:p haha

i love kentucky. theres a KFC on every corner :D

Penn, Ark, and CO are the best, IMO.

Alaska an Kansas were pretty good

i liked delaware the best...

That's really funny! :) :p

Three cheers for sterotypes!

Rhode Island is awesome.

Lol, I love the Ohio one...it's so true!

I shit you not, there are no fewer than three all-you-can-eat buffets within a mile of my house (A Cici's Pizza, Great Taste Chinese Buffet, and Hometown Buffet).

Liked the dotcoms in North CA and the Cthluhu reference in Rhode Island too.

Ha! Brilliant.

I *love* Indiana - Bobby Knight FTW! :p
And poor Deleware, hehe.

hahahaha

You know I want to be insulted by the Nebraska one, but I just saw a tumbleweed rolling down the street afew weeks a go and I live downtown in the largest city in the state.:(

BLASPHEMY!


They have the UP as part of Wisconsin!

*declares jihad*

Aw. See, I'd love to see a tumbleweed in real life (as opposed to in old Western movies), I'd probably even take a picture of it. :p
Silly Europeans.

Hey! They gave Wisconsin the Upper Peninsula! That's ours, damn it! *drives off angrily in his Ford SUV, listening to Motown*

No no! We must strike at those who have made off with a fourth of our state!

BLASPHEMY!

pfft, who cares about wisconsin or the UP?

Jesse Ventura hasn't been in office for like 5 years or something...


I will admit though, it is hard to find something to dislike about Minnesota, so a little throwback humor is ok.

pfft, who cares about wisconsin or the UP?

I do, Bitch!

I do, Bitch!

pfft, no one cares about you either...

How insular.

Brilliant. I liked Massachusetts!

How insular.
But funny too, right?

Rhode Island is awesome.
I don't understand it. Also, what is the point of the Delaware one? Is Delaware that unremarkable?

But funny too, right?

No. Its insularity renders it quite drab.

It's got Cthulhu. Cthulhu and a guy with a switchblade. One of the public schools used to have a mascot with a switchblade. Doesn't have it anymore.

It was really kind of depressing how completly stereotypical it was. What really confused me was how it wound up here, I mean it wouldn't shock me to see one out in the weastern part of the city closer to the outskirts of the city, but this was on the opposite end near the Missouri river and there's several miles of city before one hits the country.

I liked every one of the ones from the south, especially North Carolina (im from there) and Alabama, Play Freebird!

i like how they incorporated the Confederate Battleflag into them and also Virginia and the history of tobacco

Vermont was the best

I guess it just slowly tumbled it way into downtown. :p

Ooooh, wait, I may have a tumbleweed cartoon for you, I'll see if I can find & scan it...

LOL, pretty stereo-typically accurate......

although Delaware was the best :D, I also liked Oklahoma, and Texas.

Yeah, but personally I would have thought it would have ben nailed by a car or something before geting this far.

Weird.

I could have done a better job. :p

How insular.
Awww! Poor BABY! Tsk! :D

Yeah, but personally I would have thought it would have ben nailed by a car or something before geting this far.
Just because it's a tumbleweed doesn't mean it's stupid. :p

But yeah, found the cartoon, but it's too large for the scanner, which also makes the words too small to read. So you'll get it text only - it's a "B.C." comic strip by Johnny Hart and it's really just this guy sitting on a rock with tumbleweeds tumbling by.


Guy: Tumbleweeds. God... why on Earth did you make tumbleweeds?
God: They make a lot more sense on Earth than they do in Heaven.... don't you think?
Guy: I think a lot of us have been takin' God too seriously.



See? And thus, tumbleweeds prove that God has a sense of humor. :p
Might want to bring that up in the next thread on if God exists - the secret's in the tumbleweeds.

Awww! Poor BABY! Tsk! :D

Your comment makes no sense. Look at the definition of insular. The word applies to this. Very uninteresting to those who do not share your cultural insula.

:p I was worried it was going to be one making fun of Nebraska's public image, seen a few funny cartoons on that:)

Funny. really shows how stupid america can be.

This is pretty cute.

Check out the New York one... and mouseover Ellis Island - is that true or is that true? Heh...

Funny. really shows how stupid america can be.

So what is the Polish stereotype?

IIIII'm glad you asked that question.

Well...lets start with Poland being divided up between Austria, Prussia and Russia...no longer becoming a actual country!

Hah...then, once it regains its independence....It gets invaded by Germany....

Then once it regains itself do to actions way over its little Polish head, it becomes the Soviets bitch, exporting basically two good things and two good things only.

1. The Pope.

2. Sausages.

Not too mention while the rest of Europe was moving along at breakneck spead...poor little Poland couldnt reform its midievel economy...:(

Yeah...your track record isnt exactly showing your peak Polish preformances....but please, if theres something I missed where Poland actually did some good in the world, feel free to inform me, the rest of the people on this forum, and the citizens of the rest of the natural world.

You may say, relax dont take it so seriously, Atlantian...its just a joke.

Well then I will say this...EXACTLY.

Do you mean you honestly haven't heard that joke:eek: There's a Canada version as well.

Well dont give me blue balls!

Tell me, will ya!

pfft, no one cares about you either...

How would you like it if someone stole a fourth of your state/province?

You forgot about the screendoor submarine;)
Poland did not invent that.

Poland did not invent that.

Conviently missed my post, did ya? :cool:

Well dont give me blue balls!

Question: Did you see the Polish submarine with a screen door?

Answer: Don't laugh, it keeps the fish out.

Poland did not invent that.
It's part of a joke, no offense just a little kidding.:)

I didn't get the Washington one. I mean, if it had looked like Nirvana, it may have made sense, but those were completely random people.

The music was ok the first time around. It got a bit annoying after that.

I don't think there's that much to it, it's just supposed to be some random grunge band.

Colorado was by far the best. See if you can get the subtle reference.

I don't quite get Maryland's or Rhode Island's either.

How insular.
So? :) Obviously people from here enjoyed it for the most part. Every post doesn't have to be accessible to every member.

BLASPHEMY!

*declares jihad*

*joins jihad*

Let's invade Ohio while we're at it. Toledo will be ours yet.....

Lol, I love the Ohio one...it's so true!

I shit you not, there are no fewer than three all-you-can-eat buffets within a mile of my house (A Cici's Pizza, Great Taste Chinese Buffet, and Hometown Buffet).

Well there is a Golden Corral, a Ryan's and a China Garden Buffet a couple miles up from where I live. I always feel like I've wasted my money because I didn't eat enough. :(

THANK YOU...WOW,,I NEEDED A LAUGH

Christ, Ohio is spot on.

i think New Hampshire is funny, I don't know if it true because i've never been there, but this is a stereotypical thing and all stereotypes are based on the truth and usually kinda true,

anouther thing most people always stigmatize the South as racist, seems to me the highly revered and all-great Northeast is a little

Based on a cartoon stereotype of one state?

WHERE WE GOT THE UP IN THE FIRST PLACE!
*mounts wolverine*

No. Its insularity renders it quite drab.
America's culture and stereotypes are famous globally (e.g. southerners are gun-wielding rednecks), so I think I am sufficiently informed to find this funny. I don't mind that you are not.

I don't get Massachusetts- we don't have a larger amount of Irish than other states, and our govenor is Mormon. You'd think the guys punching each other in the bar would suddenly stop, start making out and get married or something...at least that would make sense.

*also joins jihad* Let's just take the Midwest while we're at it, eh? Maybe southern Ontario.

Well, Boston is stereotyped as being very Irish.

So what?
