“flag shaped yeah rectangle” best description ever😂
Ha Tennessee did that too
shes into it and so am i lmaoo
cake pops that’s the Northern Ireland flag
yep XD
Me in living in Swizerland : Bruh, the flag shape is a square NOT a rectangle.
“It has a confederate flag on it. Not a cute look.” Omg I love Mississippi lol
You could really see the pain on his face saying that. Love that dude tho
2:13
clicked on this video just because I knew that one was gonna be awkward lmao
Was wondering how this would go...
With all the historical purging they've been doing in the South, it's a wonder someone hasn't tried to change the state flag.
Video: Describe your state's flag
Mississippi: *Sweats nervously*
Yeah lets not get a person with a neutral outlook but a bias leftist liberal viewpoint. But that is the garbage that passes for education today. Bias teachers regurgitating propaganda. I'd be at least equally frightened of the Stars and Stripes since its the flag that has more baggage than the Confederate.

BEARS YES-
You're gonna see too many bears in NorCal-
1 BEAR.!!
Alaska: It's got a bunch of stars on it.
Those aren't just any random stars… they're the BIG DIPPER!
and the north star
Lol that’s what I said
THERE IS LITERALLY A SONG DESCRIBING THE FLAG, giving more details that just "oh it's a bunch of stars on blue."
Yeah I was disappointed she didn't name the constellation!
NY guy has never left the city.
So you would’ve known the NY state flag? As someone who lives in nyc the flag is everywhere so it’s easy to remember
@@bernardvonsimson5109 NY state flag has a lot going on on it. I think it's hard to describe it without looking at it. As well as the NYC flag.
I mean most state flags are godawful so I don't blame him for not knowing it, they're barely flown or present anywhere because they look like every other state flag and because they all suck
i dont blame him. as a chicagoan, we know the city flag way more than we know the state flag, and when i first saw the video title, i thought of the chicaho flag before i did the illinois flag
edit: watching thru, the illinois representative also made this mistake, and described the chicago flag, except there arent 6 stars
He’s annoying
Oregon dude is so pumped for his flag.
Ikr? He even got me pumped up about it. 🐹
I didn’t even know the Oregon flag was double-sided until watching this video. Well, now I know!
It's good and his pride is justified
You would too if you rocked a double side flag. The best flag
yeah we have the best flag
The Washington State flag is just a dollar bill.
Facts

I am a a washington person we get mixed up with DC it's anoying but nothing against them
@@sakuratree8163 this is my realistic money (canada) 💶
It's really easy, because all you have to remember is [George] Washington on the Seal, and it's the only state flag with a green backdrop.
Arizona guy is UNDERRATED
@wannyyydilliamsss Lol, so is the New Mexican guy.
1:06
I don’t like him at all
AZ has the best flag design, hands down. I'm not biased...
@@shelby4771 Colorado could be tied with Arizona
Let’s be real everyone waited for the maryland girl
Edit: I never got so many likes
Also she is not wrong. She said the flag is colorful like her outfit. Both only have a few colors.
She's always fun to watch. I like her
Yep
Maryland flag is by far the coolest lol. But she always answers the questions soooo wrong lol. She said Baltimore is known for gumbo🤔🤔🤔🤭🤭.
Shhhh shes self aware remember?
“It’s got a bEAr on It.”
“*OnE BeAR*”

