As everyone knows, the U.S. is made up of 50 different states, and each one comes with a unique history, culture, and lifestyle.
As great as travel guides and tourist maps are, nothing can sum up all of these separate jigsaw puzzle pieces like a single hilarious snapshot!
So if you want to see if your state is being properly represented, then check out these 50 perfectly stereotyped photos that could very well be legit.
Oh, and there’s no one squealing like a pig here. Georgia is so over Hollywood and is all about them sweet “peaches” now.
1) Arizona
People come for the dry heat, but little do they know just how perilously hot this state can get. Here’s a little known fact: one random fart can light up the whole place!
2) Alabama
Sweet Home Alabama? Not quite – there’s something missing from this picture. Oh yes, right’s right – why aren’t there any stained tighty whities hanging on the clothesline?
3) Alaska
Alaska – proud home of the original rush hour bear fights. It’s the only place in the country where that “bears were boxing on the highway and blocking my car” excuse won’t work with your boss, ’cause it happens every day.
4) Arkansas
Karate kids with guns. Now that’s represetin’ all the homegrown Arkansawyer’s out there!
5) California
When Californian’s aren’t stuck in constant gridlock traffic, they’re trying to go surfing. But, sometimes their surfboard tries to go on ahead without them!
6) Colorado
This isn’t everyone’s cup of loose leaf weed tea. But in a state where smoking marijuana is totally legal, the wingsuit hiking gear is right up there with being totally normal for Colorado folks.
7) Connecticut
Wanna throw rocks at attacking seagulls? In Connecticut, stuff like that isn’t free – it’ll cost you 50 cents plus tax!
8) Delaware
Delaware’s attractions are very…non-existent. That’s okay, because pretty much everyone forgets that the state even exists anyways, so everything is on par for the course.
9) Florida
Want to take your dog for a walk on your rescue zebra and not get noticed? Then move to Florida, the armpit of the country where anything weird goes!
10) Georgia
Mmm, sweet Georgia peches! Yes, that’s spelled “peches” you fool! Geez, what backwoods country one-room homeschool barn were you taught to spell at?
11) Hawaii
Lava is the only thing under permanent quarantine in the state of Hawaii. But not even fences can stop this hot mess!
12) Idaho
Yeah, you speedster Idahoans, slow down! You might run over one of your precious potatoes.
13) Illinois
Illinois should be really just be called Chicago. No one cares about 99% of the rest of the state.
14) Indiana
Sad thing is, this isn’t the only sign like this peppering the highways of Indiana. But on a lighter note, go Hoosiers!
15) Iowa
There’s nothing in Iowa but rolling hills as far as the eye can see. Occasionally, drivers may see a vending machine on the side of the road, but that’s just there to add a pop of color to the otherwise boring and bland landscape.
16) Kansas
Guess what, Dorothy. If you’re not in Kansas anymore, it’s because one of the state’s massive tornadoes whisked you away and dropped you off a neighboring state. Be glad it did and don’t go back!
17) Kentucky
Now this is the real Kentucky. It’s filled with low brow drunks wearing horsey heads who have mastered the art of inhaling beer without spilling a single drop from their Solo cups.
18) Louisiana
Vampires and Mardis Gras? Naw, nothing says Louisiana like a teenage father teaching his ballsy daughter how to hold a gator in one hand and a toddler in the other.
19) Maine
Not only is the sun shining, but there’s barely 10 feet of snow on the ground. What a great day to be alive in the state of Maine!
20) Maryland
These aren’t just any old grocery store cheese balls. These are Herr’s classic OLD BAY cheese balls. Big difference!
21) Massachusetts
It’s not just the sign with attitude. It’s the over the top Boston accent that goes along with those words that sums up Massachusetts (and its weather)!
22) Michigan
Yep. Life in Michigan doesn’t get any better than this roadkill Army truck. No really, it seriously can’t get any better than this ’cause it’s Michigan, home of Detroit and 8-mile long roads of pure poverty.

23) Minnesota
In Minnesota, a regular ol’ snowman won’t do. It’s gotta be a tough, beer-swilling dude, which perfectly describes all the buzzed people in the state.
24) Mississippi
Leave it to a hungry inventor from Mississippi to come up with a covered pontoon picnic table. Now they can float from one BBQ joint to another and order takeout without getting up from the comfort of their seat.
