Rhode Island Joins the Table

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- We invite the smallest state in the union, Rhode Island, to the table and learn a whole lot about the Ocean State. The coastline, attitude, drivers, hot wieners, Del's, coffee milk, awful awfuls, Nibbles Woodaway, and the 2-time mayor of Providence: Buddy Cianci. Did I miss anything?

RD: it’s Hawaii?
DC: She won’t give me her number 😔
Native Hawaiians: Gee, I wonder why!
Ya um... you got some history their bud?
@@mr.factoid105 I don't have the whole ordeal memorized but basically, Hawaii became a state partially against their will. The American Government basically wouldn't stop harassing them until they forfeited their identity as independent people. At one point the American government straight up dethroned the queen and just set themselves up as the local leaders. And of course general racism causes a lot of problems for Native Hawaiians a lot
@@robertchaney2704 oh I know I was just being sarcastic and maybe a bit condescending. Like that guy that was just standing there while you argue with your wife at the bar.
@@mr.factoid105 Gotcha
@@robertchaney2704 Alaska was actually kind of similar. Russia had attempted and failed to claim and control it but couldn't hold the land particularly well because the various Inuit wouldn't let them do their hostile takeover. Russia was hemorrhaging money trying to keep Alaska, so Russia basically sold that land they effectively neither owned or controlled to the US before they lost it to their British rivals who had begun poking about the region. At the time they sold it, Russia had less than a thousand people there.
This is the first time Rhode Island was portrayed correctly 😂😂
Accent needs work though
@@LindaC616 no one ever gets the RI accident right. Not MA not NY... Unless you’re from here you just won’t understand. 😆
@@jenjor1098 I live here. But it could be closer. For my first 10 years, it would take me half an hour of sitting at the bar to distinguish between Rhody and MA accents
@@LindaC616 they’re definitely different, but you’ve got to be a native to know. If you’ve lived here long enough you pick up the nuances. 😆
Disagree. He wasn't angry enough. 🤣 We're always so attitude-y. Also agree about the accent. You have to be here to understand. My BF lives just over the border 30 minutes away in MA and we can totally hear each other's accents
My dad's girlfriend is from Rhode Island and I've never seen something so perfectly encapsulate her. She only drinks coffee milk, the former mayor of her hometown was being investigated by the FBI for fraud while he was in office, she's one of the smartest people I've ever met, she's crude as hell, and she's short.
Unless it was a reference to Buddy
one of the smatest
i live in rhode island, theres nothing to do though. just swim. look at leaf.
I'm from mass, but very close to the RI border, and coffee milk is big in my part of mass too. We had it for lunch at school. Rhode Island has a very distinct culture. Where I'm from is a bit of a mix of RI and Boston. But if you go 45 minutes deeper into mass from me, people have never even heard of coffee milk. Its weird.
@@mattymatt6970 isn't it more...."wasp-y" toward the interior? I feel like coffee milk is big in areas where there are lots of Italian and Portuguese people, and the Portuguese communities werethe fishi g communities, Fall River, New Bedford, etc
Love the Miss Congeniality quote 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ditto. Long live Ms. United States
Man the pandemic really made me appreciate the art events that Providence provides during the summer .. even corny ass water fire 🥺
Did they do it last summer? (I'm on the island, so I didn't make it up there last summer)
lmao why don't you like the water fire? i haven't been in like 5 years but i dont remember it being that bad
ive lived here all my life and i have never seen the water fire
I moved to Rhode Island 5 years ago. I was today years old when I learned about the risd sports teams. And it’s absolutely wonderful.
I've lived here my whole life and didn't know it🤷🏼♀️
@@beautybycrystalmckenna966 same. Can't say I'm surprised though 😂😂
yep. the more u know
Rhode Island is like a baby version of Florida with that mascot...
You should see him when the holidays come up here. They give him antlers and a red light up nose.
The big bug is the best !!
Rhode Island. The state that proves the rest of the country doesn't know all the 50 States of the US. We get cofused with Long Island. They think we are part of New York. Like, do you really not know all 50 states?
@@michaelday6987 gotta confess, it’s only because of Family Guy I know of Rhode Island - I blame being Australian for my ignorance though
@@elyneda This was a general statement. It wasn't supposed to be a response on your post. Not sure how that happened. Sorry.
This totally describes all of RI at it’s best
I just love how you hit the different accents so well. Ive lived in several states and these are spot on.
As someone who has lived in RI most of my 41 yrs. Well done!
I’m a Texan with a Rhode Islander dad. He has and wears a shirt that says “3% bigger at low tide”.
