Spirit of Massachusetts 1980s Commercial Audio

[sportsfankyle16]

Hope they know New York is the spirit of America not Massachusetts

[emk2585]

Seth's version is better.

[SpitballSparky]

Love to Massachusetts from Illinois!

[Noke0]

Family Guy's better? Hell no, the first ten seconds beats the whole parody!

[Ryuchito]

I wish peter griffin had sang from the beggining of the song

[Soryalis]

Humble... Pfft.

[da4kool2aid0killa]

ive lived in western mass for 5 years and i hated it your state is full of gays, anti christ and degenerates i hope the terrorists blow up new england back to the stone age forever

[afigurl632]

@da4kool2aid0killa If you hate us all so much then GTFO

[da4kool2aid0killa]

@afigurl632 See thats what iam talking about degenerates like you your state is full of faggots and non believers gods gonna come down and kill you

[afigurl632]

@da4kool2aid0killa You have some serious problems. I suggest therapy. But seriously, if you hate us all so much, then why are you living here?

[LaPersonaNonGrata]

Currently looking at a map of Massachusetts and the slogan of it goes " The spirit of Massachusetts is the spirit of America." This is what prompted me to come here - acutally I wanted to listen to the Peter Griffin's version instead.

[Orik1990]

When Chuck Norris saw this video he beat Massachusetts into Canada because Chuck Norris is the Spirit of America!

(Written by a Dutch fella ;P)

[thegrlluvr]

@GuiltySparkmeister haha, speaking of "ignorance and intolerance".

[Ridicuragious]

As a Canadian living in the North West, I feel a strong urge to go to Massachusetts as it's the spirit of America.

[AmericanRattlesnake]

@GuiltySparkmeister STFU

[PwnforceFrank]

@Hanabol2 Visiting another state doesn't really make you a "tourist" in that sense.

Besides, it's more fun to travel to other parts of the world.

[heine71]

Jake Holmes sings the Spirit of America jingle.

[TheHomesun]

I feel this way about New England.

[AmericanRattlesnake]

Texas owns Mass.

[Kartoonkid95]

SODIUM CHLORIDE

[mainmedic]

There was a whole series of these ads made in the 80s both audio for radio and video for TV.

[doylewolfgangvon]

i thought ut came from family guy XD

[AnimeEyes143]

So much hostility for a video about taking a trip to Mass. People can really argue about anything can't they?

[LivingCrusader]

I like this better than the Family Guy version. 

[Ninesville]

Massholes...

[bobthe5th]

God, what an obscure reference

[mollymousemm]

LMAO, FAMILY GUY!!!!!

[qtpiegal]

LOL I WANNA GO THERE!!! ROFL

[OldsVistaCruiser]

I designed a license plate for Massachusetts in the 1980s (and submitted it to their RMV) just because of this commercial. My design looked nearly IDENTICAL to the plate you show at 0:12, except I used a codfish (pointing AT the word MASSACHUSETTS) as a separator. Maybe I didn't get credited with it because I live in one of the other three states that call themselves "Commonwealth?" I am from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

[TheExtinctSpecie]

I sailed with the spirit of Massachusetts once.

[SirKil0t]

so this is why family guy did the joke.

[TaiwanIsntACountry]

HA! Mass...

it's funny because its a puritan state

[beatleboy9020001]

RI is better

[Fallangel6]

@beatleboy9020001 We are? Fooled me. Eff this state.

[amits03]

CANADA!!!!

[Xaeleep]

@amits03 no... america^^

[goldwincs]

what a delightful song. i wish it was my town theme song..

[Adam19822000]

I'd rather have cancer of the balls than live in Florida.

[JackWhite52]

@Adam19822000 wats wrong wit florida? its awesome

[cristicharisteas]

I'm not an American, but I lived 1 year in MA. It is the best state in US.

[AxelAhlin99]

Not Greenland! :D

[educatedwhiteman]

the spirit of Massachusetts. listen to it. then hear it. the message is there hiding in plain sight! its the Illuminati man working with the Nazi scientists in Israel to engineer mind altering propaganda and mainline it straight to the mind holes of the youth of AMERICA! wake up people this is an INVASION!

[DarkApteryx]

@educatedwhiteman I lol'd hard xD

[educatedwhiteman]

@DarkApteryx lol? what is lol? liberate our land? good idea brother! Raise the flag and raise the rifles, moma america we taking you back

[SecretService80]

John F. Kennedy being born there makes it awesome, and I'm from Illinois.

[tnthoennes]

@SecretService80 I am also from Illinois, but MA is 100x better! I can't wait to move out there!

[bh5496]

thumbs up if you think that FAMILY GUY'S IS WAY BETTER! ;D

[MisterSenseless]

I seriously want to punch the person who wrote this... I'm originally from Mass and had I known that the cheesy motto on our license plates came from this I would have been embarrassed...

