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.
Same thing has happened down in Wilmington, NC. There’s a mile 420 sign on I-40 not even 10 minutes from a big college campus. You can imagine how often it had to get replaced.
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"

New Hampshirite here - The Granite State is the nickname, Live Free or Die is the slogan. Also, we've got several welcome signs, and some of them do have the slogan and a little more style. Not sure I've seen the one in the video, but it's probably the worst of all the current ones.
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.
As a Michigander, one of my favorite things about entering the state northbound on 75 (other than no longer being in Ohio) is that literally the INSTANT you pass below the “Pure Michigan” billboard spread across the highway, the road turns to absolute unadulterated g a r b a g e. You could close your eyes, not even see the sign, and know without a shadow of a doubt the exact second you entered the state based solely the road suddenly feeling like a proverbial father gone to the corner store for milk, I.e. absent.
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

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.
As a Minnesotan, I too love the great and glorious grandeur of our welcome sign. It, alongside our 31 ft tall statue of a logger and his Agyria riddled Ox form the center of our culture. Every year we make the harrowing journey through snow higher than our heads to visit these monuments of the ancients, every step hounded by the wild deer who hunt us every waking hour of every day. I cannot recall when last I saw home, but I care not, for I stand before our state welcome sign.
"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: 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 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!”
One of my parents' biggest takeaways from living in Texas literally was the insane driving. They haven't been there in over 30 years and it's still embedded.
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.
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.
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.
You’re telling me that the national anthem of the United States isn’t just a brain trick that plays whenever I gaze upon such magnificance as the Wyoming welcome sign?
Mmmhmmm I ask the same question actually they have a newer sighn now and some of its older sighns actually used to say Georgia - Host of the 1996 Olympic Games until around late 2015
I'm a Utah based trucker and love your state. Well, except in the winter. Spent a week in Rawlins with a faulty truck heater last January due to a pileup on Elk Mountain. I wasn't the biggest fan in that moment, I'll be honest
@@SmoothTurtle840 It isn't just the motto for Kansas, it's just a random Latin phrase. I know because it was the motto for one of the high schools I went to, and I'm in Australia lmao
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
Personally I think the new welcome sign is too welcoming. It’s practically asking out of state “drivers” to drive at or under the speed limit on our roads. It should just say “Fuck you and Fuck off!” Nobody is allowed near our Diners except us.
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.
I drove home to Florida to visit last Christmas to good old dog shit South Florida. My new car hardly ever saw 75mph here in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. However, as soon as crossed in to West Palm Beach, I don't think it saw less than 75 until I reached the next stop light in south west Fort Lauderdale. Doing 80mph in the slow lane. It all came back like I never left.
I live in southern Oklahoma. I play a game everytime I get on the interstate. Every time someone is tail gating, swerving in and out of traffic, or passing me like I am standing still despite me exceeding the speed limit I ask myself or my passenger; Okie or Texan? Then you have to guess before seeing the plate. It is about half and half despite the fact that Oklahoma tags outnumber Texas tags 7 to 1.
It's true though! My sister went to college in Dallas and when I'd travel there to visit, I laugh out loud at the sign too because everyone drives so obnoxiously there 🤣
"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 don't believe in any conspiracy theories, but the 2 that I find the most believable are the Titanic/Olympic theory and that your guys' airport is hiding something. seriously, that horse 100% comes to life and kills people at night.
@@DeathDealer_1021 Fun fact about the statue is that it actually killed it's creator before it was finished and placed in it's current spot when the head of it fell onto the poor sculptor while he was working on the piece.
@@llmkursk8254 As entertaining as that would be I know for sure the government here wouldn't care enough to do it, plus this state is already expensive to live in and I'm afraid that adding in the statues now would cause inflation to sky rocket just for making them alone.
@Ugandan knuckles we got Muhammad Ali, Lincoln, one of the few places to be called a horse capital of the world plus the derby, and the world's longest cave system, that’s still only like 4 to 5 things, and even then we still just get called a bunch of hillbillies
It's even funnier when Virginia is named after Queen Elizabeth I, on account of calling her a virgin. Saying the state is "for lovers" is just kind of weird...
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.
@@Ongbruh It could varry depending on where you live, and I’m not just referring to the logo, but rather how often horse imagery is found around the state. The Bluegrass area in particular seems to be the worst about this.
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.
Y’alls entire identity consists equal parts of abusing some looney tunes ass physics with your trees and Myrtle Beach, which can barely be considered part of the state with how much it’s desperately trying to cross the border to NC.
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
@@chipbowdrie171 make it the most garish, ugly, obtrusive sticker possible. Make people _REALLY_ not want to visit. You and I can be on the same team here
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......
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 too agree, having lived here my whole life, Indiana is not worth moving too. Driving through it, from one end to the other, is like: Beans, town, corn, town, beans, mediocre city, corn, town, beans, town, corn.