This is the most entertaining way to learn about my country.
The only things missing were Roger Williams, being first to tell England 🇬🇧 to pound sand and how damned good the food is here. Spot on though.
as a Rhode Island Native, I can say that the no school Fosta-Glosta is the best thing to be heard
YUS!
SHORT JOKES!
I need to do that with my friend!
Also is it weird that I like sitting in seats where my legs swing?
You used the Houston reference!!! I'm so happy right now!
As a non-Rhode Islander who goes to school there, this is terrific
If you tell a RI friend that you are going to Newport for dinner, the first thing they ask is where are you staying. Because it's over two bridges and they won't go that far without an overnight stay. longest drive in the state is about 54 miles end to end
Oh damn! That spittake had me roaring!
This is the best one you have made in a while. Oh my gosh I freaking loved this one so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a Rhode Islander, I'd say this was 153% accurate.
April 25th is still risky for a Nor'easter. Get some milk and bread just in case.
The references are so amazing I live here lmao
wait so the states can just like teleport in but only if the door is unlocked. logic.
My parents got married on April 25. And every year the Miss Congeniality joke gets used.
He does not need a high chair Florida. But thank you for doing that it made my day
as a floridian all i can say is. yup
I thought Perry was gold enough and then YOU INCLUDED MISS CONGENIALITY AHH
loved in ri my whole lift and always knew about scrotie but i didn’t know about the risd team names
I love the captioning
Phineas and Ferb, Family Guy, and Miss Congeniality (favorite one) references. Woot!
I'd say that was the best yet. :)
Hey you make really funny vids thanks for the laughs
As a graduate of "foster glocester" school district, sometimes I miss hearing those words.
Cursed snow belt you guys NEVER HAVE SCHOOL. 2020 was your longest consecutive school year thanks to distance learning lol
Now that we have distance learning to fall back on I don't know if anyone is ever going to get another snow day ever again
Old or not i tell my self that NY,RI, Connecticut, NJ and sometimes Vermont are more closer as brothers then any other states (unless you have a North or south in your name)
I live in RI and love my coffee milk
As a Rhode Islander, I am concerned with the amount of stuff you got right.
I grew up in RI. This video just encapsulated any and all relevance RI has. It’s not exactly a cultural hub.
How is a half hour drive a day trip? In arkansas a day trip is at least a 1-1.5hr drive, most of the time it is for fishing (at least for my family).
YES! I love it.🤣🥰
i live in RI and all of this is 100% accurate
That is absolutely funny as hell
I love that New England + New Jersey are always pissy and angry, like they should be
Here's one more for the locals...Rhody, Rhody, Rhody!!!!
I drive by the big blue bug all the time one time someone one graffitied it and the entire town was in uproar
As someone from Rhode Island this is 100% correct ( I ain’t going no where that has a drive longer than 30 minutes so that’s very correct ) also I just know realize the perfect date joke because I just watched the movie
"April 25th" hey thats my birthday.
In Rhode Island's defense, it wouldn't fit inside Houston. It's roughly twice the size.
How come they never mentioned Mayor Buddy Cianci’s pasta sauce?
Up until very recently we had the longest name!
rhode island: it’s pretty much massachusetts
they even have a holiday from separating from massachusetts
Florida is so crazy but they do have the best Govenor. 👌
Strip pizza and dels slap though
Lol I wait for these
As a rhode islander, i understood 100 percent of his words.
Yes, i love coffee milk
Yes, i love dells lemonade
Yes, i love the big blue bug
Yes, the river fires are fun
Yes, i love awful awfuls (yes thats the real name)
I take umbridge at Ohio saying "Ope"
Hi little buddy.
You should have talked about the longest running 4th of July parade
Salty Brine absolutely is for the natives. That's a deep cut
4:50 yeahh that didn't age well
You didn’t get the Rhode Island accent right it’s a lot more nasally like Lois from family guy the only character on the show set in Rhode Island with the ascent
No he got it. Only older Rhode Islanders really sound like her. We are a mix of mass and New York
Love the nod to Miss Congeniality
Me a Rhode Islander watching this : 🧍
Did no one thing of SCAD in savannah Georgia that's the best art and design school
I want to see a video where Florida and Texas tea bag Government.
Sigh, I hate the fact that I agree with Florida at all times. It constantly reminds me that I grew up in this state
Rhode Island is actually the size of Dallas.
i am from ri this is not how we sound i have met no from ri who sounds like this i live here to this day to
but nice video
"You need both? I know a guy...." Sideways glance to look at Trump.
