I guess you can live in Minnesota but don’t know shit, DRUNK Indians are not only confined to that tiny box sadly we live in all areas of the state. Also we’re not all drunks. Sorry to disappoint those who still believe that stereotype. Way to go Nick Johnson you gave a great high schoolers version of Minnesota…aye! 😂😂 I’ve never met a Minnesotan who says aye at the end of their sentences. I will not be subscribing not even a thumbs down of support.

Recently transplanted here from Illinois. It’s beautiful, there are so many outdoor activities and trails, etc. to support them. We were surprised at how friendly and welcoming everyone has been. Glad we moved here!

I'm impressed you knew about the differing lake definitions between MN and WI. Minnesotans have long been a little annoyed that WI claims to have more lakes. Every time it rains in WI the number of lakes goes up since they count every puddle. Vikings fans are a bit offended that Packers fans hate the Bears more than the Vikes. As many have mentioned, "eh" is more of a Canadian thing, although it might bleed over a bit in northern MN, kind of like how Canadians love to fill MN with their coins. I think it's safe to say that nearly all Minnesotans have, at some time, tried to buy a "pop" from a vending machine and have it keep rejecting one of the coins... only to find out it's a crappy Canadian quarter (with a hockey player on it).

I’ve lived in Minnesota all my life and love it.

We always rank at the top for education, being the healthiest state, and the state that boasts the most volunteers. We have pro sport teams, and a bustling pair of large cities seven miles apart that offer a lot for arts and music. To say “there’s not a lot to do around there” is way off base.

In regards to 'Minnesota nice', it does have some basis. It is very common in Minnesota that someone will let you go ahead of them in a food line. They will ask 'is that all you have', and if you say yes, they will let you ahead of them. This probably happens 50 percent or more of the time if your waiting in line with just a couple items. Also, there are many things put on the side of a road with a 'free' sign. Some people really do take 'Minnesota nice' to heart. I find it is the polar opposite of Florida where I came from.

My mother was from Buhl MN. She lived there in the 1920s and 30s. Some of the stories she told about Buhl were amazing. I was there in 1966 and 1996 and saw a major decline in that city.

Minnesota native here - despite this video being four years old now this is SHOCKINGLY accurate. You got a new subscriber!! Though one thing I've heard is everyone who comes from out of state say that it's really hard to make friends here because everyone sticks to the hometown they grew up with and stays friends with the same friend group from middle/high school. That *can* be true and I used to be that way, I did stay friends with my same friend group from middle/high school but then I moved away from my hometown of Orono back to Minneapolis and got involved in the roller skating and circus arts community. I made a whole new batch of friends and many of them are out-of-state transplants. So if you want to make friends in Minnesota, you HAVE TO have a hobby that you do regularly to meet people. The good thing is - there is strong community in Minneapolis/Twin Cities and if you get involved in a club or activity you can make REALLY great lasting friendships. And people in Minnesota are extremely welcoming to transplants unlike many other states. Also, we don't say "eh" but the "o" accent is absolutely a thing (listen to a Minnesotan say "coat" or "road" or "boat") and whenever I travel people instantly know I'm from Minnesota even though I don't think my accent is that bad 😅

I worked there for 2 weeks a while ago. I'm from California and Minnesota is damn beautiful. I partied in thier uptown and down town Minneapolis. Seriously it's better than downtown LA.

Hey....Any state where the trees END at the western suburbs of Minneaplis....is an abomination against nature!

I love all areas of Minnesota, and all 4 seasons. I enjoy the cultural diversity, not your stereo types. There is always humor in extremes and you can find them here. This is a beautiful place to live.

I've lived here most of my life and I gotta say this is mostly accurate especially that HOTDISH! As far as things to do, Minnesota is uniquely full of things to do. Unique as in you just have to go out and make your adventure rather than find it on a brochure or an ad on TV.

Lefse is awesome! It’s a Scandinavian treat made from potatoes, flour, butter, salt and sometimes cream. We will top it with butter, cinnamon and sugar and sometimes jam. It’s hard to stop eating. Also the taking an hour to say goodbye is called the long Minnesotan goodbye. We don’t like being rude, so we will allow the conversation to go on until till they are done.

great video!

This was pretty good. 💟☮️ Bob Dylan is also frpm MN and we still love him too.

How could you forget the largest lake on the Mississippi and birthplace of water-skiing! 😭 ... lol but for real laughed pretty good at this. Most of it was correct, yeah we're special ... personally I blame the cold for our craziness but thats just how we like it 😜

If you move to Minnesota. Be prepared for 8 months of cold gray gloomy weather. Followed by 4 months of hot humid weather.

I thought the winters were sunny?

I lived in Minnesota for 4 loooong years. I was dragged there kicking and screaming in my junior year of high school. My Father was transferred by his corporate masters to Eden Prairie. It was the worst experience of my life. The summers, however, were great. All three weeks of them. Otherwise, it was a living hell. I used to pass the winters by joining the slack jawed snowbillys as we drank too much and stared at a hole in the ice. My Dad bought a Kickass, Yamaha snow machine as an appeasement gesture, but then it didnt really snow for the next two years. Got the hell out of there in 1990. I can still remember the dirty snowbanks on the side of the road as I drove out of town in APRIL.

At least you have a positive attitude about the place to some extent. I myself find this place insufferable no matter what time of year. 6 months of ice, blizzards, -40 wind chills and darkness followed by another 6 of hellish humidity, vicious hordes of insects and violent storms...but the booze flows and you can drink yourself into a stupor while you sit in front of a hole in the ice and listen to lectures about sports and jesus...but I digress.

You did well to mention Sorel boots!

Thanks, interesting and entertaining. I'm actually thinking of moving there.

Moose hunting is illegal in Minnesota, and Bear hunting is tightly controlled, Also the Twins cities metro is about two thirds of the population.

I've lived in MN all my life. Your video was very entertaining!!! I have never eat a hot dish or spam--I guess I should move

Nice info, thank you.

I live on a lake in the "trees and lakes" zone of Mn. I can ride my vintage snowmobile to the grocery store and just had tater tot casserole for supper on Monday. It really does take us an hour just to say our goodbyes!

So interesting that you minnesotans are still Lutherans. We Scandinavians are also Lutherans, just by tradition though, as we don't go to church unless it's Christmas or someone's wedding or comformation/babtism. The churches struggles to get their benches filled, as we have become less and less christian throughout the years.

I was born at North Memorial Medical Center, Minneapolis, MN in 1965. We lived in Crystal, MN until 1975. We then moved to Wadena, until I joined the USMC in 1987. I will always be proud of being from MN!:) Semper Fidelis

Because of this video.. I chose Minnesota for my LOA.. Thanks for this 😍

Actually a Minnesota goodbye lasts from 1-3 hours, although a few time my family have stretched that to 6 or more hours

There are pretty much two ways of life in MN. The cities and everywhere else. They each talk crap about the other.

Ok good to know

I been living in minnesota for 6 years moved here with my family as a kid. I would say it sums my state up pretty well i haven't left my suburb of saint paul much. I have been through the farmlands and i have been to hinkly likely gonna live there cause the 49ers our local heavy equipment union has their training center their and the people are nice when you get to know them i lived in my little town for a while and gotten to know people.

C'mon! Minnesota's not lame. It's relaxing and beautiful. I grew up there and never even heard of 'fiske' whatever until after I moved. It is cold and lots of bugs though. I always found things to do that were probably better than being on my phone all day. In San Diego now and miss it horribly. Mabe I'll get a vacation cabin here. 💖💖💖 Minnesota though!!!!!
