Ok but the number of times I've been outside of New York and said "oh I'm from NY" and people go "oh? What's it like in the city?" And I then have to explain "not that NY" 😂
Yeah similar problem here but not the same one. I’m from Washington state. Every damned time I leave WA and say where I’m from, people ask me what D.C. is like. Then I have to explain that I’m from a small, generally damp, port town with a bunch of artists, farmers and fisherfolk. This wouldn’t be so annoying if it didn’t happen every single time I forget to tack on the word ‘state’.
It's funny when I say I'm from NY and people are shocked that I've never been to the city. It's a 6 hour drive from my hometown. It would be faster for me to visit Vermont.
@@matthewhaggar The word state is pretty important in your case. Kind of like if someone forgot to put "New" in front of Mexico. It turns into a whole other deal.
That's really what people Upstate call us? That's hilarious. We just say "people upstate" for you guys and then gesture in the direction we assume is north (but probably isn't). If you're by Canton or close, it's "f*cking Canada"
@@comicaltuber It's mainly as a commentary that the people downstate (NYC, LI and it's suburbs) end making all the decisions and they are (mostly) decisions that the people Upstate would not have made/do not like but have to suffer with anyway.
Them: "I like your accent, where are you from?" Me: "NY" Them: "the city?" Me: "Nah, Rochester, NY. Its the Finger Lakes region." Them: "Oh, that's next to Buffalo. The Bills suck." Me: "I...don't watch football, but ok?"
Jeez I was confused for a solid minute until I remembered most people you are Americans. I couldn't figure out what the hell happened on the 6th of April
As someone who does live in "western NY" you hit this spot on. We just tend to say people from NYC are from the city and usually, it's with an eye roll. Good job though, you never disappoint!
I've learned "from the city" is the polite, tongue biting way of saying it. My City-To-Florida friend got cocky about it and eventually I started just calling him a city rat.
Way to go, Mr. Brainard! Even through travel, exhaustion, and a little bit of guilt, you still turned in an awesome video that made me laugh out loud. I second Florida’s motion. Cannot WAIT for his turn. As a “Native Floridian”, I have a few suggestions myself. 😏😁😆😂
So hey which is your fav Billy Joel album? I'm really into Glass Houses, but Storm Front has a special place in my heart since it was released on my birth year
Every convo I have with some out of state Them: where are you from? Me: New York Them: oh the city Me: no upstate just outside Albany, the capital Them: oh I thought nyc was the capital... must be pretty rural up there Me : in some parts but not where I live. Just normal suburbs.. Pretty much people think it’s either nyc or a farm lol... I’ve also switched to saying Saratoga as it seems more out of staters are familer with that.. if I’m on the phone I like to mess with them and tell them Schenectady and laugh as they struggle to spell and say it..
When I went to the baseball HOF, I told everybody how pretty everything was on my trip to New York & all the replies were about how great the city was (NYC, not Cooperstown)
Yeah, listening to out-of-staters try to pronouce our city and village names is funny. Try it, here's a few for the internet to try: Coxsackie, Poughkeepsie, Canajoharie, Canandaigua, Skaneateles, Chatauqua.
I got that when I went to college, in NY! Granted I went to a large, well known school that had people from around the country attending. But still, we were _in_ rural NY and they still assumed I came from the city.
I’ve lived in the capital region 16 years. One of my closest friends is from schenectedy. I still cannot figure out how to spell it And forget about Scaticoke? Schatighoke? There’s a g in there somewhere
As a kid from Brooklyn, this is 100% accurate. And if your talking to people from your borough, town, city whatever, state your neighborhood and their slogan. I’ll start: Bed Stuy till I die, baby
Here in Upstate/Central/Western/Eastern/Adirondacks/St Lawrence river NY we have different but similar accents. Mostly those in Eastern NY borrowed theirs from Massachusetts
It's mostly people from Manhattan that say they're New Yorkers. Others will vary. Brooklyn and Staten Islands will say their boroughs. Bronx and Queens can go either way
Queens acts like every neighborhood is its own city. But Brooklyn is Brooklyn. Da Bronx is da Bronx. Manhattan is The City. And Staten Island wishes they weren't apart of any of this. Manhattan just kinda illegally annexed all of us in 1898 because they were butthurt they weren't the biggest city anymore.
my education specialist introduced me to you and can i say there’s a reason she’s the education specialist of my fostercare agency LMAOOO this is gold, love from Brooklyn, NY. Did I mention I was from brooklyn?
for me it was because: Where you from? Me New York. Them: Hey do you know my cousin in Brooklyn? Me no you don't understand, NY is more than a big ass city. So now I just say I'm from Central NY to anyone not from NYC. To people from NYC I tell them Upstate.
