I got a good laugh from this video. He is really funny. I live in ND, Fargo to be exact. I love my state. It is cold in the winters though. It's suppose to get down to -22 below. Burrr!!!! Hey people, just in case you want to visit our state, don't be shy. Pick your season, we have 4 of them. I personally like all 4. The winter may be cold, some days more than others, but there is plenty in winter to do.
LMAO! I lived in North-by-God-Dakota for 2 yrs while stationed at Grand Forks AFB - H O L Y C R A P - nearly a 200 degree tempurature range (over a 100 in summer, all 2 days of it, and -85 at worst in the 9 months of winter). And pretty women? Sorry, they're mostly corn-fed husky women to keep warm "a doncha kno?" Then when it does get warmer, mousquitos from hell actually swarm your car, then later flys that carry away small kids & animals, & young kids going crazy with nothing to do!
Just letting everyone know that I am a first time published author. My book Rasciss tells the story of Hollowawk a man who literally defied death and now must face the wrath of petty gods. Come onto my channel and watch the video I made for Rasciss, leave comments and if u like what u see than please pick urself up a copy and let me know what u thought about it.
Go N.D.! X3 Ilove this state so much, and a good thing about it is that there are only awesome people here! And the land is so beautiful it makes me wanna shed a tear or two. :'D
North Dakota is a great place to live if: 1, you have uncles named Ole and Sven;
2, you hear a weatherman say that tomorrow will be "warming up" to zero degrees; 3. you think that bratwurst, beer, pizza, and lutefisk are the Four Major Food Groups; 4. you think anyone who talks without that lilting Northern Plains dialect is someone who "talks funny" 5. you believe farmers and ranchers are pure and business owners are evil and corrupt and 6. you wonder why anyone would move to your state
i really wish people would stop making fun of north dakota because there are people here. we may not have a lot of people but we have more than wyoming and vermont and nobody ever makes fun of those two
plus we have fuckin hot babes here and the cold is awesome at -20 i run in my skivies its like summer that why we have more men then any other state out there cause we have BALLS
i havent read all of the comments but if one helpful person out there tries to defend sewage treatment by explaining the real purpose of sewage lifting i will hunt you down
woot ND best place in america, hot chicks, low crime, snow, great people, snow, great education, snow, and we are just about unaffected by the depression, did i meantion snow?
athiest2006 is super dumb... we are a huge farming state, and all u have to do with ur life is make fun of us north dakotans.. u seem to have quite the interest in sewers, why dont u go for a swim in one? dumass
this guy must have been born without a brain...and thick skin
i wouldn't wanna be born any where else then north dakota.
we grow up strong and right
we are all able to use jumper cables, guns, and drive through a blizard without blinking an eye
nd is one of the few places on earth where there are truely good people, we will give you the money you need to get somewhere or the shirt off our backs
This video makes leads me to believe that you have no actual knowledge of what you write about. I appreciate the attempt at humor even though it seems to degrade your credibility as a journalist. perhaps this person should write fiction where he can write what ever the hell he wants and get away with it. I'm not even from North Dakota... Disclaimer.
like we would wear mittens when it's -20 degrees outside. how on earth would we be able to open our beer cans ? god knows that's the perfect weather for ice fishing and backroading, and it's damn near impossible to complete either task without a case of beer.
Well, I'm from North Dakota, and you're pretty lucky it was only -20. Last winter it got down to -50 in Fargo(the largest town in N.D, if you believe that there is actually civilization up here).
hey you sob where do you come off making fun of where i live the weather may be crap but its home so dont anyone every talk about ND like that again or i will find you
@Atheist2006 Maybe I smell after I work out or something, but pretty sure on a normal basis I don't smell. I do use deodorant/antiperspirant, lotion, and body sprays. Oh and taking showers helps too. I'm also enrolled at a University majoring in Psychology and Addiction Counseling. Yeah, cognitive psychology and Pharmacology of Addiction are classes only "stupid" North Dakotans take. Oh, and I have a 3.9 GPA, thanks for asking.
i am serious, come visit ND. you will, without a doubt, love it and want to come back. its SO beautiful and everyone here is nice. in ND you can walk around and you can see the sun. in new york i heard you can barely see the sun cuz of buildings and the brown haze. thats just what i heard. i love nd and the badlands!
I live a little over a half mile from that lift station, and remember sneaking away from middle school to watch the ceremony, and was one of those people wearing gloves and clapping.
