50 Weirdest Laws in the USA REACTION!! | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!! 

I'm from Louisiana, and perhaps a better "weird law" of ours is that it's illegal to tie an alligator to a fire hydrant.

Florida used to be the place where a lot of circus and carnival people spent the winter "off season" months. I'm sure the elephant law is connected to that. There is still today a town in Florida where a lot of carnival people live; Gibsonton. Its near Tampa.

Blokes , the Florida Law for parking your elephant is for real. The Circus and carnival communities wintered in Gibsonton (near Tampa) for most of the 20th century. Growing up in the 70's I saw all types of exotic animals in my neighborhood.

The sex out of marriage law concerns fornication, not infidelity specifically- but it would still apply in both scenarios lol

For an interesting law that has an actual effect on the day to day life, it’s illegal to pump your own gas here in Oregon. Same deal in New Jersey.

I believe the sex outside of marriage law isn't about adultery, but rather about premarital sex

two more strange laws in virginia: -- near virginia beach a woman isnt allowed to drive a car on main street unless her husband is walking in front of the car waving a red flag to let others know shes coming. -- its illegal to spit on a seagull

Some people used an ice cream in the back pocket to lure a horse away and then claimed it as their own, saying it was a wild horse. Kentucky breeds some of the best race horses in the world.

The sex outside of marriage law isn’t regarding infidelity. It means it’s illegal to have sex if you’re unmarried.

There's actually a law in one of the southern states (I don't recall which one) where you can't fish from horseback.

Another proof that Daz and I have the same personalities...I saw the one hand on the handlebars law and the very first thought was, "I would be so tempted to just nudge over and.......well, you know...serves 'em right for not holding on - wanna be a daredevil...let's see how badly!' (probably more than people should know about me) LOL great stuff as always, blokes!

“People riding their bicycle with no hands” is the answer to the question “Why do you carry a broomstick in your car?”

So to those interested the Ice cream sundae comes from when soda carts were a big thing in the late 1800's, at this time creating floats of soda and ice cream were what sold however due to some weird law they couldn't sell soda on Sundays, at this point you got large glasses, ice cream and syrup so they would simply put the ice cream into the glass and pour syrup on it and sell those hence the Ice Cream Sundae. Of course several different people claim to have created it but its generally down to this reason that it happened.

WV - “Illegal to whistle underwater.” Why is this a law? It’s impossible to do that, and even if you could, what harm would it do?

Went to elementary school in a small Texas town where the law was still on the books that cowboys were not allowed to dance on the courthouse roof on Saturday nights.

The ice cream one I think had to do with horse luring. People at church brought their horses and ice cream in back pocket would secretly tempt them, where as someone could catch you waving it in the horses face

With the Arizona law, the problem arose in 1924 a rancher had a donkey with a habit of sleeping in abandon bath tubs on his property when a dam broke and flooded the area. The flood took the donkey and bathtub for a ride and into a basin. Quite a bit of the town’s resources and manpower were spent trying to rescue the donkey, so not long after the flood, the law forbidding donkeys from sleeping in bathtubs was passed.

"In Oklahoma, it's illegal to make glue out of skunks." Alrighty, well as an Okie, half of me thinks, "Yeah, I can agree with that one," and the other half is saying, "Why?!??!" Lol

Georgia- No ice cream in back pocket: Why would they specify ice cream? You could just use another food to lure the animals.

Here's the full reason behind why the "infamously stupid" law of "can't carry ice-cream in the back pocket of jeans/pants on Sundays" was instated: In the "wild west" period of northern America's history, having a horse was a luxury and it was extremely expensive (much more than buying a new car nowadays, if translating prices per-unit from gold to dollar while accounting for inflation rates and whatnot). Stealing (or attempting to steal) a horse was offense punishable by death, either on spot (if you were to trespass on someone's private territory), or by trial (if attempt was performed in a town/village). Initially, this was pretty hard to pull off because criminals were making too much noise and horses were thrashing about/neighing, due to stealers' lack of skill/knowledge in handling animals. Trying to steal a horse during a broad daylight or during any workdays (which were from Monday to Saturday, mostly), obviously was nearly impossible. So, eventually, horse stealers developed a VERY effective tactic to steal horses without any excessive sounds being produced and without anyone being around when that was happening. Criminals were waiting for Sundays specifically, because this was a day when majority of people attended a church, so towns and villages were mostly empty, that's when horse stealer would come in, calmly approach horses in stables or on the street, all while riding a horse him/herself, *and put a snack* (usually something sweet) in their back pocket, in a way that the horse which is currently being stolen, sees it clearly. Then, the stealer would proceed to tie that said horse's reins to his/her horse and then the horse would calmly and silently walk out and follow the thief's horse, who was sitting on his/her horse, with the sweet snack protruding from their back pocket, for the stolen horse to smell and see clearly, and both would calmly and easily walk out of town, because majority of people are at the church sermon on that day, so streets and buildings are mostly empty with no one to see or report/attempt to stop them. After SEVERAL HUNDRED of such stealing attempts were successful and criminals were never found or/and punished, the state's officials put this law into effect. Don't put ice-cream in the back pocket on Sundays, because you'll be automatically deemed as being an attempting horse stealer, a thief of highly expensive object, punishable by death. Sure, several centuries has passed, things aren't exactly the same anymore, but the offense still stays, so the law wasn't abolished.