As someone from new York this is 100% truth. You go anywhere outside of the state you have to stay the area (western here) then the closest big city (Buffalo) then they just stare at you like there is area outside the city.
As a NYC Native, I didn't realize I do that until watching this! Like, when people hear my accent and ask where I'm from, I don't say "New York" or even "New York City", I just say "Oh, I'm from Brooklyn."
I feel like it's probably like this in every state. Louisiana got Cajun and Creole (and no, its not what people it is) as well as North Louisiana vs South Louisiana.
Yes! Absolutely! Except we have lots more regions! The North Country (Northern NY), Western NY, the Finger Lakes, Central NY, the Southern Tier, the Capital Region, etc. The only people who use the term Upstate are people from NYC when taking about anything north of Poughkeepsie. Thanks for showing some love to the rest of my home state!
Living overseas, answering "Where are you from?" Local / non-American expat: "Boston" (I lived in the Boston area before I moved) American expat (not from NY): "Upstate NY" Expat from NY: "Capital District" I met someone who lived one town over from me that way.
This was awesome !!! I’m from Long Island and we consider everything north of Manhattan as”Upstate” also you live “on” Long Island but live “in”one of the boroughs that’s just the way it is also I’ve learned after a few Long Island iced teas everyone sounds and acts like a typical long islander anyway . Thanks for the quality content gonna go back and watch all you stuff!

I'm an islander can confirm we refer to ourselves as long islanders. Also I love new York's you est lead thats the most aggressive hes been and hes not even angry.
I’m originally from Newark, NJ. But if you ask, I’m from Vailsburg. Now I live in Central Florida in unincorporated Seminole County. . But if you ask, I’m from Apopka which is a few miles away but not even in the same county.
Oh yeah NY is in the right on that front. I'm from NY but for the longest time I said that I'm from Long Island. Hell I even did it during Basic training when the Drill Sgt was asking what state we're from. He comes up to me and says "What state are you from Hammond." I answered with "Long Is- New York Drill Sgt." He looks at me and says "So wait you're from Montana?" / "No Drill Sgt I'm from New York." / "You sure?" / "Yes Drill Sgt" and he just went to the other guy after that. Man thought that I had a stutter for a few days after that. Cause I stopped mid sentence. No offense to the rest of the country but no one from outside New York knows where Long Island is. Most just assume I'm from the City when I say I'm from New York or give me a weird look when I say I'm from Long Island.
People from New York _do_ seem extremely intent on telling everyone what borough they’re from Thinking of that line in In The Heights when the one character goes “But I just say I’m from Queens!”
I can attest to this, I’ve lived in a few cities in NY and if you don’t go by the region, you go by the Area Code….or county , or town…or city, or small borough if the city. It gets confusing but it isn’t not helpful. For example, I was, and am again for better or worse, a 315er. It’s a big ol area that’s kinda the Florida of NY in a way. I mean it’s lovely but you see more cattle and broken down yard cars than people in a good portion of it. As long as you don’t mind the stank from the canal there’s some cute towns but it’s mostly corn and cow shit.
California is easy we refer to ourselves by the half of the state we are from. Northern Californian pretends that Southern California (So. Cal if you want to bait them) is another state. Southern California tries to pretend Holywood is everything or Trump is still president.
Someone: Oh! Where you from? Me: I’m a Hoosier Someone: Uh...? Me: I’m from Indiana, the Hoosier State. Someone: What’s that mean? Me: Nobody really knows. It’s kinda silly. Someone: Yeah, it sounds really stupid. Me: the FUCK you just say?
I live in North Carolina after living in New York my whole life. If I just say I’m from New York people assume the city and it makes conversation confusing when people find out I was on a farm and people say “wait… there are farms in New York?” “I’m not from the city” is my reply And then THEY respond “OH”
Panhandle of Florida is Lower Alabama. Like all the shit you hear about Alabama, but Florida-manned, plus military from all over and snowbirds around the touristy beaches. There was a Walmart where the guns were loosely tied to the shelf. Not behind a counter, behind glass, behind an employee. And the ammo was out freeballing on the same aisle. < Central Alabamian that lived in the Florida panhandle for a while, and miss it in a weird way. But that Walmart was still weird lol.
Bruh I had to relearn NY geography just to understand where all my friends were from when I went college. As someone from "the city" its all upstate to me.
