Didn't you listen? It's not about geography. You can be the Florida Man you aspire to be, regardless of your whereabouts We can all be Florida Men, and this knowledge is what gives me hope and gets me through the day.
I’m so glad you pointed out about the Sunshine Act. There really are crazy people all over the country, and a lot of people who do crazy stuff under the influence. But Florida is still crazy.
If we could just split the place into 2 states, South and North, we'd be a little better. It's crazy all over, but when you're in South Florida, once you go north, you're in The South. Deep Red South.. and it only gets worse.. except for Disney World (which isn't all good either).
I know this is a joke but there are several reasons for all the whackadoo stories originating from Florida; besides 1)*being the third most populated state* 2) *being almost dead last in mental health care* 3) *being a home to many unscrupulous rehabs who participate in human trafficking (seriously), along with doctors who hand out opiates like Pez,* 4) our *open-records laws, AKA the Government in the Sunshine Act, means our batshittery is easy to find and exploit by national media/press.* (Since 1909, Florida has had a proud tradition that all government business is public business and therefore should be available to the public. That means all records, including photos and videos, produced by a public agency are easily accessible with a few narrow and obvious exceptions. Public officials are also required to open all of their meetings - even unofficial ones - to the public.) But that's not all! Here are a few other reasons Florida seems like a non-stop shitshow: *Our weather:* The Sunshine State’s subtropical climate has attracted everyone from voodoo priests to circus freaks to retired CIA agents looking for a warm place to chill out. With no snow to keep them cooped up indoors, Floridians are out creating mischief all year long. In the heat, tempers flare quickly and fights erupt over everything from cups of soup (jail riot) to missing shrimp (samurai sword attack and knife throwing). Our judgment is clouded by the humidity and we tend to reach for any weapon handy-machetes, lawn gnomes, even a 3-foot alligator. There is also a huge amount of cultures mingling about, all with different ideas about manners and behaviors *Our geography:* Florida has long been the end of the line for people fleeing their past. We are the state of second, third and fourth chances. But once they’re here, most folks discover you can’t really get away from your past. In the 1920s, after Carlo Ponzi was busted in Boston for running the original Ponzi scheme, he fled to Florida -where he was caught running a real-estate scam. *Our history:* Floridians have been stubborn and strange right from the start. In 1845, when Florida joined the United States, the first flag that flew over our capital bore the slogan, “Let Us Alone.” Florida’s cattle-herding settlers didn’t cut the same romantic figure as the cowboys of the Old West. Artist Frederic Remington described them as “low-browed cow-folks” who would “shoot and stab each other for the possession of scrawny creatures not fit for a pointer-dog to mess on.” *Our people:* Since World War II, keeping Florida’s economy afloat has depended on maintaining a constant influx of new residents, prompting The New Yorker magazine to dub us “The Ponzi State.” We went from being the least-populated Southern state in 1940, with 1.8 million residents, to nearly 20 million now - and 95 percent are crammed in within 35 miles of the state’s long coastline. This human tsunami rapidly altered the state, bringing in the young, the old, whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics and a host of other census classifications, all bumping up against each other, ramming into each other’s cars, loudly objecting when their neighbors’ dogs pooped on the lawns. *Our guns:* Floridians hold more concealed weapons permits than people in any other state - more than 1 million. We also lead the nation in the rate of accidental shootings, in part because *Floridians tend to regard guns not as weapons but as magic wands you can wave around to make problems go away.* The most powerful lobbyist in our state capital is the great-grandmother who represents the National Rifle Association. She’s responsible for writing the “Stand Your Ground” law that’s now been copied by many other states. So yeah, basically we are a bit odd, but not that much worse than other states, but because of our open records laws, our crazy is exported in the form of funny headlines on the daily.
"basically we are a bit odd, but not that much worse than other states" Oh good.... that means people in the other states are almost as crazy. Now I'm even more afraid of what's going on in the USA.