Go Red Sox

[himminy]

wow, what a horrible commercial. i guarantee peter griffin's version would get far more people to visit Mass than this crappy commercial would.

[nightskull23]

What ever happened to the original video?

[Power2theFlyingV]

lawl sodium, chair lawl

[painkiller1017]

Nice song! I m italian though and can t understand part of the song...

It' s a corner of america with .........It' s salty air, wicker chairs...and.....

the spirit of M. is the spirit of america, the spirit of the red white and blue!!!...and the it says the spirit we wanna share with you.

very nice song anyway! can someone tell me the complete lyrics?

[KSMCommander02]

I think I'm gona live there for 10 years

[kokonolike]

lol in the end we're all part of the greatest country in the world so who cares?

[hyelin25]

I'm a proud Massachusettsian (I've lived here for all 23 years of my life), and this state will always be number-one in my eyes and in my heart. The fact that this state embraces the arts, accepts homosexuals, bisexuals, and transsexuals for who they are, and educates millions of people each and every year makes it the best state in the entire country, in my humble opinion.

[RIEKSONE]

@hyelin25

at the cost of millions and millions of taxpayer's dinero

[lastdragon55]

@hyelin25 Liar...you know "Family Guy" brought you here. :)

[samthelegoman1]

@hyelin25 the part about homos, bis and trannies ruined your inspirational speech

[Tokopol]

@hyelin25 Don't forget they may get a waiver from PPACA in order to institute single-payer healthcare statewide.

[stephl349]

@hyelin25 You've lived in Mass. all 23 years of your life? Then doesn't that render your opinion worthless?

[Eztoez]

I kinda miss these old commercials from the 70s and 80s

great tune tho

sounds like something out of a Broadway musical

[darlingnikki79]

I can't believe that was a real commercial. Too funny. I thought Family Guy was being creative. Too funny

[youbestbequiet]

Hell no, Although after electing Scott Brown, you guys are catching up with the rest of America.

[maximum411]

@youbestbequiet

haha thats true

take it from a massachusetts resident, that was a shameful moment for all of massachusetts

everyplace has idiots though; it just seems like we have a few less than other parts of the country

[miles1145]

MASSholes in MA. What a loser state, ugly accent and ugly, obnoxious loser people.

[elsamuraiguapo]

The only loser states are red ones.

[exampleY14]

@elsamuraiguapo

fuck yes

[rot951]

scary add

[AndrewOdom]

In the minds of Texans, only. Here's to the original colonies...!

And after that election, the state is redeeming itself...

[tavinator76]

Texas is the true spirit of America

[Hanabol2]

hell no.

[stutterfly21]

@tavinator76 texan, you are on crack so hell nooo

[Hanabol2]

umm ew. no. just now. hes a republican and they don't know how to run a freaking country. bush drove us into the ground so im pretty sure scott will do the same to massachusetts. lets hope not though......

[BryanNC08]

After what's happened tonight I can happily say Massachusetts is the spirit of America. YES WE CAN AND JOHN KERRY'S NEXT!

[LEETYLERMUSIC]

You know it, baby!! BOOOYAH!!

[pdn49]

If I lived in Massachusetts, I would vote for Joe Kennedy, the Libertarian candidate who is not related at all to the Royal Blueblood Kennedy Klan.

[DocL33t]

family guy rocks!!

[Hanabol2]

I live in Massachusetts and it sure is the spirit of America! SO TAKE THAT ALL YOU OTHER LAME NORTHERN STATES!!!

[Hanabol2]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo. even though its over, martha coakley is soo much smarter than scott brown. AND republicans make a decision as 1 person not a group of people like democrats. so therefore in 2 years we'll kick his ass out of seat in senate and the democrats will once again rise to victory bitch.

[BryanNC08]

@Hanabol2

In two years? Are you fucking retarded? Senators stay in office for six years you moron. I really don't think you know what the fuck you're talking about you need to take a civics class like 20 times in a row.

[awesome220]

@Hanabol2 Stop sulking.

[rudylexi8]

[MysticdogTamama14WP]

@Hanabol2 YYYYEEEEAAAAAHHHH GGGGOOOOOOO MMMMMMAAAAAAAAA!!!! =D =D =D =D =D

[mountainwalrus100]

@Hanabol2 Bull crap. Have you ever heard of Maine? New Hampshire? Vermont?

I bet that when you go on vacation, you go to those states more often than you vacation in Massachusetts because those states are amazing.

Massachusetts has more to do with US history and that is why it is the Spirit of America. But as a tourist, give me Maine over Massachusetts any day of the week.

[wolfgangouille]

@Hanabol2 

[wolfgangouille]

@Hanabol2 It's still part of America. Go to Europe.