Can confirm. I don't say I'm from the city, but from my borough. And I consider anything past New Rochelle upstate. Anything past Albany is basically Canada.
Virginia: There's Northern VA and everyone else. Far Southwest VA occasionally gets a special mention, but only if you go deep enough in to find a resident or prisoner.
As someone who has lived in the North Country and NYC Metro, this is incredibly accurate. And don’t tell anyone from the North Country or Adirondacks that someone from anywhere else in the state is “Upstate” because they will pull out their maps (might be drawn since cell service is often lacking) and show you on a map on how incredibly wrong you are. Downstate is more or less any county subjected to MTA taxes (and they will rightfully complain, especially Orange, Rockland, Dutchess, and Putnam counties) on how absurd those taxes are, especially considering how expensive Metro North is. Two of those counties don’t even get a vote on what the MTA does despite it affecting them both in traffic and financially and the state sets the MTA taxes at an mathematically ridiculous 3/8%. Within downstate, you have the 5 boroughs (which 3 have separate county names), Long Island, and the Hudson Valley. New Yorkers is for dealing with out of state people not familiar with NYS regions. I can understand how people not from here think everyone is from the city given more than half of the state lives in the 12 downstate counties and the highest population growth is in the northern suburbs (despite what everyone claims, New York’s population is still rising). How specific we get is all determined by who we are talking to.
Let's not forget that in NYC, we even have ethnic pride for our neighborhood. We won't just say what borough we're from, we'll be specific about where in that borough we are (I'm in Borough Park; I'm from Harlem; I'm coming to Riverdale."
People from Florida, as in born and raised their are called Unicorns, because that's how rare they are. Also, it's cute that New York thinks it could win in a gun fight with Florida.
2nd generation Floridian. We used to be white tigers, rare but not impossible to find. These days unicorn is a better fit. I even met a 7th generation Conch once, now that's really rare.
I say I'm from Florida and I get one of 3 reactions. "Are you okay" and a concerned look, "Did you go to Disney a lot" or "I went there on vacation and it rained every day".
We break this down even further into neighborhoods and sometimes even streets.. Queens- where abouts Flushing off Kissena on Ash Ave. For example or little Italy, the village, hunts point, bed stuy, Jamaica, crown hights, gun hill, 125th street, The bowery and a 100 others
I’m from Rochester, and it pisses me off that everyone from everywhere says either A) “how’s the big city?” (Common) or B) “I thought you said you’re in New York?” (Uncommon, because only some people confuse Rochester, MI with Rochester, NY.) I live in the shittiest city in the state, and we used to be great, I would at least like some recognition for the fact that this dumpster fire still exists and people still live in it. I mean, people don’t even remember how during the Cold War before I was born it wasn’t NYC that was on the target list, it was us because we had so much chemical manufacturing from our cameras being diverted to the military (we are the birthplace of Kodak. Now Kodak is basically dead, so everyone lost everything, but we made everything here, from the Brownie on, including the film and chemicals for it.) We were on the top 10, actually. We were actually kinda important. My old middle school was an old bomb shelter, actually, still had the sign up. But no one remembers what we used to be, or knows what we’ve become and tries to help (we’re more hospitals and self-storage at this point than city, because so much business has died. I joke that NYC is going to store all their shit here when we’re gone, like a giant self-storage unit for the city. Pretty sad.) Crime and slums are everywhere, we keep having incidents with our police as I’m sure you’ve heard multiple times. I wish they could at least get the idea that the whole state is one giant city out of their heads, but that probably will never happen. I am planning to move when I’m able, to get out of this dump, FYI. I just don’t know where. Either to NYC, Orlando, California or freaking Canada if I really need to get away. I’m not getting into it all, but my life’s been hell here, especially with my family, so once I get my autism benefits sorted out, I’m getting the f*ck out of dodge.
It would be funny to see the states react to other states weird and outdates laws. Like in Canton, Ohio you only have an hour to report your missing tiger to authorities.
watched the live last night while you filmed this! It was so interesting to see the process! Any chance we could get NC "bless your heart" merch sometime?

I can attest to this, I’ve lived in a few cities in NY and if you don’t go by the region, you go by the Area Code….or county , or town…or city, or small borough if the city. It gets confusing but it isn’t not helpful. For example, I was, and am again for better or worse, a 315er. It’s a big ol area that’s kinda the Florida of NY in a way. I mean it’s lovely but you see more cattle and broken down yard cars than people in a good portion of it. As long as you don’t mind the stank from the canal there’s some cute towns but it’s mostly corn and cow shit.