I need to see a video of Florida getting himself locked out
god i love being a new yorker
Yes I live in Rhode island
Forgot to mention the widespread, unanimous shock and grief among the people when Buddy died lol
Why is that funny?
Florida is that bad kid that is in the office so much that they leave him in charge when they have a staff meeting.
You should work in our schools 🤣
I named a chair in my office after a kid because he was there so much. Welcome to Florida!
@@m00tw00t @Sue Lance when my son was in the first grade one of his classmates stayed in the office. He was a sweet kids just couldn’t stay still. (I called him preposition because he we be under, over, with his seat. Never in his seat😆). One day I was in the office and the kid was answering the phones, giving directions, and the secretary was like “Yeah, sometimes he’s a really big help.”
@@Oonagh72 Sounds like a kid with ADHD
@@arthurschamne9804 yeah. Total ADHD.
As an Alaskan, I fully approve of the way we are represented. It is genuinely how many people here behave.
As a Floridian, yeah...us too.
@@FloridaGirl000 Haha! Good to have accurate representation.
@@eboyer1960 Same as an Arizonian. we are basically a state of f*** you
@@revanda85 I feel so represented as an asshole Zoni lol
I was born in alaska but moved to north Dakota
"you put a hat on a platypus and called him perry" nice Phineas and Ferb reference
Had me cracking up
Loved that reference. The theme song popped into my head when he said that.
You beat me to the Phineas and Ferb reference.
why did i think the tri state area was between California, arizona and nevada this entire time
@@belannawalker2164 wait, what
this series has taught me more than geography at school
Periodt
I think this is more of a human geography subject than a map kind of geography
Teachers should show this to kids in school
Yep
I thought geography would be fun, but it really just taught me a bunch about rocks, not impressed
I’m trying really hard to suspend my disbelief, but... there’s a door?? I thought the states just kind of, uh, dropped in.
So they aren’t magical🧐 Hmmm
The door’s name is Doorothy and she has a brother named Dave. The chair is Chairiott.
And Charlotte
It's a trap door
@@angiect3791 This is the only acceptable explanation!
As a native Floridian who moved to Rhode Island, I am utterly impressed with how spot on this was.
I am just the opposite. I was born there and was raised in Florida. But I understood every reference
I’m half Floridian and visit both a lot. All I gotta say is Here’s Rhode Island bragging about a big blue bug that while big by bug standards isn’t really that big, to Florida who has Pegasus and Dragon, the Shockingly obscure second largest statue in america that is of a Pegasus fighting a dragon. Rhode Island has a 50s B Movie, Florida has a Kaiju movie
Why did you move to RI. I’m from there. I would never go back. That place is fucking horrible my guy.
@@Kal-El207 O3O I feel compelled to answer despite the question not being directed to me. It’s Beautiful Dawg!!! And they have a really nice zoo and it’s the home of HASBRO! RI IS THE HOME OF OPTIMUS PRIME, POTATOHEAD, MY LITTLE PONY AND GI JOE!!! You want horrible, go to Atlantic City NJ. It’s like Mos Isley from star wars only on the beach, crumbling and its what Monopoly is based on
@@willku9000 Bruh that’s funny you say that cuz I actually lived in Atlantic City NJ and it’s just as shitty as Prov. I live in Texas now and I’m not leaving. Lol
My home state represented perfectly all it needed was a iggys doughboy and clam chowder reference and it would have been perfect
Or aunt Carrie’s and mr lemon since it’s better than Del’s
@@qpg16 don’t know about better then Dels part.
@@qpg16 I prefer Mr Lemon
Uh,that’s Chowda....
Iggy's is overrated Carries ALLLLL DAY!
As Native Rhode Islander, I really appreciate this FINE work of art!
Cranston girl here 🙋♀️
@@amandaadrienne837 lol try Woonsocket
@@huzaifahikram2835
I worked in Woonsocket at one point
From Pawtucket I now live in warwick
Does Westerly count as Rhode Island? I'd rather identify as Rhode Island than Connecticut.
RI: I have the most coastline!
Hawaii: Ha! *you puny adorable mortal*
Michigan has the second longest after Alaska with over 3000 miles of coastline! That's with both peninsulas
@@emilywest1116 ocean, not lakes, sorry
We literally do have the most coast line per capita mile
@@tinafrancoeur4871 Fair enough
@@jackcoderre5789 Maryland has more coastline per square mile.
as a Rhode Islander, the "No school Foster-Gloucester" joke took me OUUUUUUTTTT. Shit happened so often that in 2012, on the day the world was supposed to end, I'd made the joke to my dad that they got the day off, and HE DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS JOKING UNTIL HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT. They've gotta be the dumbest kids in the state, I swear!!!
hey not all of us are dumb now they dont cancel shiii like the entire state got the day off except us 🥲
with remote learning available now, this might change a bit, lol.
