“My home state of California”, “I lived a good portion of my life in Illinois”, “ I was born in Minnesota”, make up your mind😂
Mabel Simmons 😂😂😭 literally what I thought
What’s next?😂
ayishi lence girl, let me tell you this funeral finna be lit 🔥
Mabel Simmons, my mom had the same thing happen to her. She was born in SD, but the family moved to IL when she was 2 mo. old.
He was born in Minnesota. He moved to illinois for a while. Then he moved to california and he still lives there
Edit: stop liking my comment. I’m tired of the notifications.
Wag shunga. Alin ang di mo maintindihan. People move.
As an european I grew up only knowing that "USA" is just some one big country, but lately have grown interest to learn more about the individual states. Thank you and greetings from Finland (the actual one).
Ben Brainard is a UA-cam channel that does comedy sketches where he treats the states as actual humans. He's definitely a great way to learn about all the states.
Ever state is basically their own country in size population and culture that’s why I love the us
Me too..
I knew only NYC and LA as the :big important" cities and nothing in between,lool!
This means a lot considering the amount of hate America's getting rn! I've always wanted to go to Finland. Do you ever think you'll visit here?
If you have a chance vist Maryland. This state is so beautiful and historic despite our size.

And West Virginia is basically known for Country Roads
He didn't mention it because of the trip he was saving up for
I don't know if it's also the american stereotype, but in Germany Alabama is known as the equal state to the german state Saarland. Nobody knows anything about them besides the stereotype that the family trees there are circles.

I'm a Greek man and my dad was born in New York City and lived there for the first years of his life and even has citizenship, because my grandparents immigrated and lived in the US for a small period during the 70s. When they returned back home in Greece, they brought a lot of American influence into our family, so I grew up with heavy American influence and a love for American culture during my life.
"Americans" are all people who live in the American continent, not just in the United States
@@revolucion-socialista The United States was the first country to be established on the mainland America Continent
(not talking about Puerto Rico). Also the USA is the only country that has America in its name. And when people from outside of the continents say Americans they specify the US because of the name. When they say Latin Americans they talk about the citizens of the other Latin countries.

The US is basically the EU except we all speak the same language. It takes a whole 24 hours of nonstop driving to get from NYC to Miami
Eric G yeah but there's a difference between States meaning countries, and states inside a country. US is one country with 50 states and EU are many States each having states inside them. So US and EU are not in the same level of administrative divisions.
Trafle Drakel ofc I was only speaking about size

@Antonio Ceccon That's the thing, Texas and Alaska have a lot in common. Both conservative, hardy, self-made type people. There climates contrast greatly, but both attracted those type of adventurous people. Or at least in the past for Texas. it's pretty civilized now.

I know where history and military but the
thing I hate about virginia is the dang traffic like that's the what kinda makes me mad but overall virginia is a good state and I love living here
@@Musicmixer1366 Yes! Our roads are awful! Most aren’t maintained very well, and traffic is an issue. Other than that (and maybe a few other problems), this is a great state! 😊

Every state is basically its own country, geography and culture wise.
Meh, I think you can divide the US into 3 (maybe 4) significant culture changes.
Culture is something that forms in thousands of years... On own land. Poor red indians...
i think the opposite. most of the states are irrelevant and not important. and are the same of each other
@@Tech-cy9yo I argue 7 or 8 but I agree in principle with what you said. The only three states with truly unique cultures are probably Alaska, Hawaii and Louisiana. Everywhere else it's more a regional culture.
@@sourabhkadappa3274 in fact indians weren't really the owners of america continents, through most of human history we always move from one place to another, this is basic elementary school lesson.
Im from the US and I'm dying😂😂😂
I have never heard Ohio described so perfectly
Every state should get a mini video about them because the states are nothing alike from each other and we have a lot more than a 5-10 second explanation.
Agree!
at the very least the different regions. the midwest, the south, the northeast etc. a country as diverse and large as the US should have multiple videos.
Yes he needs to know that each state has something interesting in them.
**Cough Cough** Rhode Island **Cough Cough**
@@GameyGaming Agreed. I'm disappointed in his coverage of New England overall. He didn't even scratch the surface. The one he got most accurate was New Hampshire, but every state in NE is an "autumn wonderland " so that wasn't even unique to NH.
Emil if you take a closer look, each one has their own unique history, people, and styles.
"California's drunk girl freind"
"Las Vegas is like what keeps 80% of the state alive"
"Also we bury our nuclear waste there-ROCK ON NEVADA"
Seems legit.
yeah there is rock on nevada
Shhh it's not just the waste 🤫
Area 51 go brrr
Poor Nevada, the reason why there is so much waste and why we drop bombs there because most of the state is federal land so there is nothing stopping the government from trashing

