"Florida man rants about Florida being increadible for 9 minutes"

I'm from Florida, but have lived in NC for most my life. The last time I went to Florida I saw a rather muscular man aggressively pumping weights by himself in a home depot parking lot listening to horrible techno music on blast AND NO ONE BATTED A SINGLE EYE. That's what I love about Florida, you can be as weird as you want and people just accept it as facts of life.

When I lived in FL there was a well known homeless guy everyone called the dancing bum. He was this hippy looking old guy with long white hair and a cane who would hang out in Tampa at a specific stoplight. When the cars stopped he would dance his heart out with the cane back and forth in front of the cars. All the locals knew him. I don’t remember him asking for money or holding signs, he would just dance his heart out with no music. One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

I'm a FL native, St.Petersburg specifically, went to Dallas this past weekend. This one uber driver said "people here talk about FL like it's paradise, it sounds like heaven." I started laughing hysterically. Good luck finding a job that pays just enough to cover your astronomical rent that is astronomically getting worse because people keep moving here because they hear its paradise.

being a police officer in florida has to be one of the most hilarious but yet dangerous jobs you can have

"Florida man charged with assault with a deadly weapon after throwing an alligator through a Wendy's Drive-Thru window" Still my favourite on so far. Also "Florida man bursts into Ex's delivery room, fights new boyfriend as she's giving birth" is a close second

In Florida you have to assemble your getaway vehicle.

i'm so used to watching charlie on 2x speed that when i clicked on this video and it played at normal speed, it felt like he was on the most experimental sedatives the Russian Federation had to offer

I really like to imagine that the guy that stole the electric scooter started putting it together in order to use it as a get away vehicle, but he grossly underestimated just how long it would take to construct it and decided to just stick it out.

The most hilarious part of the first one, is that after he completed the build process, he would need to charge the damn thing before he could ride it anywhere.

"Florida man steal 1 million $ in milk" Me: Dad is that you?

The fact that Charlie is from FL actually makes me have hope for humanity strangely enough

It's worth noting that Florida's Sunshine Laws are what make this possible. All government records are available to the public and media immediately after they are recorded. This includes all local, county, and state hearings and arrest reports. This is unique to Florida and provides all these stories. There is a story of a reporter from Ohio who moved to Florida for a new job. During his first week, he made a records request regarding an arrest that had recently happened. After that first single request, he would receive a daily email from the local police with every arrest report from the previous day...this went on for the remainder of his career in Florida.

Florida Men take “where there’s a will there’s a way” to a whole other level

stealing a scooter from target and assembling it outside target is like robbing a bank then going into that same bank the next day and try to deposit the money you stole

Was not born but raised and I have to say, living smack dab in the middle for more than half my life really makes me consider what opportunities the afterlife can bring

Florida deserves an award for its cultural impact on the world.

As a fellow Floridian, I love living in a constant PvE zone.

"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long (and you have burned so very, very brightly Roy)"

I currently live in Maine, and I’ve lived a whole lot of places. I do seasonal work in Florida and I have never witnessed such insanity as I have driving on 200, working in peoples homes in the highlands, and walking through downtown Sarasota. God bless Florida, and I mean that because they need the blessing down there. Be safe y’all and remember to drink water.

My favorite Florida man story was about a guy who educated his rival about the anatomy of a gun

This also explains Charlie's fear of flying, like a video game character who has only unlocked Florida so far

As a MilkMan, that one hits close. We should really start putting locks on our back doors at my company. I’ll mention that to my boss. Edit: $10 per Carton must be a mistake unless it was Heavy Cream, Egg Nog or something expensive. Perhaps it was $10 per Crate, which holds four gallons or usually nine half gallons each.

I remember an internship I did where I stayed for some time with a host. Ine day the host had over a friend in their 60s and it was the friend’s bday. When asked how they celebrate, they said they’d dpend the morning meditating on the Akashic Diaries and then in the evening chill on their boat partying with a bunch of younger women. Then they left in a sportcar with a giant teddy bear buckled into the passenger seat. Place is wild.