The Last Of Us is here.
Nooooo
It got da beairs on it! 😀
We love this Louisiana rep. Keep him for every question.
YESSSS
how anyone can even describe maryland flag?!
It's red, white, gold, and black, and it's a combination of two family crests. Any marylander should be able to tell you at least that much
i'd say "an eyesore" and my state would be "nepal knockoff"
Ellie Smith or they could at least say we put it on everything, like our old bat
Bay
sleepy dumdum
Ohio, I presume?
Us Texans have such a big ego there’s a Texas flag everywhere😂
I've noticed that y'all sing alot of songs ABOUT Texas at karaoke too!!
Yes, when I clicked this I knew if anyone knew what their flag looked like, it was going to be the Texas person.
InsanityJoe87 it’s the best state, hard not to brag,, 💅
The same is true for we Californians.
Killercroissants not to start a war or anything but California < Texas in every way 🤠
how dare the Ohio rep not mention how we’re the only state that doesn’t have a rectangular flag.... the ONE time Ohio does something different 😂
No you aren’t Rhode Island has a square flag!
Headrick you lie
No look it up 😂
its almost a square, but not a perfect square. So...ur still wrong
Just out of curiosity did you look it up?
I love the Alabama guy! There have only been a few of these where he was a little off. I love the Treasure Map description!
Both the Alabama representatives have been very good. Before him, it was a red haired lady.
@@AGJ117 yeah. She was super knowledgeable. I like his style a little better, but both have been great representatives!
The ginge was terrible, this guy is alright by comparison but not exactly great. Makes sense though because Alabama ain't sending their best and brightest to NYC.
This video made me realize Florida basically took Alabama’s exact state flag and stuck their state seal in the middle. And that’s it.
Alabama guy is cool but I can’t believe he doesn’t even know about the civil war
michigan: in depth story telling california: *ITS GOT THE BEARS ON IT*
haaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaa
remember that its only 1 bear
Colorado flag is so great that you find merch EVERYWHERE with it here. Socks, shirts, stickers, you name it!
Colorado, California, Maryland, and Texas all have great flags, the rest are all mistakes. Actually New Mexico and Arizona’s flags aren’t bad either.
It looks like a logo
@@char5285 which is good for socks, shirts, stickers, you name it
It works as a logo and has a modern feel to it. 10/10
It's impossible to live in colorado and not know what the flag looks like
mississippi guy is adorable
He's one of my faves 😂
Grace same they best never get rid of him
Me: none of the representatives can get the flags wrong
The representatives: 👁👄👁
Blluuueeee
The Arkansas representative actually made me proud for once.
Maryland takes great pride in its flag and we slap it on just about anything we can think of. How is she not be able to describe it!
omg i know!!! literally any athlete will have tons of maryland sports wear because our state loves to just slap it on EVEERYTHING!
It really don't make no sense whatsoever!
i mean as a fellow marylander who also has lots of maryland pride... she honestly wasnt wrong
lets be honest our flag is very colorful
Iowa ladie messed up so bad, its an eagle with a ribbon in its mouth and she said a rose??!!!???
For once I can't really argue with the Maryland girl
funghazi I for sureeee can. I roll my eyes and gag every video
She didn't try to describe it at all though! Aghhh Could've at least said the four colors. Marylanders take so much pride in our flag, and she didn't show it at all :((
Yeah TBF her outfit looked like the Maryland flag
Daria
Mad schaef
We do take a lot of pride in our flag😂 In elementary school they would drill Maryland facts into us for like 2 weeks each year
To all the states with seals and text on y’all’s flags...They’re terrible and y’all failed at designing a proper flag. 😂
I think Virginia did a good job with their state flag. It has a seal and text on it, but the text is in Latin and there’s a woman standing on top of a dead man.
OKLAHOMA 😂😂😂
What's telling is almost none of those residents really know how their flags look. A state seal has its place. The flag is not one of those places.
@@MaggieKidd You forgot to mention her boob is out. It is by far the best flag.
VA’s flag is hard af
The Maryland flag is a huge part of our culture. You can get it on anything. Shorts, hats, lanyards, coasters, guitar straps, masks and anything else. We love it because of how unique it is.
And it's so ugly

HAHA the Illinois lady described the Chicago flag not the Illinois flag
George Alexandrakis
lmao
And she got that wrong!
4 stars, not 6. Just ask any hipster in Wicker Park, they all have them tattooed somewhere.
Even then, the Chicago flag only has 4, six-point stars on it
Chicago has a flag?
As a Coloradan, our flag is SUCH a big deal here 😂 everywhere you go you see the flag, which I think is pretty amazing
Oh my god Illinois lady, messed up Illinois and then messed up Chicago.
Rei Freireich I know, thought the same thing
She disappoints me every time
Emily Macy same like how hard is it to mess up the flag of Illinois? It’s literally white 😂
@SLAMO most people who NEVER been to Illinois only think of Chicago, not realizing that there is more to Illinois than Chicago.
Emily Macy EVERY time 🙄
The Hawaiian flag actually has more meaning than just the Union Jack smh
So shame!!!!
This tita needs to go. Anyone born or raised on the ‘āina knows all about the flag and why it looks the way it does.
Right!! It has a historical and meaningful story to it
@SLAMO Hawai'i was an independent kingdom for a long time, and therefore was not even a part of the USA when they were being oppressed by the British. We were actually diplomatic allies with Great Britain. Capt Vancouver presented our king with a union jack when he came to Hawai'i as a symbol of friendship between the two nations and that is why it was incorporated into our flag
@SLAMO Actually the USA was Hawaii's imperial oppressors and the Hawaii chose to put the British flag on their without Britain being telling them too 🙄
The Mississippi guy should of said “you know the one”
Well thank god the flag changed last year. Bye bye "that", hello magnolia.
Wow. New York guy realized there is a state and not just the city.
To be fair, it's really the mentality of the Downstate and Upstate. We don't like to acknowledge each other's existence. Not only do we have a state and city flag, but each of the five boroughs have a flag too.
@@sukhmanisreadingcorner6811 Eh I disagree. Upstate regularly acknowledges the city, and just asks that people recognize that are MULTIPLE other cities upstate. The City the state as if there's nothing else out there.
The NY state flag has the cost of arms, and it says “Excelsior” which I’m pretty sure is the only word out governor knows because he says it literally ALL THE TIME
0:40 Ironically Georgia’s flag is the old/first confederate flag just with the Georgia seal in it, not the American (USA) flag...
@Sam Darby same with Florida
Look up the 2004 georgia flag refrendum and the 2001-2003 georgia flag. It was a monstrosity
As a Georgia resident, you are correct.
0:38
That's not Ironic
The Tennessee girl describing their flag had me dead!!! 😂
If the Texas person were to get the flag wrong I would delete UA-cam 😭😭🤣
Don’t mind me, I’m just here to see if the California guy and the Maryland girl miss up again.
What's with the Californian guy? I can understand the Maryland girl, but what's with Cali?
Whats wrong with cali guy??? EVERYTHING
@I love Angelique how does that bother you?
@@yopassthebarbecuesauceform7677 wdym??? I don't get it, tell me some decent examples

