I'm from Long Island, and it didn't bother me one bit, plus I've driven through western NY, and yeah it's the ignored part, NYC keeps hogging all the attention,
As an Upstate NY resident my entire life I was in no way offended by this episode. In fact, it is probably the best episode of the Simpsons in a long time. People are too easily offended these days and that’s a problem. Being able to laugh at oneself, especially in an instance like this, is healthy. I also think inviting the writers of the Simpsons to the State Fair will only give them more material. Therefore, I absolutely hope the writers go to the fair and write the sequel to this episode with a whole new song that we can all laugh with. Best Episode Ever! 😬
Also it puts a spotlight on the issues that Upstate NY has. Can't keep ignoring the population decline and the fact that our tax dollars are stolen from us to benefit NYC.
Not just the roads in Utica but Irondequoit as well. My cousin lives in Irondequoit and the road to his apartment is like driving off-road but it's more bumpier
The song is true though. I've lived in upstate NY my whole life and it's terrible. Rochester has a high crime rate, the weather is depressing, the taxes are high af. I'm hoping to leave here in the future. As Will Farrel said, "Everybody's doing it."
As a person who lives in Henrietta I can confirm that all of that Simpsons episode is correct and I find it funny as well Edit: that lady in the purple shirt seems like a Karen
I love how they interviewed a lady in an empty parking lot under a grey sky. And finished the segment with a shot of the Olbliston apartments: Dopehead Center.
I've lived all over the country in the last 20 years and I can say the worst potholes are for sure New England and Upstate NY. But, if we count Puerto Rico as part of the USA then it's by far the worst.
Tbh this Simpsons clip was very true for all of N.Y. North of Utica. Though they forgot about all the prisions, which provide the majority of our income. My "home-town" has 4 of them. Typing from Franklin and St. Laurence County's.
Offended? By truth? What part was not true? The only people "offended" by this are: 1. The people who caused it to be true. 2. The people who have either enabled or tolerated the people in #1... and don't like being reminded of just how dumb they really are.
@@colonelyungblonsk7730 Agreed, but the problem goes way back before Andrew Cuomo... in fact back before even his father, Mario. The two generations of legislators who have allowed and those who continually re-elect them... all the time whining about NYC while doing nothing to stand up for the people who sent them there.
So far Andrew Cuomo is the biggest problem considering his own state ranks 50th in population growth. The state has the biggest population decline in the United States and I wonder why he's in charge?
There's a Simpsons historic lesson. Take notes everyone. The Simpsons make fun of everybody and everything. I repeat The Simpsons make fun of everyone and everything. They just don't make fun of one city state town or county. They make fun of everybody everywhere in the world.
I think the Simpsons did a fantastic job of pointing out many of the problems that upstate NY faces; problems that have existed for at least my entire life and that will probably persist well into the future. That's the part that's infuriating. It's not the fact that the Simpsons just pointed it out.
Nobody's making a big deal about The Simpsons episode where they make fun of Utica New York over a hamburger. And then there's other Simpson episodes where they blatantly make fun of Utica New York. So why the complaint about this one and not the other ones?
Half of my family resides Upstate, though I am a NYC native. I took some stuff to heart, like the kodak thing (kodak employed a lot of my family) and some other stuff
For being in the same state as NYC and even Long Island , Upstate NY is a pariah. Economically disadvantaged, low income households, lots of drug abuse and addiction , poor access to healthcare, endemic of teen pregnancies, yet politically liberal (you’ll find BLM posters still up on peoples homes And pride flags). Just a strange region of the country. In winter it is extremely depressing. But in summer and fall it is scenically beautiful.
The Simpsons make fun of a lot of things, except firefighters. Getting offended by cartoon seems a bit trivial. Like tucker carlson seemingly having a sexual desire for and getting really upset about the shoe style of the green M&M.
