Why is New Jersey used as a comedic punching bag?

Why is New Jersey used as a comedic punching bag?

cause they'll call you racist if you make fun of Detroit

You mustve never been to jersey, sugarfag

No they won't.

Maybe people would care if the entire state wasn't a suburb of two different cities

LIVING HERE IN JERSEY

Yes they will. Making Detroit jokes is anti-progressive, but Jersey is full of white people.

Is there there a cape hero for Jersey?

I REALIZE

FIGHTING VILLAINS FROM AFAR

YA GOTTA FIND FIRST GEAR

because Rebecca is from Delaware

Go away.

A YOUNG WARTHOOOOOOOG

People believe Gotham is based off of New Jersey.

New Jersey's produced a lot of people who have found work in the entertainment industry, and it's a very Jersey thing to take the piss out of Jersey.

But then people who weren't from Jersey got in on it, and the joke took a life of its own. Also helps that New Yorkers, who also have a huge influence on the entertainment industry, think that North Jersey is representative of the whole state, instead of just being the worst part of it.

...

I'm here to stay.

its positioned where jersey would be, but feels way more chicago.

Because it's not a joke, NJ really is a shithole

Because Americucks are uncreative with jokes.

Ms. Marvel is set on Jersey? Sauce? I don't read the comics so...

What is the rest of the state like? What are some examples of the good areas?

I've lived in NJ my whole life, I still don't have a concise answer. Could be the stereotype of "smogland & douchepeople", likely the newest catalyst was The Jersey Shore shitshow(which were assholes shipped in state soecifically for the show). I've lived in pretty clean suburbia my whole life, hour drive from philly and nyc whenever i want, half hour from Six Flags and the beach. Shit's pretty tight.

...

>Sauce
What are you asking for exactly? You know the source, the fucking comic, what other source do you want?

If you want a real shit hole, just look at east st louis.

Because they don't have the means to fight back.

Sounds like a good location. What's the cost of living like?

It was originally supposed to be the bad parts of NYC while Metropolis was the good parts. But over time it has started to look way more like Chicago or Pittsburgh

WOKE UP THIS MORNING

GOT YOURSELF A GUN

Because money says if you're not from Jersey your only experience will have been the shittiest parts.
If you're passing through, you'll probably just be on the shitty turnpike full of aggressive drivers, taken through one of the cities which are either horrible ghettos or smell like piss and oil.
If you haven't even been, you'll probably only know it from tv shows about horrible Italians.
Every tv show about Jersey is about a Horrible Italian.
Except Megas.

>northern """""""cities"""""""

Because is the most densely populated of the 50 United States, and second-wealthiest U.S. state by median household income as of 2014.

All cartoons writers hate cities and always push poor suburbs and small population settings.

What's a largely Irish large city in American and is it shit?

Something like you cunt. What part of "I don't read the comic" do you not understand?

Maybe they wanted to show a city that's actually functional.

I'll quit making fun of it when I need a map instead of following it's smell whenever I need to go there.

WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SHITPOSTING ON Sup Forums?!

Have you ever been to Jersey?

He said hero. Not pandering.

IN YOUR GIANT ROBOT CAR

This, fix your shit and maybe people won't laugh at you

Pittsburgh's actually got a fairly low rate of violent crime for its size.

You're probably thinking of Philly.

>But then people who weren't from Jersey got in on it, and the joke took a life of its own. Also helps that New Yorkers, who also have a huge influence on the entertainment industry, think that North Jersey is representative of the whole state, instead of just being the worst part of it.

That's not South Jersey user

Depends on the area. The closer you are to any city(most of them suck compared to philly and nyc) and the shore it gets pretty unattainable. I'm in central jersey and the best prices are the aparments which are mostly hispanic families(which are chill af, imagine similar to the apartments you see in the back of worldstar fight videos, except minus the crazy black people). Sales tax is 7% which kinda sucks, but at long as you arent retail/burgerflipping experience lvl, employers are sympathetic and decent.

Fuck off.

No I live in comfy cozy California.

>Sales tax is 7%
Outrageous.

Anywhere that uses the phrase "Taylor Ham" is basically wasteland

meant more of the style of the art, way more mills and chemical manufacturers

You're in New England, it's not much better anywhere. You can go to delaware where it's 0%, but if you think NJ is just a crossroads to more interesting states, delaware makes jersey look like LA.

but he's right. even look at the image posted, it looks like she's standing on an awning just over the front door where it's pretty easy and relatively safe to stand in order to pose for your so kawaii selfie in your super affirming ms marvel cosplay that they might make a special cosplay variant photo cover of because you're just so fucking kawaii you special snowflake you.

kamala is trash, her book is trash and the character she inherited her name from is trash too. as is her jersey

The whole fucking state smells like shit.

Another state that smells like shit is Indiana. What the fuck is up with entire states smelling like shit?

Those are fighting words user

>selfie
What? That's not a selfie. Get your shit together user.

Am jerseyian, wtf is taylor ham

Factories. You get accustomed after a while or never.

You fucking faggot, had you read it you would have already known that. The source is the comic, the panel is from there.
That's such a stupid question.

I never said it was a selfie you fucking illiterate moron. READ what I posted before you respond.

Here i'll even spell it out for you:

It LOOKS like she's standing up on a roof in a regular fucking suburb in an easily made from thrift store shit "costume", which is designed so it looks vaguely heroic but also VERY emulatable for selfies because cosplayers are massive attention whores and have to show people pictures of themselves.

Marvel/DC have been pushing this 'costume that isn't a costume' bullshit to get kids to cosplay characters because it makes great publicity for their shitty brands.

