America from a European perspective
Zellith, That's more what an American thinks a European perspective is.
mayonaise_met, As a European with a higher than average interest in North America, I can say with some confidence that Europeans don’t think about the Upper Peninsula at all.
Voyajer, 
Yoopers in shambles
PaupersSerenade, 
Their loss, it’s a rather tastefully done Peninsula
Cannacheques, Boston is very disappointed
thelastknowngod, My partner is Turkish. She said that this is how America looks in her brain.
piskertariot, As a Canadian, this is largely my perspective.
criticon, The bottom half of New York should be incest, and then New York should be extended to include Canada’s big cities
Zoomboingding, 
Eh, not only is it not terribly accurate, but the jokes are overused.
Vathsade, Yeah incest needs to be bigger
ivanafterall, 
Found the West Virginian.
donuts, 
Brings a whole new meaning to "country roads, take me home."
TotallyNotSpez, Come on, you mean to tell me the United States of America were a real country? How ludicrous!
Rootiest, 
Used to be. We won WWII
TotallyNotSpez, That’s all a conspiracy theory made up by Vancouver, the real Hollywood. There’s no such thing as a landmass between Canada and Mexico. The “States” are made up to scare European countries so they won’t privatise healthcare and deregulate gun control. Are you that naïve? Geeesh!
SexyTimeSasquatch, I dunno man, every time I was in Europe and told people I was from Seattle they were like, Nirvana!!! Even like decades after Cobain killed himself.
Rolando, Makes sense. Every time I hear about Manchester UK, I’m like: Joy Division!!! But I’m sure they’re known for other things too.
ivanafterall, I think they have a soccer team.
Satelllliiiiiiiteeee, 
Two of them, in fact
Rolando, That’s right! The Manchester Arsenals and the Manchester Barcas, right? And Leopold Messi used to play for one of them before he went to Saudi Arabia.
/s
Ipodjockey, 
The blue one just needs to be switched to alcoholism and drugs. Then it’s perfect.
massive_bereavement, 
Robocop and Seattle for Frasier.
tocopherol, 
I love that the world’s idea of Seattle could be mostly based on Frasier, a show not filmed in Seattle, starring no one from the state nor written or created by anyone from Seattle, with hardly any plot line that has anything to do with the area. Basically the only thing Seattle in that show is the Space Needle, and they way they show it isn’t even possible in real life.
PaupersSerenade, Possibly my favorite Lewis Black sketch is about drinking in Wisconsin.
"You are not alcoholics - you are professionals
Nougat, Hawaii and Alaska are just ???
The_Picard_Maneuver, 
We forgot to tell Europe about those 2.
Swedneck, 
hawaii is “wait that’s part of the US?” and alaska is “discovery channel”
Diplomjodler, Hawaii is hula dancers and Alaska is Eskimos.
Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 
Cowboys, incest, but no meth?
Nougat, Meth is implicit.
kool_newt, mmm implicit meth
RojoSanIchiban, Remember Cocaine Bear? Now there is: Meth Gator!
*Also Meth Bear… there are plenty of black bears in FL. Some even go for a swim at the beach.
III, Shut your mouth before someone for the SyFy channel decides to make this a cinematic universe.
RojoSanIchiban, Methgatornado!!!
That’s actually the title, with 7 exclamation points.
SpezCanLigmaBalls, 
Washington doesn’t deserve to be part of the cowboy. No one cares about the east side of it
violetraven, 
Can’t believe you’d do New England dirty like that
DagonPie, 
Only the UK and people who have seen the Departed know about us. And I dont think they would be able to point it out on the map.
violetraven, Oh god. The Depahted khed. Swear southie is the least charming but somehow most endearing accent
cashews_best_nut, Is New England an unnofficial name for all the North East liberal States like New York and Boston?
DagonPie, New England is the name of the region in the Northeastern United States: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. No New York.
dan1101, You forgot the “Country roads, take me home, to the place, I belong!” part.
zaphod, Isn’t that the incest part? From my european point of view at least half of the “new york” part should probably be either “cowboy” and or “incest”.
dan1101, (edited ) Sometimes, there are a lot of small rural communities and the family tree branches sometimes touched tips a bit.
Lophostemon, Surprisingly accurate.
Wilzax, Other than the upper peninsula lol
GhostsAreShitty, Right? More like “pasties and trees.”
TheAmishMan, 
Yea not sure what’s up with the upper peninsula. I feel like it’s someone who actually knows Michigan and just wants to irritate Michiganders
dudinax, Michiganders are like, “they sorta heard of me!” 😍
nilloc, Those are UPers (Youpers) up there though.
Pasties and Caribou are all that exists past the Mackinaw Bridge.
bmsok, It’s Pure Michigan.
cashews_best_nut, Anybody who’s seen 8 Mile or Barbarian knows about Michigan. 😉
dreadgoat, 
Could still be a real European perspective. I've found a lot of people who are only casually familiar with North America will be able to tell you the broad cultural strokes and then one or two bizarrely specific facts. Like, "Oh yeah, America is all New York, Texas, California, Florida, and who could forget the iconic Egyptian Theatre of Boise, Idaho."
TheAmishMan, It could be yes, but generally people forget the upper peninsula exists instead of mistake it with the lower peninsula
Im14abeer, Michiganders, Yoopers and Trolls both.
captainlezbian, I think they think that’s where Chicago is
GissaMittJobb, Cars & crime would probably be Detroit though, wouldn’t it?
LetKCater2U, It’s definitely Detroit.
Steve, Modt of New York should actually say “cheese”
Lophostemon, I think “squawk !” would be more appropriate.
UltraMagnus0001, Nope! Incest should be bigger
Cannacheques, Oh no, I’d rather not
UltraMagnus0001, You are missing out
FMT99, And here I thought the whole orange part was the incest part <_<
averagedrunk, Them’s fightin’ words. You’ve just yeed your last haw, pardner.