i drove an 18 wheeler for a whle, been to 47 states, but not ND, which is y i been researching it and developed an interest. will come visit one day, it seems like a VERY interesting state to me, currently im in King of Prussia, PA (philly suburbs) will visit when the time comes unless some1 sponsors my transportation or a portion of it, but neither way i'm sure ill visit one day and i promise not to mock this isolated state with some of the friendliest people in the u.s.
North Dakota may be boring, but the people there are very nice and friendly. And everyone who says all North Dakotans live on farms is a liar. Go to Fargo or Bismarck to prove it. And they don't have a budget deficit. It's a good state with nothing to do.
I was born and raised in ND and I absolutely love it, but this video is hilarious. People need to relax a little bit, every other state gets made fun of too. About being cold, yes the winters are horrible, but that's why we invest in snowmobiling and occasionaly snowboarding(yes we have hills big enough too here, but not mountains) The summers are beautiful and so is the scenery. Everyone has an opinion and if you lived outside of ND you would be stereotypical too if you have never been here.
Dave Barry always makes me laugh :) You can't be too uptight about humor anyways. I have lived in TN, CA, and WA, which have all had jokes made at their expense at one point or another (sometimes deservedly :x )
ND's economy right now is booming. Its as if the recession has not effected my state at all. There are tons of job opportunities. :| haha my state does really suck some dick in the winter, but in the summer when crops are growing you actually have somehting to look at. All im saying is yeah, North Dakota does suck some what, but it is nothing like what everyone makes it out to be...(and seriously? i had a typo and spelt hick like "hic" and every one jumped all over me :P)
I'm from North Dakota, and I think this is hillarious. I don't care if it's accurate or not; the way I see it he's just doing his job as a humor columnist.
my apologies to you north dakotans. you're a pretty cool state if you ask me. but this guy is one of the most hilarious guys i've ever read. just read one of his columns (not the one on north dakota) and you will laugh till you cry. dave barry is awesome!
he should have at least done a little research before he said some of that. i dont mind when anyone makes fun of us if it is creative and makes sense. grand forks has what is considered one of the best aviation schools in the world. and we dont worry about wolves eating us. its those damn coyotes you have to look out for...
i really dont mind it when people make fun of north dakota. what does piss me off is when people call us hics. i mean wtf, thats southern shit. I do like making fun of my own state cuz its crazy small, but i cant help but feel affended by some of the shit people say. :P were not fucking stupid hics, im sick of people saying that
@krzycon Me too man. True, there are some hicks/rednecks here in the state, but you can find hicks in every state too. Has everyone forgotten about the Ozarks? And Texas? More stereotyping....
do NOT mess with north dakota, were all raised on farms, and we work more in one morning than some do in a week at the gym. and the population has actualy grown this year!! also we dont have to deal with FORCLOUSER and stuff like that, we also have a 10 billion surplus for the state as a whole
nobody cares if you make fun of norh dakota the haten type just hate cause their balls were stuck up their ass when they were born like this ugly ass Dave Barry guy.. us north dakotans fuck like rabbits and send our children out across the country..its a slow process but we'll be taken over the world in five to ten years you can count on it!
you know in the cold war. when the world was going to end that one day. u might know. but some ships where aiming bombs at minots airforce because north dakota had the most nucleaur bombs. and if you still drive around you can see some sometime. its not hard to miss its just a fence around something in the middle of nowehere
The unwritten motto of the great state of North Dakota is, "you get out of life what you put into it". This dude got exactly that. Mess with us and we will teach you a lesson. We work in that 25-30 degree below zero weather and we don't cry about it. Work ethic or die. Our friends in Canada will concur...they have tougher winters than we do.
haha i would totally agree with your comment. except that the low was actually -60 degrees FAHRENHEIT. and it also happened in 1936. so your wrong. and sorry im just bustin' chops today. ya can ask anyone.
Um, I can agree you get what you put into it, but that is the same everywhere you go. But teaching him a lesson?? I believe it was more of a humorous joke that even this presenter guy thought was funny. So teaching a lesson... no, funny ass get-back for the authors jokes about ND, that just made me realize that there are SOME people in ND with a sense of humor
