- What is Pennsylvania? Yeah yeah, it's a state. Or commonwealth. Whatever. But what is Pennsylvania REALLY? And how does it fit within the American experience? It's a weird, wonderful and whelming place. Welcome to Regular State Reviews: The State/Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!

Pennsylvania: The official state of scrapping a mechanically sound car because road salt ate through the frame and it won't pass inspection.
Ohio is worse (it's where all the salt is mined), but there's no inspection, so it's a 40% chance every morning on the way to work that you'll be stuck behind a clapped out 1999 purple Chrysler minivan with a rusted through axle.
Sounds like Ontario as well. That said, inspections only occur when vehicles change hands.
Makes me glad to be from minnesota and iowa, all the shitstorm of winter's effects but no inspections or emissions
You think rust in PA is bad, you should see the cars in rural New England!
You all suck ass- NY from the I-90 area north is the land of ham level brining AND endless winters AND yearly inspections.
This is filmed like an old-school RCR review, without the small clip of a copywritten song.
The random shots of Mr Regular taking a dump and drying his socks with his car heater really did it for me
That's what we were going for! I even brought my dusty old GoPro out of mothballs because it's not as nice as Brian's, and it captures the cheaper, older feel of classic RCR.
@@RegularandRoman Not a Car!
And the title card with the big blue borders
@@RegularandRoman nice
As a polish person, it seems to me that Pennsylvania is the Poland of States. Fire station wedding parties is the most relatable thing I've heard from Brian and I've heard plenty.
Makes sense since this state has a high Polish population.
Lots of Polish and other Slavic people immigrated to Pennsylvania to work in the coal mines and steel mills. Their descendants may not speak the language, but we retain a lot of the ethnic character.
ohio more so but yeah
Michigan - VFW wedding receptions
@@craig7299 LMAO when I lived in Florida that’s the entire Fort Myers set
I died when he said "we have all four seasons, and they're all RAGING"
In Northern New York we have four as well:
almost winter,
winter,
still winter,
and construction.
"The traffic cone is practically the state plant"
that might be your best line of all time
It's so true, they are everywhere, and nowhere is safe.
I would buy a RCR t shirt that just said Pennsylvania with a traffic code on it
Michigan already claimed that
Scarily accurate
'Tar Snake' is a new one on me. Oh, I see them all the time (I've even seen them being made) but I had no idea they had a name!
Ohio is literally Pennsylvania’s B-sides
Live there. Can confirm
Truth
Lol that's hilarious
What would the A-side of Alliance be?
Man, I wish I wrote this line. Jealous.

Pennsylvania, the official state of "how the hell did they build a house there?"
Architect: Where do you want this house build?
Me: On the side of that 60 degree hill with a 45 degree S curve driveway.
Architect: *sighs* Fine one common wealth special coming right up.
Or why?
@@Noonecares_AT_ALL There's also, I'd like my front door so close to the road I need to look for traffic before opening it.
@@Noonecares_AT_ALL sometimes I look at where the houses are built and I just don't even understand the logistics of how they got the building materials to that spot
@@olivertwisted I'm in Pittsburgh and in the Mount Washington neighborhood for example they have both, the houses are right on the street with no front porch and the back is a sheer Cliff drop off
I’m disappointed he didn’t mention to have reliable phone service you need every carrier
Growing up, cell service was something the "big cities" had.
Every time I visit my hometown in northern PA I remember how absolutely terrible just about every utility and service is.
I remember when I was in like middle school, being so excited that my grandma bought me a prepaid Virgin mobile flip phone for Christmas because it had a camera and an antenna that went up only to end up returning it like a day later because I had zero service at my house. Even in college in north central PA, I had boost mobile and it was generally ok-ish if I was standing outside but going into almost any building meant I was going to get little to no service.
@@texastim63 "College in north central pa"
Are you a fellow Mansfield University alumnus?
