10 most ridiculed states in America. North Carolina?
Let’s face it, some states end up as punch lines more often than other states.
I mean who hasn’t heard a dating close relative joke about Arkansas? If you have never heard one of those jokes, I’d like to welcome you to America.
Making fun of places has always been an American pastime. No matter where you live you have made or heard a joke about other places. I've heard jokes about states people, cities, insurance rates, real estate, and rental prices. Nothing escapes a good joke.
Today we find out what jokes get the most ridicule.

some years ago I went on vacation. well, half way thru Ohio my car was low on gas so I went to a gas station. Sadly I had to pump my own gas. not a pretty sight, but in the end I got help from other drivers. Best part is when I tell this story to others they are generally understanding and say something like, you couldn't figure out how to work the gas pump. then I have to admit I never made it that far. what I had trouble with was opening the cap. stupid thing had a lock key. since then I got married to someone from another state. After learning this story he asked me why I hadn't bought a cap that didn't require a key. I had never thought of that one until he asked me that. we moved out of Jersey this past year, and I actually pumped my own gas (kinda) once. highly over rated experience, so these days he's in charge of doing it I do miss the pizza :(

As an out of state grad student studying in Utah, it is by far the most made fun of state. I was in the Air Force and have lived all around the country, and Utah gets by far the most jokes of any other state I've lived in. The amount of Mormon jokes or polygamy jokes, or the lack or coffee or alcohol jokes, or getting married at 11 years old jokes I've heard from my friends out of state are endless. Which is sad, because it's a beautiful place with a diverse group of people, and I've loved living here so far!

Minnesota deserves at least an honorable mention also.

[@tescherman3048]

Minnesota gets the "oh it's so cold" punchline relentlessly. And it's true, but that happens IN THE WINTER. In SUMMER, Minnesota can also be 90 degrees, sunny and humid. And it's also home to one of the most affluent metropolitan regions in the US.

I heard the "Florida Man" references as early as 2001 when FARK actually created an entire category for weird news articles specifically from that state.

[@dArtagnan712]

I've got to admit that I actually admire Florida Man for the originality of his antics - always keeps you wondering, where he gets his ideas. One of my favorite fiction authors, Carl Hiaasen uses Florida as the location for his many bizarre stories and I swear, that reality rivals even his wildest tales!

Texas should have been here. I live in Texas and I love the cities, but it's definitely one of the most stereotyped.

It is hard to satrize a place that is already satirizing itself. As Tom Paxton said,: “Some people you don't have to satirize, you just quote 'em.”.

@@PoetGorman the cities here are great. Houston, Austin, Dallas, etc. all great places. Most of the state sucks though.

[@PoetGorman]

@@PenguinInguinLodge That's true in so many places that are less than ideal. The people who want to live a less restricting life tend to migrate to the cities as adults. Some of the coolest cities in the nation are surrounded by, well, less cool communities.

The exclusion of Alabama, which by the way is known much more for dating your sister jokes then Arkansas, and leaving the whole Ohio meme off the list, yet including places like Oklahoma, Indiana, or Tennessee, tells me this list is irrelevant.

Where was "Deliverance" filmed? The Chattooga River that divides South Carolina and Georgia was used as the backdrop for the vast majority of the scenes in the movie. Significant portions of the film were shot at Woodall Shoals, which is considered the most dangerous rapid on the Chattooga.

@@asajayunknown6290 agree fixed income people should not move to florida as prices are rising. But for the upper middle class Florida is wonderful prices won’t effect those much at all. True if you are going to be effected by an extra thousand or two per year in home owners insurance florida is not for you. There is Zero state income tax here so for us it definitely far outweighed the much smaller costs of home owners insurance which wasn’t that cheap either in Minnesnowda were we wasted 20 years in paying high taxes in everything.

Michigan - Detroit vs... Maryland - Baltimore vs... Minnesota - Twin Cities vs... Missouri - KC/St Louis vs... New York - NYC vs...

When my folks moved to Bakersfield California in 1954, I was called an Okie by the school kids. Also was called prune picker. I joined the Army in 1960 and never looked back. Too many fruits and nuts there. I have lived in Oklahoma since 1963 and I find that Oklahoma is a wonderful place to live. Fair sized cities, still can see the old west with ranches, farms and rodeos. Beautiful geography from Broken Bow to Kenton, Ok. and a great Indian population.

[@2chuck]

I agree with the initial 8 on your list but I'm shocked at both number 1 and 2. I've spent a lot of time in each, 6 months on the Central Oregon Coast, but maybe the people surveyed were only thinking of Portland. It really shouldn't be fair to judge a whole state by one city. Also, Alabama wasn't even on the list and they really should be. I wonder how many people who filled out your survey actually spent time in the places they ridicule? I enjoyed the premise and for the most part the results, you always keep it interesting. Thnaks

[@jershuw]

might not be fair but it's accurate. Just by geography alone and California taking up 3/4 the west coast that leaves very little land left. Unless you live in those states or done your homework most people are only going to associate Portland or Seattle with their respective states. And in Oregons case 9 times outta 10 if its on national news its because of something happening in Portland. lol

According to Redfin I could get more than twice my purchase price. Homes in my neighborhood are in the $350-400,000 range. 700-1000 sq ft. It's crazy but it is what it is.