Because Wyoming actually is kinda a cool state. It just isn’t very populous (which makes it even better in my book). They have stuff to do but it’s basically all outdoors stuff or history stuff. So if those aren’t your thing you probably aren’t interested.
Wyoming’s state sign is the most beautiful thing I ever seen I could literally stare at that thing for 10 minutes straight it just looks amazing Ggs Wyoming congrats on the best sign ever
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.
Utah is a great state....if you really like outdoor stuff. There are some very beautiful landscapes for sure, it's a good thing that's what they decide to focus on in advertisement.
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.
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
@Gamer 😐 I bet your the same sorta person to go “TheY Are rEScrItIng oUr FreEedOm!” When someone says you probably should own a firearm capable of mowing down hundreds of people
I appreciate the diversity of style and quality. If every state had an epic sign it’d feel cliché. We can the Minnesota sign because there’s signs like North Carolina’s.
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.
I audibly cried out loud listening to you roast the Maryland flag lmaooo. I've never heard such an opposite opinion of the design compared to how us locals treat it.
It is the worst flag in the world (I literally have studied flags for over a year) and it is the WORST flag, Barcelona, Spain does the same thing but isn’t AS BAD AS THIS HEADACHE
Maryland is proud of it because it’s the only state that actually put effort into their state flag design. Better to be proud of a flag than be proud of your general bad attitude *cough* New Jersey *cough*
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
Embrace the visual trainwreck that is the Calvert & Crossland. Cherish it, as all good Marylanders must. Rejoice in its unique design and be forever grateful that it's not a state seal on a blue bedsheet, like 20+ other states' flags.
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

As an Illinoisan, we really have made Abraham Lincoln our whole personality. My little town has signs and statues dedicated to him in multiple places, and he only visited my area for a couple days during his presidential campaign. Hell, I was even in a play where I played one of his exes. Illinoisans really do have *such* a hard-on for Lincoln.
@@soap9277 No, thankfully not. 😅 I basically gave a ton of biographical exposition about my character and her time with Lincoln, and which didn't amount to very much in romantic terms. I also didn't actually interact with the guy, for some reason. It's nowhere near as bad as that sounded, I can assure you. Your idea would have probably been more interesting to watch. 🤣 ETA: I love your word choice. Very illustrative, and an absolute joy to read. 😂
@@jayschafer1760 It appears as though there are a lot of other places where similar coins are used, but they are inferior to the higher value coins we have. I also think there would be more than just Illinois in the fight to keep Lincoln on the penny. As much as we love him here in Illinois, he's a national icon, and many Americans look up to him. Lots of people love Lincoln, but you are right about one thing. *NOBODY* loves Lincoln more than the collective state of Illinois.
@@o3o930 I'll be honest, you're giving me too much credit. It was 1 AM when I saw your comment, and I misread "exes" as "axes." Edit: I still would've preferred to watch Lincoln's ex headbutt his political opponents over having her give the audience an exposition dump.
Former New Mexican here. Land of Enchiladas is totally accurate. The red and green chiles on that sign is for their signature state question: “Red or Green?” With the state answer being “Christmas” which is putting both red and green chile on said enchiladas.
Yeah I'm from New Mex too, I live in Atlanta currently. Nobody understands our love of chili's... "You mean jalapenos?" is what I get all the time. I have my brother send me some fresh hatch green chilis pretty regularly and when I share them with people they get it. Most don't realize peppers can have flavor, around here we just have tasteless jalapenos or serranos.
@@Scarethelocals Do you also have your heart broken a bit when you see “chile/salsa verde” because you know it’s tomatillo-based and not actual hatch green chile?

Michigan's sign was so well made Hugsbee had to use the specific detroit highway entrance one. All other Michigan welcome signs don't have that on it. But much like the state, no one remembers the rest of the state exists outside of detroit
Michigan really deserved two shots here considering it's divided in half by a lake, and the cultures of the two peninsulas differ GREATLY (and y'know, have their own welcome signs)
Utah and Wyoming may have beat Minnesota in the sign rankings, but let it be known that Minnesota was the only state not to get roasted, and that’s worth something lol Side note, if you go up the shore of lake superior in Minnesota, right before you get to two harbors, there is a giant lumberjack statue who’s eyes glow red at night.

As a Louisiana native, the Louisiana welcome sign gets a pass from me for being the reassuring symbol telling me I'm no longer trapped in Texas or Mississippi. It may be French, but it's not Texas.
When I went on a road trip across the 48 states I could drive to without getting on a plane or going into Canada, there was something funny I found about two states. The first is that I couldn't find the "Welcome to" sign for New Jersey, a statement that I took as "New Jersey welcomes no-one." The second being that Texas has a state line sign, telling you that you have entered Texas, then 30 feet behind it, there is the "Welcome to" sign.

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.
As a Minnesotan, I too love the great and glorious grandeur of our welcome sign. It, alongside our 31 ft tall statue of a logger and his Agyria riddled Ox form the center of our culture. Every year we make the harrowing journey through snow higher than our heads to visit these monuments of the ancients, every step hounded by the wild deer who hunt us every waking hour of every day. I cannot recall when last I saw home, but I care not, for I stand before our state welcome sign.

