What New Jersey is ACTUALLY like 

I live in Essex county in the Northern part of NJ, but I just shared this with a friend who lives in Vorhees, who told me that most of your claims about Southern NJ are accurate.

@@SmolaniAshki tell your Voorhees friend that Voorhees HS will never get the Milk Can, North Hunterdon HS will always beat y’all

Everything is legal in New Jersey

south jerseyans also pronounce water like wooder. which you did in the video lol

Seppos be like I'm from South NJ.

I lived in Camden for 4 years for college and lived to talk about it.

I had to pause the video because that line gave me a great laugh!

That’s me!! 😂

no Newark

We used to have a running joke stating that Rutgers University in Camden had a gym class where they went out into the streets and ran from the gang members shooting at them. If they weren't shot in the back then they passed gym class 😂😂😂😂.

You will notice that any state that you go to. It’s impossible to find good pizza outside Jersey. If you do the people making it are always from NJ.

From North NJ. Had cousins come in from California who stayed with us for a Wedding. One night we got a few Pizzas' and let me tell you...we had to get it almost every night at their request..! They also said (at the time) a plain cheese pie in Northern California was like twice the price at what we pay here and of course, no where as good.

Was it Trenton Pizza by any chance? Only place I'd get pizza from when I lived in San Diego

Same thing happened to me in Myrtle Beach!!!! Lol

This was a very interesting video

Now that's funny! The jughandles rally are a good idea. There's actually one near the part of Maryland I live. The only one I've seen here so far.

😂😂😂

100%

caught me lackin while i was drinking soda

Hell yeah North Jersey

South jersey 😌 love it so much better

@@lexii7795 north New Jersey the forgotten suburb rip

Get over it lol

North jersey were they just wish they were im NY lol

The video was clearly SouthJersey focused. This guy is a tool.

It's because north jersey sucks

aren't north jersey people always heated...

@@anniesaunders7016 I mean I'm from new Jersey and you aren't wrong lol

south and north jersey can unite on this topic

Bout to comment that

I'm sure he meant of the US.

@@kivzzzz that would be NY, Jersey pizza is gross

@@kivzzzz I meant what I said

@@evan Naples (italy) is the pizza capital of the world (as opposed to Naples FL)

he knows he can't claim jersey has better bagels than ny

Agreed! Best Bagels. NY City beats Jersey for food but the whole state of Jersey bets the whole state of NY.

Bagels 4 U, change my mind.

That’s because he’s from south jersey! North jersey def has the best bagels. I am prepared to die on this hill.

@@Intronerd YES. Like my childhood town has a ma&pa bagel shop that people who move out will (no joke) beg people to ship bagels to them. It's some kind of cult loyalty, but wholly deserved.

So how do you like it compared to Texas

Welcome!

I’m moving there too! Lol

Btw personal question, do you pump your own gas? Since he said it’s illegal??

@@dontneednomanstoptelllingm8481 it’s very nice here. Some crazy drivers for sure, but you learn to adapt. My only real complaint is the taxes. Definitely not cheap to live here, but it’s nice to live so close to the beach, Philadelphia, New York, and many other cool places!

Same here :))

And itll skyrocket once you step off the plane at their airport. I wanna go so bad XD

You balance it out with all our fresh fruit and vegetables. New Jersey's official nickname is The Garden State. The sad part is all the people who fly into Newark, travel on the highways into NYC or it's immediate surrounding areas, and then fly out again. Their only impression of the state is the refineries along the turnpike, and they miss the best parts altogether.

he’s just teaching you how to be correct ❤️

Factual.. north jersey ftw

That is facts

Your basically from new york this is for the rest of us real jersians lmao jk

I'm so sorry you had to grow up in North Jersey The disturbed twin of NYC

😂😂😆

Facts

Factooo

You must be from North Jersey

says the one from north jersey LMAO

facts lol

Yep, on Philly too. Even though that's were most of them work. Unless they do automotive body work, sell mattresses, or serve food.

It’s is. We’re all one team in this world.

I don't get it. South Jersey sucks.

Yes

Eye me from the right lane please

Then stop being a left land dick! Lol!!

@@evan You beat me to it! ROTFLMAO!

@@evan that was perfect, thank you

@@evan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm an actual Piney descendent. We have our own accent, and yes, kind of a southern accent but distinct. Nice people, and you can forget you're in New Jersey when you're with Pineys. Lots of Country Western music too - at least there used to be.

@@jjbud3124I moved from North to South Jersey in my teens and it walk literally a culture shock. there were phrases and words I used that they just didn’t understand and vice versa.

Actual China: AM I A JOKE TO YOU

@@hannahbee567 Why China?

