“One thing that unites every part of Los Angeles is that no matter where you go there is zero sense of community” is the most accurate description of LA I’ve ever heard
I felt this way as a young person who had just moved here, but I have found Los Angeles to have great community. I know most of my neighbors, love our public school, can't go for coffee or even a pro sporting event without seeing someone I know. In my experience, community depends on how engaged you choose to be.
Friday night I went the Sparks game at Crypto, and as I was riding back to Little Tokyo station through Skid Row, I encountered a heap of burning trash and two firefighters standing next to it, one wide-eyed, the other one with his head down texting. Definitely no mayor, right?
@@trainwreck420ish Lol, it definitely wasn't like NBA competition, but I gotta say the game itself was really fun. People will get pissed at me for saying this, but it's like a pimped out high school basketball game. Only the lower section of the arena is filled in so it feels really personal, and they have a hype man and a bunch of dancers doing their thing keeping the energy up. Would go back for sure. Them other boys in Cancun every summer anyway
Bus lanes, separated bike lanes. Converting the central isle of highways to host either LRT or Trams. Underground metro. A combination of any of the above.
But you could connect the sprawl with local centers, that are bike reachable, and also run trams or subways to connect more far appart places. Of course, europe still has cities that are more sprawly and car centric, but from the media and news coming over, it seems like the us really has nyc as a public transport friendly city, and even it's subways are notorious for crime and beind dilapidated. And then Chicago and maybe Philadelphia as sort of oldtimey transport friendlier cities, due to being established when it was all more europe influenced. In any casez I dont know enoug about US cities, but I do know, incentivising walking and biking, and connecting further appart places with trams, trains or subways is a good way to encourage people to leave cars behind for only out of town activities.
There's definitely jokes to be had on what the shapes of city outlines look like, and whether they reflect the character of the place. If you tilt your head, L.A. kinda looks like a duck spitting a long tongue out. I'm sure someone could make a joke out of that.
Lived in LA my whole life. Never met half my neighbors, don’t know any of them on a first name basis, and dress in a t-shirt and basketball shorts and sandals everyday I’m not at work. Life is good.
@@compsigh9275 it ‘can be’, but LA is a town for the independent person and lifestyle. People born in LA understand this. It can be impersonal, but you learn to take care of yourself and be street smart. If people want a great relationship with their neighbors, that’s nice, but then they should probably move back to Ohio before they ruin the culture here.
You can or cannot be close with your neighbors. It's a choice you make wherever you live. No obligations. Angelinos tend not to meet neighbors because of car culture
"The LAPD flies a helicopter over every single person's home for 12 to 13 hours a day." I didn't even realize how this hadn't happened since I moved to Oregon until a helicopter buzzed overhead SUPER low and loud and startled the heck out of me here. It used to be such a common part of the general background noise!
In the 80s my mom lived in Santa Monica and grew weed on the roof of her apartment building. Every time she heard a helicopter buzzing low overhead, she would run out and cover her plants just in case…
"They had cool names and cool branding. But that doesn't mean what they did was right. In fact, it was wrong." That delivery was deadpanning on the level of Norm Macdonald.
@@unmoris The map is only the City of Los Angeles, despite all those unique names all those communities are simply the City of Los Angeles. In Hawthorne you have your own mayor and a council members to balance the avg viewpoints of your community. In City of Los Angeles you have a mayor who runs the city with council members that act like little mayors playing Tug of War on what is best for the city without considering how it will negatively impact different communities. Like imagine if El Segundo fixed both Hawthorne's roads and schools, which area would get most of the attention? Generally the wealthy area, they'd take their tax dollars and yours and make their area way better. Fortunately Hawthorne has it's own city so it can control and run it's community independent from others views or wishes. If everyone in the city of LA teams up against Wilmington, then Wilmington gets nothing.... and when visiting that area, you clearly see the disparity. The City of LA is one of the richest in the county 21.6 Billion, could invest 46 million per square mile. That would be very close to Burbank's revenue, but as you see, all those communities are not at the "Burbank" level. Additionally bonds/vendor government manipulation through false promises makes it harder to track, vs Hawthorne if you really want to be involved. Most things going on are at a driving distance that's reasonable. But how many in the Valley go to Harbor Area? How many people from Wilmington go to Sylmar? Yet the city voters apply city wide changes to areas they know nothing about. How can that ever go horribly wrong? Again you might say, that's City of Los Angeles problems, but how many times have those problems leaked over to the county? Lomita and Harbor City? Carson and Harbor Gateway? Palos Verdes murders from people in Panorama City? It's in the best interest of everyone to either break up the city or fix it, but more than 100 years later, and corruption is stronger than ever.