I’ve lived in Miami for two years but I’ve lived in New York for 24 I grew up there and upstate right outside the capital of Albany and a city called Schenectady well technically Scotia I was shocked they didn’t say anything about Schenectady Buffalo and Utica were expected and then I saw Niskayuna and I started dying the look of disappointment people have on their face when you tell them you’re from New York and they start mentioning the borough is that they lived in are they visited and then you said oh no I’m from upstate they literally look at you like what the fuck is in upstate
Well there's many reasons to leave upstate NY. High taxes, horrible roads, double-digit unemployment rate, a 7 month winter season, dead economy, neglected by politians of New York City, would you like me to go on an on?
I live here in WNY, I thought Guy Simpsons was pretty hilarious and absolutely spot on. We can thank our wonderful governor for the notoriety were getting.
Utica is growing. The people on public assistance are breeding. Lmao. The people who own businesses and work are leaving. The Simpson's clip is accurate. No real jobs are being created and people are leaving. The try the food. It directly represents the economy. Restaurant workers make enough to support families. Right? I live in Syracuse, and are in Utica frequently. Utica, and Rome are not pretty.
Virgilian here. Gotta say this is all true, but I still love it here. The countryside is beautiful and the people are good, simple folk. We've got a lotta problems and we sure as heck need somebody to pay us more attention, but I can't complain about growing up here.
Honestly I think Upstate NY and NYC a different but people clump them together when they say like “ oh I went to New York City this last week and they were so rude down there, New Yorkers are mean altogether”. Yeah I have to disagree because I’ve seen upstate NY and they are so nice and kind there.
Dear Dorothy. YOU ARE BEING MADE FUN OF. Also, it's a commentary on how Albany forgot about you all a long time ago. I lived in Vernon for 34 years. I moved in 2018 (thank god I wasn't there for the pandemic) Is there even anyone left from Upstate in NY? Because after I moved south I've met more Upstate NY'ers than any one else... It's a sh*thole folks, you've just been living in it day to day for so long that you're conditioned to it. MOVE OUT. Don't believe me? Well one of the writers who made that episode, IS FROM UPSTATE NY. They didn't just randomly out of the blue crap on you, they told you what they experienced LIVING THERE. "There's so much to do, so many places to go." Really Dorothy? Name three outside the Fair, the Carrier Dome, Destiny USA and Turning Stone Casino that aren't a livestock auction... You can't because every time someone had an idea to bring a business into the area, it got taxed to death or shut down by some whining loser about a noise ordinance, or some other BS excuse to keep the area in the sh!ts. Oneida County in particular was a joke on a level I can't begin to explain.
Really? There’s so much here to do? *Really*? There’s nothing here, literally nothing. Pizza and wings is the only thing you can do in utica. It’s a shithole. Absurd taxes, potholes every two feet, terrible employment.
If you live in Utica or anywhere else in Upstate New York, I have a simple question: why haven't you moved to Florida yet? I used to live in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Thank god I own a 4x4 just so I could negotiate Whirlpool Street to get to the Wegnans or I290 in NFNY. My wife and I moved to Orlando years ago. Orlando may be like Buffalo with palm trees, but at least the roads are paved.
Upstate New York pecking order: Utica bottom, Syracuse second from bottom, Rochester second from top and Buffalo at the top of an unimpressive group of former industrial centers. Blood, sweat and tears made these areas and now with most of the manufacturing either overseas or in the South, Upstate New York cities are searching for new identities. High taxes, strict and excessive regulation / laws and harsh winters make these former industrial centers hard to convert to new economies in a meaningful way. Tesla was committed to producing 2,500 jobs in exchange for hundreds of millions of New York State tax monies towards a new plant in Buffalo, New York. Thus far, several years latter, only about 500 jobs have been created.
Boohoo central n New Yorkers! I was born and raised in Syracuse and have to agree 100% with this episode! The creators nailed it! And it's only typical for these residents to stay in denial... this place is horrible and its people are delusional at their best!
I'm sorry but coming up from the city whenever I told ppl I live in Utica they thought I meant Utica Ave back in Brooklyn. At least upstate is getting some attention
I thought it was great! Many of my friends did not understand the imploding Kodak building, and the sparse Bills stadium crowd foreshadowed the pandemic impact. Another Simpsons prediction came true!!!
