Sweet and calm Utah still made Gov frustrated, I guess Gov was too used to be in that mode after too much shoulder rubs with Florida, Texas, and California 😂
Or maybe the Government was the problem the whole time😂
California is perfectly reasonable in all things.
Sincerely,
Los Angeles County
*waits for laughter*
And New York, never forget New York
Massachusetts had my favorite
@@Cwitch67 that is the worst joke ever
As a Utahan, I am so glad you said those city names correctly.
I’m so sorry you live in Utah
Get well soon
Isn't it Utahn?
Utes like the school
The spelling depends on who you ask. Kinda like what city has the best *insert item here* in the U.S. just less intense.
@@jamesvigg2680 I've seen it both ways. I do Utahan.
"what are you gonna name your capital?"
"Well we built it near a great salt lake, so we're gonna name is Great Salt Lake"
"It's not built on the Lake, nor is it the Lake itself, it's a city!"
"That's even better! Salt Lake City!"
"I Give up..."
“The stuff white people like” 😂😂😂 this is AMAZING!!!! Gov has a dirty mind and Utah is just sheltered as heck
I lost it when he said that was the Book of Mormon.. 😆🤣
@@MorghulLupercal me too!!
Don’t be fooled, Utah just does a better job hiding what perverts they are, signed, a Utah man
@@Tadicuslegion78 bahahahhahah 👏👏👏
It's actually funny as hell. I happen to own it and about lost it when he held it up.
God I love the switch from old to new Utah
In what way?
@@waspwrap1235 Oldest Utah was just an Elder like from the Book of Mormon musical... this is a lot more representative and slightly less stereotypical.
But then wasn't Virginia or Pennsylvania originally also an Amish costume? Ben's wardrobe has gotten so much larger over those ... is it four now? Years?
@@Ugly_German_Truths 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 - guess we're getting old.
@@Ugly_German_Truths I believe that was West Virginia
@rooster5man
Some of us need to switch "alread" for "getting" in your statement.
Being from Utah I love how for once clip you switched from the byu Mormon outfit to the University of Utah outfit to do one sexual name. And yes we are all sheltered like that out here, the internet is eye opening
Yeah idek that beaver was a slang
Whatever happened to when it was the elder Utah costume
@@waspwrap1235 'Elder Utah' doesn't really reflect the entire state. Not everyone is Mormon in Utah - it just seems that way.
The Olympics was good for Utah, it finally draged the state into the 20th century. The fact that everyone else is currently in the 21st century is another matter. But hay ya know progress is still progress! 🤣
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 but the influence is impeccable
Fun fact: Helper was created by the railroad as a helper station, because the grades were too steep for 1 engine to get up on it's own.
I appreciate how innocent all the names are, and how innocently they were brought up. ♥️
Even goodie two-shoes Utah frustrates him with city names! And I'm here for it!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As someone who currently lives in Utah, I had the same reaction to a lot of these names. I was offended at half of their pronunciations. Hurricane made me angry as a Floridian. xD
I'm a Virginian who has visited often. You're not the only one
As a Utahn, born and raised, 1) I'm sorry and 2) I have absolutely no idea why that's how it's pronounced and I hate it, too.
It’s pronounced like that because it was settled by people from England. That is how the pronounce hurricane.
How do you feel about Duchesne?
this isnt about utah, but as houstonian who when to college in NYC, i hated how they pronounced Houston St there, so i can commiserate on how hurricane made you angry.
Oh no, I hope this has Hurricane and Tooele.
Update: It does, although I was slightly disappointed he didn't ask *why* a town name in a landlocked state is Hurricane. Also that living scriptures reference - great job!
Especially since the Pacific doesn't get many hurricanes.
I was wondering that too.
@@wta1518 And the mountains would pretty much block it anyways, what with the rainshadow effect and all.
@wta1518 as a person who lived in hurricane for a long time I think it's because the wind never stops blowing. Especially if u ever go to the Walmart area plus it's usually hot wind.
