Cleveland not flat? But you missed the lake effect snow. That’s actually the worst part along with how little light we get in the winter because of the lake effect clouds. The lake is the route of the problems 😂

There's an episode of Hogan's Heroes where they referenced Cleveland. If you don't know anything about that show, it was made in the 1960s and set in a German prison camp during WWII. In one episode, the prisoners were looking for a map for their escape and ran across a map of Cleveland. One prisoner stated they didn't know anyone who escaped to Cleveland and another answered, "not escaped to, escape from". Even in the 1960s Cleveland was so terrible that a show thought that people would rather be in a WWII German prison camp than that city.
Cleveland used to be a lot bigger it started dying around the 70s or so when jobs started disappearing hence why over time ohios electoral votes have over time died.
Holy shit, Moses Cleveland was an actual person? Heh, how about that? And I thought that Oklahoma City's founder Steve OklahomaCity was a one time freak accident name in history.
Lol, most towns/cities are named after a real person, even streets, lanes, avenue, boulevards etc. they are named after people who probably don't even deserve it.
Three things Cleveland should be remembered for: The Cuyahoga River Fire (22 June 1969) The river was so full of garbage, fumes, and crap that it eventually caught on fire. Railroad bridges near Republic Steel trapped debris in the river, causing it to pile up. Oil on the water added to its flammability. A flare tossed from an overpassing train likely provided the spark that ignited the debris. The fire lasted for less than a half hour. The flames reached five stories high and would eventually lead to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. (The EPA was literally formed because Cleveland is so damn dirty.) 10 Cent Beer night (June 4, 1974) A MLB game between Cleveland's baseball team the Indians (Now renamed to the Guardians due to its racist depiction of a Native American for a mascot) and the Texas Rangers, on this night all beer was only 10 cents. Each fan was given the choice of six beers per-purchase (Not per-person). As you can imagine letting baseball fans get hammered on dimes was not the best idea. It was summer, it was humid, and it was right in the middle of firework season. Firecrackers going off combined with the brewing tension between Indians and Rangers fans from the game before gave the entire stadium the feeling of an active warzone. Eventually fans became restless and starting doing things like running onto the field and stealing bases. A heavyset woman (Probably in her mid 40s, seriously she looks like somebody's mom.) ran across the field flashing the crowd. Then a man stripped of all his clothes ran across the field and slid into home base. Eventually a fan attacked one of the players and his entire team backed him up and then the battle began. The other team eventually joined the fight and came to the defense of the other team. Fans brought chains and knives and threw batteries at people. There was an entire group of naked people on the field and they had a designated place for all their clothes to be put in a pile. There were over 25,134 fans that attended the game, and only 50 security guards. Only nine arrests were made after the game. The game organizers were fired the next day. Balloonfest '86 (Sept. 27, 1986) As an attempt to make Cleveland look good, a nonprofit organization called United Way of Cleveland planned a balloon drop. This was also a slight attempt to break the world record of most balloons released at once, the previous record was held by Disneyland in Anaheim California. 1.5 million balloons were placed under a large net in the middle of Cleveland, the drop was scheduled for that day but was suggested that they do it another day due to the rain. But they didn't listen and the balloons were dropped. Now at first it did look pretty damn cool but over time the balloons came falling back down, the entire city was covered in stray balloons just wondering around. Eventually, a large portion of lake Erie was covered in balloons. Two fishermen, Raymond Broderick and Bernard Sulzer, who had gone out on September 26, were reported missing by their families on the day of the event. Rescuers spotted their boat anchored west of the Edgewater Park breakwall. A Coast Guard search and rescue helicopter crew had difficulties reaching the area because of the "asteroid field" of balloons. A search-and-rescue boat crew tried to spot the fishermen floating in the lake, but Guard officials said balloons in the water made it impossible to see whether anyone was in the lake. On September 29, the Coast Guard suspended its search. The fishermen's bodies subsequently washed ashore. The wife of one of the fishermen sued the United Way of Cleveland and the company that organized the balloon release for $3.2 million, and later settled on undisclosed terms. In the days following the event, many balloons were reported washed ashore on the Canadian side of Lake Erie causing water pollution. Some people had misconceptions about the environmental impact of balloon releases, thinking that "the balloons would reach an altitude where they popped and disintegrated." To this day, you can still find remnants of balloons all over the city of Cleveland.