Im from Scotland and wanna explore loads of the US. Want to see places like Yellowstone, that looks amazing. Forrests lakes and national parks with friendly people but also plenty bars and nightlife nearby is what im looking for :)
Both of you please so come! (When covids over) we would love to have you here! I'd love to also visit Scotland, any suggestions as to where to go it i took a trip?
I’d recommend going to California and Nevada. California has some great national parks like Yosemite and Las Vegas(which is in Nevada) has the best night life in the country. Also, those states border each other so you won’t spend much time flying or driving.
I would recommend Dallas great and awesome night life.
Just make sure you dont go to Alabama,Arkansas,Mississippi,West Virginia and around that area is really bad
@@matthewvalente474 why is it bad there? I literally have family down there?
6:45 Important fact about New York is that it's way more than just NYC. I've met quite a few tourists land in NYC hoping to visit Niagara Falls not realizing that is an 8 hour drive away.
Thank you. That part drove me NUTS.
Like, why tf did they make Albany its capital, who lives there? NYC has a lot more people
Barely more than NYC. Upstate is so boring
@@ilplolthereturn7525 you gotta put it somewhere, and the politics are already NYC centric enough without the actual proceedings being held there. Long Island and West NY have literally discussed secession and statehood due to this issue. States themselves have plenty of internal geopolitical conflict people are often unaware about if they aren’t from there. America is quite big
*talks about West Virginia*
*doesn’t mention Country Roads*
WHAT?
Did you know that that song is technically referring to western Virginia?

Seriously, how is America still a country? I mean how does it all hold together? I can't see how someone from California and someone from Wyoming could share the same cultural and national identity. This is really not a mean comment, I am just amazed. And as someone coming from a tiny little country it really amazes me how much diversity there is, I mean you can really find somewhere you can fit in with all those different states. Great video, thanks!
Just curious which country are you from?
I'm from Latvia.
I can only guess as an American that we're such a salad bowl of a country with so many things that we're just used to having so many different kinds of people. Most Americans alive today have grown up in circumstances where people from different backgrounds took part in their daily life. This is likely the case with other large countries, too, like Canada, Brazil, Russia, China, India, and perhaps Australia.
One of my university professors is Latvian. I"m learning all kinds of cool Latvian facts thanks to him.
America is a continent, not a country, is United States OF AMERICA, that belongs to the AMERICA landmass, next time say U.S. or U.S.A. or the complete name, not only America.
American states all feel like they are American first
Texans: yes, but no
I have to scroll so far to see my state on the list 😭
How could you not mention that Michigan and Ohio literally went to war with each other?

For people outside the US curious about Rhode Island, the island got it's name changed to Aquidneck Island. It was its own colony until it got merged with the Providence Plantations (which make up mode of the land). The state's full name is the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
Also it's kind of a running joke that everyone hates Rhode Island. It was founded by a guy who got exiled from Massachusetts. In 1643, a bunch colonies were coming together to defend against the Dutch and resolve internal disputes; Rhode Island applied to join and was unanimously rejected...even with the fear of war over people's heads.
Even though it was the first American colony to declare independence from the British, one of the delegates it had sent to a past congress was a British spy. Later, Rhode Island was the last of the 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution. When our first president George Washington did a tour around the country to celebrate his win, he refused to visit Rhode Island. In the 1840s, Rhode Island had a mini-Civil War where this guy declared himself governor, started losing, and then started recruiting people from New York.