If you gave a real Neapolitan pizza to most people in the west, they’d probably wonder what the heck it is lol. Pizza has been so heavily appropriated by Americans that real Neapolitan pizza is no longer the standard. No, ‘pizza’ is a mess of grease and mass produced ingredients thrown on a shitty crust now.

Italian State of New Jersey :)

@@tacosmexicanstyle7846 Pizza snob trash.

When he said "porkroll egg and cheese," *Cries in North Jersey*

@@AxxLAfriku I appreciate the avril reference

Good, more South Jersey propaganda is absolutely necessary

@@AxxLAfriku Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated.

Yeah I just asked my parents are they from North or South Jersey and they said they were from Central Jersey and I was like Evan never even mentioned that.

F*kinA❤️

central jersey here too!!

* cries in mandarin *

Sorry italian pizza is good but not the real thing..

Gee eee agree to disagree

*hand gestures intensify

haha its acutally "Hi could I please have a half pound..." (American accent) then "MOZZAELLA" (In fake Italian accent)

😂😂😂

PA also has Sheetz. Both are awesome.

@@josephmclean515 I've been to sheetz twice the closest one to me I think is like 15 or 20 miles away. So I got to turkey hill and get a personal piazza as an alternative.

Sheetz is better

@@michaelstrenkoski4056 I don't know about all that my guy.

What is life without WaWa

dont forget the jersey shuffle. (getting to a empty or full 4 way stop, looking left and right while slowing down (not stopping tho) and then just rolling thru.

using signals is a sign of weakness.

@@chiprenner oh, you got that right!!

I hate drivers like y’all 😓 this is why insurance is so high

@@chelseamesa2535 move to Georgia and eat roadkill

Yep . Some people in the southern parts have more of a Maryland vs NY accent. It's such a misunderstood state.

😂😂😂

I'm from Bergen County and have no NJ accent. I was taught to speak properly. It sounds awful when I hear how some people speak.

@chiarac3833 It's a fact that MANY of us, from all over the state, don't have any accent at all. But there are slightly country accents, NYC sounding accents, MD sounding accents and no accent at all.

Born in Jersey, a kid when we moved down south. Too city for Alabama. Too country for Jersey. I'm all mixed up

I do the same thing. I tell people, I’m from Marlton in Burlington County, it’s near Cherry Hill. And then they all agree and they all light up “Yes yes yes Cherry Hill yeah yeah I’ve heard of that”

Totally agree..

We northerns are superior.

we can also drive to rockland and ocean county ny without tolls..lol but still good video!

@@lif3andthings763 inferior*

LOL! 🤣😂😅

It doesn’t exist

It exists

No it’s just where New Jersey has an identity crisis

its the jersey dmz and btw its pork roll

Doesn’t exist

Just roll with it, man. Most Americans don't understand other Americans' lingo😂

@@KM-jn7hp i'm not a native english speaker, but my native language (Dutch) has a shit ton of overlap, lots of historic cross-pollination. we get taught proper British English in school, but we speak more like Americans, in fact i've heard serveral expats from the USA say we sound like they should be able to understand what we're saying by how similar many sounds are, but can't, trips them up lol and just throw everything together, lots of false friends between the languages too, so there's a lot of Dutchified stuff that just butchers english even further (or is farther? i prefer to use further unless i'm specifically talking about physically looking in the distance, then it's farther to me) either way, i guess what i was trying to say is: we have really weird adopted figures of speech from just about anywhere in the english speaking world, and have this real thick accent and rhythm to it where we don't sing out the words, everything seems rushed and you barely hear when a sentence ends. it's just a free-for-all shitshow in spoken english (we are generally pretty damn good at written English and grammar though) but we know getting pissed means drunk in english, and means angry in american though, and seem to have an advantage in decyphering dialects and accents too since everyone butchers it in speech over here and we have a linguistic relation that sometimes helps us along, a lot of american people have problems with the scottish tongue when they speak english, but those sounds probably have the most similarities with our dutch tongue of all the english speaking world.

@@dutchdykefinger Or maybe Frisan, which I heard is the closest to English.

@@dutchdykefinger Wow! That was very interesting to read, thanks!

Just go with the NJ specifics and you’ll be good for the rest of the USA. Since the NJ way is generally the right way every where😂😂😂because it makes sense, is efficient and way less corny than other places😂😂😂

Diner food tastes bests at 2am. Pizza fries or disco fries. A black and white milkshake.

@@ericaschaefer8486 There are 3 types of diner moods, breakfast, drunk, and drunk breakfast. Milkshakes are appropriate for all 3.

And fries.

You mean there are other things on the menu besides breakfast and burgers with steak fries? Also lets not forget the red head stepchild of every jersey diner. Cole slaw. They cant even give it away.

Woop!