[DevonC90]

Living in New Hampshire, I support the Massachusetts sports teams. However, the Massachusites who go to NH to avoid sales tax are a pain on the highways.

[maladettolupo]

I knew I remembered that damn song from somewhere. I've lived away from Massachusetts for a few years now, so maybe it's just homesickness, but I got a swell of pride when they sang it on Family Guy. And the Lord said, "Go Sox!"

[Adam19822000]

I'm glad I'm too young to remember this

[aidankiller4]

i live in massachusetts, so shut the fuck up

we've got better sports teams and education than all of you western dicks

[jackbamm]

you know saying that makes you sound like an ignorant..

[sexydancerxxl]

Family Guy version is much better

[KalashnikovFinntroll]

live here why? most of it boring and sucks

[LLSamSam]

We called that number for our free Massachusetts kit, but the number has been disconnected = [ !!!!! Now when I go there, i wont know what to do!!!!

[MewWinx96]

heh. if you think this is rediculus nowadays we kidnap important people and hold them up in a big fancy boston hotel to get people from all over the world to vist. So they can at least get a small glance at them. (p.s. that was a joke don't take it seriusly.)

[hellarandom00]

I just watched Peter sing this on Family Guy HAHAHAHA!!

[blasianFMA]

LMAO ME TOO!

[muffeman]

IM NAKED :D

[adam1611]

i'm outside your window!

[muffeman]

The spirit of massachusetts is the spirit of america, the spirit of the red, white and blue! :D

[GalaxyKnight91]

Circa 1984.

[BlackHawk38]

0:04 Sodium Chloride rocks.

[benifox28]

this can't be from the 80s, the last shot is Google maps.

[fredfredburger2626]

lol its just the audio dude..

[LethargicYouth]

sodium chloride ftw

[ForHowManyCookies]

boston

[beastmatt101]

well kerrys a dick

[foofighter824]

Also where The Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre, Battles of Lexington and Concord all occurred. Fairly important in the creation of the country. And yeah, we were ALL beneficial and lucky that Bush got another 4 years.

[7Roland]

The Family Guy version is much better.

[morduro]

The Spirit of Massachusetts is the spirit of Ted Kennedy. The spirit of progress, hope and cleverness.

[BryanNC08]

Are you on cocaine? I celebrated Ted Kennedy's death. He was nothing like his brothers Bobby and John weren't radical liberals.

[foofighter824]

I take it you didn't live here. Man was a world class Senator. And you should probably read up on the Kennedys, who certainly were incredibly liberal for their time.

[BryanNC08]

I was born in Massachusetts, lived there for the first five years of my life and visit quite often thank you.

[pethead36]

ummm.... Chappaquiddick

[pethead36]

Explusion from Harvard College

[foofighter824]

I didn't say he was a perfect person. I said he was a world class Senator.

[ForHowManyCookies]

you?

[FGalaxie]

@BryanNC08 Like you arent a radical fascist i see?

[ullerichj]

LOL agreed with kanetheking

[kanetheking]

why is there so much debate on which state is best? because of this song?, you all needed to grow up and just enjoy the song or leave.

[supernova203]

LA- F T W :D

[TheFamilyguy419]

I'm from Georgia and i know that the Spirit of Massachusetts is the spirit of America

[Fiestainurpants1]

its funny all these floridians commenting and hating on massachussetts

you hate our state why the fuck would you waste time to even watch the vid nothin to do in florida? is it raining over there? cause its nice over here in Mass.

[gat0rbball]

lol....im doin it to rile up the people from mass....and its just me from Florida lol. Give a brother a break....its fun to watch people squirm. Its not like yall dont piss us off by sending all your old people down here to die.

[Gothorochimaru]

You ever been to Nantucket? That place is like heaven on earth. And I've had my fair share of Florida too, a lot of fun to be had down there.

[gat0rbball]

no but i knew a man from nantucket of the Mormon persuasion.

[BryanNC08]

The spirit of America?! I was just there fuck no it aint! More like the spirit of North Korea. Fucking taxes.

[awarner40]

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the most beautiful state in the country. It's beaches are extraordinary, and it has a real New England atmosphere. You Southerners don't know what you're talking about. Have you ever seen Cape Cod?

[gat0rbball]

LOL! Great beaches? Where? Next to the rocks? Come on down to Florida. We got beaches, fishing, huntin, scallopi, and more. Mass aint nothin to Florida or the southern coast lol. Of course, it is fun to rile up you massies lol.

[awarner40]

Next to the rocks!? You have no idea what you're talking about! Have you ever been to the Cape Cod National Seashore? Without Massachusetts, there would be no America! All you Floridians contributed was our worst president in history in 2000! Gore was treated unfairly!

