The Viral Video That Best Represents Each Of America’s 50 States, Part 3: The Northeast

America. Home to a diverse set of cultures, traditions, histories, and local phenomena. This leads to regional stereotypes, many of which are easy to make fun of. So that’s exactly what we’re doing.

The UPROXX staff set out to find the popular Internet video that best represents each of our 50 states. We’ve already covered the 26 westernmost states (here and here). Today we work our way up into the northeast. In alphabetical order: Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Know of a video that works better for any of these states? Leave it in the comments.

Connecticut: Amy Schumer’s Fancy Connecticut Friends

Here’s Amy Schumer, perfectly summarizing what being in Connecticut is like. – Dan Seitz

Indiana: Lil Sebastian

Three-fourths of what we know about Indiana comes from Parks and Recreation, where we are given the impression that Indiana is very friendly and very fat (“Pawnee: First in Friendship, Fourth in Obesity!”) Indiana was also home to the best thing to possibly happen to anything in the entire universe: Lil Sebastian. — Dustin Rowles

Maine: Excited Driver Spots Big Maine Moose

This happens less often than you think in Maine. By which I mean, it only happens every few months that a moose decides to get on a major highway. – Dan Seitz

Massachusetts: The Real Housewives of South Boston

What, did you think we were going to talk about the Berkshires? This is one of the few parodies of Boston townies that’s actually funny, not least because it’s the little things it gets right. – Dan Seitz

Michigan: Pistons Dance Party

It’s not easy living in Michigan, especially in Detroit. Sometimes you want to yell, “I can’t get this f*cking there” on live TV, while other times, you have to dance away the pain, as one chubby ball of energy and an usher did during a Pistons game earlier this year. SIGN THAT KID TO MOTOWN (is Motown still around?). — Josh Kurp

New Hampshire: Granite State of Mind

Vermont is actually the whitest state of the Union in terms of demographics. But New Hampshire, as this proves, is whitebread to its soul. – Dan Seitz

New Jersey: Best Of Jersey Shore

I’m so sorry, New Jersey. I am. I know you’ve gotten a bad rap over the years, and I know there are lots of good, wonderful people who live inside your borders. This isn’t fair, what I’m about to do to you. But you’ve really tied my hands here. I mean, the show was called Jersey Shore, and it was filled to the brim with over-tanned idiots getting drunk and punching each other in the head. It’s all the awful things people’s brains jump to when they hear “New Jersey,” and you gave it to them on a silver platter. I wish you had given me another choice. – Danger Guerrero

New York: Casey Neistat’s “Bike Thief”

If you’ve ever lived in New York City and owned a bike you’ve had a bike stolen. And there’s a good chance that at least a half dozen pedestrians saw your bike being stolen and did nothing, probably because they were all late for brunch or an appointment with their therapist. No one denies this. – The Cajun Boy

Ohio: Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video

51 seconds of pure, insulting joy. The follow-up is also funny, but part one tells you everything you need to know about my favorite place in the world: It has two buildings, everybody is a depressing drifter, and they’re still using payphones. At least it’s not Detroit. – Brandon Stroud

Pennsylvania: Raunchy Phillies Fan

Your favorite baseball team wins the World Series. You and your fellow fans have developed a bit of a … oh, let’s say a reputation for boorish behavior over the years. You take to the streets, no doubt with this in mind. What do you do? What DO you DO? Correct answer: Stand 10 feet behind a female reporter during her live report and make all sorts of wildly obscene sexual gestures. Go Phillies. – Danger Guerrero

Rhode Island: Corgi On A Carousel

FACT: Rhode Island is tiny. FACT: Rhode island is home to the nation’s oldest carousel. Here’s a corgi running it’s tiny little legs around a carousel. Ta-da, Rhode Island! – Ryan Perry

Vermont: Trout For Dinner

As a former Vermont resident… yeeeeeeep, that’s Vermont. Right down to the fact that this guy accidentally uploaded the video, meant for family and friends, to YouTube because he couldn’t figure out how Facebook worked. – Dan Seitz
