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.
"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!
That is unofficially an official motto. And accurate.
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 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?
As someone from Delaware, you nailed this 😂
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.
Hi rightful clay of Maryland 👋
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.
@@daviddonahoe1303 you can only find scrapple in pa, Delaware, Maryland and some of Virginia
Facts
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 implies that the whole state is some sort of dimensional anomaly...
@@comparatorclock from what I hear of Delaware (which is little) that sounds about right.
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
@@doglover4734 or during Firefly
I was wondering if they were gonna do a joke on Delaware not being the first to join The Table, and you did not disappoint. 🤣🤣🤣
I don't remember... did he let Vermont join before Delaware? He HAD Hawaii already, she complained about the tourists and Haulis...
@@Ugly_German_Truths Yes. Vermont joined The Table way before Delaware.
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
@@Ugly_German_Truths
The full order is as follows:
2020;
South Carolina, Louisiana, Ohio, Utah, Massachusetts (my homeland), Florida (Ben’s homeland), Indiana, PA, Michigan, Kentucky, Colorado, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Illinois, South Dakota, North Carolina, Alaska (2-Parter), Maryland, Connecticut.
2021;

2022;
Maine, California, Washington, Minnesota, Hawaii, (East) Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Montana.
Yet to come in 2023;
Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri (I hope he mentions Eminem), Nebraska, North Dakota, Wyoming.
@@maxrichards3881I'm born, raised, and still live in Massachusetts. Nice to see another mass-hole. Lol
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.
This is a wonderful, if graphic, description. Thank you for the clarification!
Use everything but the oink.
@@nekoali2 I think they include the oink.
Eh... not necessarily... but it is mainly liver, heart, and kidney
As someone from Delaware, the fact that you didn't mention our state motto "no sales tax" makes me sad.
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 still have my team Chucky shirt after nearly 10 years
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.
It's food. It's not good food. It's also Not Delawarianish.
You're not a TRUE Delawarean if you don't eat scrapple
Everything but the oink! Best fried crispy on the outside, and soft and mushy on the inside.
@@linuxuser21629 Everything but the oink? The oink is in there....we don't waste ANYTHING from that pig lol
delaware was so excited when he first got called-
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
At this point, Florida is a national treasure to admire (from a distance).
I’m consistently impressed with how you managed to look sound and act like completely different people in these.
I love how when Florida actually gets serious everyone immediately backs down.
"What state haven't we been banned from?"
"There's Delaware."
"Woohoo, the Simpsons are going to Delaware!"
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.
I would have guessed that Scrapple is when you're fighting over the last Snapple.
Or when you lose a game of scrabble
i was going to guess when you fight over a scrabble game
@@Snomrade more like when someone tries arguing that their last play is a real word.
Let The Chaos Begin! 😁
As a Delawarian I can say that all sounds just about right
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.
"Just let him have this!" Flordia was goofing and being nice at the same time hahah Their dynamic is unique with de for real haha 😅
the lsd joke got me so good lmfaooooo lovely stuff as always
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!!
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...
As a Delawarean, I will say, yes, it’s true! We all do know each other. At least two degrees of separation… max!
Thank you for sharing all these States local interests!
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
I remember that Grotto’s incident. I was in HS and it was just down the street at UD. Good times.
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 a Marylander I do love you brought up RoFo
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...
I LOVE THE BEANIE BABY REFERENCE, I SAW THAT ADVICE ARTICLE, THAT MADE MY DAY
The fact I was at UD when the Grottos dumpster incident happened is something I wish I didn't have to remember
Ha!!!
Having lived on DelMarVa... This is too funny... Good Job...
NEVER CLICKED SO FAST LETS GOOOOOOO DELAWAREEEEERER
I love Delaware. It's a wonderful state.
Rhode Islander here. This was wicked funny!!!
I died laughing at the joe jelly and preserves joke
As someone from Maryland i can confirm Thrashers is a life style not just fries
YES! MY HOME JOINS THE TABLE
As a Delawarean I’m severely disappointed you never made any jokes about the Delawareans being scared of sales tax. Otherwise nailed it pretty well
Lol. This content is super wacky...... This never gets old!!!!!
Love these!! ❤
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
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.
As a Delaware resident.. he’ll yeah thanks for finally including us Ben!!
RI has no beef with DE we can team up & fight crime😂😂
I'd be curious to see that but also given distance, gas prices and any surprise tolls, we'd probably just go out for lunch or do a business call over the phone.
I'm from Michigan and I made a trebuchet to launch pumpkins for my high school physics class
Says the Texan raised in California...I didn't know Delaware was big enough for three counties.
MD is watching in the corner with Thrashers fries and RoFo chicken instead of popcorn.
I absolutely love the University of Delaware hat. I am literally sitting in UD right now.