25) Missouri
Missouri, or “misery” as some outsiders call it, has “dry” sense of humor. Rain or shine (or let’s face it, it’s just rain all the time), this state is twice as wet as the Pacific Ocean!
26) Montana
Montana is kind of like Alaska with its huge mountain range and wide open spaces. But, both their bears and burly men are way hotter – and they know it!
27) Nebraska
This nice open-air toilet has been funded in part by Nebraska’s Children of the Corn. It even comes with a corncob teepee roll so you don’t scratch your butt with all that hay.
28) Nevada
Yep, this is definitely Nevada! What the picture doesn’t show is the alien magician Elvis impersonator that took this photo.
29) New Hampshire
Yes, it’s absolutely true. There are 20 Dunkin’ Donut locations for every adult, child, and dog in New Hampshire. It seems so cruel that other states are stuck with Starbucks.
30) New Jersey
What this picture fails to depict is the fact that New Jersey is actually two different states. Just like Korea, there’s a North and South. And these 90’s Jersey Shore bozos are Northeners all the way.
31) New Mexico
As the 47th state to join the union back in 1912, New Mexico is neither new, nor Mexico. But it’s the only state in the nation that won’t let you leave until you’ve soiled the bed like a newborn at least once.
32) New York
New York isn’t about having an Empire State of Mind. It’s about having Empire State-sized balls, just like Pizza Rat does when he’s hunting for food in broad daylight.
33) North Carolina
North Carolina may not always win the spelling bee. But it’s the only place you don’t even need to finish “shcool” to get a job with the city.
34) North Dakota
North Dakota – where they give away guns as hockey raffle prizes. But since no one actually lives here, all the residents win a gun for each of their hands!
35) Ohio
Now there’s the ultimate existential question that I’m sure everyone who crosses the Ohio state line asks themselves. No worries though, most people are smart enough to just keep on truckin’ through!
36) Oklahoma
Even though this state’s abbreviation is “OK” there’s not much that’s okay about Oklahoma. Take the quakenado, for example. It’s a real event that happened in 2011 when an earthquake and tornado decided to give the finger to the state at the same exact time!
37) Oregon
Well, Portland is in Oregon. Need I say more about their hipster-not-hipster wannabe weirdos?
38) Pennsylvania
The Amish like to set themselves apart with their crafty wood furniture and hand-churned butter. But when it comes to their drunk Amish teens, they are exactly like their drunk, techno-crazy counterparts – they all suck at driving!
39) Rhode Island
Wait, you mean it’s wrong to pit armed lobsters against each other in a fight to the death, before boiling them in water and drowning them in butter? Don’t tell that to Rhode Island!
40) South Carolina
Nothing says Confederate loyalty like two southern boys showing off their hanky panky love for the flag in public. The boots and hat are a little bit over the top, though.
41) South Dakota
Who hasn’t ridden the Giant Rabbit of South Dakota in front of Wall Drug Store? This roadside attraction pretty much sums up everything interesting about the state.
42) Tennessee
God and small children don’t need to see your obscene anatomy, so quit wearing those disgusting knee-length short shorts. These Bible thumpers might start to get the wrong idea about your calves!
43) Texas
Everyone’s a cowboy at heart in Texas, right? That’s why they don’t blink an eye at their Sonic Drive-In’s when someone rides up on their horse!
44) Utah
No, no, those decals are all wrong! This must be a brand new starter family, because each one of this guy’s sister wives should have way more kids than that.
45) Vermont
Maple syrup isn’t just a lifestyle choice for folks in Vermont. The lifeblood of this state is literally flowing through their veins!
46) Virginia
Don’t tell the po-po! But did you know you can get homemade 500 proof homemade moonshine from Bill Jones? All you have to do is find his cabin in those dense Appalachian woods.
47) Washington
As someone who has lived in Washington, can confirm that this is totally true. Right down to the sweater and eyeglasses!
48) West Virginia
Nothing to see here. Just a couple of West Virginians on their way to Walmart, where they’ll hook up their mobility scooter-lawnmower train to a grocery cart for a day of shopping.
49) Wisconsin
In Wisconsin you can get liquor, cheddar cheese, and Rumchata in a single drive-thru experience. Could life be any more grand than it is in this fabulous state?
50) Wyoming
The “Why” sounding part of Wy-oming is right. What does this state really have to show for itself, when it’s made up of absolutely nothing?
