Easiest way to tell if your in a small town:
everything stars with "The"
The bank
The store
The gas station
The bar
Lol. Truly the of these businesses. No alternative.
If you can say THE bar in a town of any size, you ain’t from Wisconsin
are you supposed to say im going to bank???
@@ariella2828 wow, that was so unfunny. In bigger towns people say the name of the bank. Bigger towns have more than one store. In a city, it would be pretty confusing if you just said the bank when giving directions
@@NYD666 woww first of all im 11 second of all i was not trying to make a joke third of all im from a small town
my small town life memories:
- driving around with friends on the weekends, hitting up the 7/11 for snacks at midnight
- "wait, the theatre's opening again?" "Yeah, we'll see how long it lasts this time" (it lasted 3 years)
- driving 45 minutes to a slightly larger town for Tim Hortons
- knowing the names of every one of the 120 students in school, from kindergarten to grade 12
- arguing about which of the two Chinese restaurants was actually good and which sucked
- seeing the same old guys at A&W no matter what morning you went
- driving 45 minutes to the nearest town that one year when we literally didn't have a grocery store
- hearing about everyone's opinions when that one lot of trees beside the highway was cut down
- walking through the mall and seeing all the empty spaces no one could afford to rent
- everybody knowing who "Derek" is, the old homeless guy who bikes everywhere and lives in the woods but is apparently a millionaire
- standing in a field at night, picking a star to stare at, spinning in circles, then trying to run toward a flashlight (star-tipping)
- not being able to date 75% of the town because you're related
- dreading the town's one stoplight (yup, just like Trey said) when you take your driver's test
- always running into people you know when you go to town
- becoming friends not because you click but because there's limited options
Edit:
okay so since y'all are asking about Derek, here's some fun facts
- he always wears a newsboys cap
- his face is in a permanent frown, those eyebrows could *kill*
- his favorite place to frequent is the Fields store
- he's like Cotton-Eyed Joe, no one knows where he came from
- if he speaks to you, you sure as heck better say "sir"; we are respectful villagers here
- his hair and goatee are pure white and always trimmed, yet somehow scruffy looking
- he hates people staring at him
- he likes recommending candy brands to people (specifically from Fields)
- his bike is one of those cute ones with a basket on the front
- apparently he threw garbage at my best friend once
Edit:
Here's a few things about bigger centres/cities that terrify me
- public transit. I'm 22 years old and I literally do not know how to take a bus or a train or a taxi
- highways with more than two lanes, how do you people drive
- how unfriendly people are? Like here you just smile or wave at people you don't know and it's a normal thing, do it in a city and you must be a pickpocket or a pedophile
- the variety for restaurants, shopping, etc. Like I would be so broke, my self-control is non-existent
Omg the last one is so relatable
I kinda wish I lived in a American small town. In Britain everything’s different 😂
so..you're not gonna tell us about derek??
The theater line is so relatable. Ours lasted about year last time and is currently closed.
You had a stoplight?
A funeral home, Mickey D’s, and Dollar General. Yeah that’s the small town trifecta
😂😂😂😂
We got all that except a Mickey D’s in my town, we do have like 11 churches tho😂
@@joeylauren6781 Same, haha. We do have a Sonic, though!! The 11 churches is no joke!
dont forget the eleven churches
True, Can Confirm
As someone from this EXACT town that he’s in filming this video.... this is so accurate and hilarious that it hurts 🤣
are you serious?😳
Where is it. Im just super curious.?
@@fluffyfluffss Louisburg, KS
@@lka17chiro95 Thanks. I figured that once i watched the rest of the video. Lol. Did you meet Trey?
@@fluffyfluffss haha no but I wish I had gotten the chance to!
Most accurate parts:
- 11 churches
- she's my cousin
- The directions
Also, "that's Biden's America"
@indiebell aww this was so wholesome
“You’re use to growing up in the suburbs, take it easy. You act like you’re from Dubai.” 😂
yup i'm from a town small town in texas with less than 500 people and the only place to get groceries was the gas station LMAO
💀💀💀
Wait do you buy clothes there too or-
@@katsukisleftcoochielip we had to drive to another town with an actual store to get anything that they wouldn't sell at a gas station
same, we go to the gas station to get our groceries in michigan too, or dollar general
I’m in a small town in Texas too
i was watching this thinking “wow every town in the midwest really does look the same” and then i realized it’s the louisburg that i live 15 minutes outside of
Same!!