Yep...literally focus on 10% of Michigan that went broke in the 70s...not like we have 2 pieces, some sand dunes, 3 or 4 huge lakes, a mitten shape, cool waterfalls, lots of nature, etc, etc...
As a Portland, OR resident (and native) I was worried about the commentary coming to Oregon, but you nailed it lol. Even nailed the crazy influx of transplants.
"It's also home to Fort Knox where we hide all our gold."
Dammit your not supposed to tell them that XD
Says West Virginia
COUNTY ROAAAAAAADS, TAKE ME HOMMMMMMMMME, TO THE PLACE, I BELOOOOOOOOOONNG
I go the horses in the back.
Never heard a more accurate description of Oregon in my life lol
Lol
my favorite state in us is texas much love from persia/iran
Love from the U.S. to Iran! Sadly our countries aren't on the best terms right now, but I've always wants to visit Iran, it's where my dad was born!
All he said about my state was "they have nothing going for them and family guy is there". Great, really great
What, are you going to deny it?
Actually, I'll extend an olive branch. Rhode Island has some of the greatest hot dogs I have ever tasted. But that's all I can say.
Detroit and Flint might have hit hard times but they don't represent the state of Michigan as a whole. We have craft beer brewing, tourism, natural resources, nature as a whole (lakes, forests, national/state parks, etc.) in addition to the auto industry. Also, Grand Rapids is one of the fastest growing cities in the country with one of the fastest growing job markets. And despite what people might think, downtown Detroit is actually making a comeback with a boom in businesses relocating there, all 4 major sports teams actually being in the city (instead of Pontiac or Auburn Hills), and a massive influx of recent college grads coming to the area.. Michigan might have had a rough decade or so, but it is far from a desolate wasteland.
Even metro Detroit has affluent neighborhoods. Having lived in Michigan for 5 years, you're right, the state has so much to offer more than Detroit itself.

I also hear that there was werewolf sightings in the forests of Michigan.
LOVE your channel, use many of your videos in our online content. It is absolutely fantastic, TOP VIDEOS. Thank you for making them all!

My state lol
Go to flagstaff and you’ll see snow in winter-
I live in the desert side tho
As a fellow Nevadan, I can 100% confirm that we’re like California’s drunk girlfriend and Las Vegas is pretty much the only thing we’ve got going for us
Pretty much. You have two pockets of populations that couldn’t be any farther apart or more different from each other and the rest is empty desert and government land. And possibly aliens.

Vegas is American arm pit.

Listen here, I'm a resident of Georgia and I'd like to correct a couple of things. One: The Confederacy started in South Carolina. Two: Little Miss Beauty Pagents, while still a thing, are quickly dieing out here in Georgia, much to everyone's pleasure.
Philip Lathrop I do too. I'm a proud Georgian, but people always bring up what happened in the past, of course.
+Hannah i think you guys should keep your southern identity! it's really charming(coming from an irish guy)loo
Watchin this video now when it was uploaded 5 years ago, then i realized it's 2022 now😭I'm still stuck in 2020 summer🥲missed this during quarantine😂💀
One cool thing I found when I had to drive through Nebraska a couple years ago was the Sand Hills. Looking to every horizon just hundreds of hills. It's very cool looking, looks like the Chocolate Hills of the Philippines. It's surreal and made me like Nebraska. I thought Nebraska would just be a clone of Kansas and I was glad I was wrong.
Yep people think Nebraska is very flat, and it is if you are in the area that I-80 goes through, but seeing the Sandhills are something else
For your non-US viewers, it'd have been more helpful if you did it with a map. I'm from India and had a little difficulty placing each state at their respective positions. Wonderful video though:)
Bro check the Pol map.
From India here
Indeed it would've.
It’s hard to list states in alphabetical order because they are nowhere near one another. It would be better to go from left to right or vice Versa! :)
That was my first thought too. As an American who watches Geography Now, I'm the type of person who knows the location of every U.S. state. But most Americans do not, and I wouldn't think international viewers would know many state locations apart from the most prominent ones.