Gotta love the 315
As someone from the Capital Region, I approve of this message.. I don't want to be called a New Yorker... they can stay down there ;)
Well u can stay up there too
@@Ra_the_Sun_god 😂😂
We're happy here
I’m actually excited to see what you say about California and Illinois and all them
California is easy we refer to ourselves by the half of the state we are from. Northern Californian pretends that Southern California (So. Cal if you want to bait them) is another state. Southern California tries to pretend Holywood is everything or Trump is still president.
WNYer who explains that Buffalo is closer to Canada than Manhattan, which is 9 hours away. Very few people realize how large NYS is.
This is true!! When I was asking what state people where from when the answered an ad, I would get Queens, Bronxs etc etc.
as a brooklynite, 10/10 accurate and I cackled.
Yep, nailed it. Especially the borough thing and county/region identifier.
Someone: Oh! Where you from?
Me: I’m a Hoosier
Someone: Uh...?
Me: I’m from Indiana, the Hoosier State.
Someone: What’s that mean?
Me: Nobody really knows. It’s kinda silly.
Someone: Yeah, it sounds really stupid.
Me: the FUCK you just say?
Do Florida next! I GOTTA see this!
I'm excited to see Michigan do this. I'm curious about Gov's reaction to 'yuppers' and 'trolls'
I live in North Carolina after living in New York my whole life. If I just say I’m from New York people assume the city and it makes conversation confusing when people find out I was on a farm and people say “wait… there are farms in New York?”
“I’m not from the city” is my reply
And then THEY respond “OH”
Can we appreciate the fact that when New York got out his gun, he kept his finger off the trigger? Safety!
I go airsoft shooting against wall targets, and I still dont put my finger on the trigger till Im gonna shoot.
florida man doesn't name himself florida man, just everyone around him proclaims him such, citizenship and all.
Haha this is so true. Everyone refers to their county generally. Westchester representin! 🤘
Looking forward to seeing an attempted explanation for Hoosiers.
Panhandle of Florida is Lower Alabama. Like all the shit you hear about Alabama, but Florida-manned, plus military from all over and snowbirds around the touristy beaches.
There was a Walmart where the guns were loosely tied to the shelf. Not behind a counter, behind glass, behind an employee. And the ammo was out freeballing on the same aisle.
< Central Alabamian that lived in the Florida panhandle for a while, and miss it in a weird way. But that Walmart was still weird lol.
Bruh I had to relearn NY geography just to understand where all my friends were from when I went college. As someone from "the city" its all upstate to me.
This might become my new favorite series
Ben I gotta say I love your laugh. Every time I hear it I laugh
Can confirm. I don't say I'm from the city, but from my borough. And I consider anything past New Rochelle upstate. Anything past Albany is basically Canada.
I'm from Albany, NY if I'm talking with other people from the area I say I'm an Ablanite, if not just upstate
New York be like how about lead.
FL be like I eat faces 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Virginia:
There's Northern VA and everyone else.
Far Southwest VA occasionally gets a special mention, but only if you go deep enough in to find a resident or prisoner.
I second this. You have NoVa, and everyone else is kinda...eh. Except Hampton Roads region, they get wild.
I'm gonna really love this series.
Outstanding work Ben.
You should do Iowa. We describe the general area we're from by asking people if they know where certain towns are
As someone who has lived in the North Country and NYC Metro, this is incredibly accurate. And don’t tell anyone from the North Country or Adirondacks that someone from anywhere else in the state is “Upstate” because they will pull out their maps (might be drawn since cell service is often lacking) and show you on a map on how incredibly wrong you are.
Downstate is more or less any county subjected to MTA taxes (and they will rightfully complain, especially Orange, Rockland, Dutchess, and Putnam counties) on how absurd those taxes are, especially considering how expensive Metro North is. Two of those counties don’t even get a vote on what the MTA does despite it affecting them both in traffic and financially and the state sets the MTA taxes at an mathematically ridiculous 3/8%. Within downstate, you have the 5 boroughs (which 3 have separate county names), Long Island, and the Hudson Valley.
New Yorkers is for dealing with out of state people not familiar with NYS regions.
I can understand how people not from here think everyone is from the city given more than half of the state lives in the 12 downstate counties and the highest population growth is in the northern suburbs (despite what everyone claims, New York’s population is still rising).
How specific we get is all determined by who we are talking to.