I seriously wonder if there isn't a water-borne brain parasite down in Florida. I'm a biologist, and parasite ecology is something of a hobby. The subtropical US South has historically been full of parasites that people could get infected by simply by walking barefoot on bare earth in the days before in-door toilets and laws that forbid to put raw untreated sewage out into the fields, so the worm eggs would be spread over the moist ground and the tiny adult worms bore their way into the soles of the feet and make their way into the intestinal tract where they cause anaemia through bloodloss. Swimming in amoeba-infested waters is also a great way to pick up "little friends" that can infest the lymphatic system or brain. Or get tapeworms by eating wild animals or undercooked meat. Or breathe in tiny eggs from animal feces, including house cats, if they are infected. A lot of parasites can alter body or brain chemistry in their hosts. Or just form a cyst in the brain.
@Franz Farmer Not only that, but the northern part of the state also gets cold weather. Cold enough that it snowed last year in Tallahassee. It feels like such extreme weather. And some seasons are impossible to forecast. Like, every summer, I swear it's my last one, then fall comes around and I feel great. Then summer comes around again and I feel like im on the verge of appearing in a newspaper. It's maddening. Fucking Florida!
Dude... that's totally accurate. Gators move about in the middle of the night down here and they can climb chain-link fences. Even retention ponds have them.
When I stayed at Clerbrook RV park and golf resort, where only two of 18 holes _don't_ border ponds, a smallish alligator at the edge of a pond had my golf ball in its mouth. I hoped the critter would drop it as I approached. Nope, it took the ball right down into the pond. I didn't care so much about the ball -- I was concerned that the gator might eat it. That can't be good for them. I hope he/she thought it was a gator egg rather than food, and was instinctively rescuing it. I played that hole several times. Alligators were a regular sight.

Meth? That's rather biased. We also had flakka. Bath salts. Of course crack. And powder cocaine for those purists. Are you forgetting beer? It's the state beverage.

Honestly, this segment is brilliant, because I was laughing along with the joke so much, then at 5:14 I actually began to see the very real social issues contributing to something that seems more tragic than I realized. A suddenly densely populated state with mostly-forgotten, struggling, semi-rural areas. I know where I'm from at least, everyone bought a Florida house when it was cheaper there, and moved down there to retire, or just kept it as a shore rental. That was about 10 years ago, when I was a kid. That's really sad, actually. So a lot of the better-off Northeasterners are somewhat responsible for this chaos.

Florida man is just a variant of the even longer running "area man" joke used by the onion. With the added benefit of being from one of the trashiest, craziest places in the world, whose very mention stirs connotations of absurdity. Florida is like, if venice beach were a whole state, everyone was perpetually drunk instead of high, and there were a bunch of alligators around for some reason

Yeah it's the sunshine act, but also they glazed over how Florida is ranked 49th in the US for mental health care. People who have mental health issues and are poor get zero help. Even in small towns the streets are filled with homeless people. Social services are pretty much non-existent. Tax is low in Florida which is great if you are rich, but sadly everybody else gets thrown away.
They did mention that... and the way she dismissed the first dude when he said mental health issues wasn't meant to seriously dismiss those, it was meant to make fun of the way the US doesn't treat mental health as a serious priority in general.
*I'm not FloridaMan material. I know better than to vote republican, don't drink salt water, and don't look down the barrel to see if my gun is loaded.*
I heard a funny observation: Florida is the only upside down state. The further south you go, the more northern it gets. And the further north you go, the more southern it gets.

With the added benefit of being from one of the trashiest, craziest places in the world, whose very mention stirs connotations of absurdity. Florida is like, if venice beach were a whole state, everyone was perpetually drunk instead of high, and there were a bunch of alligators around for some reason
Been watching this piece periodically for a year and a half and it finally just dawned on me what a brilliant job Desi did.
SPOILER ALERT - If you haven't seen it all the way to the end, skip this comment: Desi discovered Florida Man lives in every state and as a Texan I can promise my state steps right up and delivers more than our fair share.
Lived in Florida for 14 years and I can definitely say there are some batshit crazy people there!
as opposed to nyc, hands down weirdest place i've ever lived.
The first dude was really quite good-natured
what makes someone a Florida man? Budweiser and crystal meth
Don't forget bath salts.
Budweiser?...maybe on special occasions, most likely natural light. Lol
PBR
PBR & PCP.
🤣🤣🤣
I love how Beer Run Alligator Guy has just owned it. "Yeah I'm Florida Man"
"Na-nana-na-naah-Alligator Man!"
