[AliceC18Cullen]

no mcr????

[misstree75]

I'm moving there in a few months from now :)

[nonoluv]

Ok, Chris Rock-Andrews, S.C Brooke Shields-New York, NY Thanks for reminding us that douchebag Robert Blake is from NJ. Bruce Willis- Idar-Oberstein, West Germany Christopher Reeve-New York, NY Paul Sorvino-Brooklyn, NY Christina Ricci-Santa Monica, CA Daisy Fuentes-Havana, Cuba Debbie Harry-Miami, FL Albert Einstein-Württemberg, Germany Need I say more? Just because they were once IN NJ does not mean that they are from or are there...

[njcowboy78]

@nonoluv The video doesn't say anything about them being born in Jersey... These people all have NJ blood. They either moved there when they were very young, ie Willis, or got their big break there by driving over the bridge to work, and then back home to NJ to sleep. Maybe they weren't born in Jersey, but they are all former neighbors of mine (within a hundred miles anyway), therefore they are OF New Jersey... Just like the title says.

[IzzyIsou]

All I can say is: "See you in 2 weeks, baby blue."

[nadiaxisxrad]

What was the rest of the country doing?

Well, NJ gave me Lyme disease ( a really bad case), and I couldn't handle the cold, so now I live in FL. If that hadn't happened, I probably never would have left. I left several times, but always came back. I do sometimes fell like I am out of the loop down here. Franco Harris went to my high school, and Calista Flockhart went to my son's.

[Mark42281]

where is Patti Smith??

-PHAM~!

[2199]

Centerville, then East Camden, then Pennsauken, then Stratford, then Tulsa,Ok.

[seattlegurl07]

im afraid you left out my chemical romance, and i didnt see bruce springstein but he may have been there

[NJHCRevEdge]

4:47, The Boss is there. As for MCR, who actually wants to claim them? It's easy to miss someone though, there's A LOT of famous people from Jersey. NEW JERSEY MAKES, THE WORLD TAKES!

[2199]

Who is MCR?

[NJHCRevEdge]

My Chemical Romance, unfortunately them, and the Jonas Brothers are from NJ. But that should just be our secret.

[2199]

As Florida said when James died. DAMN! DAMN!! DAMN!!! Iwont tell nobody. But that is out of the bag. I wish they would go away. Jonas Brothers and MCR.

[NJHCRevEdge]

So do I, man.

[ballgirl971216]

hon, its TRENTON makes, the world takes! thats what it says on the bridge!!

[NJHCRevEdge]

I'm well aware of what the bridge says, I saw it every time I had to go out to the DMV, to try and argue why I should be allowed to keep my license. Seeing as how, these people com from all corners of NJ, from Summit to Cape May, I think my version is more fitting.

[ballgirl971216]

ok as long as you knew it!! heeheee thanks!! but i still like the video! its just that yeah ive never heard it that way, always the way with trenton!!

[badtown88]

Best state in the Union by far. Fuck the haters.

[feeneyhungry]

I Didn't see bruce so unless i missed him which is unlikely

[razbo1963]

and if it werent for nj you would be wiping your ass with your hand

[razbo1963]

although nj does have landfill's. most of our trash and toxic wastes go to western pa, indiana, we have beaches, gambling, horse parks, mountains rivers and streams lakes and mexicans to do our work to culture our landscapes.

[jerzeyguy57]

@razbo1963 ...well said my friend !!

[NinetiesYouth]

Ahh yes, the Toxic Waste Dump state.

[walsh2458]

Buttzville NJ!

[ceerivera]

Albert Einstein was not from New Jersey...

[badtown88]

Read the desciption. It's also people who lived in New Jersey, like Einstein did after he came over from Germany. There is no better state.

[AsiaDiamond]

Great people come from NJ. I wouldn't live anywhere else

[Xenopus123]

how would u know its great if u wouldnt live anywhere else? u'd have nothing to compare it to

[AsiaDiamond]

I went to college in the south. So compared to the south, New Jersey is the best place to be

[UpValleyPacifist]

Dirty people and stupid accents come from New Jersey. It's almost as bad as France.

[Slo888]

shut ur cunt ass mouth u homo

[UpValleyPacifist]

That's exactly the kind of intelligent retort I would expect from an New Jersey resident.

[Slo888]

thats the reply you would get from any resident if u insulted them?

[UpValleyPacifist]

Well, I wouldn't insult any other state because that would just be rude. There's just something about New Jersey...

[shadowmaiden66]

what about mcr D:

they are all from new jersey apart from the drummer bob XD

:) lol

[bdicat]

wha bout me? Me author, rite book, many, kidding, you missed a few thousand

[Markb2477]

Most millionares in the country live in New Jersey.

[lolaboox3]

Because People from Jersey know we're doing. Jersey really is beautiful no matter what part you go to. Who ever moves here is smart.

[KDET10]

How could you put Bam Bam Bigelow on there and not Diamond Dallas Page? Good video though........the only state that has pork roll, and only you fellow jerseyans know what i mean haha

[jimbopatt057]

Please add tony saragusa Superbowl champ from Kenilworth NJ Diamond Dallas Page From Pt. Pleasent, NJ. WWE champ and creator of YRG Yoga for Regular Guys.

[Lizard2672]

Thos ewho talk trash (pun intended) about New Jersey have obviously never seen anything in NJ BUT the NJ Turnpike. Sad, NJ gets such a bad rap b/c ppl travel to NY (which smells like urine....lol) by way of Newark airport. It's ok if you don't want to see the rest of NJ, but don't assume that it's ALL like the turnpike (which DOES REEEEEK)....I have been to MANY different states, and although I love a few for different reasons, .....so far ONLY California rivals what NJ offers.

[aiffam]

yes this was a nice state, but like everything else things change.... and its sure not for the better... yes it is a nice video. you must not have kids and pay taxes.........i'm surprised i am not taxed for writing this....

[lolaboox3]

Jersey =)

[JManGuitar5150]

Jersey's the best state... Period, end of story...

I mean seriously, you've got the Pinelands, the cities (North Jersey, New York, Philly), you've got the beaches, you've got the casinos..... WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WANT?

[bdrakey1974]

Rev Run lives in Upper Saddle River, there are many hocky players living in Morris Cty and some football players too.

[joshephjonasbaby1]

you forgot the JONAS BROTHERS ddddddddddddddddddddddddaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaa

[hotgirltracy]

[justtogetby23]

[easytk]

People from Nj are trashy.

[santos9318]

[andretheking86]

lol i know, and NJ literally smells like shit

[Lizard2672]

You have obviosly never seen anything in NJ BUT the NJ Turnpike. Sad, NJ gets such a bad rap b/c ppl travel to NY (which smells like urine....lol) by way of Newark airport. It's ok if you don't want to see the rest of NJ, but don't assume that it's ALL like the turnpike (which DOES REEEEEK)....I have been to many different states, only California rivals what NJ offers.

[johnnymagic10]

haha Grover Cleavland... I heard he ran an awesome tailgate in the giants stadium parking lot... OOOOOOoooooohhhhhh

[DJMays54]

To each and everyone, we all came from somewhere. Each place may mean more to others. Lets be proud for who we're, and not try and put another person or place down. If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all. Oh by the way I was born and raised in NJ,lots of nice memories. I live in southern MS now, long story, but didn't leave because of the state. Thank you for sharing. Truly appreciate it.

[adolph14]

Why would anyone from Jersey, undoubtedly the greatest place in the world, want to move to Cali?! There is something seriously wrong with a state where poeople eat pizza with a knife and fork.

[TheMiddleMan667]

haha, i was born in Cali, but i moved to NJ :D