[gat0rbball]

Aw.....Gore was treated unfairly...booowhooooo...cry me a river. It was all the old yankees down in south florida that caused that problem lol. As for the worst president in history....keep drinkin that koolaid there brother. Are you forgetting about who is in office now? Obamunism? Come on...Bush was a shity fiscal planner yes....because he spent money like a liberal. And Obama is doing the sme thing. So what changes has he made? Just curious.

[FGalaxie]

@gat0rbball being a centrist is bad is it?

Guess you Yanks want right wing dictators like the ones youve propped up all round the world

[gat0rbball]

@FGalaxie LMAO! You are talking from what? A european point of view? Yea yall havent fucked up the globe with the way your people drew maps for the middle east and africa.

[FGalaxie]

@gat0rbball Your people too, if youre white American YOU ARE EUROPEAN.

wrapping yourfself in plastic patriotism and a pissy 200 years of history cant hide the fact of what you really are.

Africa was a lot lot better under European colonial rule.

South and central America hasnt been better due to American meddling has it?

[gat0rbball]

@FGalaxie I am a white American...and my ETHNICITY would be of European decent, but unlike YOUR people mine weren't partial to boot heels on our throat and we got out. That is why WE control the globe and YOU do wtf we tell you too.

You missed the point...you bitch about OUR medlling when your people have a LONG history of fucking things up(and Africa was NOT better off. They were exploited as much then as they are now and yall drew lines at random just like the mid east). IDC about 3rd world

[FGalaxie]

@gat0rbball good one, Whites got out to make some money, not because of that freedom bs, When American isnt more free whan any other comparable western nation.

You control the globe, you mean the Jews and Waps that run America might, and every minority and poor sucker gets a rifle.

Parts of America are 3rd world, seen Detroit lately or Indiana?

Plus we gave those Timmys and Bobbys a run for their money Kaserine pass especially.

[gat0rbball]

@FGalaxie Really? So the pilgrims left because Europe was SO tollerant of their religion? The Irish came because western Europe just LOVED the catholics. Look you are on an indefensible position with this argument. Numerous groups came here to get away from persecution.

LMAO! Typical butfuck German. Blame the jews and other races. You actually believe that crap? Well first my government is run by anglos...not meds.

And we kicked ur ass in WW2. Yall had no PRAYER.

[FGalaxie]

@gat0rbball Yall? ffs can you get anymore Hick.?

Do you pay your bills only when its gator egg season?

Some groups went to America to escape persecution, then found it there again in America, as the WASPS dont want to give their slice of the pie up, Teapartiers ring a bell?  Most b3fore and After ww2 went for economics, when a working Joe could do ok in USA, not like now, where you die onthe street.

Little Asians in black pyjammas kicked your ass in Vietnam, and still you brag.

[gat0rbball]

@FGalaxie Yall isn't a hick term. It is part of the southern dialect. It has no meaning on my education level. You used FFS and mispelled pajamas, but I am not going to attack that because I am more intelligent than you. You think teapartiers are the only WASPs? They aren't. You mean they came to the US because your countries were shitty economically. I have yet to know ANYONE who has died alone(including 2 or 3 that lost their jobs). Actually little Asians in PJs died by the hundred thousands.

[LAWMANrackofribs]

@gat0rbball He didn't spell Pyjamas wrong. It depends on where you live. You both spelled the word correctly.

[qwertylaservisionguy]

Busch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[demonsrt4]

its so fucking stupid to argue about whose state is better...dumbasses

[Zyrog]

fucking massholes

[gat0rbball]

Lol this place has to make videos like this to attract people. Im glad i live in florida where all their people come. I dont have to pay a state inome tax lol.

[nedswebjunk]

Absolutely!

I mean, what's not to love? Elian Gonzales, hanging chads, Terri Schiavo, hurricanes every other damn year, and among the worst healthcare systems in the United States!

Top Notch!

douche..

[gat0rbball]

AHAHAHA!!!!! Thats why old fuckers from YOUR state and every other state in the North East move here every day? You realize there is a connection to mortality rates and the number of old farts right? Hey its ok though, my state contributes MORE to the US via taxes and tourism a year than yours does in a decade lol. Dont forget our Wonderful universities though. As for the hurricanes, BAH, you pussy. You afraid of them? lol. The green eyed monster musta got you bad. You know you wanna live here.

[Shortecorp]

your probally afraid of the blizzards in the winter  duh

[gat0rbball]

Funny since I love the cold. Matter of fact the snow i saw while skiing was kinda cool. Of course....if fear of blizzards is a common phobia up there, yall must have some manly men. Why dont you come on down here during the next hurricane?

[Valgrindar]

You also have the glory of being in life's end zone.

[gat0rbball]

Very good....we are where the old yankees go to die lol.