@@MrC0MPUT3R Close. I went to Penn College in Williamsport. One time I did get really bored and took 15 up to the NY border, then turned around and went home so I did drive through Mansfield once.
@@texastim63 I'm going there right now!
Such a beautiful and relatable look at my home state. It fills me with the “I can make fun of it but no one else can” type of pride that I feel inhabits most Pennsylvanians.
I feel the same way towards my home state of Florida. I can shit talk it BUT NO ONE ELSE CAN OR ELSE I'LL FEED YOU TO MY ALLIGATOR.
Its very strange having my home state given som much attention, i feel almost called out
@@jorgeroque1995 I feel the same way about my home state of New Jersey except I'll feed you to my C.H.U.D.
@@harryhorner5365 Yeah but everybody talks shit about NJ and it is completely warranted. Any state that doesn’t allow you to pump your own gas or make a left turn deserves the hate ;)
@@shisno314 Yet, the gas is still cheaper. BTW, you may want to keep your distance from manholes and storm drains! :-)
“Delaware is a road to get to a better beach” oh I’m gonna love every minute of this
As a Marylander can confirm Delaware is like a nasty cancerous growth on the side of our state
@@The-e Historically, I'm pretty sure Delaware was part of PA, but we cut it off because, as you said, cancerous growth and whatnot.
There are no regulations in delaware, and while this sounds nice, what happens is that your entire state turns into a strip mall polluted by nothing but Applebees, Dollar Generals and payday car loans.
Yup. Slower lower Delaware should only be a thoroughfare to the beach.

"It's cold."
The sun literally tried to kill me today.
all in a 24 hour period too
I will never get over how accurate, we have 4 seasons and they are raging
Are you Mario?
as a full-blooded Pennsylvanian, I agree with this message.
It's not Alabama in between Philly and Pittsburgh, it's Pennsyltuckey
facts
I call it both.

Na, its "Bumfuck Egypt" I coined the phase after getting lost on one of the many backroads getting off i81 before GPS was affordable.
Omfg well I right
"We're the most southern of the northern States." Accurate, though I'd like to add that we're also the most midwestern of the eastern States.
Nice and true.
"Accurate, though I'd like to add that we're also the most midwestern of the eastern States."
Explain.
@@jonathantodd6953 Western PA is basically the start of the Midwest which should surprise no one who knows how most of the country got to the midwest early in US History. There's a reason the the term "Gateway" is in the name of a bunch of things in Pittsburgh.
The Midwest is just a split on the tree of evolution from Pennsylvania. Look at a map of largest ancestry per county. It's a German explosion from Pennsylvania out through the Midwest and plains states.
Pennsylvania is a lot like Wisconsin.
5:45 A stand-alone Wawa, without the pumps is simply referred to as a Wa.
From a pa civil engineer, thanks for explaining that freeze thaw wrecks our macadam and we gotta fix it all the time
I mean, also building on cities as old as this country doesn't help either. Norristown still has Brick road underneath the asphalt in some parts. You can bet Philly most definitely does... that's not even to account for every time a water main bursts...
ive been saying for years a lot of yankee states would benefit from going back to dirt and clay
I am laughing way too hard at roman eating at the trashcan. Those dudes are at EVERY WaWa
It doesn't matter what state either. Kids do this In NJ too
I'm that dude 😆 I don't like to eat in my miata it's too smol
And the odd part is it's only Wawa. They don't do that at QuickChek.
Oh yeah, give me that inter-state trash talk and stereotypes
Eastern Pennsylvania (Regular Half State Review) -Signed a Western Pennsylvanian
I was going to mention the same. This was a nice review of Eastern PA.
west pennsy is just a mix of new york and ohio isnt it
@@clonetrooper576 pretty much.
I'm from Chile, and found this fascinating in the same way Marmite is fascinating.
unlike Marmite it's actually good though, several hundred year old tradition
@@victorkreig6089 marmite is good tho. You only need a bit on a piece of toast with a load of butter and it's like msg paste
Mr. Regular's description of Tastycakes makes me deeply happy.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who puts the cupcakes in the fridge!