45 for me that’s cool
Louisburg with the apple cider and donuts! Love it! I was wondering if that was the place he was in. When he said Kansas City I knew it was.
Same wtf 😂
I live in louisburg lol
We moved from the city to a small town. On our first school field trip, we went to the “bigger” town nearby to the ride the elevator. I am not kidding. I thought it was a joke. About a year later, we moved back to the city. Thank you, Jesus.
What? To ride an elevator? That is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time.
He literally can play any role, mom, teen girl, teen boy, middle age dad, grandpa ect, like he’s so good 😂😂😂😂
*etc
He's so good it's ridiculous. I think he can be relatable to everyone.
@@gabrielestrada9682 sorry I suck at grammar lol
Personally, I can’t wait for Fall Pumpkin Patch 2021 girl! 🍁 😍
“One bank, one post office, eLeVeN churches, six state titles! And zero Democrats!” 😂😂 *too realistic*
That would be one nice town
Lol
@Richard Lin how would they see racism if there isn't racism anywhere they go
@Richard Lin and LGBTQ is against the bible so they should be against it
God wants them to not support those decisions but still love them
Yup that’s basically same in every small town AND village around the globe tbh lmao
I can’t even tell if the ad was an ad it just feels like part of the video like what??
“We know who’s pregnant, your criminal record, and your dirty laundry.” Perfect explanation 😂
My mom hangs her laundry out.
As a proud citizen of louisburg I can say everyone knows EVERYTHING about you and you family fun but sucks
I am saying the truth I actually live here and this is very accurate
Yep
“ I’ll miss you mee-maw and pee-pop “ great line
You guys have several Walmarts? No just one Walmarts....so underrated
imagine having one 🥲
I just got that lol, it took me a minute
@@lauraweihe samme
I feel a more accurate representation would have been THE Walmarts, or as my family calls it, The Walmarks. 🤦🏻♀️
@@danam2364 lol you beat me to it!! 🤣😂🤣 "Walmarks"
In my town we have about 400 people,no stoplights, one bank, two churches, everybody knows each other and we have a bank and a tiny gas station right outside of town.
we just got our first stoplites a few months back.....it's a 4 way stop & people who tried to turn onto hwy 84 kept gettin' broadsided & kilt..... These ain't actual stoplites like in the city, just blinking red lites, which is an improvement over the 4 big stop signs which weren't doing much good, as not enough outta -towners comin' thru can read I guess.
what's really nice about being here is you can see the stars... and the stripes, we still keep God in our schools 😄❤️
How about more?
@@aph9155 true
@@aph9155 We don't need religion....but a true relationship with God. We need God. This world is so messed up and dark...only God can fix it....and He did id through His Son Jesus Christ. He is our heavenly Father and He cares for us. So yeah we don't need only more God.....it is Him that we ever and only will need in our life. He will fix this world and is up to you if you take this chance or not...God doesn't force you...but He is the only solution.
@@aph9155 Nobody asked
You know you were from a small town when you flex on other people from small towns to see which one is smaller. “Oh you have one stoplight? Well we don’t have any.”
Lol so true
LMAO
You have a post office? We don’t have any
@Redheaded Stranger I just moved to the middle of nowhere in Oregon and there's only 1,300 people here. I didn't even know there were towns this small. XD
And it's the most satisfying thing to be from the smallest town😂
“We got one, it’s about an hour and a half that way, but we got one”😂
“...and zero democrats.” Too good 😂
Sounds like paradise!