As a Native Angeleno, I don't see how this is that difficult. I mean it should be easy for anyone to remember our 20+ different cities and the cultures that reside within them.
Former Angelino here. Mulaney nailed it. I have so many mixed emotions about L.A. There is a part of me that's happy that i got out of there, and there's also a part of me that misses it terribly.
In a completely unsurprising turn of events, John has left Gardena, Torrance and the majority of the South Bay unmarked and unacknowledged, much as it is in most media regarding LA.
The most offensive part of this to people from Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood is the suggestion that they are not their own incorporated cities.
I was really hoping he'd say something like "This is Hollywood, which sounds like a city but is a neighborhood, and this is West Hollywood, which sounds like a neighborhood but is a city."
HEY! I resemble that remark! You mean "down behind the orange curtain" don't you? The only reason Angelenos hate Orange County is that the roads are in L.A. are in such bad shape, and choked with so much traffic, that they can't get to Orange County.
"One thing that unites all of la is there's zero sense of community" That's a real Futurama gag. Like "no one drives in New York, there's too much traffic" or "so plausible I can't believe it"
I live in the same area of Santa Monica where my family has lived since like 1940, and any community that my mom and grandparents had has dried up. I’m so lonely!
That's been my experience too. I'm from the midwest, and live in NELA (northeast of downtown). I love the community. I love the families from our dual-language public school. I love LAFC and Angel City games. I can't walk down Figueroa (or go to BMO Stadium) without running into someone I know, and often say "Los Angeles is a small town." John says things that I would say as a young person who had just moved here.

As a former Angelino.... highly accurate! Right up there with the fact that all freeways in Los Angeles have be prefaced with "The" for some reason. LA is a pretty much where you go if you want to have the life leached out of you.
Just don't try to pronounce San Pedro correctly, people won't know where you are talking about. The local version is like San Peedro, with a long e in the first syllable.
I have never been to L.A. but lots of the crime series I love take place in the areas Mulaney is talking about. His fun tout is helping me locate all the places the heroes and and criminals live. Thanks J.M.
This popped up for me today after several days of wildfires and I’d say there’s a strong sense of community in LA in response ❤ (also this is still hilarious)
This was pretty GD funny. The perspective of a New Yorker on Los Angeles. I remember having that weird perspective myself when I moved here. Insane bits of truth hidden in even nuttier fabrications. I work in downtown LA and I love it there. The idea that nobody goes there is kind of silly, hordes of people flow in every evening for entertainment and fun, and when we were looking for a place to buy we couldn't remotely afford any of the new apartments downtown. I also love Los Angeles and have been here for over 20 years (after moving from New York for work) and wouldn't live anywhere else. But this was hysterical. Even if there was only a kernel of truth in some of the jokes or they were based on outdated perceptions. Is it his delivery? Certain things were spot on: the absurd use of helicopters for policing in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep. The fact that the mayor (and we have a great one right now) can do very little to actually run the place. It's run by the neighborhood representatives. I was surprised that he actually knew a lot about that. He nailed the politics. As for sense of community, that depends on the community you're in. I started sticking to the east side because the neighborhoods are cohesive and supportive and work to address problems. Either way, I'm gonna definitely check out the series.
@@GUITARTIME2024 You may be right, but it’s been there since the beginning of the century and downtown has certainly thrived on and off since then. Right now it’s beginning to boom again. Still, the location makes no sense. It’s mind-boggling that it’s still there.