TastyCakes - my Dad was from trenton ,NJ & he dug them flat cakes called tasty cakes!!
Nobody bakes a cake as tasty as a Tastycake!
My uncle moved to San Francisco from Philly in the 90's, he had my dad mail him boxes full of those peanut butter cakes every month for a few years. When he came back his car was FULL of the wrappers.
All the way from Texas....
Tastycakes > before they changed up their recipes. Shhhiiihts too sweet now
"Pennsylvania. The official state of firehouse wedding receptions."
I felt that in my soul
Too close to home, too near the bone
Too real
So true. If you live here and haven’t been invited to one; one day you will be.
Yup, did my wedding there, with the DJ playing "electric slide" for the older set. Filled up the bed of the F150 with water, pumped it through the unused AT cooler for a hot tub.
At first, you do shit like this ironically; eventually, you just do it.
“I’ll talk about PA but actually barely anything at all that’s west of Harrisburg.”
I’m from Pittsburgh, and I totally agree with you. Here in Pittsburgh, we have Kennywood that has the fastest roller coaster-The Thunder Bolt. We have “pigs in a blanket,” which is stuffed cabbage rolls. We have more bridges than any other city in PA. Of course, we have our own language that outsiders will need a translator. And so on and so on...
There’s something west of Harrisburg?
@@johngreco4934 thunder bolt isn’t the fastest roller that’s king da ka in New Jersey but it isn’t even the fastest in pa which is skyrush
@@dylanpage4106 not to mention it can't even begin to encroach on Knoebels. Also Stuffed cabbage rolls is nothing special at all. In philadelphia with a massive polish community we just make them and call them by their actual fucking name Gołąbki, or galumpkis. LMAO thinking you have some regional dish thats actually incredibly common...pittsburgh you guys try so hard to appear like you have something.
Well yeah, he did say that.
Your slow descent into confused madness at explaining PA liquor laws and the logistics of how beer is sold was *chef’s kiss*
From an AT hiker
Pennsylvania: the official state of ROCKS
Rocksylvania
There is a park called Boulder Field. It's an entire field stacked with boulders.
@@tigerslashii7097 Hickory run!
So happy he mentioned the AT. Hikers hate the PA AT as much as PA ppl hate PA.
And hicks. And drugs. And corruption
You boys sure are opening a door to a potentially enormous project ahead of you. This should be your second book. Sufjan couldn’t do it, could RCR do it?
I actually thought of Sufjan when I started writing this and thought, "There's no loving way we do all 50." Right now, if nothing else, the goal is to continue to occasionally review different things that aren't cars. First was the shopping cart, then Pennsylvania, and I think next will be a book or something along those lines.
@@RegularandRoman This video really benefited from your knowledge of PA as locals and your clear love for the place. I don't think other states would be as good without it...
@@RegularandRoman Sufjan style project and book or not, RCR-esque state reviews by locals sounds like a pretty awesome genre to explode on YT. I'd love to see it happen
@@RegularandRoman I’d love to see a regular state review of every state in the US.
@@RegularandRoman If you go for it and want a life long (51 years) perspective or info on Iowa I'm your point man.
I want this done for all 50 states.
Not shoddy work either. I want a charismatic local from all 50 to do this for their respective region. Maybe you can do two or three as relative to how isolated your state is from itself.
You're definitely going to need two for Oregon and Washington, as our east and west sides are the same state, but I swear they're different countries.
Oh have i got some shit to say about 2 certain Interstates for Texas. ESPECIALLY I-35
@chiefkeef74 Oh no. OH NO. You are NOT taking this from me. That is MY gig, and you're taking my "DFW may as well be off-road only" from my cold dead hands... which is also calloused and blistered from the steering wheel jittering in my hands.