Be honest: You never saw all 50 flags until now
I have xD 😂🤚
No I'm sure most people have seen most of them. Just a you problem
Kinda yes and kinda no because all the boring flags which are just the state seal on a blue field exist
Who else loved how excited Tennessee girl is about anything Tennessee. Great state ambassador.

When Maryland said it’s colorful I didn’t think she knew what she was talking about cause it’s colors are only red and yellow. But then she said like her outfit and it was actually similar so I’ll give her points cause that flag looks hard to describe!
The maryland flag is the easiest to describe it's has 4 sections, the colors are black yellow red and white it has black and yellow checker design in upper left and bottom right and red and white crosses in the upper right and bottom left.
@@conniecakes06 Thank you. It is flown everywhere in Maryland, people wear it. It's everywhere
@@conniecakes06 it may be easy for you to describe but not for all tho
@@chris_the_heartbeat_lover.1994 it's the most unique state flag and best state flag considering the design in my opinion!
Honestly when you see Alabama's flag and weren't expecting it it looks like the picture didn't load.
Coloradans love their flag it’s everywhere here
Can’t deny it’s a nice design same with New Mexico’s
I grew up in Texas and it's astonishing to me that ppl don't know what their flags look like. We can't walk down the street two blocks without seeing our flag lol
Good for Ms. Michigan! She came up with a translation of the state motto!
Love Oregon's excitement for our flag. Definitely did a fist pump when he remembered the flag is double-sided!
LMAO illinois 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 me an my cat done crackin up
The Illinois girl was describing the Chicago flag
Ugh, she’s the worst
Thankful for the solid New Mexico reps in this series ✊
can we talk about how the Kansas girl is always spot on
A REQUIREMENT of growing up in Colorado is that when you move into your first apartment, you MUST put up a giant CO flag in the living room 😂
The mississippi guy is by far the most representative of his state on here
+ Utah, Colorado and Wyoming
Edit: and also the NM lady in some of these
Edit: + old Vermont guy
Uh.....no. As a Mississippian I can say he does not. 65% want to keep the flag and find it "cute" enough.
Joseph Rudder 65% is exaggerating it’s more like 55%
@@marquisestowers733 No its 65%. Don't buy into these left wing "polls". Who do they poll?
Joseph Rudder What percentage of mississippians get sarcasm?
It’s so sad some people don’t know what their own flag is...
How is it sad
How is that sad. It’s not common at all. If it is the state Capital, then I understand.
Well our flag is ugly and badly designed so
Neuro September So it doesn’t that matter. It’s your flag, it’s unique. I can’t believe that old people don’t know what their flag is.
Yeah it's embarrassing

Dumb as a bag of hair.