John Mullaney has to do Toronto. If he thought L.A. traffic was a nightmarish hellscape, he’s in for a treat. Toronto took what Peter Ustinov said about it being like New York…run by the Swiss as a compliment, when it was anything but. Y’see Peter Ustinov hated being in New York, and he definitely *HATED* the Swiss.
Fun fact, my Dad was born in 1960 in Frogtown LA (also called Elysian Valley) and his best friend’s Dad growing up was one of the two Hillside Stranglers😭✋ The way I WISH I was making this shit up but I am indeed not 🥲✋
@@daltongalloway It's technically true; New York City's MTA is HEAVY rail, and the city will always be the undisputed champion of transit in the United States by a wide margin. Los Angeles does (or DID) have the highest light rail ridership in the country. I think San Diego took the title this year. L.A.'s transit has a lot of superlatives...2nd highest bus ridership in the nation, and the LONGEST light rail line in the WORLD. A lower percentage of Los Angelenos (10%) take transit daily to work than cities like Chicago (27%) and New York (55%!!) but overall it's a solid and growing system.
I was so excited to see what he was going to say about us and then I realized that the entire south bay (torrance, gardena, palos verdes, etc) was a big blank space. Lol I forgot that we're not part of LA city limits, just LA County! lololol
I grew up in Wilmington, CA (the little part in the bottom of the map. Hahaha). But in the Southbay area (Wilmington, San Pedro, Harbor City, etc) it's almost the complete opposite of what most people in the "West Side" think of LA. There is a strong sense of community, neighbors all know each other, we actually like going to DTLA for the party/restaurant scene since it's one of the closest areas shown in that map (Long Beach is our preferred area but that's not technically LA). I think most celebrities only really know of the West Side of LA and the media also only really depicts this area in movies and TV shows. Everytime I hear people describe Los Angeles or see it on TV, I never really feel that's the Los Angeles I know. I guess you can say our area is unique because it's a mix of a port town, beach town, city life, and majority immigrant families. I hear people like to bash LA and call the people "fake" or that most everyone is trying to "make it in the industry". But again, I think that's mostly what you see in a small area of LA and with mostly transplants that are not originally from the LA area. I would just encourage visitors as well as Angelinos that mainly stay in the West side to visit the South Bay and other areas of LA to see the other sides of a wonderful city.
first time I have ever laughed at anything John Mulaney has said lol. and I dont mean that as a read, His comedy has just never been my taste, but he is clearly good at what he does and now I see it because this was hilarious. Mainly because its all so entirely too true lol
as someone who has to look at this map pretty much every day for work, funny bit. My only issue is that Santa Monica, Culver City, Bever Hills, San Fernando, and West Holly Wood are all actual cities that surround and are surrounded by Los Angeles.....so the map looks more like a broken chicken wing with holes in it. Also the fact my neighborhood is actually mentioned is a plus
Well, I suppose the "roasting" of the South Bay, etc., was effectively done by leaving it completely off the map, which is par for the course, except for a mention of Hawthorne (also not on the map) while pointing at a completely incorrect location that only folks out here or Elon Musk would bother to notice.
Fun fact: neither Beverly Hills nor West Hollywood are a part of the city of Los Angeles. They are their own individual cities that are part of the county of Los Angeles.
“One thing that unites every part of Los Angeles is that no matter where you go there is zero sense of community” is the most accurate description of LA I’ve ever heard

5:27 I literally had the same thought walking in DTLA years ago - this is how it must of felt? 😂 NYC in the 70s and 80s or prelude to BladeRunner.
Finally, someone pronounces Los Feliz correctly 😭 Everytime I hear “Los Feelehz” it makes me wanna shove kitchen shears into my eardrums
Just don't try to pronounce San Pedro correctly, people won't know where you are talking about. The local version is like San Peedro, with a long e in the first syllable.
I have never been to L.A. but lots of the crime series I love take place in the areas Mulaney is talking about. His fun tout is helping me locate all the places the heroes and and criminals live. Thanks J.M.
This popped up for me today after several days of wildfires and I’d say there’s a strong sense of community in LA in response ❤ (also this is still hilarious)
John Mulaney is a National Treasure🤗
I laughed out loud at a couple of these jokes! Will watch!