That last line really hit me. I've lived amongst the numerous cornfields of York, PA for all but a few odd months of my 27 years. No matter how badly I sometimes wanted to leave, or after the times that I actually left; it always felt right coming back. I've really grown to appreciate this state and all its flaws/quirks. After all the great people I've met and the great times I've had here, I'm not sure I'll be leaving anytime soon
"This state sucks."
"I'M NEVER LEAVING!"
"I hate it here but I hate other places more"
I'd rather live in Pennsylvania than Ohio.
Not a chance in hell of ever wearing a stealers or eagles Jersey!
I'm actually at my limit, I lived in every corner of pa, and in NYC for a bit, think I'm gonna try Nevada out next.... Idk yet
This also works for New Jersey, where we all complain but we all stay, partly because a lot of the time when we leave we see Pennsylvania and get scared straight.
PA -> Thailand -> PA -> Thailand -> PA -> MD -> PA -> Hopefully back to Thailand for good in September.... but my record speaks for itself...
Speaking of Centralia; my Dad always describes PA as, "like a beautiful woman with a horrible venereal disease."
🤣😂 TY , made my day lol
That's pretty funny. I like to describe it as the arm pit (or ass crack) of the US.
Also, you fail to mention Turkey Hill and their iced tea. That stuff is liquid crack. Years ago, when it came in cartons, I had a buddy that built a giant pyramid out of them. Took up most of his bedroom.
Your notes on Sheetz are on point, BUT, Wawa's secret (and seasonal) weapon is The Gobbler! I get one every year. 👌
Sheetz is better but there is almost zero arguments against going to Wawa instead if that makes sense
And the Pittsburgh equal to Turkey Hill, Turner's.
Fr, Turkey Hill iced tea goes dummy hard
Having grown up in upstate NY I found it mildly surprising how similar PA and NY are. (excluding NYC and its surrounding counties) But still distinctly different from New England.
Grew up in upstate NY (Hudson River Valley/Albany) and it's true. Similar rolling hills/smallish mountain terrain and similar economic decay, huzzah!
Well upstate NY isn’t part of New England, so the similarities to PA make some more sense
The cows have not been discontinued, thankfully! They got moved to the beginning of the ride and have multiplied.
AWESOME! This is tremendous news.
The addition of the Singing cows to Chocolate World was controversial. My Favorite part was always the roasting Oven and the Choco Liquor mixing.
this is the most accurate "review" ever seen. and I've lived in PA for 48 years. Scrapple is awesome if cooked properly.
Slice thin, cook till brown and crispy. King or maple syrup optional.
As someone who grew up in upstate NY (Utica), I appreciate the video shots of driving forever and not really getting anywhere 😆
All of this is like scuffed Germany 😅
Some of the midwest is definitely scuffed germany. (I'm from wisconsin)
Makes sense considering the existence of the Pennsylvania Dutch or as most people know them, The Amish.
One time a Wawa cashier wearing an anime neko face mask Nya-ed at me because my friend was wearing a Mazda Miata t-shirt with Japanese text on it 😐
Average Wawa experience
I dunno that sounds cute. Unless it was a dude with a beer belly.
I got rick rolled in a wawa
I have never seen a better use of that emoji
That, that sounds about right lmao
Alternate title: Mr. Regular expresses like for holes filled with cream.
Mr. Regular: “It’s cold and always under construction.”
Me a Pittsburgh resident: Yeah that seems about right.
Its really amazing that any small PA town across the state could fit in anywhere. They are copied and pasted across the state so that every where feels familiar yet foreign. Its a special thing thats hard to describe to someone from out of state.
That's really true, all the towns look exactly like other towns you've been in but yet you can be 3-4 hours away it all is the same but different
But no matter what Pennsylvania is beautiful. When the weather's nice and it's not too hot or too cold to do any outdoor recreational activities, which is 70 percent of the time
Weren't they all built by the same coal company?
Oh man I really want to hear you rip New Jersey a new one
Pfff...New Jersey. The only state that makes you pay to leave its border.