That second has to be the most loyal and ambitious dad I've seen. Not only actually gets milk, $1M worth of milk.

Fun fact: According to Legal Eagle, Florida doesn't necessarily have more crazy stories than other states, it's just that the information is more readily available due to differences in laws around handling of criminal activity.

As a Floridian, I can say with confidence that Florida is indeed a crazy place

I was born and raised in FL and just moved to Georgia. I miss fl so much it's wild bro!! I miss the beach, the random mentally ill homeless people yelling at me I MISS IT ALL😭

He was obviously just making sure it worked and didn't want to dirty their floors. What a good citizen.

When I was a kid living in Florida, I watched a man throw a 4 prong pitchfork and hit a water moccasin that was chasing his wife from about 10 feet away. I think about it all the time because of how mind blown I was 😂

I mean maybe he had a long walk and was like shit lemme take a piss in Walmart, walked passed the scooter on the way and thought, shit no more walking for me

Florida man in his natural habitat doing his Florida thing.

I'm a FL native and nothing surprises me. FL is so packed with diverse communities you literally have every walk of nature here. I saw a guy other day while I was in my car driving he was coming towards me on a bicycle towing a male torso of a mannequin behind him. Only in Florida.

with those dudes getting arrested for stealing milk, it truly is possible that a kids father went out to get milk and never came back

That company has 6 employees working at the same place with the same idea to make an intricate heist......

i work at a nursing home in florida and we haven’t had milk cartons due to a shortage. i chose to belive this is why 😌✋🏻

As an escaped Floridian, I enjoyed all of these stories as it keeps making me smile. Good to see a Florida man updating me on how the craziness are doing in my home state

Ive lived in Florida for about 5 years, it is an amazing state not because of its education, safety, or whatever. it is incredible for it's wackyness and honestly it feels like a Yakuza game, everywhere you turn you'll get a side quest from a meth addict inside of a dumpster. truly one of the states of all time.

I admire Scooter-Man’s dogged determination to finish the assembly. We all need that kind of moxie.

I moved to West Palm Beach from Kentucky in 2012 and moved back in 2019 and there’s no place I would rather be on this earth than in Florida, as crazy as it may be

There's something so wholesome about the most recognizable Florida Man ranting about how awesome Florida is in a dry monotone.

This needs to be a regular thing on the channel. Those 10 mins went by so quick. I dont think I could get tired listening to tales of Florida Man.

Many thefts like that get distributed cheaply to small stores, but even still that's a ludicrous amount of inventory to try to pilfer.

Building your own getaway vehicle

I have to visit Florida annually due to my family living there. What surprises me still to this day is how I always witness about 3 people a day blatantly running red lights during the worst traffic on earth. Place is nuts

I think the best thing showing how insane Florida is is driving into Florida. There's an immediate shift as soon as you pass the sign saying you've entered the state of Florida, suddenly everyone accelerates by 40 mph and starts cutting each other off. It's insane.

Oh my goodness the story with the dairy almost made me pee myself. The way you explained this has been the funniest one yet to me lol

That moist sign in the back gives me mad nostalgia and I don’t know why

There was a story in Sweden, like ten years ago, where some guys imported tons of garlic from China to Norway. They then drove over the border to Sweden to sell it off on the cheap. This was to circumvent some EU import tax. They eventually got caught by the border control because one of the officers thought that the truck "had a slightly garlicky smell"

Been needing a good "Florida is crazy" post from Charlie

I googled florida man and my brother's birhtday and it said "Florida man arrested for having sex with a miniature horse on multiple occasions 💀"

Charlie is the only thing keeping Florida from collapsing, his pure strength and courage is enough to keep *almost* everything in order

I am from Jacksonville, FL and currently live there. Recently I was stuck behind some idiot at a traffic stop, who had 10 chances to go and wouldn't. I got annoyed and honked my horn. He turned around and he had a key board duster can in his hand and was huffing it. I politely backed up and went down another road.

that’s the same target i go shopping at regularly, not much out of the ordinary here

I love Atlanta mid summer when it's 99 degrees and 100% humidity lol.