It is really pronounced "Hur-kin" anyway.... but I guess you'd have to be from Utah to know that. 🤷
"Oh my heck!" 🤣
Advanced Utah cussing 🏆
"You silly goose!"
As a history fan I might have slightly choked on my food at the mention of thomas jefferson, caught me off guard
I liked Utah getting offended about Missouri due to their historical context.
As a Utahn, I cackled so hard during this whole video. The best part of Beaver is the I ❤️ Beaver merchandise. Love the "reason" for Helper's name (it's actually because of the 'helper engines' on the railroad). When you went after weird people names, I wondered when you'd get to Nephi, etc. Was not disappointed. Also, Farr West is near Plain City for "not people, other cities, book, or church names"...
Well done. I'm only surprised you didn't mention Salt Lake City for the literal ones. 😆
Or Provo.
I was expecting Salt Lake City as one of the glaring ones, ngl.
Or green river
Or Oquirrh & Timpanogos. 🤣
“Who do you think I am, Missouri?”
Me, a Missourian: “*gasp* Who do you think we are, Arkansas?”
I mean, the Utah pioneers have some dark history with Missouri... Not Arkansas. I was actually impressed by Ben's reference of LDS pioneers having been chased out of Missouri by mobs, though no one got it
@@starlaeckhardt4526 Oh no hon if you grew up in Utah you got it. Even if you aren't Mormon you'd still get it. That incident is taught in history class - or at least it was when I went to school there.
I came for Utah bringing up Salt Lake City what I got was equally interesting. 😊 Thank you for this.
I'm still waiting for Texas, I love how innocent and sweet Utah is.
Seconded! Native American, German, Czech, and Spanish names for our towns, and some very INTERESTING pronunciations.
As a Utah transplant, I would like to see more of “The U” side of the Utah character!
Yah he's *WAY* more fun than the other guy! 🤣
You got most of the cities I know tbh. You mentioned American Fork, but there’s also Spanish Fork. Both of which were named after the canyons they were built next to. A good chunk of Utah cities are just descriptions turned into names Vineyard, Farmington and Coalville are all pretty close.
But my favorite/least favorite city names are Duchesne(due-shane) and Tooele(too-will-ah)
I grew up one town over from Mantua, Ohio... It just brings me joy to hear a non local actually pronounce it correctly.
I grew up in Twinsburg. It is great to hear that instead of man too ah.
@@jasonscragg4056 nice, I work in Twinsburg, and grew up in Geauga Lake
What? Mantua, UT is pronounced “MAN-o-way” like in the video (total policing-for-profit speed trap, btw, until they got in legal trouble over it). How’s it pronounced in Ohio?
Utah: Cedar City!
Gov: Oh... that's actually not bad...
100% love the Presidents reference! Was waiting to see how Peaches was gonna get worked in, then I realized Georgia wasn't here.
When you were getting mad about naming cities after other cities I thought you were going to make a joke about Lindon sounding like London.
That was so funny, and so true. 😂
In Utah, it's pronounced "Monti-sello". I've never understood why, except maybe it was named by people who saw "Monticello" written but never heard it pronounced.
The Indiana Monticello is too, which drives my mom (who's a teacher) crazy every time it's "mispronounced" on the weather reports
"You like the Presidents of the United States of America, right?"
"I'm not, like, going out of my way to see them or anything, but Video Killed the Radio Star is a classic."
The Buggles: "Are we a joke to you?"
(Knowing Utah, they'll probably name a town 'Buggle' when they see this comment.)
I don't know about southern Utah but as fat as I am aware there is no buggles up her in the north
I knew somebody would catch it 😂
This Utahn approves of this presentation of how our city’s and counties were named.😂
1:56 The C in Monticello, UT is pronounced like the C in circus, not like a "CH". Source: I spent 4 months living there on my mission.
Why did I laugh at this so much help "Fayette"
I love it "Tooele" "Did you even try with that one?"