If he was gonna include cities like Beverly Hills and Santa Monica might aswell include all of LA County.
I love maps, so I found this to be very funny!
that Donald Surfing bit got me
This was pretty GD funny. The perspective of a New Yorker on Los Angeles. I remember having that weird perspective myself when I moved here. Insane bits of truth hidden in even nuttier fabrications.
I work in downtown LA and I love it there. The idea that nobody goes there is kind of silly, hordes of people flow in every evening for entertainment and fun, and when we were looking for a place to buy we couldn't remotely afford any of the new apartments downtown.
I also love Los Angeles and have been here for over 20 years (after moving from New York for work) and wouldn't live anywhere else.
But this was hysterical. Even if there was only a kernel of truth in some of the jokes or they were based on outdated perceptions. Is it his delivery?
Certain things were spot on: the absurd use of helicopters for policing in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep.
The fact that the mayor (and we have a great one right now) can do very little to actually run the place. It's run by the neighborhood representatives.
I was surprised that he actually knew a lot about that. He nailed the politics.
As for sense of community, that depends on the community you're in. I started sticking to the east side because the neighborhoods are cohesive and supportive and work to address problems.
Either way, I'm gonna definitely check out the series.
Until skid row is closed down, downtown wont properpy thrive.
@@GUITARTIME2024
You may be right, but it’s been there since the beginning of the century and downtown has certainly thrived on and off since then. Right now it’s beginning to boom again. Still, the location makes no sense. It’s mind-boggling that it’s still there.
John Mulaney is a genius, consistently fresh and funny!
L.A to the world 🌎😂
As a native here, we like it as much as we hate it, and it’s as cool as much as it sucks. That makes no sense just like us 😅
Get this man in front of some more maps - NYC, Chicago, DC, SF, Paris, London, Tokyo, Moscow… 🌎
John Mullaney has to do Toronto. If he thought L.A. traffic was a nightmarish hellscape, he’s in for a treat. Toronto took what Peter Ustinov said about it being like New York…run by the Swiss as a compliment, when it was anything but. Y’see Peter Ustinov hated being in New York, and he definitely *HATED* the Swiss.
Fun fact, my Dad was born in 1960 in Frogtown LA (also called Elysian Valley) and his best friend’s Dad growing up was one of the two Hillside Stranglers😭✋ The way I WISH I was making this shit up but I am indeed not 🥲✋
My mom was a teacher and one of her students lost his sister to the Hillside Strangler. She was only 15 and had been shopping at Eagle Rock Plaza.
LA Metro has the highest light rail ridership of any system in the nation....
Not even true. New York has more
@@daltongalloway It's technically true; New York City's MTA is HEAVY rail, and the city will always be the undisputed champion of transit in the United States by a wide margin. Los Angeles does (or DID) have the highest light rail ridership in the country. I think San Diego took the title this year. L.A.'s transit has a lot of superlatives...2nd highest bus ridership in the nation, and the LONGEST light rail line in the WORLD. A lower percentage of Los Angelenos (10%) take transit daily to work than cities like Chicago (27%) and New York (55%!!) but overall it's a solid and growing system.
@@ItsScottJonesas soon as they finish the extension connecting the Hawthorne and Inglewood through LAX, it’ll be so much more convenient for me
And the longest, if I'm not mistaken
And half are defacating or screaming.
That joke about Beverly Hills is too on point 💀
The only joke I actually laughed at was the Beach Boys one. "Daddy's gonna take your fucking car away" 😂😂😂
Me too.