@@Yellow4494 more like hell and stupidity
"I've had a lot of milk in my day, and it ain't come from almonds - but that's Biden's America" 😂 DEAD
I lost it 😂😭🤣
Living in a town with 800 people, this is 100% accurate
What's it like? I'm from Cleveland and I never go out of here bc I'm broke ash😬
@Remmington Johnson that sounds real borin imma be honest
@@astro6125 nah it actually sounds amazing- imagine knowing everyone around town, it speaks to a familial atmosphere that sometimes I yearn for out in the city which feels more callous in comparison
@@workout9632 very true, you'll just lose out on some common ammendities
My town doesent have a grocery store we do grocery shopping at a gas station
I love small towns and villages. They're really the heart of any country
Just moved out of my small town of 2,000 people. I miss everyone knowing my name at my kid's schools, seeing the same people at church on Sunday, and running into people I knew at Walmart even though it was 20 minutes away.
No sweat. You’ll meet new people and make new friends :D
@Mr. Dog I’m sorry you feel that way. But if you hate it so much, then why don’t you leave?
@Mr. Dog I’m so sorry
Our closet Walmart is literally an hour and a half away from my town
@@sierrak6340 mine is about 7 minutes
I’m starting to think he is actually from a small town
“Do you want to watch on my front porch or yours this time?” So true lmaoo 😂
“...I MISS YOU MEEMAH AND PEEPOP 🥺”
🤣 I was dying!
I do this when I drive by my grandmas grave!
Yup....
Me who lives in a small town in Oklahoma: This is 100% realistic.
Hey Arkansas here neighbor state bros✌️🏻
@@denkiisabaka5209 Both of our states football teams have or are going to beat Texas
You left out my favorite direction: "Go down to where the Smiths used to live and turn right."
Correction:
One bank, one post office, eleven churches, six state titles, and 30 bars with cheap beer and cheap food!
So great! Love, love love small towns! The peeps are real down to earth and live by there principles. We need to get back to more communities modeled after small towns. That’s real America! Tx for this video. 🇺🇸 🙏🏻
Real people
“I had my first kiss on the hay bail...then we found out we’re cousins”
*🎵SWEET HOME ALABAMA 🎶*
Yaaaaahhh
Or Arkansas lol 😂
I was thinking the same thing lol
I have a small town relative that says “WalmarKs”. The ‘t’ becomes a ‘k’ with the added ‘s’ at the end. 🤣. We love her and she takes no offense when we point that out to her. ❤️🤣
My mom said that her grandfather always used to call Walmart and Kmart Walmark and Kmark. 😂
Are you talking about Louisburg, KS?
That's exactly how we talk! "We got a mall in town. KC about an hr away." 🤣
People in *Texas* can relate to this.
Yall never seen a small country like slovenia right
Fr
Ohio ♥️
Georgia lol
Yeah- it takes at most like two days to get out of the state if you live in Austin...
"Is Carrie working? My cousin?" The accuracy omfg
“is Carrie there, my cousin?” 😂😂😂
This seems pretty similar to general Midwest culture too, I didn’t grow up in a small town but dang a lot of this is relatable😂 especially the “watching the storm on the porch “ deal
Yeah, especially the 11 churches part. Except instead of that in the whole town, it's within every square mile. Oklahoma sucks
Haha I always go outside during tornado watches/warnings. I look at the sky and decide how serious it is lol (Texan)
Yeah but nothing else is relateble if you grew up in midwestern suburbs
"We got a tornado warning tonight? Okay, do you wanna watch on my front porch or yours this time?"
Trey, your Oklahoma is showing. 🤣
Bruh....
This was all so true. I'm still living in a small town and it's all so absolutely true lol.
Been a practicing pagan for over 10 years and to this day I swear up and down that I'm Christian to my neighbors and even go to church sometimes just so people don't get into my business.
Oh, heck no. I’m a vegetarian/almost vegan for ethical reasons in a small town. I don’t advertise it, but I don’t cover it up either. Be yourself!!
"We have a lot of diversity" and goes to name cars. Lol
and specifically only pickup trucks, not even different body types lmao
Funnily enough, my small town actually has racial diversity with the fact that half of the town is Mexican
“With the stimulus check we went twice”
My favorite part🤣!
I grew up in a town of 1500 with a graduating class of 46. One stop light, and only 2 hours from Kansas City.
This was perfect.
Yeah I’m actually from this town, we’re a little bigger then what he’s portraying but I get that it’s for comedy, it’s also very accurate!
Lol. Yep. 2 stoplights!
“We found out we were cousins” 😂😂 literally everyone is somehow related in small towns I swear.
