying to remember if Pumpkin chunkin is still a thing. I know it stopped when I was younger due to safety concerns, but I honestly can't remember it starting again. Then again I haven't watched the news since like Middle school. (Its hard to keep everything safe when your flinging pumpkins with a trebuchet)
As someone who almost got into 2 car accidents where other people genuinely couldn’t drive while on a 5 minute drive in P.A., I can confirm the drivers are something.
@Bill L Good... Our Empire, with Justin Tucker and his remarkable experience as a surgeon, football placekicker, and opera singer at the helm, we will conquer the world!
I learned more about Delaware in the last 4 minutes than I knew before. My mother lived there for a few years but she never really said anything about it. All I know is it was the first state. It's really small. Three counties? My city's MSA has more than double that.
Yes finally! Missed a few chances for jokes with places like Slaughter Beach, Broadkill and Helen's Sausage house but nice to be seen :) and yes we have issues with out of state drivers
Why would you even wanna joke about Helen's? That was a diner Elvis went to RELIGIOUSLY every time he came through to perform in PA. Helen's is a Historical LANDMARK!
As a Delawarean, I can account that the only time people come from other states is for race weekend in Dover, which when that happens, stay as far away from Dover as possible because, well, Goodluck. And firefly, which also good luck going anywhere during either of those times. Oh and it’s annoying when Biden goes to his house in Lewes…. Helicopters everywhere. One “good” thing is that no one really remembers we exist so we shouldn’t be too bothered.
@@blitzdecade I know right but there are more in Maryland than Delaware my cousin is a manager of one and my brother works at the main one everyone goes to near the parking lot. The lines are terrible at the main one so I got to my cousin for my free hook up
The fact Ben struggled to say "no fighting" shows how Floridian he actually is lol
Delaware & the government made eye-contact like they never seen each other in their life
Kinda like two tom cats in an intense stare off before a fight.
Which is funny because the President is from Delaware 😂
They probably don't want to admit they know each other.
That cause we're a tax haven delaware has more corporations than people
@@Altered_Perceptions yep - I worked for large banks - they'd group states together, but Delaware is always incorporated on it's own.

As a DE resident, the accuracy in this made my day. Growing up in Hockessin, fighting PA drivers was a local passtime.
and it still is lol
WE ARE PENN STATE
And how do you say Hockessin? HOW DO YOU SAY HOCKESSIN?!?!🤣🤣
This would have been good to add along side Lewes!
@@benjaminforman8901Hockessin is pronounced Ho-kess-in. At least that's how I've heard it pronounced growing up in Dover.
Fighting them how? And also, why?
Im surprised no one mentioned the fact there’s an old WaWa just outside Dover that’s now an adult store now called “Ben Dover”
That's because the name of the store is one word and not 2 so people just think it's called "BendOver"
As someone from Delaware, you nailed this 😂

Use everything but the oink.
@@nekoali2 I think they include the oink.
Eh... not necessarily... but it is mainly liver, heart, and kidney
I love the giant launchers people build to chuck pumpkins. It's one of the funniest things I've ever heard people do as a large group.
They don't have pumpkin chunkin in Delaware anymore. It's a liability issue I think 🤦🤷

I have been waiting for more states to join the table
Same here. I always like how Florida calls different stuff for which ever state is joining the table.
So have I
I have been waiting for him getting to Arkansas
I’m consistently impressed with how you managed to look sound and act like completely different people in these.
"What state haven't we been banned from?"
"There's Delaware."
"Woohoo, the Simpsons are going to Delaware!"
At this point, Florida is a national treasure to admire (from a distance).
I love how when Florida actually gets serious everyone immediately backs down.