I love how the SGV is a part of LA county but we're not on the map lol
It’s like South Bay, east los and maybe even oc on top of sgv don’t exist. Some scripted content push by la transplants 😟
We paid him off to stay out of it 😂
This is referring to LA City and the cities that are surrounded by LA City like BH and Santa Monica
I was so excited to see what he was going to say about us and then I realized that the entire south bay (torrance, gardena, palos verdes, etc) was a big blank space. Lol I forgot that we're not part of LA city limits, just LA County! lololol
First I've heard of this L.A.! Sounds like an interesting place 😀
I grew up in Wilmington, CA (the little part in the bottom of the map. Hahaha). But in the Southbay area (Wilmington, San Pedro, Harbor City, etc) it's almost the complete opposite of what most people in the "West Side" think of LA. There is a strong sense of community, neighbors all know each other, we actually like going to DTLA for the party/restaurant scene since it's one of the closest areas shown in that map (Long Beach is our preferred area but that's not technically LA). I think most celebrities only really know of the West Side of LA and the media also only really depicts this area in movies and TV shows. Everytime I hear people describe Los Angeles or see it on TV, I never really feel that's the Los Angeles I know. I guess you can say our area is unique because it's a mix of a port town, beach town, city life, and majority immigrant families. I hear people like to bash LA and call the people "fake" or that most everyone is trying to "make it in the industry". But again, I think that's mostly what you see in a small area of LA and with mostly transplants that are not originally from the LA area. I would just encourage visitors as well as Angelinos that mainly stay in the West side to visit the South Bay and other areas of LA to see the other sides of a wonderful city.
This is hilarious. Mulaney has upped his game considerably!
The brilliant thing about this is that when you picture LA in your mind, its probably not actually LA. Its a different suburb.
finally a fuckin map that explains these weird terms LA people use that think it's secondhand for everyone
first time I have ever laughed at anything John Mulaney has said lol. and I dont mean that as a read, His comedy has just never been my taste, but he is clearly good at what he does and now I see it because this was hilarious. Mainly because its all so entirely too true lol
Loved this live! Hope it returns.
This show was amazing! Do it again!!!!
Classic, ending on ‘and’. Love it.
😂 so funny, so true.
Weird to see all the other cities in LA metro area not listed. This was a really helpful map. :)
I have only been in Los Angeles a few days in my entire life but I understood almost every joke.
Mulaneys comedy in the past never hit with me but this was A+!
as someone who has to look at this map pretty much every day for work, funny bit. My only issue is that Santa Monica, Culver City, Bever Hills, San Fernando, and West Holly Wood are all actual cities that surround and are surrounded by Los Angeles.....so the map looks more like a broken chicken wing with holes in it. Also the fact my neighborhood is actually mentioned is a plus
I can't imagine the jokes if he expanded this map to cover all of Los Angeles county.
Palmdale getting all the strays
That description of Beverly Hills is so on point.
This map is missing El Segundo/Manhattan Beach/Hermosa Beach/ Palos Verdes. This area needs roasting too, John.
those are their own cities hahaha, not LA. definitely need roast tho😂
Well, I suppose the "roasting" of the South Bay, etc., was effectively done by leaving it completely off the map, which is par for the course, except for a mention of Hawthorne (also not on the map) while pointing at a completely incorrect location that only folks out here or Elon Musk would bother to notice.
The only thing I know about El Segundo California, is that Q Tip from A Tribe Called Quest left his wallet there.
Please bring this show back!!!!
Haha this is great. I lived in LA for 3 years (Beverly Hills & Santa Monica), this is totally spot-on.
Wow - this means so much more today
"... there is zero sense of community AND" CUT!!!!!
Fun fact: neither Beverly Hills nor West Hollywood are a part of the city of Los Angeles. They are their own individual cities that are part of the county of Los Angeles.
file under basic facts
no one cares, this is comedy, not a documentary
I care. Thanks!
Which rather perfectly speaks to the idea that no one really knows the city boundaries, and lumps the county in with the city all the time.
This was fantastic hahaha
4 of those "neighborhoods" are actually separate cities (Beverly Hills, San Fernando, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood) and are not part of L.A.
Hey yeah, how come they get to be on there when Palos Verdes and Torrance aren't!
@@ashproductions Right, exactly!
This is why im from LA when people out of state ask and i can say im from gardena if u from la cause most people have NO idea where gardena is
Also including the Cities of Santa Monica and Beverly Hills in a map of the City of Los Angeles lol
There are at least 10 serious errors in that map
And then the Mayor calls in. Amazing.