Thank you for this informative and entertaining essay on the historical highlights of Cleveland. I have added "visit Cleveland to look for balloon fragments" to my bucket list.
"THIS GUY" looks more like they'd be more of an East Denver, Colorado denizen (In the Colfax Avenue fiefdom).. as opposed to anywhere in The Eastern States, IMO

@@johncam8420 I'm not sure about the city in particular, but people are usually stuck in Ohio economically. The cost of living is so cheap in many places; and the wages, while often very good for that cost of living, aren't usually amazing for saving to move away. And, very often, people get stuck into expensive habits of drug use, gambling, and other such things, because "there's nothing else to do". Though it varies from person to person. There's also family and obligations and stuff.

IF YOU THINK THAT'S CREEPY CAN YOU IMAGINE A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IN CLEVELAND.BIG CHUCK FROM BIG CHUCK AND LITTLE JOHN SHOW STARRED IN A MOVIE CALLED THE DEAD MATTER AND IT WAS FILMED IN CLEVELAND, OHIO!!!
I love how the song starts. It’s like a song you just make up on the spot.
i saw that guy yesterday
+Dick Trickle moses cleveland?
I am that guy. I have a huge penis.
LMFAOOOOO
who knows i might see him too
Cleveland is worth visiting then?
THIS TRAIN IS CARRYING JOBS OUT OF CLEVELAND
I would like to learn more about Moses Cleveland. Why did he invent it?
Some men just want to watch the -world- river burn.
Because he hated Americans.
It was actually on accident. He was trying to invent the television, but he left all the parts on his workbench overnight and came back in the morning to find Cleveland there, instead.
Because "This Guy" needed a place to live.
He lost a bet
I live in Cleveland and.....yeah he summed it up. I'm trying to get out but you get stuck here.
Did you ever see that guy?
Oh my gosh I just found recent comments
Hi yall welcome to 2021
How are you stuck there?
@@johncam8420 I'm not sure about the city in particular, but people are usually stuck in Ohio economically. The cost of living is so cheap in many places; and the wages, while often very good for that cost of living, aren't usually amazing for saving to move away. And, very often, people get stuck into expensive habits of drug use, gambling, and other such things, because "there's nothing else to do".
Though it varies from person to person. There's also family and obligations and stuff.
Did you get out?
10 years later and it's still my favorite tourism video.
as someone who live in Cleveland
DON'T COME
Did you see that guy?
What guy
the dark goblin that guy (you might want to rewatch the video)
+the dark goblin you having the german flagg as your avatar , you are sure from Cleveland ?
PunicaBoy yep
This train is carrying jobs out of cleveland ROFL
This train is carrying jobs out of Cleveland absolutely killed me! The algorithm did good today
Browns made the playoffs for the first time in 18 years. Fun times in Cleveland today
EDIT 09/30/24:
Browns screwed over Baker and now he's balling Tampa Bay and they're stuck with a washed up sexual predator
IN CLEVELAND TODAY
Aaaaand it's gone.
In Cleveland town
CLEVELAND!!!
I read that all in song
watching paint dry is a old pastime in Cleveland.
True, back in the days when we still had fresh paint. Now watching the lead paint chips fall off is our new hotness.
Bret Zeller True story. lol
paint drying is actually pretty interesting if you do it
Ya know paint chips are kinda delicacy
Still more spectacular and rousing than baseball.
Oh! I thought Cleveland was a myth like Detroit and unicorns or some shit. Aw fuck, its in my country.
MasterKcoop Aw fuck its in my state,thats even worse....
Ok I don't live in Ohio but that would still be worse
@@nobrang5146 I do.
@@mitchthegamingidiot3516 my condolences.