"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.
as someone whos also lived in Indiana most their life, i also agree
The problem with that is that the sign could be misread as "in Diana". ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
As another person from Indiana why haven’t I’ve seen a creative state sign until I saw this video
Also it would look like it says “In Diana”
If you are escaping, just dont choose ohio
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.

I had never really thought about it but after seeing all the other signs I absolutely agree that ours is the best.
Not exactly over ALL signs, but it is #3 in his top 5.
“Shut up about the corrupt police department bob we need to put our money into this really cool statue”

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
Personally I think the new welcome sign is too welcoming. It’s practically asking out of state “drivers” to drive at or under the speed limit on our roads. It should just say “Fuck you and Fuck off!” Nobody is allowed near our Diners except us.
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.

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.

@@Vexxy197 damn oregon got the same treatment in the flag one lol
The hell Abor day isn't. I'll fight you.
New York did update our welcome sign a few years ago. It looks worse than the old one 😅
I'm not even mad at the fact he roasted our Alaskan welcome sign after he said the woodworking was well done
"The way life should be."
... That's not threatening in the slightest.
Totally! You should have seen this one guy! Decided to bring 16 different knives to our district and then threatened the staff with them!
So for anyone wondering Arkansas is called the natural state bc it’s the only state that has natural diamonds in it
Then call themselves the Diamond State
Why do I feel this explains the Clintons? lol
thats like calling yourself driver state cause you got most vehicular manslaughters in your state
leave it to Arkansas to fuck up the one mildly interesting trivia fact their state has
I thought it was because Arkansas is also the biggest KKK capital in the world. Including having the leader of the KKK live there
I know it looks like he's standing, but we all know he's laying in his bed doing this video
...always was...
I'm laying down right now to salute his efforts
yeah he’s recording all of this at nasa
The veil has been lifted
As a fellow Floridian, I can confirm this is ALL true about Florida.
How Minnesota got a 10/10 blows my mind as a Minnesotan, I see that sign and groan that I exist in this cold hell
Agreed 👍
Facts
It's not even cold most of the year. And the cold is poggers
Yes
Just because the state sucks, doesn't mean the sign does too. It's easily one of the better signs on just design alone.
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 a person from New Jersey, I understand how delightfully terrible our sign is. A true classic.
Our sign isn't a welcome sign, its a warning, lol
As someone from New Jersey. I can confirm that this is true.
It looked like cardboard
@@myusername3689 That's because it is.
We need him to do a review of signs saying tax money at work. You know the sign on 42 probably.
6:05 is probably the most interesting thing in all of Indiana anyway
Michigan's sign was so well made Hugsbee had to use the specific detroit highway entrance one. All other Michigan welcome signs don't have that on it. But much like the state, no one remembers the rest of the state exists outside of detroit
Yeah
as a resident of michigan, i agree, just please look at the water other people because it’s actually cool like we have fucking sand dunes
I thought it was going to be the sign in from Indiana and he was going to say our sign was boring or make fun of the pure Michigan slogan somehow lol
Michigan really deserved two shots here considering it's divided in half by a lake, and the cultures of the two peninsulas differ GREATLY (and y'know, have their own welcome signs)
11:14 "the show-me state better show me something more original" I'm deceased 💀
Alright time to go on strike in Missouri
The ending made me feel a strange sense of patriotism, thank you huggbees, you made me smile
Being a born-native Mississippian, I can safely say that you are absolutely correct. Good on you.
Utah and Wyoming may have beat Minnesota in the sign rankings, but let it be known that Minnesota was the only state not to get roasted, and that’s worth something lol
Side note, if you go up the shore of lake superior in Minnesota, right before you get to two harbors, there is a giant lumberjack statue who’s eyes glow red at night.
Sorry, there's a what?
@@eldritchteletubby9319 A giant lumberjack statue whose eyes glow red at night. Come on, man. Everyone has one of those. It is a rite of passage.
@@LucarioDoT on a scale of 1 to YES how many satanic rituals have been preformed there?

I thought we Texans replaced that damned sign.... I distinctly recall literal giant stone Texas shapes inside stone rings....
though that might be on either side of the border rest stop slash welcome center and not actually at the state line
I sang the song😂
When I went to Nevada, the sign was changed to look better, not gonna lie, the new one looks so much better.
That ending was epic! It moved me. I actually stood up and put my hand on my heart in respect and shed a single manly tear.
As a Louisiana native, the Louisiana welcome sign gets a pass from me for being the reassuring symbol telling me I'm no longer trapped in Texas or Mississippi. It may be French, but it's not Texas.
Alright, I don’t like Louisiana but that’s hilarious 😂
Ya Louisiana!
Fair point
I like how he calls Florida the alligator state when the southern half of Louisiana has more alligators than the entire state of Florida.
When I went on a road trip across the 48 states I could drive to without getting on a plane or going into Canada, there was something funny I found about two states. The first is that I couldn't find the "Welcome to" sign for New Jersey, a statement that I took as "New Jersey welcomes no-one." The second being that Texas has a state line sign, telling you that you have entered Texas, then 30 feet behind it, there is the "Welcome to" sign.
Ok? All states have the same state line sign