"That is 100% the McDonalds jingle."
"Well it's the Alligator Man Song now!"
I love this man! :'D
HavCola tanks I was trying to figure where I heard that
So has anybody seen Laurence Fishburn lately?
Her segments always slay me! She’s funny af. Keep ‘em coming!!!
Thank you. Thank you, Daily Show, for shedding light into this......dark....dark.....DARK Sunshine State.
You think that's dark you should listen to TA3OO
excuse you. stay where you are
ikr@@mychaeljones7526
I was so expecting mention of the Sunshine Act, and at first I was frustrated it wasn't mentionned, when clearly it's the main reason. Thanks for doing good journalism
2:10 *I do the wrong thing in the right way*
Dead 😂😂😂😂😂
Desi, you’re awesome. I actually learnt something and I couldn’t stop laughing at your delivery. It’s a great balance that is tough to do, and you do it brilliantly. I love you!
I do the wrong thing, but the right way! You get what I'm saying?! 😂😂😂😂
He was in the wrong place, but it must've been the right time...
Alexandra B 😂😂
As a Floridian I totally got what he was saying 😂😂😂
+Rahr
Math problem wants you to find x but you go and find y, you did the wrong thing, but without mistakes you actually find y, so you did it the right way
@@expatsinpakistan1598 Now I understand why I never understand people here. Time to go back to wherever.
Did anyone hear the news clip that said 'a dog shoots its owner' 😂
Yes 😆😆
Florida Dog???
Yep, it is totaly normal to shoot at the sun 🤤
Jannis K***er didn’t the Greeks do that a few thousand years ago?
@@TGears314 We better not start using the Greeks as a litmus test of what's normal!
Vastly preferable to shooting at anything else.
@@TGears314 since when have guns been around for thousands of years?
Stand your ground! That sun wouldn't stop coming at you, despite a warning.
"this nerd knew a lot about florida man..." lol
Every time there is a weird crime, I always cross my fingers that it's not Florida Man, but alas, it always is
I like her salute to The Pirate Man at the end. That was nice!
It helps to have alligators handy,and that people from other places,who are strange to begin with,want to move there.
@Exterioris-vallem Because it was written in a language understood by most. Did you graduate from elementary school?
@@stacythompson1384 i think most people, just hate floridians, and so they agree, with other opinions, just to prove a point
florida is, not so bad, the weather is nice, women are pretty, oh poor florida
@@economicalovereem5833 I lived in Florida for about half a year when I was in the Navy so I have been there. It was the panhandle though so I think I missed the bulk of the insanity. Lol The fire ants were fun to play with.
It's mostly that, but as John Oliver pointed out, it's also because Florida is America's capital for unregulated drug rehab clinics.
People from florida know whats up
👍🏼
✌🏽
It's all that sun
🧡
😎
I am streaming tears right now this was so funny! You should not watch something a second time and laughed just as hard as you did the first time.
"To be a Florida man, you must first be a Florida boy!" LMAO Why does that make so much sense!??
I cant wait for Floridaman in the new Avengers.
That would be too OP. That's worse than adding Superman.
Loki: I have an army
Tony Stark: we have a Florida man
Who else watched this, fearing they might see a relative?
Tragoudistros.MPH hahahahaha so funny 😂
Lol me
My mother's my sister kind of thing
David Guelette wtf
🤣🤣🤣
Hey, as a Florida man I can confirm all this is true
A pure Florida man knows he both "can nor cant confirm any talking tale " he just nods
Native Florida man here. This is 100% legit.
Every state needs the Sunshine Act!
I'm not going to lie Florida pirate man makes a lot of sense
he looks like a mix of a bike rider and a pirate
W flakes St. Augustine Florida is basically Pirate City. I know. I live there.
Only one thing worse than a “Florida man” a “Florida Woman”
They make ya crazy...
@evol1 Uhm Karens are actually everywhere?
Yeah, at that part I was like "so what, the other 49 states don't have women? or they don't drive you crazy like Florida Women do?" :D
Thanks. As a Florida transplant I was feeling so left out. I'm a go feed my gator in peace now.
@evol1 That's cuz Florida Man can't remember names. He calls us all Karen.
This is great. I love Desi.