You can't insult NJ because everything bad you can say is true.
@@lasercorn2399 us locals know how to get out for free
Ah, New Jersey and Ohio...The armpits of Pennsylvania. I say this with love for my neighbors and jk. Kind of
New Jersey is the Ohio of eastern Pennsylvania.
"...or an SKS if you're one of THOSE dudes."
lol /k/
I’m a Rutter’s guy given the option. Especially for the Kunzler dogs with the potato buns. And the coffee…and the tea…and the dairy. Yeah…
Rutters coffee is most definitely better than Sheetz and a little better than Wawa. Sheetz coffee is tasteless crap.
I always say out of wawa and Sheetz I prefer Sheetz but rutters tops both
Turkey Hill, checking in.
I love Regular's old-man-yells-at-cloud Delaware rant
The thing about sheetz is they DON'T DOUBLE STACK PUMPS
And they don't play ads on the pump screens while the gas is pumping like Wawa does. And Wawa slows their pumps because of said ads
@@TekuTaurus try hitting the buttons on the sides of the screen. Sometimes one of them is a mute button
A recently constructed Sheetz in my town has double stacked pumps, we may be coming to a Sheetz Renaissance soon
Double stack pumps? Like multiple levels of gas pumps? People just park on top of each other to fill up or?
@@jonathanryan2915 They disabled the mute button at wawa. its fucked up
Yuengling lager. That is my favorite PA export.
Yet it will always Burn us PAers to cross the border to OH and be able to buy Lager cheaper than in Pottstown.
@Yosef Cardoso Yuengling Black & Tan is the one!!??
“Welcome to Pennsylvania, pursue your happiness... so we can heavily tax it”
Not as BAD as NY!!! I live in NY upstate!!
Lol (Painfully True)
PA fuel taxes are insane considering the roads are still shit
@@corvettefunstudios that’s cause 6.2 billion went from the transportation fund directly to the state police fund. Now they’re saying we’re “broke again”
Good to see the Welsh name survived, it would thow me if I ever travelled through, "have I gone back home?"
Excellent sir! You didn't even acknowledge that there is a part of the state above I-80! Perfect!
hey!
I feel like LanKISSter county deserves a whole review on its own sometimes
You mean LAN-Caster?
There's something about Mr. Regular's pervading cynicism and silver tongued quips that really makes the heartfelt, poetic moments that much more so. I didn't think an edutainment video about my home state could hit so specifically.
Gonna need 49 more of these, subscribed and waiting. Thanks.
I was due to visit PA from the UK last year, that was bumped to this year due to COVID. It was bumped once more to next year. I’d like to think this was destined to be so I could consume this primer before I go. Thanks chaps.
Everyone is armed, drink yuengling, make fun of New Jersey. All you need to know.
If you do go in mid-october, in peak leave change season. Philly is my fav east coast city, unlike NYC, DC, or Boston there is still an old-school gritty feeling, as if the residents kicked gentrification right in the balls.
Pittsburgh is fun, cheap and given that they decided to build a city on a bunch of hills quite unique and beautiful.
The state parks and state forests are underrated gems.
What time it year you coming? The state is fun if you know where to look.
@@TheFirstVonGunther Or if he goes to Pittsburgh, make fun of Ohio.
@@TheFirstVonGunther That’s Philly. In Pittsburgh we make fun of West Virginia and Ohio.
Pittsburgh resident here. This is really good, but also still biased toward Eastern PA stuff (which I can't hold against you, since that's where you're from, but still).
Things you're missing:
Fries on sandwiches/salads
"Yinz" and all its variants
Ubiquitous Steelers jerseys from August to February (and the rest of the year too, really)
Kennywood!
Edit: Going to a bar and seeing old timer yinzers, hipsters, and tech bros in the same room
Also, come to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, dammit! It's like cars and coffee but better!
Might be biased, but he's still from PA. Means only we Pittsburghers can rag on him!