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes, I did a vid on Fargo last year and those ND fuckers are still torching my ass, blaming me for making their city and state look like shit. Check out my vid and judge for yourself.
north dakota kicks ass we shoulda took over the US when we had all the nuke bombs here, it nice i live in fargo there isnt much crime in the summer the lakes are 40 miles away and and the winter snowmobiling, its a great place
Took over the US? Boy you couldn't create a big enough militia to have a solier in each city of this country, unless you are talking about trying to high-jack the country with nukes, and for that case any dumbass could attempt that as well. I believe your loosing bloodflow in your brain thinking ND could take over the US,
When the U S goes to hell we'll all be sitting up here in ND raising our own food, owning an shooting our guns and pretty much living the same way we do now. Where the hell will California be? or New York for that matter? Dont come here, we dont want your kind and by the way... The language we all speak up here is still English, always will be.
Right On..........North Dakotans will inherit the earth after all the coastal scum have either shoot themselves, burned up in forest fires or fallen off into the sea. We probably shouldn't advertise the fact that this such a great place to live....we'll end up trying to secure our own boarder as all the riff-raff heads our way.
I wouldn't bring up California, our state economy is the highest, we have deficits because of our lax laws on immigration, and the fact that we lock up so many non-violent criminals with out-dated laws that should be upgraded. Moat of the problems in Cali would be fixed if lawmakers made the right choice,
I sang at the dinner that this guy came to when he had that lift station dedicated to him as a joke, i still live in grand forks, and love it, but walking to class in -50 wind chill sucks, and yes if u went to college here you would realize it is still cold here, and there are no wolves in ND so how would that work, and also my graduating class was twice as many ppl as he said sent him letters!!
Okay, so some North Dakotans might be simple people. But, really..what is wrong with that? Born and raised in ND and not leaving...that's where I stand. I love it here!
i think it's AWESOME how people think that because we don't have a strip joint on every block that we aren't an AMAZING town. I've lived in North Dakota my ENTIRE life and i would never move to some GAY ASS STATE like New York where you pretty much get Jumped if you take a damn COIN PURSE out in public! dude SCREW OFF! honestly you stupid city slickers need to get your HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES!
Sooo you lived there your whole life, so what makes you think where you live is better than anywhere else if you only been frozen in your cabin your whole life? I can say that no matter where I move I am going to have fun so people that can't make it in ND probably just followers and can't make shit happen for themselves. I been knocking some of the people from ND because they say stupid shit, but I mean I am sure ND is ok in some spots where there is a strip joint
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
North Dakota has just been pwned.
And what's wrong with admitting you live somewhere that sucks? I was born in Acampo California and that is the shittiest place in America. Dave Barry is obviously impervious to insults so anything people say to "make fun of him" back is just wasted breath.
ya this guy is really stupid i mean i love north dakota hes just being retarded and thinking north dakota isnt even a state well you know what budy your a loser and o ya north dakota has a pretty damn big population and ya im pretty sure that the whole state is pissed at you our state is the geographical center of North America so ya your a DICK!
lemon patsy, you are truly the fu(king sh!tdip... how would you know anyway, do you live in this state? Its dumb f()cks like you that think you know all... you will probably end up voting democrat, ya HOMO!!!! SUCK IT
It's LemonPartier. You are a dumb fuck. I know what I'm talking about and you obviously don't. I hate Clinton, Obama, and McCain. I voted for Ron Paul in the primary.
Check your messages on here, I'm gonna send you a link to the USGS's website because YouTube is acting gay, like you, and not letting me post the link in this comment.
Hmm, do I have to go to Iraq to know that they would prolly kill my white ass even though I'm Muslim? My point is no one has to travel to ND to realize they won't like it there. I can do research, watch videos, and other forms of data to conclude that so don't think because we haven't been there that we don't know what's going on. Dude, your state voted Bush nuf said....
I grew up in Minnesota (Uff-da!) which is next to Both of the Dakotas and has the same
fierce winters, mosquitoes, etc. Now I live in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles has better weather. The Mid-West has nicer people.
Dave Barry grew up in New York. He's probably familiar w/ pretty cold weather. In
any case IMHO he's America's greatest humorist. Certainly the most prolific.

