Fun fact: in the state of Idaho all the 69 and 420 mile marker road signs were replaced with 68.9 and 419.9 respectively. This was not because the state government found them inappropriate or taboo but because people kept stealing them.

This man has the ability to take the most random of subjects and turn them into the most entertaining topics on the planet. Edit: insert “wHy iS tHiS cOmMeNt aT (X) mAnY LiKeS lOlOlolL” remark here also anyone gonna mention that added “now get out” to all of the welcome signs in the thumbnail 💀

What a bold move to put a giant ass on your welcome sign. -Huggbees, 2022

I have lived in Illinois my whole life, and just now I realized that the goofy line through the state on the sign forms Lincoln’s face

The fact that the Wyoming sign has several bullet holes just makes it all the more Wyoming.

Now here i was thinking "theres no fucking way the Alaska highway is actually in Alaska! It must be in Wyoming" but that sign changed my worldview for the rest of time. Thank you Alaskan state sign.

I drive across the Nevada - Utah border more than I'd ever like to and i just want to say: Nevada has a "thanks for visiting ✨️Nevada✨️" sign that is better than the welcome sign

As a Californian, I can confirm that we need to be stoped for everyone’s safety.

As a Texan I can confirm that “Drive friendly, the Texas way” is a hilarious joke.

Fun Fact: The Minnesota state sign was changed after we saw Kentuckys sign and thought "We can do better."

As a Tennessean, I’m glad to have been solely responsible for the creation of anime purely for the suffering it causes to many

Love how the slogan is “Virginia is for lovers” when the state name is two letters away from describing the average discord mod.

can I just point out the dedication this chad of a man went through going to every state only for a couple of seconds. Hands down hands down.

I love how every time someone is ranking states and they get to Utah they're like "beautiful state, beautiful art, beautiful highway signs, beautiful name, beautiful welcome sign, beautiful people, 10/10... still would not want to be caught dead in this state"

As an Oregonian, you are so right who the heck decided to make a poop colored sign in the shape of Oregon and put it on a stone shaped boarder that blends with the sign!! It literally does look like someone smeard their diarrhea over a stack of rocks and put fridge magnet letters to spell out Oregon on it!! God, what is wrong with my state.

As a Minnesotan, the compliments that our state sign received elevated my ego way more than it should have.

Fun fact: Before the death of Princess Diana, Indiana's welcome sign used to include the cheerful synchronization of word play and structural design mentioned by Andrew. However post-mortem, the queen herself requested the state to change their welcome sign as to not allude to the idea visitors were entering the now deceased princess.

As a Minnesotan, I can confirm that the glorious splendor of our exceptionally well-designed state welcome sign is the only thing that keeps me warm as I trudge through seven feet of snow to get from my living room to my kitchen, where I promptly get attacked by the local pack of roaming wolves. As I wait for the reindeer-drawn ambulance sled to arrive, I dream of the day when I may have the honor of being crushed to death by the 18-ton stone monolith that we are proud to call our state welcome sign. Once the ambulance sled arrives, I am informed that the nearest hospital is 20 miles down the river. Rather than paying the $72,500 ambulance fee, I opt to instead stuff myself into a barrel and float downstream. It's been about nine hours now, and I'm fairly certain I've overshot the hospital and contracted sepsis from the heavily contaminated river water entering my wounds. I'd leave the barrel if I could, but my legs have been frozen in a large block of ice. I fear that the DNR will find me, and have me publicly executed for operating an unlicensed barrel. Even worse, I may never see our positively breathtaking state welcome sign ever again. At least I won't have to pay off my mortgage.

I live in Rhode Island, so I find the incongruity of our state being referred to as "The Ocean State" somewhat overwhelming. I mean, during any given week in an average Rhode Island summer, at least one out of every three state-run beaches are closed to swimming due to either water pollution levels or fecal coliform bacteria levels.

I watched seven minutes of this video to be dissed “pffbb french.” And ima finish it cause goddamn hes not wrong 😭

Fun fact about Utah: Each Welcome To Utah sign has a different background depending on which part of the state you enter in. They show the nearest "cool" thing haha

As a resident of Minnesota, I feel great that you have complimented our sign. I dislike it when states and towns make their signs look corporate instead of getting the actual feel of the place.

Words cannot describe how badly I need the raw green screen footage of this video. If only for this God-tier pontential meme template 13:28-13:53

As someone from Jersey, I appreciate the naked contempt for effort of our old sign. You could practically feel the entire population telling you to fuck right off

"You could have made a great statement on how the people are IN Indiana" As someone who's lived in Indiana most of my life, I consider it less of a statement and more of an existential threat.

fun fact about the wyoming sign: that's the old one (but the new one is just as fun in my opinion). when they were replaced, a bunch of the old ones were auctioned off for like $35,000 or something like that and all the money was put into the road improvement fund. also the bucking horse's name is Steamboat :) as someone from wyoming, I sat through this whole video expecting a short and sweet "fuck you" and I was not expecting that much of a fanfare for our state sign. I am delighted

I moved from NY and spent a lot of time in CT because I was very Eastern NY. I remember driving back and forth and passing the awful "Welcome To New York: The Empire State" sign all the damn time and thinking "yeah, you're just as depressed as I feel."