As a transplant to delaware... this is completely accurate!
But tourists also come for Firefly
Ooh, what's *this* Firefly? There are so many things (festivals mostly) called that!
@@Kevin-cf9nlfairly big music festival held at dover downs.
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!
Also the Murderkill Hundred.
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.
Love it! The one thing you missed, is Dogfish Head and Wawa.
Isn't wawa a PA's thing.?
@@skar9556 Wawa is in a few states AND has been mentioned in earlier videos... C'MON KEEP TF UP PEOPLE! 😉💜😎😂🗽 #NEWYORKGenXBIKERLady
@@christinegelabert1651 that's a very specific hashtag.
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.
@@DimentioFan1 It's gas station/convenience store. They sell great hoagies at 1 am. They are in NJ, PA, DE, MD and Florida.
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.
Marylander here and thrashers belong to us Delaware gets fishers popcorn. We got a lot more thrashers in ocean city. Keep up the good work tho Ben 💗💗
It’s funny because if you look up thrashers you get the address for one in Rehoboth.
@@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
ROFO also belongs to Maryland
@@billl9273 fair point there. Plus Delaware people don't know the one sin you can't do to them.
As a Person who lives in Delaware, i sure do get a big steam cloud that comes out of my head everytime I see a driver from NJ, PA, and MD 💨🚂😡
lived in both DE and Florida...i understood all of this ....I'm terrified
Same! I grew up in DE and have lived in FL more or less for the past 20 years. I laughed my ass off watching this one.
I died at “I barely know her” 😂
I'm not American and everything I know about the USA's states comes from these videos.
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!!!
As a new Marylander I'm here for the Delaware slamming on MD drivers.
Delaware telling the government how it is LoL priceless 🤣
Here's a daring video. Set Delaware, New Jersey, and PA at the table at the same time...
RoFo?! Wait, the Chesapeake Bay-renowned establishment has expanded? Let's goooooo!
They have them in NJ too
@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!
Not you doing this as soon as I move back 😂
ITS ABOUT DAMN TIme as a resident of DE you nailed it!! I wish everyone didn’t forget about us
Delaware is why few Americans get caught up in those offshore accounting scandals. We don't actually need a tax haven when we have DE and PR.
As a Southern Delaware transplant of 35 years, you did a great job with Delaware.
'Bout time you made another one of these. I was starting to get worried lol.
Delaware .... lived there for 20 years and I find no fault with this skit!
Delaware is more similar to New York than I realized
Trasher fries and Rofo both started in Maryland. Next they'll try to claim Fracture Prune donuts. And scrapple is big in Pennsylvania and Maryland as well. I am now even more convinced Delaware is a lie to limit our coastline and give us a place to shop without sales tax.
guy should do a Delmarva video....
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.
At this point you must know more trivia about the states than anyone else. 😂
"What if you get in front of it?" Lol😂😂😂
I have been to Rohobeth beach and it was very nice, Grotto's pizza is also in PA and it's delicious
🤣😂🤣😂needed this. Thank you
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.”
As someone from Florida who knows a Florida business owner, Delaware's entrance was accurate.
I’m from Maryland and lived in Pennsylvania, so I got most of this. And perked up with the mention of RoFo. Oh, yeah.
I'm so happy the Grotto's Pizza couple made it in. I know I was one of the people who suggested it. X)
So glad you mentioned punkin chunkin
Underrated asf. Makes the acronym LSD w gov reaction had me laughing my ass off
Wait, wait, wait... DelaWhere?
As someone with a valid drivers license in PA, let’s fight
*cracks knuckles in 302*
As Slower, Lower Delawarean...yes to all of this.
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.
Ayoooooooooooooo nailing the major aspects of DE! Nice to see my state get some rep! And you couldn't have hit the PA drivers thing any more accurately, I call it the Great Pennsylvania Navy when it comes to summer time. Thank God I don't work down in Milford anymore...that drive went from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the day when the GPN rolls in...
3:11 now imagine what it’s like to live in Chicago where a major street is called “Lake Shore Drive” …
As someone who has built a trebuchet to fling pumpkins, good job!
Haven’t watched this in a while still holds up to how great it was Dosent disappoint
The Northeast (my home) is Complete!
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Maine, and now Delaware.
All that’s left is;
In the South; Arkansas & Alabama.
In the West; Idaho & Wyoming.
In the Mideast; Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, & North Dakota.
I’m guessing this is going to be the year of Mideast intros.
The CDC/NHSN keep changing the definition of "fully vaccinated". I work at a hospital and have to keep up with reporting all the info for employees. Fully Vaccinated is when the have a full initial vaccination series and 1 bivalent COVID vaccine less than 2 months ago.
That would make a great video! Why the CDC keeps changing the rules!
My family lives in Delaware! My dad's side comes from there.