You think small towns are like that? Just wait until you see the Amish
Literally
I live in a bigish city and there is a small town that my dad grew up in and I found out I have second cousins, great aunts, and great uncles there, that I have never met or heard of. And when I go to that small town, my family is talking about all the relatives and how they are all related, and I'm so confused. In my city I am only related to my family that I live with, but in the small town I'm talking about my dad is talking about all the people he is related to
Girl . I have done 6 people's genealogy l here . They all have multiple over laps including my two kids dads to those friends.. one guys parents were great great cousins .. him and my crush descend from the same slave siblings..
“We have 11 churches”
**holds up 3 fingers**
"o we have a mall, its an hour and a half up the road" 😂😂😂
“No, We have diversity in this town believe it or not. Yeah, we have Greg up the road drives a Ram pickup. You know I’m a Chevy guy myself.”🤣🤦🏻♀️.
Yeah, I can say that, from a rural area, there isn’t much diversity, almost everyone is white and straight, but we got a lot of diversity if you’re talking about pickups
Diversity is so overrated. I say this as an Asian (Filipino).
@Richard Lin Wherever I am, I got here through my skills, education, hard work, and accomplishments. I didn’t get here by crying diversity or oppression.
@Richard Lin Did I say diversity is bad? I said it's overrated. I guess you don't understand nuance.
@@phoenix5054 " diversity" is an orgasmic word for rich white lefties.
First thing I did was send this to my mom. She moved out of a town JUST LIKE THIS. I spent one summer there, and I remember being baffled when I rode my bike from one side of town to the other in less than an hour. They had corner store that let you keep a tab! It was... deeply surreal.
I moved to my grandpa's farm in western/upstate New York (from SoCal) after my grandma died to help him out for a bit and started bartending at one of the only buildings in town. We kept tabs open for people and the one town cop used to sit in there and drink all day
Ha an hour? That's a long time bro I've seen wayyy smaller towns
I've lived in a good sized college town my entire life and moved to a small town for school. My friend's family owns the tractor repair shop. They just... have a bar tab. For tractor repair. You can go in, drop your expensive repair job off, pick it back up, and pay when you want/when your next repair is. It's WILD.
also, I don't believe anyone has ever taken their keys out of the ignition of their car. You either leave it running or unlocked, no other options.
@@SeeShmemilyPlay ahh yeah forgot about that. People leaving their car running everywhere, especially in winter. Also never locking the door to the house. We technically had a Walmart too but it was like many towns over and 45 minutes away.
@@laurenhazlett6327 I always get shocked when I hear people don’t lock their doors or something. I know there are places that do it, just always surprises me
"2017 National Food Science Champions"... Now _that's_ a championship to be proud of.
"I had my first kiss on the hay bail but Hayley bailed on me😭"
My town had 200 people, one restaurant, one school, one post office, a hairdresser, a bank, and 20 kids in my graduating class. And we were one of the bigger towns in my area, hahah, so glad to leave.
Who just tells people that they’re from the neighboring town that’s much bigger?
I do this. "I'm an hour north of Charlotte" everytime!
Omigosh yesss 🤣
I’m just down to a region. “I’m from central NY”. People still think I live in the city 😩
Hahaha I'm from 30 minutes South of Dallas..... I now live an hour north of Dallas lol gotta love living in small towns no one has really heard of lol
My husband 😂
"*a deep breath of cow smell*" 🤣🤣🤣
where i grew up in indiana literally the only store was dollar general, the only place to eat was subway which was built into the only gas station and there was one post office and one stop light and everyone knew eachother, outside of the town was just corn fields for miles.
Louisburg, Kansas is my hometown and I'm shook saying I was on that championship FFA Dairy Foods team on the sign 😅😂
This one is my favorite so far. My mom is from a small town in South Dakota and this is all SO relatable.
I live in a city in California we have 90,000 people in it. People come from LA and freak out because we still have some dirt roads , very few sidewalks and no street lights. One guy I was dating was literally scared of the dark roads. lol
Tell him Wuss spoiled LA brat. Lolol
We moved when I was fifteen but the best years of my life were when we lived in our little town of noble Oklahoma. Still see it as home to this day. It’s where I grew up, where I think I learned who I was.