Let's not forget that in NYC, we even have ethnic pride for our neighborhood. We won't just say what borough we're from, we'll be specific about where in that borough we are (I'm in Borough Park; I'm from Harlem; I'm coming to Riverdale."
Just remember, we are ON Long Island
People from Florida, as in born and raised their are called Unicorns, because that's how rare they are.
Also, it's cute that New York thinks it could win in a gun fight with Florida.
2nd generation Floridian. We used to be white tigers, rare but not impossible to find. These days unicorn is a better fit. I even met a 7th generation Conch once, now that's really rare.
We can and history proves we did.
I say I'm from Florida and I get one of 3 reactions. "Are you okay" and a concerned look, "Did you go to Disney a lot" or "I went there on vacation and it rained every day".
We break this down even further into neighborhoods and sometimes even streets.. Queens- where abouts Flushing off Kissena on Ash Ave. For example or little Italy, the village, hunts point, bed stuy, Jamaica, crown hights, gun hill, 125th street, The bowery and a 100 others
The Georgia vs. (metro)Atlanta debate would be a fun one for this
I'm from UPSTATE New York, there is a major difference.
Lol this vid predicted it. As someone from Queens I agree, upstate NY is a whole different state by comparison.
I’m from Rochester, and it pisses me off that everyone from everywhere says either A) “how’s the big city?” (Common) or B) “I thought you said you’re in New York?” (Uncommon, because only some people confuse Rochester, MI with Rochester, NY.) I live in the shittiest city in the state, and we used to be great, I would at least like some recognition for the fact that this dumpster fire still exists and people still live in it.
I mean, people don’t even remember how during the Cold War before I was born it wasn’t NYC that was on the target list, it was us because we had so much chemical manufacturing from our cameras being diverted to the military (we are the birthplace of Kodak. Now Kodak is basically dead, so everyone lost everything, but we made everything here, from the Brownie on, including the film and chemicals for it.) We were on the top 10, actually. We were actually kinda important. My old middle school was an old bomb shelter, actually, still had the sign up.
But no one remembers what we used to be, or knows what we’ve become and tries to help (we’re more hospitals and self-storage at this point than city, because so much business has died. I joke that NYC is going to store all their shit here when we’re gone, like a giant self-storage unit for the city. Pretty sad.) Crime and slums are everywhere, we keep having incidents with our police as I’m sure you’ve heard multiple times. I wish they could at least get the idea that the whole state is one giant city out of their heads, but that probably will never happen.
I am planning to move when I’m able, to get out of this dump, FYI. I just don’t know where. Either to NYC, Orlando, California or freaking Canada if I really need to get away. I’m not getting into it all, but my life’s been hell here, especially with my family, so once I get my autism benefits sorted out, I’m getting the f*ck out of dodge.
@@greenpiersystem Orlando's pretty good. Speaking from experience as a snowbird
It would be funny to see the states react to other states weird and outdates laws. Like in Canton, Ohio you only have an hour to report your missing tiger to authorities.
Well, to be fair, its better to minimize the amount of time with a tiger on the loose before it gets hungry
@@poffzihavenoidea531 I know, but why give an hour to them? You should report that immediately you know common sense.
@@amberwriker5237 you guys are allowed pet tigers????
@@Kei-gg7gp I'm not from Ohio. It was just the one wtf law I remember years after hearing it. I really hope they aren't allowed tigers.
@@amberwriker5237 if they are... imagine how bad they had to be to get a full hour to report a tiger missing.... 😱
That video had me giggling a lot, I´m excited for the other answers ^^
we need more of this
NY: “oh, you eat alligators, huh? Well how about lead?”
FL: *chuckles in Florida* “I eat faces”
when i left NYC i started saying i was from Harlem, not NY
As someone from long island new york, i can say this is accurate.
Yea, I'm from Queens. We almost never say we're new yorkers.
Even in the MCU you got Spiderman and Captain A. saying Queens and Brooklyn instead of New Yorker.
As a Staten Islander I agree. I simultaneously hate my Borough while constantly talking about it.
“ i eat faces “ that caught me off gard 😂
As a resident of the Rochester, NY area, I CACKLED.
I grew up ON long island 🤣
Is this going to be a new series including all the states because I would like to see what happens
“rat boy” is the best name for new york
ever
It’s also the nickname a particularly jerky drill sergeant gave Ben.
@@annbuccieri1267 I love how you remembered that one! Made me chuckle again :D
Pls do more stuff with GA
watched the live last night while you filmed this! It was so interesting to see the process! Any chance we could get NC "bless your heart" merch sometime?