Thanks Arin/Dan for reminding me this exists
+dowRaist Ditto.
I would never have seen this were it not for them!
What video did GG mention this?
ocarina part 44
You too?
Only in Ohio 💀
Who the fuck still uses a pay phone? lmao
Still remember the time on the bachelor tv show they said “we are going to Cleveland” and everyone silently sighed in disappointment.
*ouch*
Lyrics:
Fun times at Cleveland today
(Cleveland!)
Come on down to Cleveland town everyone
Come and look at both of our buildings
Buy some food that's prepared near the street
Who knows you might even see this guy
You should come on down to West Sixth Street
It's the perfect place if you're a douchebag
Watch the poor people all wait for buses
Who the fuck still uses a payphone?
Here's the place where there used to be industry
This train is carrying jobs out of Cleveland
Cleveland leads the nation in drifters
Here's a statue of Moses Cleveland
He's the guy who invented Cleveland YEAH!
Who still uses a pay phone? Drug dealers, that’s who.
And serial killers
And inmates
That also occurred to me. 🐾
I thought they had burners for that these days
@@awachtelyeah well cleveland was a little behind the ball on the burners
I live in Cleveland....
I live about 3-4 hits away. Weird.
Hours* Damn this phone.
I swear I am insanely glad you aren't dead greeny
***** we live in the same city.
I love in Brockville.
"Who the fuck still uses a payphone?"
Drug dealers.
OneManArmy You said this twice??
Gabriel De Luca Shut up
"Cleveland leads the nation in drifters" is the funniest goddamn line.
Who is number two?
You don’t go to Cleveland, you just show up.
Every time I rediscover this song, it's like I'm hearing it again for the first time.
Who still uses pay phones? "Hey man, I went downtown and forgot my cellphone..."
1 why would u even do that lol 😂 that's not safe at all
I live just outside of Cleveland and I can honestly say, that's about spot on. You missed crappy sports teams, but aside from that, nailed it.
The Cleveland Browns at least surpass the Detroit Lions.
come and look at *BOTH OF OUR BUILDINGS*
When he says “yeah!” at the end I imagine a freeze frame like at the end of an 80s sitcom
Guys this video's almost exactly ten years old! Can we take a second to appreciate how much of this still rings true?
Remember when TH-cam wasn't used for money, just to entertain other people on the Internet
Your avatar looks like a hair on the screen..well played.
Im from Cleveland and God this is so true. Died watching it, every line cracked me up. 7.7 Million views was deserved!
The founder of ohio slander
Once I went to Cleveland for a concert, and on a Friday night there were no bars or restaurants open downtown, except for a bowling alley with weird gourmet food. Lmao
Did you happen to see This/That Guy when you stopped over there?
Did you see that guy
This is the Ohio memes before the Ohio memes lmao
zoomers meming about ohio don’t know about this one
I come back to this video every time I have to look for a new job or place to live so I can set my expectations accordingly.
Lebron is coming to save our economy ♫
still Clevvvveland.
he already did...Downtown.
He's leaving after the end of the post season tho soooo
I AM SECOND Trump can’t do anything other than complain on Twitter
LOL, he's gone now
The best part is that Moses Cleveland (who founded the city and the city was named after), even he actually left Cleveland.
No, this isn't a hastily made Cleveland Tourism Video, this is a completely honest Cleveland Tourism video.
LOL yeah it is
“Fun times in Cleveland today! Cleveland!”
I paused game grumps in another tab to come here
+Digital Screams same
+AHYognaught22 Just did the exact same, lol.
+Digital Screams
Iam where link is riding on epona.
+Digital Screams Crazy that I am a Game Grumps fan and yet I have no idea about this reference, I just love these videos.
+Matthias Ahlswede Me too!
Hey, that building at 0:11 is what Loki walks out of in the first Avengers when in Stuttgart, Germany!
This will never stop being funny, as a Clevelander.
It’s 2023 and I’m still coming back to this gem.