I live in Upstate NY, The Simpsons hit it head on. The population in NY has been declining for years and for good reason. The liberal government of the state has run Upstate into a virtual ghost town. I guess the old saying "the truth hurts" is true.
@@tommytruth7595 It ain't just the weather. I left Poughkeepsie 2 years ago and headed to the west coast. NY has utterly and completely failed as a functioning state. NY's Golden era ended in the 1980s. I know third world countries that still treat their people better than that regional black hole known as "Upstate NY".
Dude I went to college in Potsdam about two hours north of Watertown. The only thing good about that place was that it was close to the Canadian border.
I too have lived in Upstate NY all my life and thought it was hilarious. I live a stones throw away from Niskayuna, so the water tower was fun to see. There’s tons of good here too. Adirondack Park. Our downtown is coming back to life. Loads of great restaurants and they are always packed. Our park is pretty big for the city size and the rose garden is gorgeous with tennis courts, dog park, frisbee golf, hiking trails (those need help), pool, ponds, baseball, basket ball, playground. Almost every city/town goes through its ups and downs throughout the years. I could pick apart the good and bad where I live. So what? The vid was still funny!
I was born and raised in Upstate New York. I thought it was hilarious.

Well it doesn't suck where I live but yes I find it funny
I find it funny but buffalo doesn't suck. It's just satire.

Ive lived in upstate New York my whole life and thought it was amazingly true!
Same!

I've seen better roads in third world countries than in Utica NY.
Every Upstate city today is nothing but a third world city.
The road near my cousin's apartment is like driving off-road but even bumpier
@@tommytruth7595 true but I love the schools here though
Upstate ny is good if you don't like natural disasters
@@masterclassbeatassclapyour7698 agreed
The only good part of Utica is UC. And most of the campus is in New Hartford
I love this song I was born and raised in upstate New York anyone who was offended has no humor
Or any sense of reality. It only takes four counties in NYS to determine Federal elections.
How did Utica get its name?
When they found out the word "shit" was already taken.
Jason Foster leave utica tf alone lmao
The roads in Utica do suck and it's been on social media a few different times from people who live in the area.
Not just the roads in Utica but Irondequoit as well. My cousin lives in Irondequoit and the road to his apartment is like driving off-road but it's more bumpier
People are just getting offended by everything. Stop it
The land of steamed hams.
Nah, not in Utica. It's an Albany expression.
Hahahahahaha
The song is true though. I've lived in upstate NY my whole life and it's terrible. Rochester has a high crime rate, the weather is depressing, the taxes are high af. I'm hoping to leave here in the future. As Will Farrel said, "Everybody's doing it."
Hmmm move to Seattle..
@@mikestarr6204 nah home you neva been here
Well everyone is doing it. New York State leads the United States in population decline. The state ranked 50th in population growth...
People are Offended by it because is so true!
As a Rochester native, if these people and the mayor of that town feel this offended, then the truth hurts 😂
I live in Upstate NY and I laughed at the jabs at it. It's not meant to be taken seriously. It's a joke.
I live in WestChester we don’t count as upstate.
As a person who lives in Henrietta I can confirm that all of that Simpsons episode is correct and I find it funny as well
Edit: that lady in the purple shirt seems like a Karen
I’m a little scared how you might be my neighbor
I'm not sure she was a Karen. I got the feeling that someone in her life was an addict.
It's a great place to leave. I mean live. #collegetownpizza
Greg Narayan 🤣🤣
"I wanna sleep in a city that never wakes" that made me laugh loudly..
being born and raised in buffalo, i laughed at the instant snow dump at the end
This isn't a jab at the people it's a jab at the politics that have ruined upstate NY.
It’s The Simpsons. It’s when they DON’T make fun of you, that you should be worried !
I grew up in upstate NY and could not wait to escape! The bad economy and crappy weather totally outweighs the few positives. The song was spot on.
As a Rochester native, y’all need to chill, it’s hilarious

You can't defend upstate, it's literally as bad as you could guess. It's disgusting here.
I'm just happy that we are getting representation. #upstatenewyork
Nope the episode was right on you guys all know it