Perfect use of so many of the cities here. I live near Helper and my kids love to sing " highway to Helper"
Thanks for being somewhat gentle Ben!❤️
the missouri one would be funny, especially if listing off the saints (louis, charles, peters, Genevieve) names that arent pronounced how theyre spelled (holcomb, new madrid) or named after other countries (mexico)
i know, they have MANY strange names and I really want Ben to do them. Many are the same name as other US cities or states, and of course they have Kansas City.
You forgot where I live Saint Joseph
Or doing all the weird names in the south like cooterville
Ahem.....Versailles. That's all you need.
Same, as a missourian waiting for my state to be featured in person!
I like that he got the beaver joke in there, but the fact he also mentions Fillmore WITHOUT bringing up that it is right next to beaver is crazy.
If you got to Beaver, there is a gas station with" I ❤️ Beaver" merchandise. I think it's a running joke.
As a utahn I love the alter ego lol
I have been WAITING for this one!!
This is my favorite Utah so far. Thanks for the upload. Hope to see u preform live on day.
Utah native, this is ridiculously accurate 😂😂
I loved that you included Mount Pleasant. I was born there and grew up there and even people from Utah don't know where it is. So when they ask where I'm from I just say Salt Lake because I moved there when I was in high school.
I also say Salt Lake area because if I say Kearns I get "where?" or "was it scary?" more often than I appreciate.
I moved to Orem from Taylorsville back in 9th grade. Same issue with just having to say I was from Salt Lake. It's like we lived in an amorphous mass of city.
@@lizziebreath9 Yep sounds about right
Love this! The living scriptures references were hilarious and I was just waiting the whole time for Tooele tho show up. Well done 👍
I’ve been here almost 10 years and I still learn new pronunciation of towns all the time.
2 episodes in a week? Ben is really spoiling us.
I remember when the Gov called in CT saying he didn't seem troublesome. No. Utah doesn't seem troublesome!
As someone from Missouri, I just have one thing to say: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Do you know the history of Mormon Pioneers in Missouri?
I love the outtake on the naming of Elmo. You got through the first part of it great but saying the names tripped you up? I would've thought the first part was too much like a tongue twister
This is some gold. After driving around Utah visiting family I feel I've been to pretty much.... all of those.
lol the switch from BYU Utah to Utah Utes for the unclean name *chefs kiss*
Go Utes
"Again with your puppets?" I mean he does know how to pull a few strings here and there.
As a Mormon, this is hilarious.
Same here 😂
It is super funny 😁
Same!
Same here 😆
Gov doesn’t buy Utah’s innocence😂😂
Yeah shit gets pretty weird here
As he shouldn't!
Nah they just need to bring Utah in to react to the innuendo in the names in other states. OMGosh!
Keep up the great work Ben!
Utah has some semi-normal town names, so he had to overemphasize everything
at least there are pleasant mountains to look at. Here in Michigan, God only knows why we have a city named Mount Pleasant.
As a CMU alumna, I was just about to say the same thing.
Outstanding! Keep up the great work
"Lump Town" Thanks for that. First good belly laugh I have had in a while.
...there's also a Saint Elmo
Nibley, Ephraim, Manti, Grouse Creek, Delta.
The best part is Filmore is north of beaver, so we call it the Filmore Beaver area 🤣🤣🤣
Far West is named after the place in Missouri. Lots of church history in Missouri
Very nice. Thanks for the content.
This was so great. Loved it
Super Smart and well put together. Keep up the good work, Big Fan !!!!
I'm cracking up on the stuff about the living scriptures. Really hit home for me.
As a West Virginian, I can appreciate that your Hurricane and our Hurricane are pronounced the same!
Damn that Book of Mormon shade though
if you ever get to idaho, here’s a small tip: Boise is pronounced “boy-see”, not “boy-zee.” though that may just be a regional thing-i live in the treasure valley (where boise is) and this is how we pronounce it.
Pleaseee do a arkansas episode, joins the table or names, we have names like toadsuck and pocahontas
I like Fordyce, because years ago, I heard there was a Four Dice Cafe. My mother’s hometown was Hamburg, Arkansas.