Agreed!
This vid made me laugh harder than all the other vids in this series. I loved LA (1:42), AL (2:07), IL (2:43), VA (4:02), and WA (4:38).
Also, MD girl wasn't too far off about the colors, lol. I also think this was the first time ND was stumped. And what's with the number 9???
In South Carolina, the state flag is on EVERYTHING. Shirts, hats, coolers, you name it. We even have a popular store chain called Palmetto Moon (referencing the flag). It’s a cute flag and we love our palmetto trees.
Cmon South Carolina, it’s a Palmetto tree !
Madhouse I think he did good. Most people think that palm is short for palmetto anyway.
ok i’m form maryland and we are so proud of our flag. we literately put it on everything. you can’t be a marylander and not own a piece of clothing with the flag on it. it surprises me that some people don’t know what our flag looks like.
I just love how passionate the Tennessee girl is. She cracks me up!
Before yall start crying about the maryland girl again: if you look at her outfit, she is actually right!
Technically, her outfit is only off by one color. That said, “it’s colorful” is misleading. The flag is four colors and the fact she didn’t even list them is disappointing. Honestly tho, describing the state flag without knowing 17th century coat of arms & blazon terminology is challenging.
Wrong. The answer was awful. If you knew what a big deal the flag was in MD, you'd realize this. It's literally everywhere. On baby onsies, bumperstickers, every kind of merch you can think of.
Οh jfc for some comments right here... Agreed though
The Kansas girl is always right on the money. Way to represent.
"its not a cute look" I CANNOT BReATH
OMG RHODA, I didn’t know I was going to be so happy to see her in another video!!!!
i love the colorado guy for some reason, he’s so chill
Utah:”It has an eagle on it.”
*sighs so hard that the representative of Utah gets thrown all the way to Russia*
Legit, Utah is one of the only states to reference the object on their flag allll the time. smh
Dude, New Mexico guy continues to kill it! ❤
1:07 The star is actually more a copper color since it represents how AZ produces the most copper out of any state.
Anyone in Maryland would know vividly what the flag looks like because we put it on everything! Literally!
Arizona has the prettiest flag and I love it.
I feel bad for Marylanders; what's about an 'E' for effort - can it be assumed she got 3 of the 4 colors of the flag?
She should've at least listed all the colors, Marylanders wear the flag pattern all the time. It was disappointing to not see her do more with that description
@@maddieschaefer4068 I'm so tired of it at this point, to mess up on our flag like that. Smh!
Wow. Lots of redemptions here. Loved Maryland’s description. It’s colorful.... just like my outfit. 😂love it.
Well yeah, but besides that! It's like asking someone to describe a rainbow it's colorful. No duh but, specifically?
@@conniecakes06 technically she is correct because colorful means having a lot of colors. MD's flag has 4 so it's technically colorful
I like the enthusiasm of the Cali dude!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 🌊 🌊 ☀️ ☀️ 🌴🌴
Poor Mississippi
A random 5 Year old who learned the California flag and that dude: IT'S GOT THE BEARS ON IT!
I moved to Oregon as a teenager. I watched because I wanted to know more as I can only think of the color being blue and some kind of state seal in yellow. I didn’t know it had a back side to it and that it has a 🦫 on it. Sweet!
[In Stefon's voice]: This flag has everything ...
I love how the Delaware rep roasts her own State every Time😂😂
Yeah, she's lying the flag is on all the government buildings, there is no way she's never seen it
Minnesota rep just said the Vikings would suffice for our flag and I have never been so offended by something, but agreed with it just as much
Massachusetts was probably thinking of the naval and maritime variation of the flag which is a green pine tree on a white background.
that makes sense, I was getting all annoyed at her.. I thought the emblem was so obvious.. and then I googled about the tree lol.
1:36 she's chill
2:33 the classiest
3:14 anime eyes
everyone seems so interesting.
Half of the states just gotta say that it's blue with their seal on it, it's that simple
Bruh they really need to start reading these comments and getting rid of the Maryland girl
Facts this was a f'ing disgrace for this question! Someone mail her a maryland flag everyday for the rest of her life. She must've failed every test on maryland history in school!
Fact you are rasim
Sorry I spelled it wrong
When you are 31 You spell stuff wrong
2:50 .... Y'know... She's pretty spot on, actually. :o
when the maryland girl said the flag is like her outfit, and it actually kinda matches 😂
It took me till today to realize I have never seen any other state flag but my own
Tennesee: “okay so its a rectangle. And it’s red. And it has a circle in the middle”
California: “it’s got the bears on it!!..one bear”
Get one haole to explain the Hawai’i state flag. Great job, guys!
The North Carolina state flag has two dates on it. May 20, 1775 for the Mecklenburg Declaration of independence and April 12, 1776 for the Halifax Resolves. Which also appear on the state seal with the phrase "Esse quam videri" which means "To be, rather than to seem".
I love the Washington guy you can just tell he’s a homie
Taylor T. 🙌🏼 Thanks 🙌🏼
Woot-WOOT!

Yep he's solid!
i watched the entire video just for the maryland girl to say "it's colorful"
Exactly no s#!+ and what colors are there? She answered the question like a toddler.
Virginia's flag cracks me up the most!!! LMAO
Omg! How adorable is the Mississippi guy looking disappointed hahaha
The best ones are NM and AZ
and colorado😌
Jeremiah Levy Colorado is decent, I just find the c really out of place
I like the Rhode Island and South Carolina flags

2:18 "It's not a cute look" I'M WEAK 😂
I was going to be so mad if Oregon didn’t say that😂
Word to everyone repping the State of New York: *_There are cities there OTHER than the Big Apple!_*
If you ever come to Maryland expect to see our flag EVERYWHERE. Our license plates, keychains, cups, hats, bumber stickers, on random merch inside grocery stores😂😂
@Conde Nast Traveler, I recommend a next video for you. What happens if every state knows their PBS Public Television Stations.😀