I like to imagine Florida Man being our real world equivalent to the Avatar. Every time a Florida Man does something weird and gets arrested, the Florida Spirit immediately finds its way into the body of the next Florida Man

First story reminded me of when I was in middle school and two guys stole two bikes from our schools bike rack in the middle of the day, and even better, in the middle of recess when there were students outside. One of my classmates got them on video and a teacher called the police. The police found them behind an abandoned store literally across the road doing bike tricks. Still think about them once in a blue moon.

i live in florida and the dollar general right next to our house on the same street had an armed robbery on easter

I’ve been to Florida one time and when I went I saw mostly flat swamps and a house every few miles, but then immediately a city lol

I swear being a Florida man is both a blessing and a curse. South Florida is hot as hell but at the same time you see a lot of crazy shit and get a lot of good stories, and this is coming from a guy like me who lived in south Florida for over 15 years. 😂

i’m from maine and i’d love to go to florida just to people-watch. no disney world, no orlando studios, none of that tourist shit - i’d just find a bench in a public area and sit for a while

I was born and raised in Florida. Never realized how wild it was til I moved to Colorado 10 years ago.

That second video takes "I'll be right back just getting some milk" to whole different level

That opening Monologue about Florida and how much Charlie loves living here deserves the same panning shot as Hiccup's "This is Berk' line in How to train your Dragon

Ex-dairy grocery store worker here. There are four gallons of milk per ‘carton’ or the square plastic things that say do not steal on them. Still, $2.50 for a gallon of milk from a strange sounds like a long strange trip

Whilst I was on vacation at the Keys, I saw Jimmy Johnson at a grocery store. This was a few years after he left Dallas Cowboys coaching gig.

Florida is like a mythical world from a fantasy novel. We have the beaches with rich condos, rednecks in the northern lands and panhandle, a magical castle and fantasy land in Orlando, swamp lands in the Everglades, and retirement villages. Oh yeah, and a sex community in “The Villages”. On top of all of this, we have an ex-president who is indicted for multiple crimes living in a golf resort.

Can any Floridians agree that Charlie just has the type of comedy that we all are used to in our own homes because he’s a Floridian? Like the way he talks about topics is so relatable to growing up in Florida, the jokes, the similes, the stories, the fast food he orders. I was born and raised here and still living here as well, same age and it’s like he’s one of Florida kids we all grew up with!! Legend!

I'm actually shocked that he was even able to understand the directions enough to at least partially assemble that scooter

Florida man: "Did I steal it? Yes. But hear me out..."

Stealing mass quantities of super perishable items has been the go to crime for many heists lately

I'm so used to Charlie's presence in my life I always have to be remembered he is one of those dangerous and unpredictable species called Florida Man, that's where his power is from

What Charlie and the rest of America may not understand about Florida is that the only reason you hear so many stories about Florida is simply because of the extreme transparency of Florida’s public records laws. Therefore, anything bad that happens in Florida, you can find right away and even sign up for updates for. With all the extreme details included in perfect clarity, all for the benefit of every Floridian’s right to know what’s going on in their community. Something the rest of America should look at as something to aspire to honestly.

I'd like to believe that there is a little Florida Man inside each of us.