@@bethmoore7722 yeah but personally I love the town "Fricking Arkansas"
I remember when Ben first discovered the word Tooele
Fun story about Castle Dale. The city was supposed to be named Orangeville, after the mayor at the time. And the sister city was supposed to be named "Castle Vale" cause of it's view of the book cliffs that looked like castle parapets. But, when they submitted the names to the state government, they mixed up the names and spelled Vale wrong. So Orangeville became Castle Dale and Castle Vale became Orangeville.
been waiting for this one. let's go!
The living scriptures reference was unexpected, but excellent!
I OWN THAT BOOK! That's one of the funniest books I've ever owned. I can't believe it just randomly popped up in your video, haha!
Loved the U of U representative. Us liberal Utahns need more love.....but not in the polygamous way.
Proud Ute fan for many, many years, post-graduate in Poli Sci from the U, but still NOT a liberal or conservative. And, definitely anti-polygamy and anti-bigot.
Being from Utah (and not Mormon), I can confirm that this is spot on!!!! LOVE THIS!!!
"Who am I Missouri?!" Best Utah quote ever and it's true I'm a Missourian
I'm ancient enough to know the Video Killed The Radio Star joke and I thank you for it.
I’ve been waiting for Utah to come back for a while
As an Utah and LDS I loved this!
Yay American Fork! Or the fun way to say it American Fark! 😂 Oh My Heck I love Utah! This was funny.
Waiting for him to do PA. Intercourse, Climax, Balls Mills, Moon, Mars, Bird-in-hand just to name a few
Gov: “No more horny names!”
PA: “Blue B…” *furious stare from gov* “ell?”
He should invite Utah to the table and have him react to the naming innuendo.
you said my town and it made me laugh and giddy xD You just missed La Verkin, Apply Valley, and St. George for the lower part of the state.
There's also Jerusalem, Fairview, Moroni, Skyline, Mountainville, Scofield, Lund, Wellington, East Carbon, Dead Horse, Moab, LaVerkin, Leeds, Parowan, Paragonah, Washington, Milford, Milburn, Indianola, Hideaway Valley, Nebo, Provo, Orem, American Fork, Kearns, Layton, Hilldale 💀, Panguitch, Salina, Richfield, Delta, etc.
I can't wait for you to do a video like this for Oregon.
-Someone who works near Beaverton.
YESSSSS! Now to put this with the beach boys like song that is Utah names!
I remember that one, it was always fun to listen to.
nice job! some more chill chaos
Missed this❣️❣️❣️
If you want an actual book of Mormon, or Doctor & Covenants, i'm sure there are missionaries who would love to give them to you.
Also i learned quite a lot today.
I was genuinely shocked and impressed you got "Mantua" correct. There are like 5 people who live there
I’m from Tooele and I appreciate you pronouncing it perfectly!
I like the Missouri dig. And BTW.... it's pronounced "Monti-sell-o". . . Hellooooooo
I have grandparents in a TINY town up in Utah called Teasdale. It's by capitol reef. One time we invited friends up there and they we were teasing because the town has Tease in the name and they were just driving into the middle of nowhere.
Joseph Smith was matyred before Utah was settled, and did not name any of the towns......
Oh if you do come back to the Utah names, you'll have to add Beaver back in with the whole I ❤️ Beaver, Beaver Tacos, and The Creamery.
This is the second time this week that I've heard someone talking about Helper, Utah in a video...I'd never heard of it before. I'm told it is where the railroad kept the helper engines to climb Price Canyon.
I can’t wait until you do OKLAHOMA! 😂
i live in utah and right next to tooele and i think its funny to know that locals purposefully say the name wrong to confuse others so the fact you said it right is a miracle
people who dont know better usually say tool - ee
so. we do too cause its funny
That 'Video Killed The Radio Star' bit was great, I love those gags.
Just waiting for the day Arizona has to explain Nothing.
As a Utahn, I can say this is right on point! XD
The only category you missed was the cities named after mountain men like Ogden and Provo.
The fact that there is a city in Utah called Manila is just funny.
Great video.