Boo. I don't understand why they don't take a handful of those little Northeastern states and just make one regular sized State called New England. I mean if they are so small they have to share a football team, and other basic things that normal cities and states can support on their own, and they really need to gang together and be one regular sized state. They're too close together for there to be any significant difference between them. Of course I never would do that because every tiny piss ant State loves having their power in the Electoral College, so I guess large states like Texas and Kansas should split up into five or 6 so they can get proper representation for their regions, because the Northeast is extremely over-represented.
Dale Stafford Calm down
Woah cool, we're neighbors.
@@Jack_Stafford you're only thinking in terms of land mass. You're 100% ignorant about the history, culture, or hell, even the weather. We're not "piss ant" states. The southern states have high populations even. You are an ignorant bag of wind with a worthless opinion. Goodbye.
A helpful video. It's just wonderful to know something about every state.
Captions: Barbs was born in Minnesota (Usa)
South korea episode:Barbs:i was born in south korea
Me:
I'd love to see a geography now video of indigenous tribes here in the US and their flags!
Oklahoma: Looks like it’s going to be a sunny day!
Storms out of nowhere: Sike!
Oklahoma:🤦♂️🤦♀️
yep, and storms cause the power to go out, this is why there's a lantern sitting on my desk :P
I’m from Oklahoma
It’s even funnier cause it’s true
The storms we have far here would scare anyone else and we just think it’s normal and chill lol
Potato Crossing yeah but Texas/Kansas/Oklahoma region gets the most tornadoes every year considering we’re right in the middle of tornado alley.
8:24
We got the largest army of the US, made out of seafood
With the one about Arkansas, that's were most of my family for a couple generations is from, and I can confirm the love of dogs. That part of the family will just walk up to a dog, and it WILL love them. It's almost scary sometimes, but that might just be that most are either ex-soldiers, hillbillies, or legally a witch. We don't talk about the ones in Louisiana, or Alabama for that matter.
Also when my grandfather first moved to Texas from Alabama, they put him in special ed because of how his accent made him sound. This man now has a phd and just retired from working in the medical field for over forty years.
3:40 "Literally the flattest state" Me as a Dutch: "you ain't seen nothing yet"
Jesse Kuiper The flattest state is actually Florida not Kansas. But yeah still nothing compared to the Nederlands Lots of other errors in this video too.
Jesse Kuiper actually Florida is flatter than the Netherlands
well, both Kansas and florida are larger than netherlands by size though
i'm just waiting until we sink, lol
No, Florida and the Netherlands are lower than Kansas, but Kansas is flatter. I grew up there. It has almost no hills, just sprawling, golden and green plains with a couple of trees.
I demand a better summary of Michigan
GraySquared it's kinda very anti climatic cause you expect some great thing but you know about every thing he said.
He only described southern Louisiana. He didn't even touch on the north
He described notable things and what can't to mind first for a bullet point summary
Don't get mad at him because your state sucks
Stein are you mental? "Your state sucks" Michigan is easily the best state and most beautiful and unique state out there NO question lol idiot.
Stein what the crap is your problem? have you ever even been to Michigan or outside of Detroit or even in the U.P. you really need to come to Michigan and go outside and see the wonderful outdoors.
Hey now, Michigan’s not that bad! Weird weather from the lakes, the lakes themselves, and joking (usually) feuds between the UP and LP. And Mackinac Island!
The book Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls takes place in Oklahoma not Arkansas. It was the first book I read. It made me cry. It made my mom cry. It would have made my dad cry but, he didn't read it.
I’m from Oregon and yes we do have great donuts.
I know right , I love the donuts 🍩 here
Indiana: *punches Illinois*
Illinois: OW WHAT THE HELL
Indiana: *totally didn't steal Gary*
Illinois: INDIANA WTF!?
Indiana: WHATD'A GONNA DO ABOUT IT LOL
Ohio: *facepalms*
Ohio is kinda like the big brother 😂😂😂
@@crazylandis6286
Totally XD
Illinois brags about Chicago
OMG hello fellow hetalian
@@sage3454
Helloo
Yes it is I
Mochi America
Also, from Connecticut here & it's always funny to see how outsiders view. Being from the city, the image of suburbs, trees & nice neighborhoods is not what we associate with CT lol a lot of us only think of places like New Haven or Hartford when we think of what our home state is like
I think people always think of Manhattan and big cities when they think of NY but a lot of NY is rural and also Long Island is beaches and villages
People from Wisconsin are literally the nicest people. Indiana too, and Minnesota. The Midwest has a lot of friendly people.
WizardToby especially Chicago
Alex The Chicagoan mmmmm, from Illinois, I don't know about that
Admiral Doge yeah Illinois gets hated on hard here in Wisconsin. Maybe if they drove better
Admiral Doge Chicagoans are known for being friendly, down to earth people, and from my 25 years of experience, I can confirm
Alex The Chicagoan this guy is 25 from Chicago. Looks like we found the white guy.
Carolinas needs more love...
North Carolina, where Michael Jordan was born and raised and folks love their college hoops.
South Carolina, definitely has as much history as Pennsylvania or Virginia. Charleston was super important during the revolutionary war and is where the Civil War started.
Matt Harrell exactly tho
I was hoping he would mention the debate on the wright brothers
North Carolina were first in flight but the brother were born on Ohio