I lived in Pittsburgh for a couple of years to go to art school at the turn of the millennium. I hated it. But that’s mostly because I hated life in general. Now I miss it dearly, and would defend Pittsburgh over Cleveland 99 times out of a hund- 99.
I like Ohio less and less every day.
^
Agreed, Kennywood and Waldameer, the great Western PA amusement parks!
I'm up in Erie and will be at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix as every year.
In Erie, we call all the Pittsburgh folks coming to Presque Isle, "Mup-eers" as you are "up here" from Pittsburgh.
As someone whos lived on both sides of PA it's more central biased because otherwise in the park section he'd have mentioned Dorney, or just going over to jersey. Also, WaWa vs Sheetz, the short is which did you walk in first. Also, we're the best state for not knowing what to call a carbonated drink. Soda, pop, soda pop, just a Coke Pepsi, or just naming the drink directly.
Philly the land of Jawn, wooder, hoagies, and jimmies, and a city thats so passionate about its football team that it can't pronounce it right.
Pittsburgh the land of Yinz, buggies, Steelers Steelers, and oh god more Steelers country and terrible towels, god save you if you like the browns.
and Erie, it exists. the perfect stop for crimes because you're two hours from Pittsburgh Buffalo and Cleveland. Presque isle is very pretty but not in winter because it's buried in 10 ft of snow.
As a european, I found this video extremely informative and pleasant to watch.
Damn it. I was doing fine until the end, then I started to tear up. I haven't lived in Harrisburg for 40 years, but now I miss the place. After all these years I still "red up a room", "go wading in a crick", and my mouth waters when I see pictures of scrapple.
Your closing speech just did it for me.
Would be awesome to do a series on the rest of 49 states and maybe DC.
They've had two lifetimes to build up material on PA.
I don’t think they know enough about every state
Ohio New Jersey and Delaware would just be hit-pieces. Not that I would be disappointed in that outcome.
On one hand, I'm scared but curious about their take of Maryland.
On another hand... I kinda want to try to write a RCR-style script for Maryland.
They could damn near just rehash the first half of this video and call it Virginia.
As someone who has lived in PA my whole life this is pretty much 100% factual
Mr. Regular- as a new resident of Hanover, Pennsylvania, I absolutely love your channel. I spent the first nearly 50 years of my life as a Maryland resident but I came up here quite a bit, my mom's side of the family is from Cambria County. A divorce and remarriage brought me here, my 1 hour commute to Baltimore for work has me listening to your hilarious regular car reviews all the time. Please keep up the good work, you are greatly appreciated 👍
I grew up on a small horse farm in CT. My folks and I would go to Lancaster every year to buy horse supplies. We always ate at Shady Maple. I haven’t been in years, but it brings back fond memories of a simpler time .
Hunting season in PA sounds like the fourth of July.
It pretty much is, without the fireworks. Everyone takes off, even if you don't hunt, and everyone has their stories of going hunting with their grandpap for first day back in elementary school.
It is a bigger holiday up here than independence day. I can tell you the story of my first hunting trip with my grandfather all these years later.
I've had to explain to foreign customers I work with the importance of the first day of deer season and that it's the most important holiday of the year. I don't even hunt but take it off.
Yep, when you get back to school after that day, there’s a seasonal question of “You get anything?” If it’s known you come from a family that hunts, it’s as common as “You go anywhere during summer break?” “What did you get for Christmas?”
It really is. Schools are closed and work may be closed, people are out and about before the crack of dawn, and right as the sun rises the fireworks go off. 😂
0:32 Ah, I missed those Roman intros
I stopped doing the intros for the car videos because it was taking too long to get to the actual video, and I want people to get straight to the good stuff. But I'm happy doing the outros now because by then, the video is over, and it's almost like an end credits sequence. It's really nice!
@@RegularandRoman yeah I figured that was the reason why. I was still glad to know that you didn’t get rid of them entirely and instead moved them to the outro only
We love you Roman. Wouldn’t be RCR without you.