Anyways, as someone who claims Noble as my hometown I can confirm that this really is how it is 😂 a bank, a few churches, a post office, and plenty of fun stormy evenings. Only thing we were missing was a Braums
This is an accurate description of the entire Midwest
I’m from a small town thank you for this accurate representation
May I just say that this video is literally Oklahoma especially this part 0:26
I feel like that’s just central United States in general like Tennessee Texas Alabama Oklahoma Nebraska Kansas Missouri etc
This is so incredibly accurate, it’s kinda scary lol. When I meet new people and this convo inevitably comes up, they never believe me when I say I only have around sixty kids in my entire grade.
That’s... not normal?
I have about 20 in my whole grade😬
Dude every town near me has like 5 houses in it
2:46 some city boy stops by asking for almond milk LMAO 🤣 😂
We have 250 people in my high school+elementary+preschool, they all come from 4 small towns. The smallest class we had was 6 students.
@Richard Lin obviously I can’t speak for everyone, but I had a very small class and because it was so small everyone was friends and got along pretty well. We all knew everything about each other and it was pretty nice :)
@Richard Lin yeah I got bullied a lot too, to the point where I cried and my mom's office oh, it's a way better now now that I'm doing online and they are at school I don't have to deal with them and from what I hear from my other classmates they're not being great
@Richard Lin I mean, coming from a small town myself, my high school was about 400 on a good day, there wasn’t a whole lot of bullying going on. Obviously I can’t speak for every small high school but mine was pretty calm in terms of that. Now don’t get me wrong, we had plenty of drama, just not bullying in any big way since everyone kind of knew each other.
@Richard Lin ok richie, not everyone is the victim. Why do u turn everything negative. This guy just stated facts about how small his high school was, and HERE YOU COME. " It must have been so hard for the people who got bullied, whaa whaa whaa. " grow up
@Richard Lin hey, I never said things like that can’t happen I was just telling my point of view on it
"you act like you're from Dubai", LOL!! I died!!
LOVE the captions! Not only do they add comedic value (FFA sigh) but i can understand everything you're saying! As a person with a hearing loss, i struggle to understand videos, and auto captioning rarely does a good job.
"Tornado warning?"
"My porch or yours?"
TRUE THO
The fact that the guy in this video would never buy that fancy body soap 🤣
The “over yonder wave” is hilariously accurate. 🤣😬
The one stoplight reminds me of my visit to Abaco Bahamas many years ago. All the locals kept asking us if we visited the stoplight yet. Their one stoplight on the island was a tourist attraction to them.
"Quarterbacks son"
That subtle joke was so good.
Can you explain?
I lived in a town with 170 people. The bank closed in 2016. Not enough foot traffic.
There's still a post office. But it's 17 miles in either direction along the highway to a town with a grocery store. The Walmart is 2 hours away. This is like one of those towns with grocery store. Looks exactly like it
“*over yonder wave*” 😂
Giggles....this cute video totally reminded me of. St. Mary's, MO., ❤ just a lil ways from Perryville, MO...
Both of those towns were a blessing to visit
family during summer break away,
from Phoenix, AZ...
"Is my cousin working?" That hit home
C’mon now - you go at least 4 times a year to the mall - 1) Back to School shopping 2) Christmas Shopping 3) and 4) to see two summer blockbusters at the theater there 😉
From a "small" town, No Post Office, No Bank, No Stoplight, One Gas Station, 2 Churches, but it has a population of 5k in a 35 square mile area, so it would probably be the same if I used a ratio to make my town smaller
sometimes I forget he's 1 person
“FORD-Fix or repair daily.” 😂😂
You got shops in a 900 people town, wow. We were the 2nd biggest village around and there were just churches, letter boxes and a funeral home cant get on without that one. School for the whole region was in the 400 people village just over the hills and they even had a boarding option as well as more students (1000) than actual residents.
*and not a single stoplight
"You still grew up in the suburbs too. You act like you're from Dubai" I screamed😂
This was my WHOLE LIFE. Small town people were you at? XD
here! one walmart , graduated with 65 in my class
funny enough my SO is from a small town and I am the big city girl. We met at college and ended up buying a house in his small town and I couldn’t imagine ever living the city again. Thank God for rural areas like ours!