The reason the weird old laws are still on the books is because they aren’t charged or prosecuted. Courts in the US will only hear an actual case or controversy, so if no one is charged by law enforcement or prosecuted by the district attorney’s office, the case will never come before a court and the law will never be struck down judicially. The legislature just doesn’t bother removing laws that are irrelevant and not used.

New York - Illegal to take pictures with big cats: I think they just meant it’s illegal to shoot big cats.

The pizza law - How much do you want to bet that it was a legislator who got them sent to his house.

As for it being illegal in that state to put animals on a train track, the facts are it's illegal in every state to even be on train tracks. They're private property that has legal crossings. Most places do not enforce the law when seeing someone walking on the tracks, but if an officer wanted to they could arrest you or give you a trespassing warning so if you're caught on them again it's an automatic arrest.

We need a shirt with Dave face saying "Good Stoof" lol

I'm pretty sure the PA one they got wrong. I think it actually goes "It's illegal to catch a fish by any part other than the mouth."

The bear one is not for the bears sake. It's so the idiot who thought waking up a sleeping 10ft tall grizzly for a quick photo doesn't get eaten 😆

You know someone must have done all these, then they were like we actually have to pass a law for this 😂

The donkey in a bathtub is because during a storm a donkey got into a bathtubthat was outside and floated away. The amount of money and resources spent to get the donkey back is why there is the law.

Better arrest me then, I've worn sleeveless shirts in public, hon! Lol

FYI, PT Barnum Circus used to winter in Florida with their Elephants, which is probably where the law originated !!

Useless fun fact #237: The ice cream sundae was created by another silly “blue law”. The Ice cream soda was one of the most popular sweet treats but the sale of soda was banned on Sunday do to religious reasons.

It's still illegal to graze your cow in Boston Commons on Sunday.

That is actually where the term sunday came from, church ice cream socials

The bathtub was outside, it was an old claw style tub.

Ora Gone? As a native, it's Orugun and that first syllable is as short as you can make it.

2 former NBA big men have been in bike accidents recently in Utah: 7'6" Shawn Bradley is now paralyzed and 7'4" Mark Eaton died from his injuries. Sounds like riding a bike in Utah is a bad idea...

Mississippi law makes complete sense.

We have a lot of cotton fields in NC. In the 1800s, traveling circuses would set up in the fields and they would use their elephants to plow the area (basically ruin the field) as a means of attracting public attention lol.

I think it's still on the books that it's illegal to wear red in public in Wisconsin. Also, Frank Sinatra was arrested for "Seduction"

Traffic laws in Montana state your vehicle must always have functioning windshield wipers but dont require a windshield.

The only one I know about well enough is the NY law about photographing big cats. There ARE mountain lions in NY state, at first many agencies denied that there were because they died out but sightings are still made, and they're basically untracked and incredibly rare. I presume that it's for everyone's safety that pictures aren't taken as mountain lions are probably more likely to attack than any other predator in NY state like bears.

I ride without hands but mostly to take a break from bending me back and to stretch my arms and fingers to keep circulation and blood flow

(BTW thanks for keeping up with the Giants hat!)

Office Blokes come to the US and try each one of these in their respected state 🤣

Probably the elephant law came with the circus folk. A lot of circuses would spend the winter months in Florida so.....

He left out an old Kentucky law where a woman can't walk down a highway wearing a bikini unless a family member is walking behind her with a club.

All of these have happened at least once, hence laws being made for them. When I was a kid there used to be a sign at a burger shop by us that said, "Please, No Milk In Salt Shakers"... What a dumb sign...what a dumb rule... both made necessary only because someone was dumb enough to do it.