The first guy was definitely my favorite. He stated alcohol was a major contributing factor while downing a beer.
Lol
Summers are pretty hot and intensely humid and the sun bakes your brain
1:40 Why is Florida my number one, covering his Beavis and Butthead T-shirt??
Karate kicking swans? Florida.. so I'm not even surprised.
Pirate: to become a Florida man you must first become a Florida boy
Me in tears: so poetic, perhaps I treated you too harshly
Now the United States is a giant Florida man, with our current presidents lack of leadership comparing this pandemic.
New York Man
We found one lol
Lmao that was hilarious. Desi is great.
"The truth is: there's a little Florida man in all of us". 😂😂😂😂😂
"Florida, God's waiting room."- a line from Family Guy
Yeah, but that refers to all the old people living there, not the batshit crazy Florida Man types.
@MICHAEL GOLD yeah, Family Guy steals a lot.
Desi is one if not the best comedic interviewers I have watched. very funny. 👍 👌
Yeah it's the sunshine act, but also they glazed over how Florida is ranked 49th in the US for mental health care. People who have mental health issues and are poor get zero help. Even in small towns the streets are filled with homeless people. Social services are pretty much non-existent. Tax is low in Florida which is great if you are rich, but sadly everybody else gets thrown away.
They did mention that... and the way she dismissed the first dude when he said mental health issues wasn't meant to seriously dismiss those, it was meant to make fun of the way the US doesn't treat mental health as a serious priority in general.
This girl is just amazing! Why, she's the new Desi Lydic. And, all my personalities love her!
My new motto in life "do the wrong thing right way"
Amazing, hilarious interviews. Thanks Desi! Award worthy for sure.
*I'm not FloridaMan material. I know better than to vote republican, don't drink salt water, and don't look down the barrel to see if my gun is loaded.*
It's OK to look down the barrel of a gun. Just make sure it's the correct end.
Hint: It's not the end that the projectile comes out of.
That black man definitely ain't no republican. We Florida folk just crazy.
But do you dance with alligators?
@@akilasmith6063
*only the super sexy alligators*
@@Splatzloki a Florida man with standards,are you even a Florida man at all?
The Alligator dance dance was funny AF 😂😂😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😂😁😁😁😁😂
this bit was funnier on the show Atlanta
(i gave u a thumbs-d, but now imma go ckeck out Atlanta.)
what's that!!! i wanna watch :P
Definitely, that episode won awards for the performances.
I know. They could at least pay homage.
The episode with Katt Williams?
Only the show Atlanta is allowed to discuss “Florida Man”?
Edit: th-cam.com/video/3vGgUoIexVE/w-d-xo.html ?
I LOVE the first man (the first alligator Florida man): so honest & sincere.
Of course the pirate is from Chicago lol
A transplant lol
I heard a funny observation: Florida is the only upside down state. The further south you go, the more northern it gets. And the further north you go, the more southern it gets.
So the conclusion is that the media is finding Florida man stories because it's easy pickings.
It'd help if most of the videos of stupidity didn't come out of Florida.
@@MrDeedsly indeed
Yupp
Dusk Dawg he from New York corrupt like them too
Its amazing. Trevor is already amazing by himself but he also has the best cast of people around him
Florida is a crazy place. I mean everywhere in the US is crazy but I think Florida is the craziest
Yes we are
@@drunkrob3514 No where not
@@kiDkiDkiD12 well considering I'm the first dude in the video what I say goes...haha but for real ain't nothin like us Floridians
I wanted to hear from the casually dressed nerd more.
“If there’s a lake, there’s a gator” lol true
I love Desi, she’s incredible and intelligent, thank you ❤
As a Floridian, I can (sadly) confirm that “Florida Man” is definitely a thing. 🙄
Born and raised in FL, and I can say this is excellent reporting
Florida man tried o start a fire with spaghetti sauce.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭🤗🤗 madr my day
I’ve never been so proud to be a Floridian being noticed on Trevors show
🤣
S/O to all my Floridians’ finally getting the recognition we deserve
Yup
"I do the wrong thing the right way." -The Florida Man. 😂😂😂😂😂
Jesus this was funny
That was great! Thanks for putting it together. You got an acting career, great facial expressions, as well as journalism. Keep it going.