@@RegularandRoman huh, I never saw it that way; the intros were short and sweet, emphasis on the sweet
As a Midwesterner who found himself on the east coast, sheets and wawa are both good and they are something that quick trip, here in the Midwest, aspire to be. Also, Pennsylvanian is the mid west of the east coast.
I grew up near Erie, but haven't lived there since i was a teenager... It's amazing how much of what you're saying still connects with me...
"Pronounciation guide for outsiders"
Gives Welsh and English names for two of them.
"Reading"
British people: well yeah how else would you pronounce it, duh
@@matthewgibbons4525 reeding or reding
After watching this, living in Colorado feels like Diluted PA, same people, just instead of east coast sensibility, replaced with West Coast Flamboyance. all the way down to the rich ski towns.
I'm a Colorado transplant from PA I really feel this video
Agreed, I live in pa, but went to Colorado a lot when my friend lived there. Back then weed wasn't recreational in pa, I described Colorado to my friend like pa but with bigger mountains, legal weed, and overrun by hipsters.... Now the only difference is the mountains
Proud Pennsylvanian native and this perfectly sums up all of my complicated feelings on my home state that I am not good at putting into words
I was waiting for a mention of Lancaster for the whole video, but when you said "if you like both, city and country in one place" I got really excited because I knew you were talking about us
Great place if you like trains too
That bit made me insanely happy, because he mentioned Lancaster WITHOUT talking about the Amish. All anyone ever knows us for is the fucking Amish. I know this guy's really from PA because he knows what Lancaster is actually like, which is the intersection between east PA city and rural Pennsyltucky, not just a bunch of Amish villages.
Busted a gut at the delaware bit hahaha
Straight up i remember moving out of PA in my 20s and had legit culture shock seeing cold beer and singles at gas stations.
At least we get that FINALLY.
@@ryang1591 honestly I still dont feel great about the idea of cold singles at a gas station, but ya its nice to pick up a 6 pack on the way home.
I remember when I was young my mom would always have to take me into our small town beer distributor, I would call it “the cold room” and call the workers “the beer man”. All fun in games until she took me into Walmart and I saw a guy carrying soda can boxes and yelled “that’s the beer man”. Poor mother 😂
“People sick of hearing about the office” is an intensely accurate way of describing my home area
“First day of hunting season, school is closed” a wave of nostalgia hit me, and I also recall having to explain it to my friend from Panama
A “beer garage” is the best way to describe where we can buy beer
I would die for Middleswarth chips, the BBQ is the best one
We have the same thing here in Ontario - the LCBO which up until recently, only sold wine and spirits, and "The Beer Store" where you got the beer.
The thing about the LCBO is that their wine selection is REALLY GOOD. Way better than in the private stores in New York state.
4:11 I now need to try Dr Pepper BBQ Sauce for no other reason then the fact that it exists.
it's really good tossed on their chicken strips!
It's good shit. I had some with mozzarella sticks and fried Mac n cheese nuggets at Sheetz today
That alcohol legislation sounds like one long trail of afterthoughts 😃
Imagine talking about Pennsylvania amusement parks and not mentioning Kennywood. Kennywood is literally a major amusement park with some of the greatest coasters on this side of the US. The phantoms revenge came in second place for the best roller coasters of all time this year. Great video though!
What do you expect, he's from the east side of PA, they know nothing about coasters, storied NFL teams, and a hockey team you don't have to be signed up for AARP to remember the last time they won a championship... the Phillys are better than the Pirates, not really a high bar though.
@@Cocpain good point 😂
The only place I know of that a Wawa and Sheetz exist on the same road within one mile of each other is Schoenersville RD, Bethlehem.
Some of the newer Wawas have outdoor seating, the Granite Run is one of them.
Seeing roads I drive on in the b roll made this all the more special
I was once doing a scavenger hunt with this group I was a part of, and as a part of the scavenger hunt I went into a Wawa, headed to the counter and asked the clerk "Hey, sorry to bother you but, could I get directions to the nearest Sheetz?"