I just realized...Daz looks exactly like Wooly Willy. 😂😂😂

7:42 I guarantee cops never tried to enforce that law on NY Giants football great Rosey Grier, who authored several books, including "Rosey Grier's Needlepoint for Men" in 1973.

These are mostly old laws that no one bothered to take off the books and no one would bother to enforce in most cases, but they are completely ridiculous.

They do blood tests as part of the marriage process, so they will know if STDs are there or not long before the wedding

Most of these laws are distorted. You can't have explosives in MA, so the author says "you can't have an explosive golfball".

New Mexico state officials mandated that 400 sexually explicit words be removed from “Romeo and Juliet.” It is against the law for women to pump their own gas or change a flat tire… Men are expected to offer to do it for them.

Surely I'm not the only one who wants to go state by state breaking each of these laws just for a laugh 🤣🤣 Although it does sound like a challenge for Mr Beast

In Indiana also Mustaches are illegal if the bearer has a tendency to habitually kiss other humans. And the other fav one here is illegal to force a monkey to smoke a cigarette.

Somewhat surprising that they left out the bit of Idaho where it is legal to murder someone near Yellowstone. I guess maybe because it's a loophole and not a specific law.

The other thing they do is take a really badly written, vague law, and then extrapolate it into "it's illegal to do X with Y and Z" when that was never specified (but technically is true).

Pickles must bounce

In Tennessee it is illegal to shoot any game from a moving vehicle except a whale. Good thing we are hours away from the ocean lol. Eight women cannot live together as that constitutes a brothel. A woman can't call a man to ask for a date. Just a few of the ones here.

Lil DIcky did a good job with this video lol

Another weird law is that in Ohio it’s technically illegal to kiss someone you just met.

9:25 OB Dave is angry that cyclists don't keep their hands on the handlebars at all times, meanwhile I have heard 100x that one of Dave's hobbies is skateboarding.

As a New Yorker, how does the Bronx zoo fit into the law? I mean there are Lions and Tigers there as well

Hey, if the bear don't wanna ride in the cage, he can ride free. Missouri. We're like everything people love or hate about America in a handy concentrated formula

You can take your significant other to jail for infidelity and can get everything back that they gave as a gift. Many just don't enforce it.

sex outside of marriage is sex while not married, not cheating.

3:55. FLORIDA man...

10:02 "sex outside of marriage" (does not mean adultery/cheating) it means, if you are not married, it is illegal to have sex. (Unless you two are married, it is illegal to have sex.) ADULTERY = Being married and having sex with someone else. That is also illegal.

Forget the tracks or train, what about the animal? The train will be fine unless its a big animal...

A lot of places that have outdoor couch bans are due to people setting them on fire during riots.

You can whistle underwater?

Carrizozo women are banned from being unshaven in public.

Dave can't ride a bike without his hands

Can y'all react to black label society - in this river (doom troopin' live) The song was dedicated for Dimebag Darrell the guitarist from Pantera I really think y'all would really love it!! This song won't disappoint you

In the UK making porn videos of female ejaculation is banned because it's considered obscenity

Not only can I not make skunk glue in Oklahoma. Would you believe, it's illegal for me to hunt whales.

The only thing that really phased me in the vid was the way the guy pronounced Oregon. Its ORE-GUN not OREY-GON

These are kind of hard to believe

Reaction beatbox retyhmind vs dlow SBX 2021 pliss

you guys have to chek MeatCanyon chanel . watch Lasagna - A garfield cartoon

A lot of these laws are outdated & only relevant for the time. Still petty 😂

Virginia - Sex outside marriage: I think this applies to sex before marriage as well. I don’t believe it counts if it’s with someone in your family.

"Theres a lot of 15 minute videos out there that are, you know..." says a bloke that just uploaded a video only 86 seconds short of 15 minutes. 😆

Dave, how many skateboards does your ex own?

I wanna buy merch but it's too hot for the hoody and I'm too fat for a v-neck. Don't wear hats either 🙄

Sometimes I ride with no hands because riding upright allows me to breathe better.

Again your audio is screwed up

🖐💢

I ride my bike everywhere with no hands headphones on and no helmet no lights. It's my choice and I avoid cars and busy areas. Also illegal on footpath but I ride there to avoid cars.

I think these are all just laws that we knew were dumb so we just made them to make fun of the stupid laws here 😭

You play games?