Why dya think Spider-Woman went from a full spandex body suit to pants and a bike jacket (with the ugliest sunglasses in history)? It's just good marketing. They want kids to stand on tall things and pose as their heroes, they make it easy on purpose.

Majority of the factories border the highway where there is nothing of interest, gives the impression that they're everywhere. They smell like shit when I pass them too.

Indiana is also farms, driving on 80 is a shitshow with the windows down.

Go to Jersey, you'll see why it's America's taint.

I'd rather skim for keywords than read all that shit. Thanks anyway.

I feel like I've heard plenty of Detroit jokes in cartoons but I can't think of any.

stupid cunt.

I even added a picture to get your attention and you couldn't read a few lines. enjoy being ignorant you fuck.

Pennsylvanian here, it's like looking into Mordor from Minas Tirith.

>it looks like she's standing on an awning just over the front door where it's pretty easy and relatively safe to stand in order to pose for your so kawaii selfie

Read your own post, don't blame others because you don't know how to phrase what you're trying to say correctly.

You did say it was a selfie though. Read your post again

>it looks like she's standing on an awning which is a good place to take a selfie

yeah, nothing wrong with that sentence bub.

That's like 3 1/2 paragraphs, not exactly "a few lines".

I'm sure your thoughts and feelings are very important to someone. Just not to me. Have a nice day.

That's not what you posted though, see now that you rephrased it, it's easier to tell what you actually meant.

jesus christ does everything need to be tweet length for you?

and to you madam.

dude, it's blantantly obvious if you read the sentence, I really don't understand that because the word selfie is used you assume I'm saying the picture is a selfie. But next time I'll be very clear, I didn't realise the reading age on a comics board was so low, I forgot half the work was done by pictures.

No fucking shit the comics are the source, Sherlock. I was asking for the line/vignette where the info appears or do you think I'm gonna go through the entire series just to find out, you humongous faggot.

kek'd heartily

Briefly in Billy and Mandy

>what's the source
>The comic
>B-BUT BUT
Lmao.

The comic isn't the source.
A specific panel in the comic is the source.
Not him by the way.

It's not as crystal clear as you're saying.

See YOU know what you meant, that doesn't mean everybody else does to. And when you phrase something as poorly as you did, you can not complain when people misunderstand you

>it looks like she's standing on an awning just over the front door where it's pretty easy and relatively safe to stand in order to pose for your so kawaii selfie

It looks as though you're saying she is standing there to take a selfie. That's what the sentence says. You may not have meant that, but that's what it says.

But user you need to read every issue of ms marvel its SO good. Like this one time she fucks up, but she's adorable so it's okay. And then this other time she literally phones a better hero to bail her out, and that's okay too because she's being responsible and calling an adult because she can't handle being a hero. She's just so quirky and adorable.

I hope the series runs for years and kamala one day graduates to captain marvel!

The comic is the source, it's just not the complete source. Why would I lie about her being from NJ anyway? That's such a pointless lie.

I'm certain there are doznes of other threads in other boards you could be shitposting in.

Yes you are retarded, I think we already established that.

>That's what the sentence says.

but it isn't at all. Break it down.

>it looks like she's standing on an awning

>where it's pretty easy and relatively safe to stand in order to pose for your so kawaii selfie

What part of 'its a safe place to take a selfie' actually implies 'she is taking a selfie'?

I don't care that this is bait I'm replying anyway

I thought you were the one baiting? This thread's gotten out of hand.

It does imply that's why she's standing there. I don't know how you don't see that.

I'm not baiting, you just can't somehow see that your sentence can be misunderstood. It's okay to make mistakes.

Dude are you fucking retarded? Reread that sentence, say it aloud and tell me it can not be misinterpreted.

for

>Whoa Ms. marvel is from Jersey? I wonder where I can read about that.

There's at least three people here who didn't get what stupid point you were trying to make. The issue is with your wording at that point.

Oh yeah I see what you mean now.

newark, atlantic city, and camden are shitholes.

standing there because it's a nice place to take a shot does not infer that she is actively shooting. I was saying that the reason the cover is her standing on a regular roof in a suburb is because it's emulatable for kids who want to replicate the picture. Thats the point of that cover. It's making Kamala a relatable character who you can envison yourself as and replicate the cover yourself. It's marvel's new thing to get young kids actively posting about them on social media, like the coke cans with names on them (which was a fucking genius marketing move).

I'm not trying to be a dick, but you're right, I do literally not understand how anyone can read a sentence that basic and have trouble with it. but this is a ms marvel thread after all so I'm assuming you guys are all like 14


>3 people don't get it so you must be wrong
C'mon user you know that's not how subjective analysis works. We need an ample group size of ranged demographics to answer honestly. Just because 3 people piped up because they didn't understand doesn't lay the blame at either party.

>went to school at West Virginia University
>WVa has some sort of equivalency deal with Jersey where students can get in-state tuition for certain major programs
>fucking ton of rich Jersey idiots looking for a cheap degree moving into campus

Fuck that state. Y'all can't handle your liquor then decide to trash the dorms when drunk.

>where does it say she's from Jersey?

>here look, this panel

>then a random faggot appears and goes "HURR DURRRR THE COMICS HURR"

the other user got it immediately, it's only you who's been making an clown out of himself for the last 5 posts.

>
>it looks like she's standing on an awning just over the front door where it's pretty easy and relatively safe to stand in order to pose for your so kawaii selfie

It looks as though you are mocking her for standing on the roof and taking a selfie.

The only problem is you don't want to admit that you could have worded it better and would rather blame everyone else.

>I-It's not me it's y-y-you!
Get over yourself.

>We need an ample group size of ranged demographics to answer honestly
Well we're the only audience you got here buster. If your write to your audience properly then you suck at it.