At least us Rhode Islanders know are countries of the world.
That's great! Rhode island is Small But Mighty! Love Hawaii's laughing at the " island " situation!🤣🥰👍
i was lied to my whole life until last year. turns out we are just land.
Rhode Island is an Island ...It's the island that holds Portsmouth, Middletown, and Newport
as a native this is scarily accurate. when i heard “no school fosta-glosta” i died laughing
I lived in Mass as a kid. Fosta-Glostaaaa was the sure thing for every district
🇦🇺 Australia calling: Ok so WTF does "No school fosta-glosta" mean? Here 'Fosta' is slang for Foster's Beer - a disgusting beer that only tourists drink. & 'Glosta' is slang for Gloucestershire a county in England.
Fosta-Glosta are 2 towns in the Rhode Island Highlands. If it snowed, the radio stations broadcast what towns cancelled school if it was too deep. If Fosta glosta we're on the list, most towns were too.
And it is Foster and Gloucester, I was attempting the accent
@@hossri2000 As a Rhode Islander I can't speak for what no school foster glocester meant for you, but for Rhode Island those two towns were always the first to get school canceled, the reason it became a meme is because they canceled more than any other town.
Honestly should have uploaded this on April 25th
We don't talk about that
@@hidhshsj123 Why? No seriously why? (Australian & I got no idea what you're referring to)
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 this was a year ago I honestly don't remember anymore
As a Rhode Islander - this was freakin hysterical. You hit almost everything but the potholes 😂😂😂😂thanks 😂😂😂
one can't avoid but hitting the friggin potholes.
Yeah we still gotta fix that.
Search the mascot at your own risk. Aka: Private browsing. 😂
Also neat a Hawaii cameo nice, good for her. 👍🏻
This was just Rhode Island getting roasted by everyone wasn't it? Cause that was fun. 😂
Ct and Mass stayed out of the way lol 😂 but that’s because secretly they like there little brother.
When mentioned "The Balls", I just screamed YESSSS as loud as I could
That the mascot or team name of the university or...?
Edit: nvm he explained it and either these sport teams were named decades ago OR Rhode Island has no fucks to give
@@Heavenlyhounds96 they are older but RISD the rhode school of design is known for being a little…out there. Technically the school doesn’t recognize scrottie officially though lol
@@qpg16 yeah I mean RISD is where The Talking Heads really got there start also.
@@groton27 The name of the band is Talking Heads
The accent, the references…. He clearly knows his stuff. This is a masterpiece.
The pure amount of time that has to go into actually understanding all of the little details is crazy, dude deserves every dollar made from these vids.
0:12
Nobody:
Inclusive crosswalks:
Ok this made me cackle
That was a good one😂
I'd like to see some more regionalized round tables.... a New England one could be great
Sometimes a 20 min drive is a half mile. The years...yes years of roadwork. Half the time no one is working🤦🏻♀️ This is why we bring lunch😂😂😂
I think most people will miss that joke....
But floridians know.
We know.
I feel like anybody who lived in Massachusetts at the time of the big dig would also identify
and sleep on the road. oh and almost get into car accidents because we hit a pot hole on I-95
As a born and raised Little Rhody, I absolutely approve this video!!! I am 5 feet tall and fit in perfectly here!!! I love this guy!! Water fires are awesome, Dels Lemonade is a staple and coffee milk has been sent by me to California, Wyoming, Ohio, Florida, and Alaska, and all my friends are now hooked and order it all the time. Autocrat coffee Milk!!!
That was so funny. I'm from RI. When I was young and there was a big snow storm. We would listen to the radio to see if we has school. The first city they would say was no school Fosta Glosta. You did a good job.
GOV being ghosted by Hawaii 💀
And they have every reason. At least they have Islands
An ad for Rhode Island literally preceded this video for me.
I see ads for Warwick sometimes and I'm like... why.
The Miss Congeniality joke just makes it for me. 😂
I feel like we need Florida, Louie and Rhode Island to get together
Florida and Louie are best ❤️
No that to much chaos the world will destroy it self
Should I be proud to have understood the last reference... Or concerned that I know that as a French person? 🤔😅
As always thank you Ben for the laughs! 😂🤣
Well at least Rhode Island is happy a lot it seems
What’s the light jacket thing?
