Unboxing Oklahoma: What It's Like Living in Oklahoma

Here is my entire Unboxing Series: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq-_cmf3H6yqgM1vGG305si…

As an Oklahoman, we actually go outside to watch the tornadoes.

Just came back from an 8-day visit to Oklahoma, and it wasn't what I expected. Much greener and hilly than I thought. People were very polite and I got none of the antagonism when I chose to wear a mask that I thought I'd get (I obviously look at social-media too much). Overall, it impressed me. Tulsa, particularly, is very nice - with its outdoor attractions, bike/pedestrian paths, and arts district, it reminded me of some of our Pacific Northwest cities like Portland and Eugene. Thanks for making me feel welcome, Oklahoma!

I've lived in Oklahoma nearly my entire life. No one here says 'yee yee.' Literally no one ever.

Okie here, and would never ever consider living anywhere else. Love it here. Normal people living in a normal state. When I go to other states I just feel like the rest of the nation has gone insane.

Okie born and raised here. Never heard the term Yee Yee and some of the pronunciation of the towns were cracking me up. Good job though, loved the video!!

Oklahoman here. Literally never heard the term Yee Yee. Other than that it’s really accurate.

Been living in OKC for 10 years and love it here… but when you started talking about all of our problems, i was low key sweating hoping you wouldn’t talk about our roads and potholes… We wanna keep that a surprise for our visitors :)

Born and raised in Oklahoma. Thank you for explaining to me what a yee yee is. I asked around and my fellow Oklahoman friends and family couldn’t figure it out either.

I'm a Texan (Amarillo) but I lived in western Oklahoma for 5 years working on farms and ranches, and the people are really great. I am very proud that folks from there call me an honorary Okie :) Great video as always.

Braum's Ice Cream is amazing.

As someone from Mexico who just moved to Oklahoma Yes, Braums actually has the best ice cream ever made, and you can’t change my mind!! And also the Tornados freak me out, but I guess i’ll get used to it

I lived in big cities, like Washington D.C., Bangkok, Thailand. I moved to Oklahoma in 2019 and love it!

I'm living in Edmond right now, and nick nailed it. There is a ford f-150 on every intersection.

I laughed at “when they get out of the house, Oklahomans love to go to Bobo’s for chicken.” Yeah. When you’re drunk AF on the weekend after midnight because that’s the only time it’s open 😂😂

I was raised and spent my young adulthood in Oklahoma, though work has taken me away for many years (to the DC area and also San Antonio). I think this was a pretty accurate and even-handed video, light-hearted throughout. I really do miss a lot of things about Oklahoma, and enjoy visiting there whenever I can, usually yearly or so. Thank you for highlighting the state's diversity of landscapes - that diversity would be downright shocking to many people, even to many Oklahomans, especially those who hang out almost exclusively in the OKC area. And the state's people are great. This is all making me homesick.

This is an OK video

I live in Oklahoma. Its true they're friendly. And braums has the best chocolate milk. Braums homemade vanilla icecream is the best in the nation. I met the worst and best people in Oklahoma, but that's true about everywhere

I’m from Oklahoma and this video was incredibly accurate. Also Tulsa, Oklahoma was home to the Black Wall Street

I have lived in Oklahoma most of my 44 years and your video is mostly accurate. The meth problem isn't as bad as it was 10 years ago and I have never heard anyone say YEE YEE. The OU/OSU thing is true. Broken Bow area is really improving if you are an outdoorsman you can rent a really nice cabin down there some of them are big enough to sleep over 10 people and you can enjoy some fly fishing and go hiking or look for a Bigfoot. Lawton and Midwest City are definitely places to stay away from. In the last year I have been all over Southeast Oklahoma fishing around and the decline of the small towns is sad. A lot of them are so run down and I have noticed a lot of burned down houses in almost every small town I drove through. On the plus side the metro areas, OKC and Tulsa, just seem to be getting bigger and getting new businesses there are a lot of new houses being built. One thing about Oklahomans is that almost everyone here knows more about tornadoes and thunderstorm than most people, we even know all the meteorological terms and what they mean. We are well informed on severe weather. Check out the National Weather Museum in Norman.