What's even worse is that they don't correctly crop out some of the state signs, leaving the border with the corner with sharp corner instead of the curved intended sign

The sign when you're leaving Maryland is even better...it's all "Come back soon, we'll miss you" and it has big clingy girlfriend vibes

As a Virginian, I can confirm that you can't go five minutes without ending up in a civil war battlefield and getting shot with a musket ball.

That's strange. Being a West Virginian who lives by the state border so I get to see these signs a lot, every single one I've ever seen said "Welcome to West Virginia: Wild & Wonderful" with some beautiful artwork behind it. A shame that some how didn't make it into the video......

Fact: the flowers on Maryland's welcome sign are the national flower of Maryland. They are called black eyed Susan's.

as a wyoming resident, I can say that I am proud we have something good in our state. Even if it is just a metal sign with a couple of bullet holes in it.

"Ad astra per aspera" basically means "to the stars and even further". Or, in other words, "to infinity and beyond".

I swear my man picked the only New Hampshire sign in existance that doesn't say Live Free or Die

In Red Alert 2's intro when you open the game, you get to witness soviet tanks run over Texas' welcome sign.

As a Texan, I busted my ass laughing as well when I saw our sign. I was expecting maybe something like the classic Don’t Mess With Texas slogan or something but no, they had to choose literally the WORST aspect about this state and then blatantly lie. Or maybe it’s actually reverse psychology, basically saying “Hey outsider! You best drive safe here for your own sake, cause we sure as hell won’t!”

Seeing him stare in awe at the Wyoming Sign makes me feel just a bit more patriotic for my own State.

11:09 To be fair, that isn't the current Missouri Welcome sign. The current one has the sun overlooking either the Mississippi, or Missouri river, which is made from the "ss".

I cried when I saw the Wyoming board it was so beautiful

Thank you for recognizing the superiority of the Minnesotan sign over all signs! I've always taken pride in how our sign has more effort than we'll ever put into maintaining our state.

You just called Alaska 'Russia's detached foreskin'. I don't even know how to react to that.

as a californian, i can agree that we cant go outside our homes without catching on fire and ending up hospitalized with 3rd degree burns.

"Oh so that Georgia peach is on your mind." 😏

As an Illinoisan, I'm glad someone finally called out the Lincoln lie.

"Whoever has made this sign was probably high and whoever complained about it was probably too high to care." As an individual who lives in Colorado I couldn't agree more. Personally I don't smoke or eat edibles (or take any drugs outside of prescription) but I truly don't give a shit about our state's welcome signs despite how funnily ironic they are. If I could change the signs then instead of an actual sign I would put replicas of our demonic blue horse statue (glowing red eyes included) in their place and have them freak out every person who comes across them just like the real one freaks out every individual in our airport.

I've always been amused by the custody battle of Lincoln between Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana. I suggest each state has to offer up signs sharing their relation with Lincoln.

Ok but the way he made up a whole ass sign to make us think that Delaware exists?? Amazing *chef kiss* 3:15

I actually pressed my knuckles and sighed "oh no" when I saw Texas'. I've lived here my whole life and never saw the sign. Even on trips out of state for like, Bonnaroo or other festivals. I could tell my group made made it back to Texas because immediately everyone's driving became incredibly aggressive.

As a Kentucky resident, the horse design is cool and all, until you realize that every business in Kentucky has a horse as their logo. There is even a TRAIN Themed restaurant in my town that uses a freaking HORSE as its logo.

6:54 As an Iowan... I gotta say, you're absolutely correct. Something like half the state is just corn. Or corn. Or soybeans. Or corn. Aside from a few largeish cities, nearly everything here is either farmland, a rural area, farmland, a national park, farmland, or farmland.

3 videos of this man and i have laughed more than i have for months

As a South Carolinian, I’m disappointed that there’s nothing on our sign about the fact that we owe our whole identity to Palmetto trees being relatively good at deflecting late 18th century gunfire.

As an idahoan myself, I entirely agree with the move to tell people "tourism is okay, I guess. Just don't touch our stuff."

As a born and raised michigander... I whole heartedly agree with everything said about our sign.

I think Colorado was just like “fuck it, we got wood, let’s make it into a sign you’d find at a cabin or at a random convenience store 2 minutes into the state with an attached weed dispensary”.

As an Oregonian, the fact that diarrhea was the only thing you had to say was hilarious.

It was really funny how you dissected Mississippi for all it's flaws as a state, but did you really have to completely eviscerate Louisiana like that by simply saying "Pfft, French"? We in Louisiana will surely never recover from this

4:40 as someone who lives in idaho. We are definitely the most xenophobic state

As someone who is English from the UK, I found this very funny, thank you for the laughs dude! 🤣

Good God the Wyoming welcome sign is truly a sight to behold 🇺🇲 🦅

Can't believe you travelled through all of America for our sake. Thank you, Mr. Huggbees!

I went to California once, the commendation on that state in this video is completely accurate. If I was born in California, I would lean another language, get a passport and airplane ticket, and burn my birth certificate immediately.