👏👏👏

Pork roll

@@lexii7795 no its taylor ham

@@xsoundxwavex2228 Taylor Ham is a brand of Pork Roll so you’re wrong

@@garrettwyckoff8711 Chapstick, band aids and Velcro disagree

It’s Taylor ham. Sigh.

Most bagels in south jersey suck that's why

I have heard of Italian ice, seems similar or possibly the same thing, (I am from the midwest)

Yeah we call it Italian ice in Texas

I've lived here my entire life, but I still say "the what?" when my mom says "wooder" and "for-ked river." "Mom, it's wah-ter and fork'd river."

@@TheOnlyInformant My grandparent had a second home in Fork'd River. It was my wonderland as a child. Woods and brackish water. when I first heard the word piney

Thats South Jersey/Philly talk.

That must have been the PA drivers that were either passing through or moved to NJ cause it’s an overall better place to live.

probably your fault

LMFAOO welcome to NJ!

It was definitely you, sorry🤷‍♀️😁

Same in the UK. Doing 70 or below? Get in the inside lane, you gotta be doing at least 80 in any other lane or you’re in my way

See, I don't trust driving above the speed limit in Jersey because the cops love to ticket you for it and there are speed traps when it suddenly drops from 65 to 35!

I never ever drive to a show in camden. I always take the Riverline. $3.20 round trip. Of course, its sketchy as hell riding the train through camden at 11:00pm, but id still rather do that than pay the outrageous parking prices.

How I feel making sure I get a spot on the river line after the concert is over

This is why, ” Drive Jersey B****” is the most common phrase I say when on 295.

Central Jersey? Where’s that? 🥸

Lmaoo jk 😂

Central Jersey, FTW! xD

New Jersey* not Jersey. Please stop using just the one word as it confuses us Brits. It’s like people calling NY just York. There is a place called Jersey which is what you are named after. Which is also interestingly where Henry Cavill comes from.

What the heck is a central Jersey?

I live near Long Beach Island, and I used to work in an icecream parlor that also served Italian ices. I got requests for "water ice" fairly often, and that term always bugged me. It IS redundant - but it is pretty common. I've also worked in restaurants that served sandwiches, and I was amazed at the different names people used for them. Besides subs and hoagies, I've heard them called "Dagwoods", grinders, and wedges. There may be more. . .it has been over 20 years now since I've worked in restaurants, so I might have forgotten some.

For some reason people think the term italian ice is offensive

Wait til you find out that in parts of South Jersey we call soft serve ice cream “custard”.

Silver diner the best

marlton diner

Crystal Lake Diner is probably the one I spent the most drunken nights at lol ride the PATCO back from a Philly show and after party, head to the diner and attempt to look sober lol

Bro if you live near plainfield you have to get casanova or ferraros, it's so good Went there before and i'll never forget it

This so accurate though... The north/south fued lives. And central Jersey is where North Jersey people go to live in denial.

We don’t hate each other just a friendly family fued 🤣

We’re like the Koreans 😆

North Jersey doesn’t like associating with New Jersey either.

Absolutely. NY charges admission and people from Jersey are lining up to get in.

That's everyone who grew up in the north and moved away.

I’m glad someone said it!!

I’m from NJ and agree with you.

Agree. But those that use the terms would say wooter ice and hoooagie

As he said, he is from south jersey. He definitely used more south jersey terms in the video.

Yes, agreed! I was born in NJ and spent most of my life in Ocean County. I grew up on Mike’s subs, Italian ice, and definitely said sprinkles. Also, we said pork roll.

who is going to the beach?????

@@mirillis6083 The people who live at the shore. LOL. I'm a lifelong resident of Barnegat. I grew up at the shore. People who live at the shore go to the beach.

Ten years ago I would have agreed. Sheetz has really improved their game and I tink they are almost on the same level now.

@@markgaudry7549 There's also the fact that Wawa has depreciated. I miss the good old days when the deli was an actual deli

Grew up a Wawa girl, now I'm all about QuickChek!

@@jamielund7509 QuickChek has stepped up their game, but I still think WaWa has better food and drink.

I'm Quick Chek over Wawa but love going west because of Sheetz.

Same I’m from cherry hill and I didn’t realize how “popular it was

Hahhahahahahahahahahahahha

how is cherry hill, it seems like a nice city, and never went there despite living my whole life in new jersey.

for real!

Truth! SJ born & raised

NJ has been getting of its traffic circles. Maybe none left.

@@robertewalt7789 Still a bunch on Rt. 70 and Rt. 35. But you are correct, probably the contractors bribed the DOT to get rid of them to make more money.

​@@robertewalt7789remember the one on Rt 46? The day they opened the thru lanes, a worker commented that he would throw the barricades and run like hell!