The clerk started laughing and a manager-seeming fellow who was standing nearby looked me dead in the eye and said "Get the hell out of my store."
It was beautiful
I keep thinking about those cool spring and fall mornings. The air is crisp and cool, but the sun is warm. The pictures of those lancaster roads took me there. And now I just want Pie.
Pennsylvania: the official state of needing back surgery after driving for 30 minutes on a country road.
A whole PA video with no talk of RUST. Lol love what you do
Getting stoned before going through Chocolate World brings back High School memories. Didn’t have the singing cows back then though.
Pennsylvania: The state that in the winter you’ll see enough flipped over cars you could make a James Bond movie
Some touristy things I'd recommend are train museums in Lancaster, Altoona, and Scranton, which has one of the 8 remaining UP Big Boys. The PA Lumber Museum in Potter County is nice. Cherry Springs State Park is great for star watching, plus PA 44 is a fun drive. And the Kinzua Bridge, which was destroyed by a tornado, is definitely worth the visit while you're up there.
What they don't want you to know is that Delaware doesn't exist.
Except as a shell corporation.
As I'm moving to PA in August, this is actually helpful 🤣
Welcome to our awesome state!
Are you from NY or NJ?
@@randy438 oh
@@gondolagripes1674 That's certainly better than either NY or NJ I guess
Welcome to the commonwealth. Hope you have AC
ignoring erie is the most pennsylvania thing you could've done
I learn so much about the genuine America's culture in all the videos of Mr. Regular, and laugh while doing it. Thank you!
I’m gonna have to ask you two to just go ahead and review the next 49 states as well.
This was an epic review and format.

In the liquor segment I wish you would've mentioned how the Whiskey Rebellion took place in PA...can't mess with their liquor man 😁🍻
Lived outside Lancaster for 22 years. I do miss it but a weeks vacation there fixes that
The fantasticness of this whole video is overshadowed by the photo of Roman with THE NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR.
I live in PA’s hat, NYS, and driven through the Keystone State more times than I can count. Pennsylvania is the only state I’ve traveled, and I’ve crisscrossed 46 of them, where I, swear to god, drove through a construction zone INSIDE of a construction zone. It was literally a construction zone that popped up on Route 81 between Scotland (town of, obv) and those huge car auctions that I can’t remember if they’re in the eight minutes it takes to drive completely through Maryland (those who know will be like “yep, narrowest part of the ray gun state). As in, as is PA’s way there is construction somewhere on 81 and has been since it was a Native American trail that lasted two-three years and then, while transversing the state as I do almost monthly a construction zone popped up inside the already happening construction zone. That is totally a PA thing.
sounds about right
Yup, my 4 mile commute to work on back roads has two construction zones right now. It wouldn't be a PA summer without them or a fresh layer of tar and chips with not enough tar to glue it all together turning every road into a gravel rally stage.
"Hershey park, that costs money"
I added my day at Hershey vs a day at Wild Kingdom. Wild Kingdom was cheaper.
I moved here from Texas last year and everyone here always talks about wanting to move from here to Texas. It's beautiful here, has everything I need, good camping, and yes definitely feels like home.
i love mr regulars comments on pa, i live in SE pa, and all the things he talk about are so familiar, its like talking to a family member
Well done good sir, nothing else has ever made me feel so proud to be born and raised in this imperfectly perfect commonwealth.
Pave the roads with Flex-Seal!
I can't believe no ones thought of that yet! or maybe they have and penDOT put a stop to it.
@@hunterj.730 Pennsylvania: if the entire Texas stretch of I-35 was a state.
As someone who was born and raised in Southern Missouri, this video is incredibly interesting. I've never been to Pennsylvania, but this video makes me want to visit someday and see everything the state has to offer.
Pennsylvania is such an underrated state. my grandma was born and raised in York and i’ve loved every time i’ve ever been to any part of PA.