As someone living in a town of less than 250 people, I can say this is 1000% the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen hands down😂 so sad
“That’s Biden’s America” 😂🤣
@Richard Lin Are you referring to when Trump said that he hoped his supporters would protest peacefully at the Capitol? Or when it it was proven that Trump held the Bible upright throughout the event which was either before or after protestors lit it on fire. The only thing Biden has done is end hundreds of thousands of jobs, call the genocide in China “a difference of cultural norms, increase gas prices and put an end to woman’s sports. I hope you realize how good you really had it under Trump. Poor Biden can’t even read off a teleprompter anymore. He should be in a nursing home not the Oval Office.
@@charlie9714 he’s so far gone he’ll never see it. Look how quickly he snapped over one sentence. They still are knee deep in Trump Derangement Syndrome. And it’s pathetic.
@Richard Lin its almost like you lived under a rock from 2016-2020. The media tells you the gas prices are high and you believe them when youve seen the gas prices go down. Crazy how blind. Have a good day.
@Richard Lin biden aint my president. And usually snowflake comes from the real snowflake. Name calling makes you sound like an infant. LOL
@Richard Lin When did I ever say they can’t live here. The only problem I have with immigration is when it’s done illegally or without enough screening
I’m from a even smaller town and this is just so funny I feel the pain. But also how I know everything about everyone . Yeah all the stuff like bigger stores is like an hour or so away.
“11 churches” SO TRUE why do small towns have so many churches 😭
@Richard Lin religion is a cult? I think liberalism is a cult. Get out of here richie
@Richard Lin diversity, diversity. Diversity, blahblahblah. Why cant you live not caring about race and judge by the content of character. You liberals really obsess over race
@Richard Lin Based on your 37 comments saying the spouting the same lunatic nonsense I think you're the one that needs help. You literally mention race in every single one of your comments. I think it's cool you like your own comments though.
@@benpieratt8667 Liberalism isn't isn't a cult. They have too much diversity and respect other views
@Richard Lin As someone born and raised in Brooklyn, who still (unfortunately) lives in NYC, I can tell you there are multiple storefront churches on almost every block in the neighborhood I grew up in. I don't see it as a small town thing, it's simply more noticeable in a small town.
Kansas City mall, only an hour and a half up the road lmao! 😁
Coming from a small town in Louisiana with only 200 people in it, this is amazingly accurate😂
"I had my first kiss out on that hay bale.... we found out we were cousins.."
Bruhhhh under rated 😂
LOL I love it when he was like “because of the stimulus check we went twice”😂😂😂
There's less than 500 in our town and 70% are under 18yrs old. Our post office (no letterboxes anywhere in town) is at the local pub and there are no other businesses. There is one small school that has from nursery to technical college. No traffic lights, or roundabouts, etc.
As someone who lives in a very small town, this is quite accurate!
As someone who grew up in a town of about 2,500 people (with the closest Target an hour drive away), some of this is painfully accurate. We have two main restaurants, one post office, one church, two gas stations, one mechanic, one overpriced grocery store. We do know everyone, but there aren't as many cousins as he has here :)
Being from a small town is great. You have a different connection with the people around you. In cities everyone is in such a rush and nobody cares about anyone. Most people can't even be bothered to say good morning
True. There is no sense of community in big cities, and lately, even of basic manners
Sounds like y'all have never lived in a city because my experience of living in a large city has been really great. 🤷
I thought I was the only one who yelled at my dead grandparents when I drive by 🤣
Moved to a town of less than 2600 from San Antonio.
We don't have any traffic lights, and the current biggest news story is that a cow got out and waa walking by the railroad tracks
Why is nobody talking about the spitting?? 😂
The comment I was looking for! Lmao
My husband uses dip and I see spitting all day long 😭😭😭😭#saveme
Everyone (well, just the men I think) dips out here! My dad has done it since he was 12 and still does it. I really don't get it.
@kelsey OMG Yea!! Spit bottles galore🤢. Then we he opens an old spot bottle that’s been in the hot car it smells like death baked in mustard gas.