Cleveland is in Ohio
This explains everything
the ohio memes are coming full circle
763 people are from Cleveland
***** It's only gone up 30 people in 3 months haha
***** I'm from Cleveland and I love this.
***** Nah, we realize the city is this bad. It's fucking hysterical.
I'm from a suburb just outside of Cleveland.
now 764
+RigmaRollin I'm actually from Cleveland and unfortunately this video is both hilarious and true. I'm not sure the wife digs it, she kindof had that Keanu Reeves blank stare. If you want to see what East Cleveland is like, search "Hood2hood Cleveland" Good god you don't want to go to East Cleveland or ANYWHERE off the main roads.
“Who the fu*k still uses a payphone?” *This* *is* *from* *2009* *if* *you* *are* *wondering.*
LOL funny since I live in Manhattan and our last payphone booth was torn up years ago
This is true. All they left out is the fact that all Cleveland sports franchises suck.
+GA. Luigi Exactly
+GA. Luigi Historically yeah but the Cavs are rolling.
+Stuart Kruidenier h
+GA. Luigi The Browns are just that NFL team I forget exists
Yeah, I'm from the Cincinnati area not actually in it, just 30 miles away, but Cincinnati Bengals are waaaaay better than Browns
I nearly pissed myself laughing at this! LOL

In Cleveland where you often have more murders in a week than we have in 1 year *Fact* !
Stewart Rose Murder rate is a bullshit statistic, fact. If you live your life around drugs and bad people, you're just as likely to be killed anywhere. If you live a decent life, you'll be fine in any city.
I'll bite.
My hometown: not Cleveland.
I win!
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO BINGHAMTON, ENDICOTT OR FILNT? They're sooo much better man.
This man can make an entertaining video about a city in ohio. IN. OHIO. He is too powerful.
looks boring and haunted
+joz addon
That's pretty much what it is.
@@jaycnwdo But it's still funnier than hell!
I feel like it's never sunny. I have family in Erie, PA and everytime I come to Cleveland it looks all dreary like it does in this video.
"Come and look at both of our buildings" , "he’s the guy who invented Cleveland YEAH!" DEADD😭
That payphone joke only gets funnier with time
the best!
"Come and look at both of our buildings." Lol..
“This train is carrying jobs out of Cleveland” oh my god lmao ☠️😂😂
Fun times in Cleveland today, Cleveland!
Come on down to Cleveland town everyone, we have 3 cases of ebola!
Ebola. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a LONG time! Way better than Corona, I’ll tell you that!
@@intergalactichumanempire9759 doesn't ebola cause internal bleeding?
Ain’t a damn thing changed
The one thing these videos forgot was how awful how the Cleveland Browns are
3-13 but since I'm a Cincinnati Bengals fan I'm okay xD.
That should go without saying... Browns are a perennial failure.
Geno2733 0-13
Ę-Mæń better record than the bengals this year btw
This video makes me want to visit Cleveland.
This is amazing
Bruh I’ve seen you on most of the videos on the nostalgic playlist 😭

Tbh, this makes me want to visit Cleveland
As a UK person, I'm sure I've seen sitcoms in the 80s that were set in Cleveland, and it looked like quite a snazzy modern place.
It was once a great city. It hasn't been that starting in the sixties. Sad.
It used to be great, then it was ok, then it was SHIT, and now it's eh. I know a girl who only went there one time and she saw someone get shot. talk about luck.
That would be Cincinnati, Cincinnati WKRP :-)
Endicott, Binghamton, Endicott, Binghamton, Endicott, Binghamton, Detroit, Flint, Pontiac, and Endicott.
Cleveland was filmed in front of a live studio audience
can we still nominate a 2009 video for the oscars this year?
Can't stop listening on repeat. YEAH!
Come see an Indians game. Then after it is over sprint back to your car as fast as you can because now its dark out and you're a scrawny white guy and you're in Cleveland at night!!!!
PS: At least we're not Detroit!
+Deaddude308 I think your P.S. is Cleveland's city motto - "Cleveland - At least we're not Detroit!" :)
Deaddude308 are u that scared of black people? What about your shadow ?