he should have at least done a little research before he said some of that. i dont mind when anyone makes fun of us if it is creative and makes sense. grand forks has what is considered one of the best aviation schools in the world. and we dont worry about wolves eating us. its those damn coyotes you have to look out for...

i really dont mind it when people make fun of north dakota. what does piss me off is when people call us hics. i mean wtf, thats southern shit. I do like making fun of my own state cuz its crazy small, but i cant help but feel affended by some of the shit people say. :P were not fucking stupid hics, im sick of people saying that

@krzycon Me too man. True, there are some hicks/rednecks here in the state, but you can find hicks in every state too. Has everyone forgotten about the Ozarks? And Texas? More stereotyping....

The unwritten motto of the great state of North Dakota is, "you get out of life what you put into it". This dude got exactly that. Mess with us and we will teach you a lesson. We work in that 25-30 degree below zero weather and we don't cry about it. Work ethic or die. Our friends in Canada will concur...they have tougher winters than we do.

Took over the US? Boy you couldn't create a big enough militia to have a solier in each city of this country, unless you are talking about trying to high-jack the country with nukes, and for that case any dumbass could attempt that as well. I believe your loosing bloodflow in your brain thinking ND could take over the US,

When the U S goes to hell we'll all be sitting up here in ND raising our own food, owning an shooting our guns and pretty much living the same way we do now. Where the hell will California be? or New York for that matter? Dont come here, we dont want your kind and by the way... The language we all speak up here is still English, always will be.

Right On..........North Dakotans will inherit the earth after all the coastal scum have either shoot themselves, burned up in forest fires or fallen off into the sea. We probably shouldn't advertise the fact that this such a great place to live....we'll end up trying to secure our own boarder as all the riff-raff heads our way.
ND58 3 years ago 7
I wouldn't bring up California, our state economy is the highest, we have deficits because of our lax laws on immigration, and the fact that we lock up so many non-violent criminals with out-dated laws that should be upgraded. Moat of the problems in Cali would be fixed if lawmakers made the right choice,

I sang at the dinner that this guy came to when he had that lift station dedicated to him as a joke, i still live in grand forks, and love it, but walking to class in -50 wind chill sucks, and yes if u went to college here you would realize it is still cold here, and there are no wolves in ND so how would that work, and also my graduating class was twice as many ppl as he said sent him letters!!

Sooo you lived there your whole life, so what makes you think where you live is better than anywhere else if you only been frozen in your cabin your whole life? I can say that no matter where I move I am going to have fun so people that can't make it in ND probably just followers and can't make shit happen for themselves. I been knocking some of the people from ND because they say stupid shit, but I mean I am sure ND is ok in some spots where there is a strip joint

North Dakota has just been pwned.
And what's wrong with admitting you live somewhere that sucks? I was born in Acampo California and that is the shittiest place in America. Dave Barry is obviously impervious to insults so anything people say to "make fun of him" back is just wasted breath.

Hmm, do I have to go to Iraq to know that they would prolly kill my white ass even though I'm Muslim? My point is no one has to travel to ND to realize they won't like it there.
