We Asked Brits To Label The United States Again, Because It’s A Thanksgiving Tradition

Last Thanksgiving, we asked our London office to (try to) label all 50 states. The results were varied at best. A year on, we decided to see if they’d learned anything since then. Spoiler: They have not. (H/T)

01. First Up, This Guy Made The Rookie Mistake Of Putting His Name On The Top.

Robin Edds

You might live to regret that, Paul*.

(*Paul is a Foreign News Editor, FYI.)

02. This Person Started Well But Then Just Seemed To Give Up And Decide That Everywhere Is Indiana.

This makes the fact that he didn’t get Indiana right all the more amusing.

03. Rather Predictably, Pretty Much Everyone Got California Right.

04. There Was Only One Person, However, Who Correctly Identified The Great State Of A Dog.

Robin Edds

05. This Person Probably Wouldn’t Want You To Know That She’s American.

Robin Edds

And as you can guess from her map, she’s from the Midwest.

06. Some People Nailed It.

Robin Edds

07. Some People Did Not.

Robin Edds

13. Some People Opted For That Age-Old Trick — Draw A Tornado If You Don’t Know The Answer.

Robin Edds

14. Adding Question Marks To The End Of Every Answer Means You Can Be Stupid Without Looking Stupid.

Robin Edds

OK, so maybe they look a bit stupid.

15. This One Is Probably The Best Because Of Cat.

Robin Edds

16. And Then There Was Geeky Geekerson With Her Dual Nationality.

Robin Edds

Though after this, one of those nationalities may have to be reconsidered.

17. After Looking At This Map, We Spoke To Experts And Can Confirm There Is, In Fact, Nothing There.

Robin Edds

18. You Couldn’t Argue With This One.

Robin Edds

As we all know, large caps = the truth.

19. Whereas You Can Argue With This One.

Robin Edds

Way to piss off the whole of Texas!

20. And This. WE’RE SORRY, WE’RE SORRY, WE’RE SORRY.

Robin Edds

21. Uninterested In A Geography Quiz, This Person Decided To List Films And TV Shows Set In Each State.

And, to be honest, it’s a thing of beauty.

Robin Edds

Your move, Uncle Sam.