This felt like a fever dream I didn't want to wake up from. 😂

As a former denizen of Florida myself, I saw quite a lot of interesting things during my short tenure in the state. I fondly remember going to Kmart off of the 441 in Hollywood and seeing a man arguing with someone because they didn't have a tee shirt he wanted in his size. I remember him flipping over an entire clothing rack in sheer anger, to my sheer amazement. I remember some lady at the nearby Burger King threatening to stab a cashier because her coupons were expired. There was also the story of the Shenandoah Rapist being persecuted and I think they were looking for him for weeks, I don't remember. This was back in 2006, all I remember was one of my teachers telling me to make sure my doors were locked at night. Oh and there was this one time where this guy was running away from the cops and he ran right past my house. He was arrested four blocks from where I used to live. The guys next door to use tried stealing our Cockatiels and stole the whole neighborhood's Trash cans after Hurricane Wilma, I got into a fist fight with this one kid in middle school because he said he hated my spongebob shirt so he attacked me for no reason and some girls were arrested for indecent exposure down in Miami Beach because they thought playing volleyball with their titties out in the open was a good idea. That was the first time I saw a titty, the best memory of Florida I could have left with. Thaknfully I escaped that post apocalyptic wasteland but my aunts and uncles and cousins live there. One in Tampa, the other in Orlando and the third in Tallahassee, so I'm sure they have more stories than I do. Oh speaking of Orlando, when I was leaving the state I stopped at the Orlando Airport and they have this shuttle service straight to Disney that comes every like two hours or so... and I remember this family of five waiting around and the father was verbally abusing several staff members because their shuttle hadn't arrived yet and he wanted like a refund or something? As if the airport handles that. If it's a Disney shuttle they needed to take that up with the park, but it made my layover that much more interesting. Some kid tried stealing my GBA SP but I had the wrist strap on so he fucked off to the bathroom. Oh and there was a man shitting his brains out in the airport bathroom and screaming bloody murder in there, it was so bad that everyone else left, but I had to stay because my uncle is handicapped and needed help. I tried not dying of laughter with every fart. I feel bad for that man and still feel for him to this day. Those are but a handful of my experiences in Florida. I won't even get into the story of the one guy who tried robbing one of those blood bank donation busses for some reason. Though that was hearsay, it did happen in that local kmart so it might've been true lol.

Charlie covering Florida man needs to be an ongoing series.

Charlie’s runescape comments always make me laugh, but for some reason that comment about the grand exchange had me rolling 😂😂😂

"Were going to be underwater in the next 20 years" Fort Lauderdale: More like 20 minutes

Charlie is the Dr. Strange of Florida. Keeping the rest of America safe by guarding Florida's antics as much as possible.

Can any Floridians agree that Charlie just has the type of comedy that we all are used because he's a Floridian? Like the way he talks about topics is so relatable to growing up in Florida, the jokes, the similes, the stories, the fast food he orders. Legend!

For the milk when they said carton im sure they were probably actually referring to a case/crate and with the high price of milk right now they could easily move it through bodegas and such and make a pretty penny. Which is most likely what they were doing.

Charlie has blessed us with a documentary on his home country

i didn’t know i needed to hear “Milk Mafia” today, but i’m glad i did.

The video of the milk being stolen reminds me of the massive maple syrup heist in canada lol.

Probably the main reason why the Florida man was assembling the razor electric scooter instead of getting away with it is because his get away driver left off during the Florida man’s 5-star cinematic movie robbery.

*Florida Man begins analyzing and learning from other Florida men’s mistakes, becomes Florida God.*

Man he took that *"He needs some milk"* meme to another level

I watched this vid in Florida, all I can say is watching here is better than anywhere else

im from florida but moved a lot. and i live in texas now. both states are just wild.

I was born and raised in Florida as well. I lived across Tampa Bay in St.Pete. We always had a bit of the crazy, long before Florida Man was a thing. We usually blamed it on the humidity.

just for clarification, the milk was not $10 for a normal "carton" you buy in the store, they were selling the big stacking cartons for $10. Those hold 4 gallons each.

The milk theft is ridiculous! There's already a severe milk carton shortage affecting the milk industry

Hate that I only needed to see that target for five seconds before knowing it was the one I grew up around: I actually looked it up to make sure and yes, it was indeed my old county. I live in Tennessee now but I love regaling coworkers with the craziest stories I can remember hearing or witnessing

As a person who lives in Florida, I am truly amazed and interested in Charlie's POV and stories about the state.

Florida is the state to be the most ashamed of and the most proud of at the same time

Each time I get on i75 the thought occurs to me that if I just keep driving straight i can be free

The second story reminds me of the $18 million Maple syrup Heist in Canada

"Florida man breaks into house and makes eggs" is my favorite

Bro I’ve wished the grand exchange existed irl for so long now 😂😂