As a New Yorker I can confirm every time I drive past the welcome to New York sign I sigh in disappointment. We thought it might be changed after Eric adams took office but he’s too busy letting people die in fires, imprisoning homeless people and (checks notes) getting rid of all the rats in the city by doing nothing.

I've been living in WI for at least 99% of my life and can confirm that "open for business" fits the state a bit too well, considering many businesses worship the private business law as if it's a bill of rights amendment more vital than freedom of speech and right to bear arms while consumers can do nothing about it but get paved on by these businesses edit: I did not at all expect this to blow up! the support from yall is music to my self esteem! thank you fellow, like-minded and cultured intellectuals! ^^

As an Oregonian I laughed so hard when the only thing you said about us was “diarrhea”.

I'm not even mad at the fact he roasted our Alaskan welcome sign after he said the woodworking was well done

21:21 yeah we're closed on Sundays because the packers are playing

Bold move of YOU to just shill for "Wyoming" like it actually exists. I'm onto you, Andrew. And as a Tennessean, you're welcome.

As a Utahn, I'll gladly take second place. Seeing as how the mountains are the only beautiful sight in this state, it's a good thing they chose to spruce up the sign with them.

Illinois just declared war on Kentucky with their state sign. And as someone who lives next to Larue County, I can tell they're gonna have a hard time.

The Ohio commentary was so hilarious, I almost died. I’ve just spent ten minutes trying not to choke to death. 10/10

That end with Wyoming was better character development and writing than Season 8 of Game of Thrones

That isn't even the only Indiana welcome sign. Normally the sign I see coming from IL or MI is "Crossroads of America" - admitting that nobody really wants to live in Indiana, they just pass through it going to better states.

I paused the video to figure out what typo you were talking about in the Iowa sign, and when I couldn't find one, my first thought was "oh, it's going to be a corn joke." Was not disappointed.

I’ve seen the Minnesota sign at night, and all I can say is that I loved the way it looked and it also lit up at night as well!

"Welcome to Florida; The Florida Man State" would honestly be the state welcome sign ever

The Wyoming bit was like a god damn old fashion ending with that choir as the screen slowly fades to black.

As a Marylander, my reaction to calling our flag ugly made me extremely hostile

You’re not wrong about Tennessee’s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hell, if you’re re-entering the state from Kentucky on I-65, you can barely see the damn sign because of the concrete barrier; at least that was my experience at the end of April. Loved this ranking. Definitely laughed my ass off 😂

So for anyone wondering Arkansas is called the natural state bc it’s the only state that has natural diamonds in it

1:27 the saddest thing is that half the people in Arkansas don't know what a seatbelt is, and the other half think putting one on will send you straight to hell.

14:17 That sign looks like the intro to one of those cheesy films made in 1996 that they used to show us in health class.

Still using this video to fall asleep almost every night 🌙

Having "Enjoy your visit!" On a state welcoming sign could be seen as them telling you not to move there in a sense

You've GOTTA turn the New Jersey laughing bit into its own green screen. Ideally with the "This was definitely made in New Jersey" included.

6:53 As an Iowan, I can confirm. The only appeal this state has is to farmers… can anyone, and I mean anyone, even if you don’t live in the US, try to give me another community Iowa appeals to. I beg of you. Please!

New Jersey’s sign looks like it was made in a prison by an inmate making 30 cents an hour

As a maryland native i am beyond offended at the insult to our state flag, which we legitimately worship and hang next to the american flag outside of our schools

You roast the state flag of Maryland but I can tell you as a marylander our state is probably more obsessed with our state flag than any other state The amount of "Maryland" themed gift shops we have here with our flag PLASTERED over everything is absolutely absurd. You cannot go a single day in Maryland without seeing somebody wearing something that has our state flag on it

when i lived in Wyoming in 8th and 9th grade, I am 57 now, the wind blew hard everyday. My brother and I were flying kites one day and we had to go in for the night. We tied our kites to the fence to see how long they would stay up. 30 days later my dad made us bring them in, he was afraid a truck might hit the strings. When we walked to the school bus stop we had to walk backwards because we would either get our face sandblasted or the snow would blow in your face

After 2 years I have finally reunited with this channel

This truly was a redemption arc for everyone living in Wyoming.

North Carolina may be the nation's most "military-friendly" state, but their state insurance still doesn't accept treatment for psychiatric conditions in soldiers or veterans caused by doing their jobs in battle.

the best part about virginias welcome signs is all the other nearby signs telling you what laws not to break while youre here and that youre being watched by the police till you leave.

As a person who has also lived in Florida for all my life , it’s completely accurate. It ain’t Florida without wasps, crackhead people committing the most weirdest crimes, alligator invested waters and a severe weather warning once a week.

To quote my friend "Indiana is so flat, you can see the Welcome and Now Leaving signs at the same time". She roasted my home state and I couldn't have been prouder of her lol

Always a pleasure to watch the states being roasted

as a wisconsonite i can confirm a giant simpsons movie dome is placed over everything on the weekends

I completely agree with the Maryland sign rating, cuz the only thing I did in Maryland was vomit on a trip to DC and some corduroys.