@Benjamin Ronberg what part or county

@Benjamin Ronberg me too what town, long branch born

@Benjamin Ronberg my brother lives in Manalapan too.

How many teeth do you have (counting real ones only).

@Benjamin Ronberg There's no such thing as "central Jersey". "Central" Jersey is for people who don't want to admit they're from south Jersey.

North Jersey: Am I a joke to you?

@@erinlong2872 Yes, yes you are hahahaha. Love, Exit 3 😘

Those things are SJ too. South Jersey builds of Philly culture and a deeply Italian immigrant heritage.

@@imamejmg "Builds off of", you mean shamelessly steals >:P /s

@@blehe38 Nah, I'm Philly born of Philly born. Nothing is stolen just shared. @--;--- ✌️

We must live in the same zone. A friend and I got lost in Camden going to a concert and I was like girl we’re not stopping at any stop signs till we’re out of here lol

@@susierutledge4404 dude for real!

🤣🤣🤣

Camden's getting better these days. If anyone is there, eat at Donkey's Place. Incredible cheesesteak.

**mutters in mandarin**

Italy got nutten on a slice from Mack's, Wildwood ave and the Boardwalk baby.

I have heard that pizza in Italy isn’t what we’d call pizza here in the states.

North Jersey pizza and NY pizza are essentially the same. I grew up in NJ and live in NY. I wouldn’t have stayed here if the pizza and bagels weren’t up to my standard.

Central Jersey? Never heard of it

Me too!

I know right Evan's acting like it doesnt exist.

You know that place when you driving on the parkway or turnpike and traffic just comes to a complete stop...yeah..that is how you know you are in central NJ..so quite denying it doesnt exist..

CNJ- Its even in my user name...

Way too true

Have you ever visited Italy?

We from Germany feel the same about anyone from the US really with their lacking drivers ed compared to ours.

As someone who has driven on 295 into Philly, you people are NUTS. I'm from Jersey, and even I think that's too fast! It's 45 speed limit and EVERYONE is going 60 at least!

PA drivers are better at city driving and mountain driving, and suck at anything in between lol

And you're objectively wrong. 😉

@@MorganMalfoy13 you must not travel 295 in Jersey that often then. If you're doing 60 on 295 in Jersey you are going to cause an accident. The speed limit is 65. And nobody goes that slow. Right lane minimum is 70, middle lane minimum is 75, and if you are going slower than 80 to 85 in the left lane, you are a left lane dick and are causing a traffic jam.

No. A wawa is also a hoodlum Canadian goose not a Walmart.

@@1983jcheat oh cool😂😂😂

Dead 💀

Wawa is a very dangerous spot (talkin bout the parking lots) if your learning how to drive holy balls stay away you may get rammed 😂

Never been to Italy have you..you will be hard pressed to find pizza and when you do..its like going to China and looking for General Tso's Chicken..

True! Central Jersey is from Hamilton (Mercer County) to Woodbridge. Amiright?

@@christinecox7531 you are 100% correct!!!!

@hufflepuff harry potter lover Ik I can but I didnt wanna do that

@hufflepuff harry potter lover multiple comments count as more engagement, and also its just easier for my scatterbrain to do

I’d say it’s more accurate on the South side. The North is pretty diff lol

Ah you’ve never seen a Chicago deep dish pizza then

@@achan730 I would argue deep dish pizza is less of a pie and more a kind of Pizza Quiche. A Quizza, if you will.

yea, it’s like south jersey and philly are all kind’ve the same family, we all root for the same philly teams, everyone in south jersey visits philly, everyone in philly visits south jersey especially for the beaches and family etc, we all have good pizza and similar culture. It’s when you hit north jersey, and they’re buddy buddy with nyc.

I’m from Williamstown and when I saw that I let out a shout of joy

Very true! And our topography is really diverse too. The Skylands area up north looks so different from the area Evan and I are from, which is more pine forests and beaches.

I thought we had a lot of Wawas here but then I go to Philly and there’s practically two on every block. QuickChek is an actual product of New Jersey though which is like Wawa’s neglected sister

@@AlexxShmalex there were literally two Wawas within walking distance of my school in the Philly area.

@@AlexxShmalex QuickChek is the best. Greetings from the North!

In New Jersey it io illegal to pump your own gas. In Oregon in the last few years the law changed and now you can.

Imagine trying to pump your own gas in North Jersey...

I grew up in New Jersey and moved to New York. Can’t believe how insistent my old friends and family are about not pumping their own gas. In places that have self-serve and full serve, I always choose self serve because it’s always faster.

That's how we feel about Southern Jersey

Yea like all the guys still have the sleeves on their t shirts, don’t ride 10 speeds everywhere cuz of their 3rd DUI and getting dressed up doesn’t mean putting on a shiny new Eagles Jersey. Like leaving planet earth.
